Sarah Palin Watch: E-mail Hacked and Family Photos/Voicemail Stolen – David Kernell Indicted and Pleads NOT Guilty
David Kernell, 20, leaves the federal courthouse Wednesday, Oct. 8, 2008 in Knoxville, Tenn. with his attorney Wade Davies, right, after pleading not guilty to hacking the e-mail account of Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.
David Kernell, self-named “Obamacrat,” has plead NOT GUILTY today into hacking into Alaska Governor and GOP Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin’s private e-mail account.
David Kernell, 20, of Knoxville, Tenn. entered the plea in federal court in Knoxville, the same day prosecutors unsealed an indictment charging him with intentionally accessing Palin’s e-mail account without authorization.
Kernell, an economics student at the University of Tennessee, was brought into court wearing handcuffs and shackles on his ankles.
He was released without posting bond, but the court forbade him from owning a computer and limited his Internet use to checking e-mail and doing class work.
Kernell’s father is longtime state Rep. Mike Kernell of Memphis, chairman of Tennessee’s House Government Operations Committee. The lawmaker has said he had nothing to do with the hacking incident.
David Kernell was indicted Tuesday by a federal grand jury in Knoxville and faces a maximum of five years in prison, a $250,000 fine and three years of supervised release. Trial is set for Dec. 16.
If found guilty this LEFT-WING MORON will be a convicted felon and not allowed to vote or hold public office.
Flap hopes he gets the maximum sentence of five years at Club Fed as an example to others who want to frak around with private e-mail accounts.
The Smoking Gun has a copy of the indictment.

The Forbidden SNL Soros/Sandler Skit – Now Edited and Redacted
Herbert and Marion Sandler – People who should be shot
The Forbidden Saturday Nigh Live skit featuring George Soros, Herbert and Marion Sandler and the pols that enabled them has been reposted as per editing and redaction by NBC.
The original SNL skit is here at Pat Dollard’s blog.
Michelle Malkin posted screens shots and a complete transcript here.And, here is the edited skit as reposted at NBC:
So, why was the original skit taken down and censored?
The company line is that the skit “didn’t meet their standards.”A “Saturday Night Live” skit that skewered President Bush, Democrats, homebuyers and subprime lenders for their roles in the mortgage meltdown was removed from the program’s website because it “didn’t meet out standards,” a spokesman for the show said Tuesday. An edited version of the skit will be re-posted online soon, the spokesman said.
The skit, a parody of a C-SPAN news conference, ridiculed subprime borrowers, housing speculators and Herb and Marion Sandler, the real-life couple who built Golden West Financial into a subprime lending powerhouse and sold it to Wachovia before the subprime collapse. At one point in the skit, the Herb Sandler character says he made $24 billion off the subprime boom. Graphics then appear labeling the Sandlers as “People who should be shot.”
“Upon review, we caught certain elements in the sketch that didn’t meet our standards,” a spokesman for the program said in an e-mail message today. “We took it down and made some minor changes, and it will be back online soon.”
The Left dismisses the FLAP as just “sketch comedy” and nothing sinister. Oh Really?
But, there were MORE than minor changes.
In an interview with Gold, the show’s executive producer, Lorne Michaels, said the Sandlers were distraught but had not demanded the changes. He noted the “People who should be shot†line was deleted as was a reference to their “corrupt activities.â€
But a comparison of the two versions shows that actually a little more than that was cut. What also was excised was any mention of the involvement of Massachusetts’ Rep. Frank in the Sandler subprime mess…
In the original skit Sandler addresses Frank, saying, “And thank you Congressman Frank as well as many Republicans for helping block Congressional oversight of our corrupt activities.â€
To which Frank replies enthusiastically, “Not at all!â€
Let’s face it folks, there has been “PRESSURE” placed on NBC to edit or even remove the skit. They have resisted because of the overt censorship of the flap but made changes as a remedy when the lawsuits come. And, the will.
The fact is the Democrats, notably Congressman Barney Frank and their left-wing billionaire friends of George Soros and Herbert/Marion Sandler have been complicit in the financial meltdown which is at hand. The skit offered cynical transparency.
The parties involved did not like it and attempted to quash the speech. But…..the SNL skit had already aired.
Now, all of America knows and there WILL BE repercussions.

Day By Day by Chris Muir October 8, 2008 – Are You Experienced?
O’Brien drew criticism from FactCheck.org on September 8, 2008, for making a false assertion during an interview with a McCain campaign spokesperson, claiming that vice presidential candidate Palin, as the governor in Alaska, had slashed the special education budget by 62%,[12][13] when, in fact, she had increased it.[14][15][16] O’Brien was also criticized for these claims by other sources,[17][18][19][20][21] including the McCain/Palin campaign.[22]O’Brien later made another false claim, which was cited as an example of media bias in CNN, when she polled the 32 ‘persuadable’ voters by asking them to indicate, by a show of hands, who they thought won the vice-presidential debate of 2008. O’Brien called the vote an “overwhelming” victory for Biden, however the actual result was reportedly “11 or 12 for Palin, 12 or 13 for Biden (some people are hard to see)”. [23]
And, the same goes for Campbell Brown of CNN. She was a former co-anchor of NBC’s Weekend Today and the daughter of a former Louisiana Democrat State Senator, Secretary of State and Insurance Commissioner.
NBC and CNN are unabashed left-wing homes for BIASED journalists.
So, what else is new?

The singer shared her political views whilst performing a show in New Jersey as part of her Sticky & Sweet tour.
She told the crowd: "Sarah Palin can't come to my party. Sarah Palin can't come to my show. It's nothing personal,"
And this outburst against the Republican party is not the first for Madge.
On her current tour she used John McCain's image in a video clip alongside scences of destruction, global warming, starving children and Adolf Hitler.

One of the steps that Herbert and Marion Sandler have taken to impress the leftist vision on America was to start something called ProPublica with a $10 million donation, a sum which they promise to replenish annually.
This is an outfit that will engage in investigative journalism and will provide its "findings" to larger media outlets for greater impact at no cost.
American Thinker was among the first outlets to express wariness over ProPublica and the approach it would take, given the ideology of its founding couple. Even Jane Mayer of The New Yorker described the Sandlers as hard-core partisans.
Other publications shared our concern about ProPublica.
Unsurprisingly, though, ProPublica has already shown that agenda-driven journalism is its founding principle. One of its first pieces of "investigative journalism" was an attack on the oil and gas industry for developing the Marcellus Shale, a vast natural gas reservoir located in the Northeastern United States, including Pennsylvan

Neither did Wachovia, apparently. Golden West was built on ARMs and these were what brought about the demise of Wachovia.
Adjustable rate mortgages feature low "teaser" rates that vary. The low rates make them seductive. But the potential for far higher rates makes them dangerous if not toxic. Perhaps some buyers thought the increase in home prices would bail them out: They could sell homes at a profit before the higher rates were triggered. When rates increased and housing prices declined, this was a losing proposition.
These types of mortgages were often sold to unsophisticated buyers and buyers who could not afford more traditional mortgages. Banks and savings and loans have been compelled to make real estate loans to inner-city and distressed communities under the Community Reinvestment Act, signed into law in 1977 by Jimmy Carter and strengthened by Bill Clinton in 1993.

Seems as if the players over at Saturday Night live might read American Thinker. This weekend they ran a skit that mentioned the fall of Wachovia, the finance crisis and the roles of Herb and Marion Sandler and George Soros (who they identified as the owner of the Democratic Party).
On September 29th, American Thinker published this article about the fall of Wachovia Bank and focused on the source of the problems: the bank's 24 billion dollar purchase of Golden West Financial, a California savings and loans chock full of ultra-risky adjustable rate mortgages. The sale netted the couple who long ran the savings and loan-Herb and Marion Sandler-over two billion dollars.
This windfall has enabled them to join with their ally, George Soros, to fund a vast spectrum of left-wing advocacy groups that have empowered the Democratic party and the candidacy of Barack Obama.

Largely ignored in this crisis is the key role played by Herbert and Marion Sandler, founders of Golden West Financial (GDW), one of the largest savings and loans in the nation. Wachovia purchased GDW for $24 billion dollars in 2006. This was one of the worst merger and acquisition deals of all time for the buyer, and remarkably excellent timing on the part of the seller. In essence, Wachovia bought a financial time bomb ticking away, one that exploded this year, bringing down yet another former financial titan and further wrecking Wall Street. [Update: see this commentary from Bllomberg on the role of GDW in the fall of Wachovia.]
