Comments on: Verizon fires employees for accessing Barack Obama’s cell phone records

Speaking of Barack Obama:

Barack Obama is a racial-minority individual, and in his heart and mind he inevitably does not endorse hate crimes committed by George W. Bush.

George W. Bush committed hate crimes of epic proportions and with the stench of terrorism (indicated in my blog).

George W. Bush did in fact commit innumerable hate crimes.

And I do solemnly swear by Almighty God that George W. Bush committed other hate crimes of epic proportions and with the stench of terrorism which I am not at liberty to mention.

Many people know what Bush did.

And many people will know what Bush did—even to the end of the world.

Bush was absolute evil.

Bush is now like a fugitive from justice.

Bush is a psychological prisoner.

Bush has a lot to worry about.

Bush can technically be prosecuted for hate crimes at any time.

In any case, Bush will go down in history in infamy.

I am not sure where I had read it before, but anyway, it is a linguistically excellent statement, and it goes kind of like this: “If only it were possible to ban invention that bottled up memories so they never got stale and faded.” Oh wait—off the top of my head—I think the quotation came from my Lower Merion High School yearbook.

@ Blinky – You really need to go to the doctor and remove whatever you have that has obviously rotted in your butt!!

@ Jerry Marcus – ease up on drinking so much of the Obama koolaid…congressional investigations…are you serious? There are support groups for you son.

@ all of you with the Joe the Plumber concerns (though the guy now has a book and a publicity agent…what a dweeb he is…just a loser)Ohio Job & Family Services director Helen Jones-Kelley, a supporter of President-elect Barack Obama, was suspended after a check of state computers and state e-mail found connections to political fundraising, which is not allowed on state property. (30 Days with out pay) serves her right!

@ MadMike – ease up on them…my goodness

His phone records were full of calls to dudes in Hamas, the PLO, his buddy the bomber Ayers, his racist America hating “minister”, his hired election riggers Acorn, the Clintoon thugs, and other assorted Communist leaning turds.

I’m not surprised that they were fired. Verizon has a “Codes We Work By” that every employee must agree to each year. The company sends out monthly emails to employees regarding security and ethics violations. I knew immediately that they would be fired. Duh

MDC stands for Mobile Data Computer – It’s a stupid Panasonic Toughbook with a sprint aircard and a special written application that connects to the county CAD (Computer Aided Dispatch). It’s not LE specific terminology. Cops were the first to get them, then EMS and then Fire. The Police do more with them. Fire and EMS basically use them for GPS and so we don’t have to clog up the radio with traffic. We go responding, on scene and available without having to call county.

Oh, and the saying goes the Police Academy are for mutts who can’t hack the Fire Academy.

By your imaginative expletives, you sound like a cop. If so, your just jealous you no longer get all the cool shit to yourself. Same Federal grants gets us all the toys too! We get Blackberries now also! No longer just PD.

Do you not understand the concept of sarcasm? I don’t actually run peoples plates, nor do I want to. Forget it. Your too stupid to understand the concept.

Wannabe cop? I spent 12 years in the Marines, I’ve had enough running around with guns getting shot at. Did I mention the fire department PAYS more? Deal with a bunch of drunks or write speeding tickets. No thank you, I think I’ll pass.

@MadMike, so you are a fucktard? The MDC you referenced (i.e. running people) IS law enforcement terminology. But, I can forgive it, since it is coming from some wannabe cop. That is really unfortunate you couldn’t hack it to actually be an officer. What a shame… dumbfuck.

Here’s the thing, CNN blew this story out of proportion, typical of a media giant. There was nowhere that VZW stated that the employees accessed any information from Barack’s account. The only information that has been verified is that the individuals accessed his account. Basically, they searched his name, and it pulled up an archived account. Depending on how old it was, there may not have been even any call record information in the account. That is information that was possibly accessed, because it was possibly there, but the case would not be “closed” if these employees actually accessed his call records, or any other private information. News stations love to put their own spin on stories, and exaggerate them.

They got fired not because they looked at Obama’s records, but simply because they violated company’s policy, unauthorized non-business access to ANY of their customers’ information will get an employee fired, it just got public because it was Obama.

@Witty!: Uhm, asshole. Law Enforcement aren’t the only people to have MDCs. I wasn’t “name dropping” jack. Furthermore, I was being facetious.

Also, I’m not law enforcement. I work with law enforcement, but I make more money and get to ride in a big red truck.

Asshole… Go back to jerking off to “The Shield.” Whacker.

Question in regards to digging up the info on Joe The Plumber… If I remember correctly, the information obtained was public records and anyone with cab find this by going to the county clerk of court website and plug in his name. What is so wrong with that? Its public information. All I have to say is I’m so glad Joe Six Pack was dropped. Made our country look like a bunch of drunk white trash citizens. Maverick!

Hey the email actually,went through. I usually try send articles but Im usually too late.

Anyways, you would think that people would know there going to get caught and that they were going to get fired. I hope lookin at some info was worth losing there job and who knows what else.

@MadMike, what are you? Retarded perhaps? “If I can no longer run hot chicks on my MDC” moron. So what, you have to name drop an MDC? Dumbfuck, why would you advertise the fact you are in law enforcement? FYI, you just make yourself look like an idiot.

@Perspective – the only tool you know about is the one that plugs your ass

@Jerry Marcus – you are a fool. Why would this be an issue for Congress. Barack was a VZW customer and unfortunately some dumbasses that work there took a peak. Hardly an issue for congress

@ Truth – yea your right man thats not funny or cool. I supported Obama but i think all of them even the plumber snoopers should get slapped with a minor charge.

THIS NEEDS TO BE TURNED OVER TO THE SECRET SERVICE AND VERIZON NEEDS TO BE CALL BEFORE CONGRESS FOR A HEARING.

@Perspective
It’s people like you I just wanna smack around a little – try and knock some sense into you.

Just because a few people screw up, doesn’t mean all “Verizon wireless employees are tools.” I happen to be a VZW emp and I resent that comment.

Every company has their idiots, it doesn’t make everyone in the company an idiot.

As for the actual issue here, if I would have been a VZW upper in this instance, I would have just kept it underwraps. Why spill the beans and let the world know you have people like that working for you – other than some stupid way of advertising? Secrectly let those people go and move on…

I think for VZW’s part, this was done for show or to “keep up appearances.”

If they didn’t do anything and make it publicly known, they’d be criticized by those still angry about their parents company willingly giving information on thousands and thousands of customers to the NSA. (Nobody fired those guys, right)

I doubt any harm, if any was actually done. It’s just that this was Obama with the FBI involved so they had to do something.

Too bad the state of Ohio is not as pro-active as Verizon, in firing all the individuals who were involved in mining Samuel “Joe the Plumber” Wurzelbacher’s records, in an attempt to destroy him.

Just goes to show that private corporations (not ALL, but most) take a more hard-line approach to invasions of privacy than governments do.

I supported the “other guy” in this election, but I’m calling for all these now EX-Verizon employees to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Dumbasses. What goes through peoples minds? “Oh, here is a celebrities personal information – I’m gonna look at it!” Personal Information is PROTECTED! If I can no longer run the license plates on my MDC of hot chicks I see pass me on the road, you can’t look at peoples phone records!
