Title: Truth Out was hacked "and our content deleted"
Post by: dandi on March 31, 2011, 04:28:10 PM: Laugh it up now, DUmmies. You giggled like a bunch of pre-pubescent grafitti artists when your "Anonymous" retards were effing with websites, so don't cry now when you get a dose of your own medicine.

I told you there were serious Black Hats on the conservative side, too, but you have to be smacked in the face to get your attention.

Truth Out was hacked "and our content deleted"
From Truht Oout, in my email box today:

Dear Readers,

Late last night, Truthout.org was attacked and our content over the past ten days was deleted. We're working to capture the cache versions of those stories that are no longer available and republish them on our website.

You may find that some links will take you to "Page Not Found." Right now we're working to restore the vandalized stories.

We will update you as soon as we have more information, and hope to be back in full force very soon.

Thank you for your patience and your support!

Sincerely,

The Truthout Team

1. I wonder if it was a conservative "Anonymous"-type group?
Apparently this type of thing is only funny when it happens to people with whom we disagree.

6. There is some sort of moral equivalency to responding to
censorship aggressively as Anonymous did when a news organization was shut down by the U.S. Government and hacking into a news site because you don't like their political views?

"Anonymous" has messed with a lot of people, DUmbass, including hacks and DOS attacks on people they disliked just because of their ideology.

Of course, everything the Left does is pristine and righteous. They seem to find a moral justification for everything from refusing to pay debts to stealing income from others to sexual perversion to slaughtering millions of unborn children.

I was hoping to read more about Rove's impending indictment and how Obama will heal the Earf.

That was kind of sort of one of my own stray random thoughts; maybe the Bostonian Drunkard wrote something really stupid, and embarrassing for TruthOut, and they needed to cover their tracks.

Go ahead, you can say it, "C-a-v-e".

Now, why in the HELL would we hack a site to remove your content? You don't think we enjoy reading your spaceball bullshit? Why do you think we have the DUmpster? It's not us that wants to silence you; it's you idiots who want to silence us. Our word gets out we gain followers and voters. You idiots being exposed forces you to lose people, and voters, and states, and congressional members, and, well, you get the point. :nutkick:
