    I just don’t understand why racists can’t, at the very least, own their racism/hatred/bigotry,[insert]-phobia. It makes them not only look hateful, but cowardly and self-conscious, as well.

      Because the internet is a fake place full of make believe where you can snark and spew hatred and bigotry and death threats with absolutely no repercussions and no leakage into real life, except for when that happens and you have to bend over backwards to deny everything.

      They can if they’re anonymously proclaiming it on the internet or behind cloaks and hoods.

    No.

    No they did not. Hackers did not break into your Facebook and post a stupid joke that you found funny.

    The greatest proof of Republicans’ anti-science bent isn’t that they refuse to accept that evolution exists. It’s that they refuse to accept that recording technology exists.

    That is why Donald Trump says things like, “I never said that I raised $6 million,” when, in fact, there is a recording of him saying just that and why this fine exemplar of GOP willful Ludditism said that yes, she posted the joke and now refuses to accept that the recording exists.

    Yes, Muslims, liberals, the media, the gays, climatologists, atheists, and vegetarians piss off Republicans. But none cause such fits of apoplexy as the humble videocassette.

      Hey, nobody ever claimed the left-wing conspiracy was vast. Seriously, though, even if someone DID want to hack-and-troll some version of “the right,” why, for shit’s sake, would ground zero be: Colorado’s Delta County Republican Central Committee? Ooooo.

    So you’re covering this, but not the election fraud in Colorado that’s basically submarined the national GOP’s pick for Senate to run against Michael Bennet?

    Interesting priorities, gang.

    It was ME! I hacked them and posted that awful vitriol. I also hacked Trump to make him say all those awful things. And Ted Cruz to make him so whatever the hell he is. It was ME!

      I’m guessing they hacked her, gave her control back and she kept on posting without noticing... until someone from the media pointed it out. Those darned hackers...always posting one little picture and then moving on...

      They are a sneaky little bunch, aren’t they? And what’s weird is how they target their victims with such bullseye precision! I mean, how could anybody know that a woman with her particular..err....leanings would really get a kick out of 'hey, loogit that black person! They look like a monkey!' jokes?

    Media Matters? Seriously?

    Well, here’s the deal. Either they report the hack to the authorities - a formal report - or it’s bullshit. No middle ground, and local media shouldn’t let them off the hook. If nothing else, they might be able to goad these morons into filing a false police report, or perhaps get them to own up in a fit of desperation

      Accessing an account like this is a violation of the Federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act - and they’ve been willing to prosecute in the past. Clearly if there’s some left-wing conspiracy involving criminal conduct, a report should be filed. If nothing else, they're willing to officially say they were hacked if they're willing to claim it in public.

    Gee, isn’t hacking into someone’s account and posting defamatory material as though you were them against Federal law? I’m pretty sure it is!

    So if the Delta County GOP has accused Media Matters of committing this felony, we can be confident the GOPers can produce some pretty unimpeachable proof thereof. Otherwise Media Matters would have a clear, cut-and-dried libel case against them. Certainly the staff of the Delta County GOP wouldn’t be stupid enough to expose themselves to that.

      Better yet, just find out the IP for that specific post. It’ll at least narrow it down to either A) It was her, or B) It was definitely her, and she deleted 4 others that were much worse.
