I sure hope nobody got any of our fellow MacNNers' MoveOn.org subscriber info...
Subscribers to MoveOn.org's mailing lists may have found their interest in the anti-Bush political site a matter of public record.

A Web page misconfiguration left dozens of the liberal political group's subscriber pages easily searchable through simple Google queries. Each page included a subscriber's name, e-mail address and the mailing lists to which he or she is subscribed. CNET News.com confirmed that several related searches turned up more than two dozen individual subscriber pages.

"This is extremely disturbing," said one subscriber, when contacted through e-mail. The subscriber asked that his or her name not be used. "I'm not sure if I should be worried or not, but I am," the person said.

The subscriber Web pages linked member's names with interests in various topics, "Distortion of evidence" for one, and, for another, Errol Morris, the director of the documentary "The Fog of War," which won the Oscar for its portrayal of the life of Vietnam era Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara.
Apparently, one of the leaked subscriber list's interest was noted as "3-pronged conspiracy believer".

I hope they fixed it already.
I could take Sean Connery in a fight... I could definitely take him.

why? are you a member?



here's a quote from a typical Move-On liberal;

"I'm not sure if I should be worried or not, but I am," the person said.

When in doubt, WORRY!

That pretty much sums up their mindset.

Nope I never give my email out to mailing lists. That is why I'm probably the only person in the western world who never receives spam.

Just for their sake and the people on the mailing list. If I were on the mailing list I'd be as worried as one is when one pours Coke into a glass that one used earlier today for drinking bottled water. Evian or whatever. Aquafina. Aquarelle.

I took myself off MoveOn's mailing list a few months ago when they were pushing using the movie "The Day After Tomorrow" as a rallying point for global warming protests. I support efforts to curb global warming, but objected to the use of a movie filled with bad science to do it.
