Swift Boat Veterans Attacked & Threatened

By RS Politics Posted in — Comments (10) / Email this page » / Leave a comment »

Remember all the faux outrage over Michelle Malkin daring to post a press release, in full, that contained contact information of anti-solider students (yeah, they're anti-war, but they hate the troops too)?

Let's first remember that the students released their own information and Michelle just did not redact what the students themselves published. Now consider what the lefties have done.

The other day, the Navy discovered that information pertaining to a number of veterans was inappropriately and without authorization being displayed on a website. According to Dave Holman, writing at the American Spectator,

Last Saturday morning, HuffPost, Arianna Huffington's year-old online effort, linked to a story regarding the release of Navy personal information. By Saturday afternoon, two registered "trusted" HuffPost commenters posted the names and personal information of more than a dozen Swift Boat veterans. "SatanLivesinUSA" wrote at 2:15 p.m., June 24, "SwiftBoatVets who need some Black Ops done on them. I have some very good ideas I gleaned from 'CIA BOOK of DIRTY TRICKS' Don't get mad, get EVEN." Minutes later, at 2:19 p.m., "YvonneMoorhead" repeatedly pasted SatanLivesinUSA's comments on that page and on another Huffington Post post. Elsewhere, in February, YvonneMoorhead had posted, "F*** em, they died for the greater Isreali [sic] goal of stealing more land by having its proxy America invade Iraq and next Iran. They are not called Masters of Deceit for nothing." Aside from one or two complaints, fellow commenters did not object to the posting of the information or the threats.

Some of these men reported receiving harassing and threatening phone calls over the weekend. At 2:30 a.m., Saturday, June 24, Adrian Lonsdale said he received a call from an apparently drunk man claiming to be another veteran, Van Odell. The caller said, "Our lies are all over the Internet. We are in deep ****."

Dave writes that although the veterans began complaining to the HufPo on Saturday, Arianna and her minion kept the personal information on the HufPo until Tuesday with the Spectator got involved and contacted HufPo.

I guess the right isn't allowed to display public information, but the left is allowed to use confidential information inappropriately obtained to harass military veterans they disagree with -- oh and students should apparently be allowed to threaten and harass soldiers on a whim.

as if you are surprised by this. The rule book is being rewritten by the MSM and this is just the grassroots version; most individuals do not have the resources to damage the entire country so they do what they can to damage other individuals.

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.

The POWs who took part in the TV advert against Kerry are being attacked through the legal system.  More people should be made aware of this. I believe the intent is to cripple these people financially. A terrible, but not unusual, way for the Kerryites to operate.

It is pretty obvious that Kerry is looking to run in 2008 and is now attempting to destroy anyone who can get in his way.

I'll go on record by Platosearwax

as a lefty here and say I condemn Malkin for being a jerk and keeping the information on her site long after she should have.  And I'll also condemn these idiots.  They certainly don't represent me, even though I reside more on their side than yours.

Crime and Punishment by reldim

Well, something about that article isn't quite true......from the sound of things, the information is being used for illegal purposes - specifically harassment of the veterans involved in the HuffPo comments.

Maybe the VA should be looking into holding Arianna and her minions responsible for aiding in that effort by failing to remove the information when notified by affected persons.

Actions have consequences - it's time that we start making sure that liberals understand that by having the hammer fall when they violate the rules.  Failing to discipline them for illegal and improper action is as detrimental as if we gave them gifts for pullin stunts like this.  Either way, they learn that they can continue doing it without consequence.

Once these guys by Aleks311

stepped into the public arena they sacrificed any claim to anonymity. And as the old saying goes, If you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen.

No, I ma not not agreeing with harrassing or ovbscene phone calls, but Iam pointing out thatanyone who makes himself newsworthy has, by that action, lost his privacy and should not expect to keep it,

I have a vague memory by streetwise

of Zsa Zsa, I mean Arianna, resenting people's inquiries into her divorce settlement.

Well, rules are just for the little people, right?
