60Minutes' twitter account was hacked.

@60Minutes: The American people must stop their government, before the whole world is destroyed

For about an hour. It has now been suspended.

CBS News ‏@CBSNews now
RT @CBSMatt: Update: We've suspended the 60 Minutes account while we investigate with Twitter.

Bravo to who ever pulled this off. This sorta like V hijacking the TV station in V for Vendetta. \o/

Amash retweeted one! Not from his congressional account:

Justin Amash ‏@justinamash now
Wha? “@60Minutes: Your duty is to protect your nation from the parasites that have taken your government”

Sounds about right. Those folks have never heard a conspiracy theory they didn't believe.

Sounds like an outfit calling itself the "Syrian Cyber Army" has claimed responsibility for breaking into the account:

I have no idea who it was, but it was hilarious.

Why would you applaud someone hijacking the virtual property of another? Identity theft is not an acceptable form of activism. And the fact that most of what they posted were discredited conspiracy theories isn't laudable either.

You must be one of those people who think the revolution is going to be won by getting 51% of the vote. I'll see you in 2030 when you're still saying: "There's always 2034!"

I hope people saved off the pictures. The twitter links are dead now. This is awesome.

In a perfect world, I would agree.

But isn't the question, "Is it a proper use of humor?"

They're taking our property and purchasing power every day.

Grow a pair.

This was posted over in the comments at ZeroHedge, its about the agents/contractors in the pic tweeted above.
I know i know its Alex Jones, but these guys just scream "we are up to no good"

These pictures of these guys from Craft International are all over the place. Doesn't matter if the tweets were shut down; I'm guessing there are tens of thousands of people at the very least, who have already saved a lot of this stuff.

I applaud whoever did this act of peaceful resistance. Ghandi and Martin Luther King would probably be proud of them.
