Comment advocating genocide of gays left on blog is traced to office of Senator Saxby Chambliss

[ck4829]

Earlier today Joe Jervis of Joe.My.God. put up a post about today's Don't Ask/Don't Tell vote, and the post garnered a comment from a poster named "Jimmy" saying "All f*****s must die."

In his haste, Jimmy forgot that gays are smart, Blogger logs IP addresses, and he was using a computer linked to the US Senate network.

Shortly after the comment was posted, Jervis put up a post containing the IP address the comment came from and asked his readers to look into it. Within a few minutes, JMG readership had done some crowdsourcing and determined that the comment had come from a computer linked to a US Senate network. They further determined the computer is located in a suburban Atlanta neighborhood that is home to Saxby Chambliss's district office.

In a post a few minutes ago, Jervis states that Chambliss's office is aware of the matter and "moving quickly to understand the facts."

It did come from his office.

3. If someone hacked into the Senate network...

I'd doubt they'd go around posting obscene comments advocating mass murder on blogs.

4. It's probably not Chambliss himself

I don't think he's smart enough to post on a blog but it likely was one of his knuckle dragging POS staffers who was just smart enough to post on a blog but not smart enough to bother hiding where he was posting from.

7. From what I understand, Chambliss admitted it.

I'm assuming that means that they've already traced a culprit. I'm pretty darn sure that if Chambliss thought it was hacking, he'd have said that FIRST before admitting that it had anything to do with his office.
