The Left has really, completely, lost its shit.

Except hacking is a crime and it originated within Russia.

Right. It’s a crime. And the FBI should go after them and do whatever it can to bring them to justice.

That being said…

If they hacked an e-mail account that’s pretty bad but it’s no grounds to question the outcome of an election. Now if they swapped vote totals, deleted some votes, added votes here and there or what have you.; that is grounds for possibly looking into questioning the outcomes of the elections because the various secretaries of state cannot certify the election results in that case.

Aside from that, the Dems got nothing except a case of hacking. Sorry.

Look, the DNC, Clinton campaign and Podesta were all hacked.

That information was then released on to two different web pages and also to WL.

The information came out in small bits daily and was timed so as to step on Clinton events and announcements.

It's been determined that the hacks originated from within Russia. It's also been determined that the two web pages were fronts for two Russian intelligence services, the FSB and the GRU. This was a calculated act of espionage.

Now, given the fact that only one of the candidates was targeted, the logical conclusion would be that it was done in an attempt to influence the outcome of the election. It's impossible to quantify how many voters were swayed by this tactic but it's equally impossible to say that it had no effect at all.

The larger and more important issue with this is of course the future security and integrity of our elections going forward.

The worst thing we should do is dismiss it out of hand.

We'll see soon enough. The calls for declassifying the Intel on this are growing louder.
so was the information within the emails released touched up or changed? Why are you ok with corruption in our government by our politicians? Shame on you for accepting the corruption? you're worse than the hack. All the hack did was enlighten the country on the corruption and you don't care. wow!!!!

You never know for sure if the hacked e-mails were the same things being released.
sure we do, they didn't deny them

Yeah…

When the “hacks” supposedly involve you and a child porn sex scandal…you’re supposed to show up and deny them???

http://www.usmessageboard.com/posts/15734084/

The fact is that you can never be sure if what is being released was truthful or not. Unless you trust hackers… Which apparently the average Trump supporter does…

Okay.
I agree with everything you just said. However, when the US DOL releases it’s figures every month (and did so during the election), you could take the unemployment rate and high light it. Hey look, UE is less. Or you could take the total number of Americans out of work and high light it. You mean XX,XXX,XXX people can’t find work? Every political operation has done this. Trump and his operatives just had more firepower courtesy of e-mails written by democrats. If the democrats are crying foul…they should probably look in the mirror.

I also think that you may be giving the average Trump supporter too much credit for understanding what was being released. Did you pour over every syllable of these things or did you just take the headline and wince? I think most people just winced. I know Trump didn’t read them—he probably didn’t know what they were talking about. To his credit though, Trump did what he does best, gloss over details and feed his moronic supporters their daily dose of venom. Can’t blame him for doing that.

I will say that it is really strange (wink wink) how many ties the Trump campaign had to Russia. Didn’t they have to fire a campaign manager when his ties to Russia were uncovered? Now his SoS got a medal pinned to him by the Russian Premier? Trump’s tax returns were not released but one of the rumors was that he had gotten loans from some oligarchs over there. Lots to ties to the Kremlin with this guy.
is being friendly to russia a bad thing?

You tell me…

Do you think the “former” head of the KGB who admires Trump and has personally awarded his SoS nominee a medal —this guy named Putin is more like Gorbachev or Kruschev? If you say Gorbachev, I’d ask you to support that with facts. If you say Kruschev and his “We will bury you.” statements, I’d ask you to rationalize your comfort.
well, that may be difficult to pop out a quick answer, but I'll try. I think the former KGB does admire that a businessman outsmarted a 30 year politician out of the presidency of the US. Yes indeed. Are they friends, I highly doubt it. Is it bad if they become closer, nope I think that benefits our country.

The guy named Putin is Putin and is who he is. I give two shits who he's like. He got away with quite a lot under a obummer presidency and that is on obummer and not Putin. Our president should have stopped Putin. You disagree with that?

Stopped him from taking over Crimea? No. Not in our interest.

So you’re okay with Russian bases in Nebraska now that they are our friends and all…right?
 
Hacking is a crime. Hacking done by state actors and attempting to influence an election is an act of espionage at best and an act of war at worst.

Here you go Mac. Here's one that is OK with this. Treasonous?


So hackers got into the DNC and revealed the corruption of that organization. They could have been hackers located in the USA or any other country. They put out the truth so all could see what the dems were trying to do.

If that's treason, then CNN, MSNBC, and the NY times are also guilty of treason.

I understand that the truth bothers you, as it should.

Not only that you want more corruption by giving them back the keys!!!! wow, that is unamerican.

Ms. Clinton and her campaign were not government officials.
Do you think that the Trump campaign didn’t have any such e-mails?
 
Look at the threads in Politics right now.

Conspiracy theory after conspiracy theory, charge after charge with no solid evidence.

These are THE SAME PEOPLE who were mocking the right wingers here, not months ago, for conspiracy theories and baseless charges.

It's the fuckin' Twilight Zone in here. What happened to these people?
.

Try eight years ago.

HE'S A FUCKING MUSLIM AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE. HE'S THE WORST PRESIDENT EVAHHHHHHHH.........

You people don't know when your ridiculousness pops up and bites you on the ass.
That's a real good try at deflection there.

But...

Please look at the third line, in which I point out that the Right had conspiracy theories and baseless charges too.

The two are just so similar in their behaviors, aren't they?

Okay, try again.
.
Are they so similar? Look at the lists of conspiracy theories and tell me if you honestly think the left even begins to come close to the right in this? Yes, you made a notation that the right does this, but you called out the left on it. Not the right who has "lost it" many times over.
Of course their behaviors are similar. Both deploy spin, diversion, distortion, deflection, denial, personal attacks, straw man arguments, hypocrisy and outright lies to push their agendas, as naturally as they breathe. That's the point of my sig.

What I didn't expect was this madness I'm seeing from the Left right now. They're doing some of the same things they've been mocking the Right for, for years. For whatever reason, I thought they were better than this.
.

At the moment, you only have this one example of CT. Hard to make a case with out more.
 
Point in case,,>>>> The only people saying that Russia hacked the election are the Clinton supporters and their friends. The CIA has become a proven Obama controlled political hit\attack squad like the department of homeland security under the current director. The FBI has said there is no basis for the claims made by the liberal lying media. Apparently it only takes TEN people out of over 500 to make it a major problem in lala land. Their "bipartisan" claim in electors is reached by including one "NEVER TRUMPER" and nine electors bound to Clinton. This is the shit that is going to take liberal dimshits down for fifty years to come. It will be what makes for the biggest conservative voter registration ever, and the complete eradication of liberals from the political stage for years. You apparently have NO idea how much mainstream Americans hate liberal whining, intimidating, treacherous, thieving, extortionist. We have let you run wild forever in the name of freedoms while you stomped on ours and shoved, harassed, and defamed us, with your small egotistical minds and your inability to accept your complete ignorance, BUT THAT time is about to end along with the Lassies Faire treatment. You are about to hit the wall at 150 miles an hour. You have alienated the cops, the military the people who pay the bills and everyone who really matters in the day to day of this country, and we do not need or like any of you foul stupid arrogant bullies, You are about to get what you deserve, because we are about to give you 60 years worth of your stupidity back. The people of the country spoke to your stupidity, and are getting tired of you proving daily how far and LOW you will go to try to keep us as your punching bags. I am ready, I promise you are not for what is coming LIBERAL LYING TREASONOUS SCUM will be crushed like eggs under a STEAMROLLER Of real progress because YOU WILL NOT SUBJUGATE or RULE US.


The only people saying that Russia hacked the election are the Clinton supporters and their friends.

Completely wrong.

No one is saying the "election" was hacked. No one is asserting that the vote was in any way tampered with. Only that any hacking and the subsequent release of that information was done in an attempt to smear one candidate only in order to influence the election.

Mitch McConnell just backed a bipartisan investigation into whether Russia helped Trump win


So when a hacker makes the truth available about how the DNC tried to manipulate the election that's smearing one candidate? How about all the so-called Trump sexual victims who came out and lied? Were they and the media trying to smear one candidate?

politics is a dirty slimy business, to pretend otherwise is very naïve.

Hacking is a crime. Hacking done by state actors and attempting to influence an election is an act of espionage at best and an act of war at worst.

Here you go Mac. Here's one that is OK with this. Treasonous?


So hackers got into the DNC and revealed the corruption of that organization. They could have been hackers located in the USA or any other country. They put out the truth so all could see what the dems were trying to do.

If that's treason, then CNN, MSNBC, and the NY times are also guilty of treason.

I understand that the truth bothers you, as it should.

Except hacking is a crime and it originated within Russia.

Exactly. That is not in dispute. It's just their motive that is disputed.

Except THAT is where it becomes a Conspiracy Theory. There is no way they can do that - they would have to hack into hundreds of different computer systems seperately, that are not tied together in any way, centralized or connected.

That's it exactly. You can't even be sure if they are releasing an entiere item, or just a segment that sounds damaging when taken in isolation. There is no easy way to verify, and no reason to trust someone like Assange OR the Russian government more than our own government.

Of course their behaviors are similar. Both deploy spin, diversion, distortion, deflection, denial, personal attacks, straw man arguments, hypocrisy and outright lies to push their agendas, as naturally as they breathe. That's the point of my sig.

What I didn't expect was this madness I'm seeing from the Left right now. They're doing some of the same things they've been mocking the Right for, for years. For whatever reason, I thought they were better than this.

At the moment, you only have this one example of CT. Hard to make a case with out more.
Wrong. Posts 6, 299, 337, 359 and 458 all include examples of my point.

But I already know that I could provide a thousand examples and they will all be denied.

Fine with me. Denial is a fundamental strategy of hardcore partisan ideologues, both ends. I'm used to it.

I'll look at those posts.
 
Except hacking is a crime and it originated within Russia.

Right. It’s a crime. And the FBI should go after them and do whatever it can to bring them to justice.

That being said…

If they hacked an e-mail account that’s pretty bad but it’s no grounds to question the outcome of an election. Now if they swapped vote totals, deleted some votes, added votes here and there or what have you.; that is grounds for possibly looking into questioning the outcomes of the elections because the various secretaries of state cannot certify the election results in that case.

Aside from that, the Dems got nothing except a case of hacking. Sorry.

Look, the DNC, Clinton campaign and Podesta were all hacked.

That information was then released on to two different web pages and also to WL.

The information came out in small bits daily and was timed so as to step on Clinton events and announcements.

It's been determined that the hacks originated from within Russia. It's also been determined that the two web pages were fronts for two Russian intelligence services, the FSB and the GRU. This was a calculated act of espionage.

Now, given the fact that only one of the candidates was targeted, the logical conclusion would be that it was done in an attempt to influence the outcome of the election. It's impossible to quantify how many voters were swayed by this tactic but it's equally impossible to say that it had no effect at all.

The larger and more important issue with this is of course the future security and integrity of our elections going forward.

The worst thing we should do is dismiss it out of hand.

We'll see soon enough. The calls for declassifying the Intel on this are growing louder.
so was the information within the emails released touched up or changed? Why are you ok with corruption in our government by our politicians? Shame on you for accepting the corruption? you're worse than the hack. All the hack did was enlighten the country on the corruption and you don't care. wow!!!!

Not only that you want more corruption by giving them back the keys!!!! wow, that is unamerican.

There was no corruption revealed.

Doesn't matter...here's the typical train of logic...

Okay.
I agree with everything you just said. However, when the US DOL releases it’s figures every month (and did so during the election), you could take the unemployment rate and high light it. Hey look, UE is less. Or you could take the total number of Americans out of work and high light it. You mean XX,XXX,XXX people can’t find work? Every political operation has done this. Trump and his operatives just had more firepower courtesy of e-mails written by democrats. If the democrats are crying foul…they should probably look in the mirror.

I also think that you may be giving the average Trump supporter too much credit for understanding what was being released. Did you pour over every syllable of these things or did you just take the headline and wince? I think most people just winced. I know Trump didn’t read them—he probably didn’t know what they were talking about. To his credit though, Trump did what he does best, gloss over details and feed his moronic supporters their daily dose of venom. Can’t blame him for doing that.

I will say that it is really strange (wink wink) how many ties the Trump campaign had to Russia. Didn’t they have to fire a campaign manager when his ties to Russia were uncovered? Now his SoS got a medal pinned to him by the Russian Premier? Trump’s tax returns were not released but one of the rumors was that he had gotten loans from some oligarchs over there. Lots to ties to the Kremlin with this guy.
is being friendly to russia a bad thing?

Is being friendly to Iran a bad thing?
yes, they wish to abolish the US. The russians don't. Russians know they can exist with us. Iran, nope.
 
Nothing happened to them it is just a manifestation of their inner being. They are losing all relevance and are trying to hold on any way they can.
I have a dear friend who was kind of a mainstream Democrat, up until about a year ago.

But since then, she's gotten progressively (no pun intended) nuttier and nuttier, to the point now where she puts up five to seven posts a day on Facebook with online signature initiatives, all kinds of "articles" from every progressive group on the planet, on and on.

A few months ago I offered up a little resistance to one of them and she went crazy. Since then I just leave her be.
.
About 10 or so years a friend of mind went completely off the rails. We were at their daughters wedding reception and she went off on me for no reason that I know of. I expressed no political opinions nor did I even tell them my affiliation. She was screaming at me about Bush, I in deference to their daughter said nothing. I was actually in shock seeing a friend slide into the madness of liberalism.

My brother has a picture of Obama in his living room, I think it is to ward off conservatives. It works.

To again address your OP. Think back to when the left was in power and the things they were condescendingly saying. Such as the next Republican president hasn't been born. Or how they were going to beat all the dumb rednecks. That type of thinking hasn't stopped just because they got their asses whooped. What they can't accept is rejection so they lash out.

I understand the feeling. Most of my family back home are Democrats. Not so much because they are hardcore progressives, but because they are all from the 50's when the Democrats were considered the party of the poor working class. Plus all they do is watch CNN and MSNBC.

My grandmother was always a "Truman Democrat", and hated Nixon. During the BJ Clinton years though, she confided in me that she voted for Bob Dole. It was just funny how she felt like it needed to be a secret. She read several books at the time about how corrupt the Clintons were. Made her vote Republican for the first time in her life.

Think this year I'll wear a Trump t-shirt when I visit for the holidays.
 
I will tell you from my 50 years of following politics, the left has always been unwilling to negotiate between the parties. Ever. Today it causes us to keep the government going all the time cause they won't negotiate what spending to cut. There is no such thing to a libturd as a spending cut.

How did that obumerrcare thingy work out? oh yeah after hours and it has to become law to know what is in it. Oh and keep your doctor, cheaper and all of those lies. That is all libturds. Social Security, Libturds. Welfare, Libturds. Name one entitlement that came from a republican.

Lastly, sorry, they hate people who have success.

Those who are invested pay less of a tax on dividend income than they do through money earned through labor.
Pretty much a tax break (also known as an entitlement).
so a tax break is an entitlement to you eh? Nice to know. Funny as hell.

When you pay less than the standard tax rate…you betcha.
it is? Hmmm post up that definition for us.

Well, I define it as this: When you’re not paying as much as you should because of action by the politicians, you’re getting an entitlement.

Try eight years ago.

HE'S A FUCKING MUSLIM AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE. HE'S THE WORST PRESIDENT EVAHHHHHHHH.........

You people don't know when your ridiculousness pops up and bites you on the ass.
That's a real good try at deflection there.

But...

Please look at the third line, in which I point out that the Right had conspiracy theories and baseless charges too.

The two are just so similar in their behaviors, aren't they?

Okay, try again.

And you had 8 years of Obama is a muslim; Obama was not born here and 8 months accusing Ms. Clinton of everything from having lesibian affairs to murder to having Parkinson’s disease, a hole in her tongue and child sex trafficking.

Perhaps you can show us a thread like this where you accused the right wing of “losing it’s shit”?

It’s okay if you can’t (and we know you can’t). However, if you’re truly not a partisan as you claim to be; you can better illustrate that by trying to be a bit more honest in your calling the balls and strikes.

Okay…time to cue up the indignant retort.

You never know for sure if the hacked e-mails were the same things being released.
sure we do, they didn't deny them

Yeah…

When the “hacks” supposedly involve you and a child porn sex scandal…you’re supposed to show up and deny them???

http://www.usmessageboard.com/posts/15734084/

The fact is that you can never be sure if what is being released was truthful or not. Unless you trust hackers… Which apparently the average Trump supporter does…
you know what bothers me more is the pure ignorance of the media to look into hillary and show her corruption. I thank them for showing the world how corrupt she and the DNC really are. They are scum.

I don't care who hacked their accounts, either the media is the media for everyone or not. If the MSM wants to be in bed with the DNC then this is my outlet. You choose.
