Russia suspected in cyber attacks on US news outlets

How the fuck is Obama responsible for the computer security of private organizations?

Well obviously there isn't anything to worry about...there was nothing "true" in there, right?  Had they got into something really sensitive thered be "a few" drones overhead dumping hellfire missiles.  

You didn't plan to elaborate at all, on your attribution...did you?  It seems like it was just an excuse to complain...as you're doing now about obamacare.  You know, in this country, you don't actually have to -have- an excuse to complain...right?

How the fuck is Obama responsible for the computer security of private organizations?

A wonderful question...and it was never my impression that the right -wanted- him to be...I mean, that would mean he was a complete fucking despot...right?

I asked you a question: what do you think Obama did wrong that caused this to be possible?

You'll either answer it, or you won't. But in no circumstances will you be able to turn this conversation around so that you can avoid it. You specifically blamed Obama. Now you have to present your facts which presumably support your claim.

You will answer that question, or you won't.

Fuck that. You first. You're the one who dismissed it.

Can't say I blame you, I wouldn't want to support such a stupid assertion myself.

Have a nice day, hopefully your spine returns soon.

Nothing to worry about.

So, if you can quote the part where I said that, you might have easier sledding. Until then you're simply imputing a view on me that I don't share and haven't expressed.

Dishonest much?

We've been the target of espionage throughout our history, and we somehow managed to keep alive and even thrive. I didn't say it's nothing to worry about, but I sure as hell ain't going to melt down over something that has gone on for centuries.

Now, you'll need to explain why you think espionage is the fault of that Evil Obama and his Scary Democrats!

Gotta agree with this.

You don't get it, BM. Everything is Obama's fault. Espionage, the Cold War, chancre sores, the knock in my truck's engine at idle, global warming, cancer, and the cancellation of Seinfeld.

All Obama's fault.

Govermants were always solving their problems with the hands of the peasants. War for the rulers is an excellent way to channel anger of people caused by the fucked up economy and say "Its russians fault. Putin is the cause of all the problems".

I watched this thread for a while now, and I guess Thumpa said it first - everybody does it.

So the outrage is kinda ridiculous and artificial on the side. When someone is suspected of spying, there's always this "how could they" moment. And nevermind everything Snowden pulled into the open kicking and screaming. They all have dirt on their hands and they all know that everybody does their best to snoop out the dirty little secrets.

Today it's web based rather than the classic guys with Trench Coats and Cameras. Every nation having a little bit of ambition employs their own hackers these days. And the certainly don't stop at hacking media websites.

If there were an attack/hack by a government worth getting all bunched up about I'm sure big brother would unleash a cyber blast against the offending country.

I've been practicing my net duck and cover. Faraday box and everything.
