Coleman’s campaign shot themselves in the foot and continue to pull the trigger while blaming “hackers”, democrats, and the usual “liberal” suspects.

And this ninnyhammer actually expects to return to DC?

God help the Republic if he does.

Coleman’s web site was by NO means and in NO fashion “hacked”.

If you leave your wallet in the middle of the road, in front of your house, and someone takes it, steals the money, maxes out the credit cards, and sells the empty wallet on eBay, EVEN THEN you don’t get to call the crime “Breaking and Entering”.

Likewise if someone takes publicly available data from a web site and then does unscrupulous or even illegal things with that data, EVEN THEN you don’t get to call the crime “hacking the site.”

If that were “hacking,” then those of you reading this comment right now would be “hacking” the Minnesota Independent web site. Why? Because you are viewing data that they have made publicly available (articles, images, links, comments, etc.).

Just like Coleman’s site foolishly and possibly illegally did with their donor data.

Does Norm Coleman realize how silly he looks outside Minnesota? I don’t follow too closely day to day affairs, but data bases are prime for breaches all the time. Your State needs a Senator. Hope it happens soon.
