HOW TO WIN AN ELECTION

Another one of those videos you have to email to your retarded free-loading friends who think Obama is the man to lead this country.

COLLEGE CREDIT IN EXCHANGE FOR CAMPAIGNING FOR OBAMA

And what degree do these credits go towards? An Associates Degree in Dumb Ass?

University of Massachusetts officials on Monday quashed efforts by an Amherst campus chaplain to offer two college credits to any student willing to campaign in New Hampshire this fall for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.

Chaplain Kent Higgins told students in a Sept. 18 e-mail, "If you're scared about the prospects for this election, you're not alone. The most important way to make a difference in the outcome is to activate yourself. It would be just fine with (Republican candidate John) McCain if Obama supporters just think about helping, then sleep in and stay home between now and Election Day."

Higgins added that an unnamed "sponsor" in the university's history department would offer a two-credit independent study for students willing to canvass — identify supporters — or volunteer on behalf of the Democratic nominee.

University officials disavowed the effort after inquiries Monday by The Associated Press. They said it could run afoul of state ethics laws banning on-the-job political activity, as well as university policy.

FBI SERVES WARRANT ON DEMENTED OBAMA SUPPORTER WHO HACKED PALIN'S EMAIL

The net closes. I think this kid has been leaving anonymous comments here lately.

The FBI is stepping up its investigation into the possibility that a University of Tennessee student hacked into the personal e-mail of Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

A person who identified himself as a witness tells 10 News that agents with the FBI served a federal search warrant at the Fort Sanders residence of David Kernell early Sunday morning. Kernell lives in the Commons apartment complex at 1115 Highland Ave.

David Kernell is the son of Mike Kernell, a Democratic state representative from Memphis.

A Department of Justice spokesperson confirmed there has been "investigatory activity" in Knoxville regarding the Palin case, but she said there are no publicly available search warrants, and no charges have been filed.

A separate law enforcement source confirmed to 10 News that a search warrant was served on Kernell's apartment.

According to the witness, several agents arrived at The Commons of Knoxville around midnight.

They presented their badges upon entering Kernell's apartment, where several students were having a party, and took down their names.

He says Kernell's three roommates were also subpoenaed, and must testify this week in Chattanooga.

WAS PALIN EMAIL HACKER A FOOT SOLDIER FOR OBAMA'S CAMPAIGN?

So I read this at Gateway Pundit this morning:

There is a connection between David Kernell and David Plouffe--- Barack Obama's Campaign Manager!
From a commenter at Terry Frank (who has screengrabs of David Kernell's Facebook page):

There is an apparent connection between David Kernell and David Plouffe. If you do a Technorati search for “david kernell” (http://www.technorati.com/search/%22david+kernell%22?authority=a4&language=en) and then click on Videos about David Kernell, the first video you see if of David Plouffe (Campaign manager for Obaman). He probably did the video for Plouffe.

This is not a casual connection.

So I went looking around. I found this at Frankly Speaking who is investigating David Kernell:And this from Libertarian Republican: A video from David Plouffe linked on Kernell's Technoratti page.

In another bizarre twist to the Sarah Palin email hacking story, the prime suspect in the FBI investigation David Kernell of Tennessee, had a video produced by Barack Obama for President Campaign Manager David Plouffe on his Technorati Search Page.

Libertarian Republican blog interviewed Computer Applications Specialist Dave Kittlery of Abilene, Texas this evening. Kittlery discovered the video link late yesterday, and captured it in a screen shot. (The black pen markings on the screenshot are from Kittlery).

Kittlery asserts that it is a very strange coincidence that the Plouffe video would show up right on Kernell's Technorati page. One possible explanation according to Kittlery: Kernell's name would be in the credits for the production of the Plouffe video.

Plouffe is known to be a big advocate of NetRoots, a gathering of Leftwing Bloggers, formerly known as Yearly Kos, who often engage in on-line mischief against political opponents. Obama produced a personal video to the NetRoots convention which was held in Austin, Texas the weekend of July 16. Kittlery told LR that is entirely possible that Kernell might be a member of the NetRoots community.

Kittlery also pointed out to LR that the video, which encourages volunteers to become the "cavalry" of the Obama campaign, has since dissappeared from Kernell's Technorati page. He has the screen shot in his possession, and has graciously made the screenshot from yesterday available to LR and to a limited number of websites covering the Palin email hacking story.

Kernell is the son of Democrat State Representative Mike Kernell of Memphis, Tennessee. He is a 20 year old college student at Univ. of TN - Knoxville.

Here's the screenshot (Click to enlarge)



The actual video seems to have vanished from the face of the internet. We have yet to find anyone linking it. We'll update if found.

UPDATE: Might this the "cavalry" video? Nevermind that this douche pronounces it "calvary" which, of course, has a totally different meaning. It doesn't mention Kernell, but it's easy to see how a demented liberal nutjob like Kernell could interpret this video as his marching orders to do the kind of things he has done.

UPDATED REPORT: SON OF TENNESSEE DEM. STATE REP. TARGET OF PALIN EMAIL HACKER PROBE

Well, you had to know it wasn't going to be Dan Quayle's kids:

State Rep. Mike Kernell said today that he was aware of Internet rumors about his son being the subject of speculation that he accessed the personal e-mail of vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

Asked whether he or his son, a student at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville, had been contacted by authorities investigating the break-in of Palin's account, he responded:

"Me, no."

As far as his 20-year-old son, David, he said: "I can't say. That doesn't mean he has or hasn't (been contacted by investigators)."

Kernell, D-Memphis, cited the father-son relationship.

He said he had talked to his son today, but that he talks to his son regularly.

He declined further comment.

Attempts to reach the younger Kernell for comment were not successful.

The FBI and the Secret Service started a formal investigation Wednesday into the hacking, according to the Associated Press.

A first-hand account reported by the Associated Press suggested her account was vulnerable because a hacker was able to impersonate her online and obtain her passord.

The alleged hacker, using the e-mail address rubico10@yahoo.com, posted Wednesday to a forum on the website 4chan about how he used Yahoo! Mail's password-recovery tool to obtain the Alaska's governor password.

"i am the lurker who did it, and i would like to tell the story," rubico10@yahoo.com wrote.

The hacker guessed that Alaska's governor had met her husband in high school, and knew the Republican vice presidential candidate's date of birth and home Zip code, the Associated Press reported.

Using those details, the hacker tricked Yahoo Inc.'s service into assigning a new password, "popcorn," for Palin's e-mail account, according to a chronology of the crime published on the Web site where the hacking was first revealed.

Yahoo declined to comment today on details of the investigation, citing Palin's privacy and the sensitivity of such investigations, according to the Associated Press.

The person who claimed responsibility for the break-in did not respond Thursday to an e-mail inquiry from the Associated Press.

The break-in of Palin's private account is especially significant because Palin sometimes uses non-government e-mail to conduct state business. the Associated Press reported.

The Associated Press and Commercial Appeal of Memphis contributed to this story.

More details as they develop online and in Friday's News Sentinel.

REPORT: FATHER OF PALIN EMAIL HACKER IS A TENNESSEE DEM. STATE REP.

From Gateway Pundit:

Now there's this...

Wired.com has the latest on the Palin scandal:

...The story was briefly posted Wednesday to the 4chan forum where the hack first surfaced. Bloggers have connected the handle of the poster, "Rubico," to an e-mail address, and tentatively identified the owner as a college student in Tennessee.

Threat Level was unable to reach the student by phone because his number is unlisted. His father, when reached at home, said he could not talk about the matter and would have no comment. The father is a Democratic state representative in Tennessee.

The report continues...

Free Republic is on it.

More on the Palin Hacker---
This is from the comment's section from Michelle's earlier post:

AKGoldRush over at LittleGreenFootballs.com unearthed who rubico is in this thread (it’s not the topic of the thread so just do a search for the name to find the posts in question…but he outs rubico10 in post #873).

rubico10

David Kernell
rubico10@yahoo.com
20
Memphis, TN
amateur chess player
son of democratic state 93rd district senator Mike Kernell (Tennessee)

The password he chose for Palin’s email was popcorn. Get it? Popcorn? Kernell? How very clever of him.

And apparently, someone’s even updated his Wiki page with this info! (It’s been deleted but is still viewable in the history tab).

More on Rubico10=David Kernell HERE.

His Wikipage has had a lot of revisions today.

UPDATE: Daddy's website is gone!

We can't verify any of this at the moment, but don't be surprised if this turns out to be true.

TODAY'S OBLIGATORY MICHELLE OBAMA "WHITEY" TAPE UPDATE: WAS THE VIDEO EMAILED TO GATEWAY PUNDIT?

The Gateway Pundit wrote the following today:

There's been a lot of talk about the Michelle Obama "whitey" tape for obvious reasons. A video showing Michelle ranting against whitey won't shore up any of those white voters that Obama lost after his G-D Wright controversy.

Now that Hillary Clinton has suspended her campaign for president I thought that I would share what I had.
This was sent to me back in May:

I greened out the sender.
The link goes to a Yahoo group that is no longer accessible.

There is no mention whether the video was actually watched. It sort of implies that it wasn't. Certainly can't blame someone for not opening every attachment they receive in their email.

BAD MOOKIE: AL SADR SHAMES HIS FAMILY

From the Mudville Gazzette...

Iraq’s Josef Alsadar said that Muqtada Alsadar has tainted our family reputation; we will deal with him internally.

Alseyed Josef Alsadar a member of the honored Sadar family wrote a letter to Alrafedain news which said: ‘Muqtada Alsadar has tainted the reputation of this respected family, and the family disowns Muqtada. We are as innocent of him as the wolf is of the blood of Josef (Biblical (Old Testament I believe) and Koranic reference). The family is working on ways to discipline him with in the family. Consultation for this are held at the highest level to come up with punishments for its rogue son.

These courageous and dangerous statements come, for the fist time, from a member of the Sadar family. Alseyed Josef Alsadar is considered to be a member of the family with deep faith who is rarely public. It appears he has broken his silence to show the truth before it is to late.

It's a translation, so, it's subject to verification.
