Showing Original Post only (View all)Anonymous are Criminals, according to the Far Right Wing! Lol! [View all]

Googling the reaction on the Far Right to Anonymous' letter is hilarious.
Regardless of what they did or did not do, just the claim from Anonymous that they stopped Karl Rove from stealing Ohio has driven Right Wingers out of their minds.
So where's the crime here or the 'threat to national security'?
1) Right Wingers say they are lying. So if they are lying, it's just a prank. Where is the threat to NS in lying about Karl Rove? Wouldn't that make HIM a threat to NS? Has there ever been a bigger liar than Rove?
2) It's possible they are reacting so viscerally because they secretly suspect it might be true. But wouldn't that make Anon eligible for a Medal of Honor, or in their case a Medal of Freedom?

We have given Medals of Honor to people far less deserving, eg Gen Sanchez! Saving Democracy from election fraud seems like a much more honorable reason to receive a Medal of Honor, or as pointed out in the comments by Stevenleser, a Medal of Freedom assuming Anon are civilians.
It's hilarious watching them try to defend Rove from the accusation of Election Fraud, while at the same time they are furious at him for the total failure of ORCA.
Very clever of Anonymous to force them into such an untenable situation regardless of whether it is true or not.
We know Rove is capable of stealing elections. Which is what makes Anonymous' claims believable. Maybe even to the Far Right which is why they are so angry?
Poor Karl, my heart goes out to him! Lol!
Has he denied it btw? Lol!
Nothing more successful than getting the Far Right all riled up and on the defensive over charges of Election Fraud.

But you didn't answer the question. You have provided nothing but speculation

Fantasy based on bullshit makes EVERYONE on the forum buying into it look stupid... True or false?

What part of "25 years of programming experience" trained you to deny stupid?

If your friend thinks ORCA has any connection to vote tabulation systems, then he is no expert.

And thats what it was. The damn PDFs were mailed out. The website that hosted the data existed.

If they can send an anonymous email, they can send a printout of the code they found.

Agree with everything you said except about the Medal of Honor, which is only for military. Civilian
