To be clear, this was not an illegal computer trespass. The bozos known as people "formerly employed by the McCain campaign". Copied NewsVine Founder and CEO Mike Davidson template.
Mr. Davidson had released the template to the public with the request that he be given credit.
Not only did they not give credit, they LINKED IMAGES BACK TO HIS SERVER AND SUCKED UP HIS BANDWIDTH.

Davidson decided to play a small prank on the campaign this morning as retribution. Since he’s in control of some of the images on the site, he replaced one that shows contact information with a statement:

Today I anounce that I have reversed my position and come out in full support of gay mariage...particularly marriage between two passionate females.

Here are before and after pics:

Completly and totally 0\x/3d.

Mike Davidson says:

So, the only thing necessary to effectively commandeer McCain's page with my own messaging was to simply replace my own sample image on my server with a newly created sample on my server. No server but my own was touched and no laws were broken. The immaculate hack.
