It makes us look hypocritical. We are hypocritical. Who is the current administration trying to fool? The world or its citizens? The petty finger pointing needs to stop. The low sophistication of the DNC hack just reinforces this. Besides, if you don't want to be embarrassed then don't do embarrassing things and then sulk when you're exposed.

> don't do embarrassing things and then sulk when you're exposed. Thissss. I'm so sick and tired of the hypocrisy. If there was a "Chinese snowden" who leaked that China was doing the same stuff we where it would start a war. If Russia or China started building military bases through out the world for "democracy" we would loose our shit. Why are we surprised when other world powers follow our example and try to hack the shit out anything they can get their hands on. Can't we be grown ups about this? It's a total double stAndard. We mess with so many elections around the world, and cry foul when someone does it to us. Don't get me wrong, I understand why we do it, and sometimes agree with it. I feel like it stems from almost a prehistoric primitive tribal instinct - I live if my tribe lives, and to do that we have to control the other tribes. By all means continue to dominate other countries, but PLEASE STOP USING THE MORAL SUPERIORITY CARD.

> Besides, if you don't want to be embarrassed then don't do embarrassing things and then sulk when you're exposed. I don't think that is a very good argument. If you were to look through the email of most middle-sized organisations you would be able to find embarrassing things.

  It was far beyond embarrassing, it was at minimum unethical. And if we believe that such exists elsewhere, then we should be calling for more exposure of such vs ignoring it as operating as normal.

  If you deal honestly with people then you don't need to be embarrassed when you're exposed.
