Somebody please tell Sarah Palin that Julian Assange is Australian. Please tell her that freedom of speech does not mean freedom from ridicule for voicing stupid opinions. Lastly, the group that crippled her SarahPAC with a DDoS attack is not affiliated with Wikileaks or Assange, although they do support him.

The website and personal credit card information of former Gov. Sarah Palin were cyber-attacked today by Wikileaks supporters, the 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate tells ABC News in an email.

Hackers in London apparently affiliated with “Operation Payback” – a group of supporters of Julian Assange and Wikileaks – have tried to shut down SarahPac and have disrupted Sarah and Todd Palin’s personal credit card accounts.

“No wonder others are keeping silent about Assange’s antics,” Palin emailed. “This is what happens when you exercise the First Amendment and speak against his sick, un-American espionage efforts.”

It is easy to be brave, Sarah, when you don’t have a clue what you are talking about… and who, by the way, is keeping silent? Talking heads are calling for Assange to be assassinated, a crime of ‘incitement to violence’ or ‘hunted down like Osama bin Laden’, just for sharing the truth.
