Sarah Palin Fans Hack Crivella West to Tweet Palin Propaganda
more from Jason Easley and Sarah Jones
Sarah Palin supporters have compromised Crivella West’s Twitter account, and have been using it to post pro-Palin anti-Obama propaganda.
Here is the Crivella West twitter stream today:

PoliticusUSA contacted Crivella West asking them/potentially warning them about their Twitter account. They replied that didn’t know about the biased tweets; it wasn’t them, and they were checking it out. Since then, MSNBC picked up the PoliticusUSA story and added this statement from Crivella West’s CEO, Art Crivella, “It appears that there is a ‘hole’ in one of the applications (we think Facebook) that links to Twitter. We’ve disabled them and mopped up the bile and changed all the passwords.” Crivella further told MSNBC, “It appears that in this case ‘hacking’ means sending out spam tweets pretending to be us. I think real hackers might be offended.”
Yeah, that sounds like the Palin fans we all know. Here is what the Crivella West twitter stream looked like on June 10, before it was hijacked:
It looks like some Palin supporters, you know the same people who wanted the teenager who hacked Sarah Palin’s email account in 2008 locked up for life, don’t understand the meaning of the word hypocrite.
Anyone who read the Crivella West twitter stream could clearly see there was something odd about it. With the sudden pro-Palin shift in tweets, it was easy to see that this wasn’t on the up and up. To put it mildly, this account sure looks like it was compromised.
Palin and her Conservatives for Palin supporters are known for rigging online polls. Sarah Jones wrote about the Palin fans rigging of a US Election News.org poll,
First USEN.org ran into the Palin fans from Team Sarah and had to pull the poll altogether after it was freeped. Then Sunday, in a poll entitled, “As 2012 GOP Respond, Who Benefits Most From Huckabee’s Decision Not To Run?” poll poster Jillian Curtin pulled Palin’s name altogether after the poll was freedped for Palin by Conservatives for Palin, with Ms Curtin explaining that they were trying to get general population results, not Palin fan results.
This poll is hardly the Palinistas first go around with freeping polls. They did it for Bristol in Dancing with the Stars to such a degree that the show had to redo their voting system. Team Sarah and C4P apparently operate under the same delusion that if they repeat the lie often enough, it will be true. They also fail to grasp that this sort of behavior is frowned upon by Americans – you know, those people who vote in elections for reals.
Michael Isikoff was on MSNBC’s The Last Word on Friday discussing the email from Sarah Palin herself that confirmed her interest in managing her image and rigging polls.

Hacking and hijacking would seem to be a step up from the usual Sarah Palin terror cell modus operandi.
When reality does Sarah Palin’s fans wrong they respond by changing it, or in this case compromising a Twitter account to get revenge.
If you happen to be on Twitter and see a lot of pro-Palin Tweets coming from Crivella West, don’t be fooled. It’s not coming from them. It’s just more propaganda being spread by her devoted cult in order to protect their Messiah.
h/t CrystalWolf and Syrin for spotting the Crivella Twitter hacking and alerting us.

simply pathetic..doesn’t the grifter understand this isn’t a good thing for her “image’ or what’s left of it?? These trailer trash goofballs that lose their minds over her are a very odd bunch. Half of them probably didn’t finish the 5th grade.

These trailer trash goofballs are clearly able to manipulate computer systems to the thing’s [WGE] advantage. Let’s all hope they’re not working on manipulating the Diebold voting machines.

If you REALLY KNEW the truth about Acorn, and Moveon.org, Kevin, you wouldn’t have said that. You are clearly a Lobotofoxed person vomiting lying talking points that yhe far right just hopes and prays you don’t question, which you won’t.

I am a couple of others saw this last night. We thought it VERY odd especially since on Crivella’s website it says:
“Shining Light into a Dark Corner. Crivella West’s expertise in discovery practice helps corporate counsel and trial attorneys set the highest standards for best practices and procedures. Early decisions and negotiations are the solid foundations of lengthy, complex litigations. Failure to make the proper strategic choices at the outset can create years of obstacles in building a successful case. Crivella West recognizes that ESI discovery is not a side issue for technology consultants and vendors, but is instead a basic component of discovery practice in the 21st century. “
Shinning light into dark corners, doesn’t quite sound like the c4p aka “Peezoo” to me.
I hope they sue Sarahpac, Sarah Palin, and c4p for this.
I had also emailed them last night. Glad you got a hold of them Sarah…as far as I could discern they don’t even HAVE a TWITTER account! So this is a palinbot sockpuppet acct.
Also several others have notified Twitter of the fraud. Last night in fact.

I’m getting the usually moronic replies: Bet you didn’t care when (Whaaaaaaa) sarah’s acct was hacked! Then I have to remind all the morons out there how she herself bragged (until she hung the poor kid by his ballz out to dry) that she hacked Randy Ruedrich’s computer!!
Also,too, her kids have done much more serious offenses than guessing (something that was available on Wiki) like vandalism (Track & Willow) and have gotten off scott free b/c of mama grisley!
Sarah Jones
Jun. 12th, 2011 at 7:09 pm
That kid went to jail. Are they admitting that they should go to jail too? Finally, we agree on something:-) Also, she was going against the law by using a private account to do state business. hard to feel sorry for someone who is trying to get around the law when it backfires on them.

It was exactly this kind of organized tyranny and the attack of violent trolls the other day that changed my terminology for her from Conversation Peach and Queen Polly Esther to Shitler, and hereinafter to refer to her mindlessly criminal minions as Brown Shits.

This is what people in Wasilla have been saying for 15 years. Very scary when you look under the hood. Lots of people just laugh – but it’s no laughing matter.

In the published emails when they are discussing stuffing the online polls, someone on staff declares, “Support is pouring in!” Do you suppose they think their manipulation actually changes anything? The whole “perception is reality” thing goes both ways.
Sarah Jones
Jun. 12th, 2011 at 7:03 pm
Yes, they do- and Palin used to say things about how the people (cite such and such poll) support what she’s doing…so you can see the danger in doing such things.

I don’t get it. Why hack into Crivella West’s Twitter account? They have like 30 followers. Who would see the garbage the Palin-bots post? Am I missing something?
Sarah Jones
Jun. 12th, 2011 at 7:01 pm
Whoever made it used their logo, bio, etc and then used it to tweet propaganda about Palin’s emails. The twitter button on their website even takes you to this account. I don’t know what happened to their real account. This account is being followed by Tennessee for Palin, for example. Not your normal Crivella followers.

I am afraid to ask this, but who in the heck is Crivella West?.
Other than that, this doesnt surprise me at all.

They are a site that compiles data, so they have the Palin emails uploaded for free for anyone to read – which is why they were targeted.

I think the point is that it isn’t CrivellaWest’s account. It is an impersonation account, contrary to twitter’s terms of service, so will likely be easily shut down by the real company.

Maybe some of the more tech savy bloggers could turn the tables on the Paylindroids. Hack their sites. Not only are these syncophants untethered from reality, they have no shame or self-awareness.

Actually, though that would doubtless be instructive, it would really (hypothetically) be far moreso if someone really top flight were to hack into the CNP.

Sarah Palin and her followers are a class act all by themselves, absolutely disgusting. I can no longer look at Sarah Palin’s picture it gives me the creeps. I don’t know what it is. I do not get that reaction when I see Bachman’s picture even though she is a bit off her rockers as well, but I don’t think she is mean and spiteful.

There is a quality to her that arouses rabid devotion in some and visceral revulsion in others. Having foresworn certain kinds of language, I will venture it is somehow linked to sexuality, but not in any way that is normal. In certain wild canines, the alpha bitch monopolizes all the males, makes them wait on her, and permits no other bitch to mate, but if one does, the alpha takes the pups by force and either eats them or gives them to her own for toys. It’s like that, but it isn’t innocent instinct. It’s premeditation and malice aforethought.

Well, I didn’t find her amusing. I found her ridiculous. I’m no stranger to small-town tyrants, and they’re very dangerous in their little ponds, but they won’t leave their little ponds for places where the water is too salt for their gills and sharks and barracudas are waiting. Somehow, this one did. She is thriving at someone’s behest for as long as she’s useful. When she stops, they’ll cut her props. Until then, her stupidity makes her arrogant, and her arrogance makes her dangerous.

In a way I am still fascinated and disgusted by the Sarah Palin cult. What does it say about us as a nation? I believe your sexual analysis was great and part of it, but as far as politics go, I am still bewildered by her following and attraction to at least one third of the electorate.

She personifies their meanness. To the mean men who pant after her, she represents the bitch queen whose acceptance of them validates them as “men among men”. To the (far fewer) female followers, she is their idealized selves: the queen bitch they want to be.

I read an article on alternet a couple years back that sought to shine some light on why some people vote against their own best interests and are attracted to politicians like Palin. The author concluded that these are mostly low information/poorly educated voters who look to others to tell them what to think/do. As a retired teacher who has seen these types of people in action on the internet, I believe this. The author presented data that indicates that the number of voters in these categories is likely to increase.
Someone who isn’t involved in the field of public education would really be surprised at the fact that a certain percentage of the student population isn’t interested in receiving a quality education even though it is being offered to them, and they’d be surprised to find that many parents don’t care about their own kids’ education. All of the blame is being placed on the teachers by many conservatives. This is not generally true. Most of the teachers at my former school were very interested in students learning the material, but neither the students nor their parents seemed to take education seriously. The members of the BOE and the principals put so much pressure on the teachers to pass students who didn’t do even one-third of the work they were supposed to do. It’s all about image and meeting the goals of NCLB. Never mind that the students didn’t learn what they were supposed to learn and were unprepared to be successful in college or in their future jobs. GA has a thriving remedial college program that frustrates the hell out of college professors. Most of the teachers where I worked were in favor of really “sticking” it to the students. If they passed, they passed, and if they failed, they failed, but of course the principals, superintendent, and BOE just couldn’t have that. The system from which I retired would allow seniors to participate in graduation exercises who hadn’t passed all parts of the graduation tests to save “face” and make them and their parents “feel” good. This is a travesty and mockery of education if I’ve ever seen these things, and I have.

True Leaders inspire all to be faithful out of respect and admiration. Tyrants have followers who only follow until that one advantageous time the tyrant turns their back. This nasty woman will be done in by one of her own. I hope it’s gruesome.

The Fox ticker hacking was a fraud, it didnt happen. It was photoshopped.
