The 2008 vice presidential candidate told ABC News it's an example of what happens "when you exercise the First Amendment and speak against his sick, un-American espionage efforts."

AP Oct. 16: Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin speaks during a rally in Anaheim, Calif. |
In a posting on the social networking site Facebook last week, Palin called Assange "an anti-American operative with blood on his hands." She questioned why he wasn't "pursued with the same urgency we pursue al-Qaida and Taliban leaders."
Rebecca Mansour, a SarahPAC aide, told The Associated Press that staff moved quickly to secure the website and no data was compromised.
Hackers acting under the label "Operation Payback" claimed responsibility for problems Wednesday at the websites for MasterCard and Visa, which stopped processing donations to Wikileaks after it released secret U.S. diplomatic cables.
Mansour also said Palin's husband, Todd, had been contacted by Visa and was told "a company in London was trying to access his account this afternoon for verification."
Visa advised him to quickly close his credit card accounts, and he did, Mansour said.

Wow - I thought I'd hardened myself to the worst rhetoric of these nuclear-armed nutcases, but this fruit is a new one to have thudded down from the tree of ignorance planted in the park of public life in America. I quote "In a posting on the social networking site Facebook last week, Palin called Assange "an anti-American operative with blood on his hands." She questioned why he wasn't "pursued with the same urgency we pursue al-Qaida and Taliban leaders."
ReplyDeleteJulian Assange has blood on his hands?!? Already we're seeing the opening salvos of the truth assasins as they prime us for another barrage of lies. Remember the weapons of mass destruction? Remember the hundreds of thousands of dead civillians in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan? Who's blood is on whos hands here Mrs Palin? I dont see why I am surprised anymore by these cowboys, but I am - and knowing that these lies, concealments and deciets emminate from a nation born in genocide, enriched by slavery, and stabalised by the overconsumption of the worlds diminishing resources does not make it easier to comprehend. There are a host of nations embroiled in the Wikileaks revelations, so why should the USA cry so much louder than the rest... is it that they have caused so much of the offences I wonder.
