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.

SUICIDE IS PAINLESS: HAVING YOUR BEHIND POUNDED IN PRISON IS NOT

Have a nice life thief:

After nearly a month on the run, fugitive former hedge-fund executive Samuel Israel III walked into a small Massachusetts town's police department near the Connecticut border and surrendered on Wednesday, authorities said.

Mr. Israel, who disappearing last month shortly before he was supposed to begin serving a 20-year prison term, turned himself into the Southwick, Mass., police department at 9:15 a.m. EDT Wednesday, an assistant to Southwick Police Chief Mark J. Krynicki said Wednesday.

On June 9, Mr. Israel's sport-utility vehicle was found abandoned on a bridge in Westchester County with the words "suicide is painless" scrawled in the dust on the hood -- about 90 minutes before he was to report to prison in Massachusetts.

Authorities investigated at the time whether he may have jumped from the bridge in a suicide attempt, but they later ruled that out.

Mr. Israel, who hails from a prominent New Orleans family, was charged with misrepresenting the value of Bayou's funds and defrauding clients out of more than $400 million. Mr. Israel pleaded guilty in 2005 along with two other executives and was sentenced in April to 20 years in prison.
