The stupid. It burns. Palin style. I hate her.

“This is what happens when you exercise the First Amendment and speak against his sick, un-American espionage efforts.”
~~Sarah Palin on Julian Assange/WikiLeaks

I have to take a few deep breaths before I start writing, because I really do hate this bitch with a passion that knows no bounds ...

In through the nose, out through the mouth. In through the nose, out through the mouth.

I'll give her one thing – Assange is un-American.

Dipshit.

Of course, I should be "fair and balanced" and provide context for the above quote, from Jake Tapper and ABC News:

The website and personal credit card information of former Gov. Sarah Palin were cyber-attacked today by Wikileaks supporters, the 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate tells ABC News in an email.

Hackers in London apparently affiliated with “Operation Payback” – a group of supporters of Julian Assange and Wikileaks – have tried to shut down SarahPac and have disrupted Sarah and Todd Palin’s personal credit card accounts.

“No wonder others are keeping silent about Assange's antics,” Palin emailed. “This is what happens when you exercise the First Amendment and speak against his sick, un-American espionage efforts.”

The irony of that ridiculous, fucktardian** statement is so very painful.

You know, it's not often that I root for people who are obviously knowingly breaking the law, but ...

Go, Operation Payback! Go!

What's OP's tagline? Oh yes. "Freedom of Speech – Priceless. For everything else, there's MasterCard." Catchy. I like it.

Suck it, Palin!

Speaking of MasterCard, and its fraternal twin Visa, they were both taken down today by Operation Payback, as well.

I find this whole thing so very fascinating. You've got the geeky anti-hero, Assange, holed up in a jail cell in England on "allegations" of rape and sexual misconduct. Funny thing about those allegations, though; the women involved didn't intend to file charges against Assange, they simply wanted to track him down to tell him to get tested for STDs (how that morphed into rape charges allegations, I will never understand). Then you have this entire, anonymous subculture of hackers that has arisen to his defense and is attacking the companies, people, etc. who have attacked him. In a way that's the scariest (but oddly inspiring) part, because these people mean business. On their Twitter feed, they announced Visa as a target, gave the ETA, and – BOOM – Visa's website went down.

I'm impressed, and yes, I guess you could say that I'm rooting for them in a way. Power to the People, Man!

**I know I just pulled a Palin and created a new word – fucktardian – but I kinda like it!

Fucktardia - Where Sarah Palin is Queen!

There once was a girl from Fucktardia,
Who had a bad case of giardia,
Retard's her name, unleashed by McCain,
Of dipshit Republican Partia!

Ah well, it's time to pay tribute to a great man. I share a birthday with him and I often wonder what the world would look like had he lived on. 

Rest In Peace, John! We miss you! 

Dreamers of the World: UNITE! Come out and play!
