Obama's CyberTerrorists... er, Smear Fighters

from Sugar & Spice

I was reading an article in the newspaper today about the trial of the Missouri woman accused of contributing to the suicide of a 13 year old girl after she and her daughter and an assistant tormented the girl over a period of time. I thought to myself, "damn, it's a good thing I'm not a depressed 13 year old girl, or some folks who visit my blog would find themselves on the wrong side of the law," because the things that have been uttered here at this blog and others to folks who refuse to get in line behind the Obama pied piper parade are pretty amazing and not in a good way.

This MySpace suicide case has been in the news a lot over the past week with the trial going on and I've been keeping track of it if for no other reason than everytime I open the newspaper each day, there's an update.

Earlier, I decided to do a Google search to see if I could find a definition of sorts about the Federal description of Cyber Bullying, when I found this website instantly: www.stopcyberbullying.org. At the very beginning, there is a Flash introduction that defines Cyber Bullying [which, for legal purposes in most states is applied to acts perpetrated by one child or teenager towards another child or teenager] and gives examples. As I watched the presentation, it was shocking to me that nearly every single thing they listed as an example of cyber bullying between children or teenagers is a mirror image of what happens at any blog or site that dares offer negative commentary about Barack Obama. I mean, blood curdling similarities. From the insults, the emailing of viruses and trojan programs, attacking sites to disable them.

The Federal law on the books regarding this abuse between adults calls it Cyberstalking:

"Cyberstalkers target their victims through chat rooms, message boards, discussion forums, and e-mail. Cyberstalking takes many forms such as: threatening or obscene e-mail; spamming (in which a stalker sends a victim a multitude of junk e-mail); live chat harassment or flaming (online verbal abuse); leaving improper messages on message boards or in guest books; sending electronic viruses; sending unsolicited e-mail; tracing another person's computer and Internet activity, and electronic identity theft. "

Be careful out there folks. We are dealing with some sick individuals. I mentioned here some months ago that I have a file in my hotmail [and I've saved copies offline] specifically entitled "Hostile bots" in which I have kept every single email from those who had posted a negative word for me. My own little cyberstalking tracking file.....I surely hope I don't have to use it one day.
