"KEEP FEAR ALIVE"...Palin's Facebook page hacked (includes freedom-lovin' screen shot)
Edited on Sat Oct-30-10 10:49 AM by Amerigo Vespucci
Sarah Palin's Facebook page hacked.
From the Daily Beast:

The vertical message that ran down the left side on Glenn Beck's Facebook page the night of October 14 read clear as that evening's sky: "K-E-E-P F-E-A-R A-L-I-V-E." It was a reference to Stephen Colbert’s March to Keep Fear Alive, a gathering organized in faux-competition with this weekend’s Rally to Restore Sanity, headlined by Jon Stewart.

Minutes after the first message appeared, the same letters, in the same order, began turning up on the fan pages of FOX News', Sarah Palin, and hilariously, Justin Bieber. Each letter was displayed in the space where a profile picture would normally be, next to a posted comment. As each Facebook user posted their comments in the right order, the message came to life.

Seeing the unauthorized messages pop up on their feeds, the page administrators began furiously scrubbing the pages. Palin's message lasted almost an hour. Beck's was gone in just one minute.

You know I am not usually a fan of sabotage or hacking people's webpages, but I have to admit THAT is pretty funny! I think it is especially funny that the professionals working on Beck's page handled the problem in minutes, where as Palin's bunch of amateurs took the better part of an hour.

3. I can't tell if the comments on that page
are serious, or they're the hacker's jokes. If they're real -- scary.

2. That's not a hack, it's just posting on FB.
The word hack has been hacked.

7. You're right, that one snuck right by me
I posted the headline as I found it, but yeah...posting "in order" on Facebook isn't hacking, it's posting. But it's nowhere near as dramatic if it's called what it is. DAMNED Liberal Media!

:toast:

4. So Justin Bieber would keep us safer during a terrorist attack?
Lucky Canada, he's all theirs.
