SNIP............


Confusion abounded Wednesday morning when comedian Sarah Silverman tweeted an anti-Hillary Clinton message just days after voicing support for the Democratic presidential nominee.

"My Twitter (account) got hacked, this is not me," Silverman wrote emphatically in a tweet posted 10 minutes after the anti-Clinton message went to her 8.6 million followers.

Deflection to take the heat off the drumpf/ptuinsky alliance... hack someone who supports Hillary and claim to be the good guys.

Anyone can say they are Anonymous. This is the problem with groups like Anonymous and Occupy. ANYONE can claim to be them.

The marriage of the RNC and Russian hackers would be an Atwater dream come true. Good old Lee only cared about rat fucking the opposition, he didn't care what it took to get it done.
