Right wing rhetoric is getting more and more insane as people realize the Center for Medical Progress is a gang of dishonest religious fanatics, and their “sting” videos are blatantly deceptive attempts to make perfectly legal activities seem nefarious and sinister. You can always tell the right wing narrative is falling apart when they start concocting conspiracy theories about their targets.

For example, this ludicrous article at The Federalist by wingnut hack Sean Davis: Planned Parenthood “Hacking” Sure Looks Like a PR Stunt.

I’m not even going to dignify this laughable conspiracy theory with a quote, because of course it isn’t true. (Right wing “journalists” cook up these absurd stories because they know their audience simply won’t care whether it’s true or not.)

As a matter of fact, the hackers gave a statement to the Daily Dot, and released databases they stole from the Planned Parenthood website containing names and email addresses of employees: Anti-Abortion Hackers Attack Planned Parenthood, Release Databases, Employee Data.

One of the hackers, who goes by the pseudonym “E,” told the Daily Dot that the cyberattack was politically motivated.

“Trying to mold an atrocious monstrosity into socially acceptable behaviors is repulsive,” said E. “Obviously what [Planned Parenthood] does is a very ominous practice. It’ll be interesting to see what surfaces when [Planned Parenthood] is stripped naked and exposed to the public.”

The FBI and Justice Department are now investigating the Planned Parenthood website breach. But don’t tell Sean Davis of The Federalist; he’ll just say they’re all in on the “PR stunt” together.
