David Kernell story back in the news: Libertarian Republican blog credited
From Eric Dondero:
The David Kernell email hacking of Sarah Palin story is back in the news. Gov. Palin has been called to be a star witness in the case before U.S. District Judge Clifford Shirley. The trial begins in two weeks, and Palin will be called to testify sometime next month.
According to Scripps News service:
Kernell, the son of longtime Democratic Memphis state Rep. Mike Kernell, faces a four-count indictment accusing him of stealing Palin's identity, improperly accessing her personal e-mail account, allowing at least one other person to access it and trying to wipe from his laptop evidence of his alleged crimes. He is alleged to have committed the crimes while attending the University of Tennessee.
You may recall, Libertarian Republican blog was the political website that broke this story wide open in September of 2008. Two Techie blogs first reported on the hacking, and two hours later we picked up the story, and reported on Kernell's political motivations. We were also the very first to alert the Memphis Daily and the (Nashville) Tennessean to the story, where eventually the larger national stories emenated from. Days later, we were successful in linkin Kernell to his father, State Rep. Mike Kernell, and directly to the Tenneseans for Obama campaign.
Needless to say, we had a lot of help. We were assisted by a number of other on-line sleuths on the Right most notable HotAir.com regular commenter "Canadian Cowboy," Tennessee radio talk show host Terry Frank, and David Kittely of Abilene, Texas.
Now that the story is back in the news, a great many websites are once again crediting Libertarian Republican. As one of the stories below mentions, we were able to capture (with the great assistance of David Kittely!), the screen shot of Kernell's link directly to a top official in the Obama campaign, literally hours before the page was scrubbed by Democrat operatives. (Note - the image is forever in LR archives, and cannot be eliminated.)
We've been recently credited by The Cypress Times, A Time for Choosing, and Palin Tribe.
From Palin Twibe:
Terry Frank was all over this at the time and managed to get a lot of screen shots from the G.Gordon Liddy wannabe’s Facebook page. You can read more here
As you read, you will notice commenter after commenter start referencing young David’s Technorati page and the fact that there appears to be more than a tenuous connection between David and Barack Obama’s campaign manager, David Plouffe.
In fact, a quick look though multiple sources will find references to this, and include a link:
http://www.technorati.com/search/%22david+kernell%22?authority=a4&language=en
Unfortunately, either Kernell or Technorati have scrubbed the website, and nothing on our master spy can be found. But, as luck would have it, the folks over at Libertarian Republican captured a screen shot:
Eric Dondero writes this for the website:
In another bizarre twist to the Sarah Palin email hacking story, the prime suspect in the FBI investigation David Kernell of Tennessee, had a video produced by Barack Obama for President Campaign Manager David Plouffe on his Technorati Search Page.
Libertarian Republican blog interviewed Computer Applications Specialist Dave Kittley of Abilene, Texas this evening. Kittley discovered the video link late yesterday, and captured it in a screen shot. (The black pen markings on the screenshot are from Kittley).
Kittley asserts that it is a very strange coincidence that the Plouffe video would show up right on Kernell's Technorati page. One possible explanation according to Kittley: Kernell's name might be in the credits for the production of the Plouffe video.
Plouffe is known to be a big advocate of NetRoots, a gathering of Leftwing Bloggers, formerly known as Yearly Kos, who often engage in on-line mischief against political opponents. Obama produced a personal video to the NetRoots convention which was held in Austin, Texas the weekend of July 16. Kittley told LR that is entirely possible that Kernell might be a member of the NetRoots community.
Kittlery also pointed out to LR that the video, which encourages volunteers to become the "cavalry" of the Obama campaign, has since dissappeared from Kernell's Technorati page. He has the screen shot in his possession, and has graciously made the screenshot from yesterday available to LR and to a limited number of websites covering the Palin email hacking story.
Although there was a lot of effort to scrub things, thanks to the folks at Free Republic, we found the INCREDIBLY boring video of Plouffe rallying the troops. The one referenced on Kernell’s Technorati page...
Of course, we plan to give full coverage to the Kernell trial. Additionally, it goes without saying we stand ready to assist all law enforcement, and investigator's on the case.

Island Movie: Shutter Island
Martin Scorsese is the latest director to take movie goer’s to a private island. And along for the ride is Leonardo DiCaprio who is not stranger to private islands, owning one in Belize himself. Dicaprio plays US Marshal Teddy Daniels who visits a hospital for the criminally insane on remote Shutter Island to investigate a disappeared murderess. It is a complex tale of who is insane and who can be trusted, with Leo riveting as a troubled cop.
The movie is playing in theatres around the world right now.

EPA to Try to Stop Ocean Acidification
This beautiful video about oceans and the threat to them is from NRDC Flix. “This groundbreaking NRDC documentary explores the startling phenomenon of ocean acidification, which may soon challenge marine life on a scale not seen for tens of millions of years.”
The oceans regulate climate and provide most of the oxygen for us to survive, but humans are destroying it with our CO2 emissions. This week, an EPA spokeswoman said the agency “is interested in learning more about how to protect our ocean and coastal waters from acidification.”  That’s good, because the EPA just settled a lawsuit that should lead to greenhouse gas emission reductions using the Clean Water Act. An article quoted below from Climatewire describes the lawsuit and the outcome.  In another updated story later, Climatewire** reported some updates to the story:
U.S. Clean Water Act settlement opening new path to GHG curbs
“U.S. EPA settled a lawsuit yesterday by agreeing to use the Clean Water Act to address ocean acidification, a move that some see as opening a side door to federal curbs on greenhouse gases that scientists link to problems in the marine environment. The settlement with the nonprofit Center for Biological Diversity directly addresses EPA’s failure to require Washington state to list its marine waters as impaired by rising acidity.
I don’t believe that the Obama EPA fought the Center’s lawsuit very hard, because this outcome is probably what they wanted to do anyway. In any case, this settlement gives the EPA another legal backing for regulating greenhouse gas emissions.
Unfortunately, some politicians in Washington have an anti-environmental agenda. We can only hope that all the members of Congress and the governors who seem to not value the environment (and apparently also hate our ability to survive on this planet) will be unsuccessful in their recent attempts to stop the EPA from regulating greehouse gases and protecting clean air and water. Republican politicians are scrambling to beat each other in denouncing the EPA’s attempts to protect us from pollution and global warming.  In addition, Governors of several U.S. states also recently wrote a letter requesting that Congress to stop the EPA from regulating harmful pollution. From the WSJ:
“The governors, led by Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, made their request in a letter to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.), House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) and their Republican counterparts. The letter was also signed by Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, a Republican who has been cited as a possible contender in the 2012 presidential election.”
This request is a shameful act by people who don’t even seem to care if humanity survives climate change. Politicians should be looking for as many ways to keep humanity from harm from global warming as they can, but instead, certain politicians are doing the opposite. In the case of MN governor Tim Pawlenty, this damaging and shameful request to stop the EPA is being done for purely political reasons, as he is attempting, badly, to garner national attention [...]
