Anonymous used to be evil now they can just be described as "Chaotic Neutral" I mean they used to attack innocent people and now all they do is attack internet camwhores and morons.

Epilepsy Foundation forum invasion
On March 28, 2008, Wired News reported that "Internet griefers"?a makeshift term for people whose only interest are in harassing others[47]?assaulted an epilepsy support forum run by the Epilepsy Foundation of America.[48] JavaScript code and flashing computer animations were posted with the intention of triggering migraine headaches and seizures in photosensitive and pattern-sensitive epileptics.[48] According to Wired News, circumstantial evidence suggested that the attack was perpetrated by Anonymous users, with the initial attack posts on the epilepsy forum blaming eBaum's World. Members of the epilepsy forum claimed they had found a thread in which the attack was being planned at 7chan.org, an imageboard that has been described as a stronghold for Anonymous. The thread, like all old threads eventually do on these types of imageboards, has since cycled to deletion.[48]

RealTechNews[unreliable source?] reported that the forum at the United Kingdom?based National Society for Epilepsy was also subjected to an identical attack. It stated that "apparent members of Anonymous" had denied responsibility for both attacks and posted that it had been the Church of Scientology who carried them out.[49] News.com.au reported that the administrators of 7chan.org had posted an open letter claiming that the attacks had been carried out by the Church of Scientology "to ruin the public opinion of Anonymous, to lessen the effect of the lawful protests against their virulent organization" under the Church's fair game policy.[47] The Tech Herald[unreliable source?] reported that when the attack began, posts referenced multiple groups, including Anonymous. The report attributes the attack to a group named "The Internet Hate Machine" (a reference to the KTTV Fox 11 news report), who claim to be part of Anonymous, but are not the same faction that are involved in the campaign against Scientology.[50]

Some Anonymous participants of Project Chanology suggest that the perpetrators are internet users who merely remained anonymous in the literal sense, and thus had no affiliation with the larger anti-Scientology efforts attributed to Anonymous.[50] During an interview with CNN, Scientologist Tommy Davis accused Anonymous of hacking into the Epilepsy Foundation website to make it display imagery intended to cause epileptic seizures. Interviewer John Roberts contended the FBI said that it "found nothing to connect this group Anonymous (with these actions)", and that it also has "no reason to believe that these charges will be leveled against this group".[51] The response was that the matter was on the hands of local law enforcement and that there were ongoing investigations.[51]

Anonymous has no organization or leadership or anything, any of them can do what they want and much of it is retarded because its not like they all need to be on board for it.
There are also two Anonymous group: Those who run Project Chanology and are semi-respected, and the splinter group that just do things "for the lulz" as they say.
As for the epilepsy thing, as there is no proof I am inclined to believe it is the Scientologists. When Anonymous does something, you KNOW that it's them because that's where the fun lies for them. And notice how its the Scientologists going for the aid of an Epilepsy Foundation for some odd reason.

From wiki here are things that are more of Anonymous' type of thing:
1. No Cussing Club

In January 2009 members of Anonymous targeted California teen McKay Hatch who runs the No Cussing Club, a website against profanity.[54][55] As Hatch's home address phone number, and other personal information were leaked online, his family has received much hate mail, obscene phone calls, and bogus pizza and pornography deliveries.[56]
]

2. YouTube porn day

On May 20, 2009, members of Anonymous uploaded numerous pornographic videos onto YouTube.[57] Many of these videos were disguised as children's videos or family friendly videos with tags such as "jonas brothers".[57] YouTube has since removed all videos uploaded. The BBC contacted one of the uploaders who stated that it was a '4chan raid' organised due to the removal of music videos from YouTube.[58] BBC News reported that one victim posted a comment saying: "I'm 12 years old and what is this?"[58] which went on to become an internet meme.
Operation Titstorm

3. Main article: Operation Titstorm

Occurred from 8am, February 10, 2010 as a protest against the Australian Government over the forthcoming internet filtering legislation and the perceived censorship in pornography of small-breasted women (who are thought to be under age) and female ejaculation. The protest consisted of a distributed denial-of-service attack (DDoS) on Australian Government websites. The Australian anti-censorship groups complained that the attack only hurts their cause, and Australian government members dismissed the attack and said that they would just restore the service when the attack finished.[59][60] Analysis of the attacks cited their peak bandwidth at under 17Mbit, a figure considered small when compared with other DDoS attacks.[61]

I will always be amazed how the most utterly reprehensible creatures and entities will be allowed endless berth when they are compared to anyone or anything that dares to question the policies of the Obama administration.

What I'd like is if people to research things before they open their mouth and simply regurgitate Jon Stewart in my face. I do respect dissenting opinion if it's well presented.
Welcome to how Liberals felt during the Bush years(minus the Stewart).

What is a well presented argument in your opinion? Is it your arguments? The ones where you constantly compare other people's speech to throwing up?

BTW many repeat Stewart because they trust him, maybe they shouldn't but I personally wouldn't trust any news source in the US to report on the US or it's politics, which reduces the potential research material to Canadian news and what other countries may have heard being shouted from across an ocean.
People trusted Walter Cronkite because he told you the news. Jon Stewart is simply a mouthpiece for Viacom, spinning the news as they tell him to spin it. That hardly makes the man trustworthy, as I see it. Of course it would be simply wrong of me to say he's the only person that does this. In fact every facet of the media, liberal and conservative, does this. It's difficult to find people who tell you the whole truth and not care if it's the truth you want to hear.

After all, the truth isn't profitable.
Yet every time I've asked anyone to refute one of The Daily Show's generally well-researched arguments, all I get is more nonsensical name-calling and demands that "we," whoever that is, need to "think for ourselves" and "not listen to the mainstream media." You've just done it here. And you're offering up the good ol' logical fallacies by the shovelful. I'm really starting to get pissed off every time someone spits out the "Now, I don't believe everything <O'Reilly/Limbaugh/Hannity/CunCoulter> says, but they're better than them Jon Daily Show communists" bullshit.

I always like to note that Stewart has videos, full-length, in-context, to back him up, whenever a talking-head on Fox decides to spew nonsense. CNN and MSNBC either don't have the staff or the balls to actually call news orgs and our government out when they lie. And, unlike Fox and CNN, TDS calls foul on *everyone*.

The other reason I trust The Daily Show more than any other news programme? When Stewart has a guest on, he doesn't *SCREAM* at them. Everyone is polite, they have civil discourse, and then part ways.

"No taxation with or without representation" just doesn't have the same ring to it, y'know?

Well, let's not forget that this is a group naming itself after the "Boston Tea Party" and what was an act of politically motivated civil disobeidience. It's not surprising that they admire Anonymous and it's tactics to an extent.

Otherwise, I'll refrain from commenting. I tend to go far more Republican than Democrat when it comes to politics as many people know, and represent a minority here. I won't comment on Glen Beck, but I will say that I am hardly a fan of Barack Obama even if I don't go in for some of the crazier conspiricy theories, he's done enough to annoy me where you don't even need any outlandish accusations as far as I'm concerned (and no, this isn't the time or place for a rant about him, I'm sure it will come up again in other threads at some point). The "Tea Party" is a mixed bag like many groups cut from the same cloth, I agree with them on some things, disagree with them on others.

True, but does that mean that there is a political party in America, or at least Oregon called the tea party? because that sounds strange, even for the name of a political party.

Why would a conservative political party want a slogan including the phrase "we do not forgive"? It doesn't sound like something that would attract new voters, which is ultimately what they want from the event.

When did political parties ever show intelligence or logic?

Not really, I view most conservative politicians as slime bags. Hell, I've been at several conservative parties in Canada (I've even met the old finance minister for instance) thanks to some well connected friends of mine and that really helped cement my views that they basically just want to be rich at any cost. If that meant resorting to anon like tactics to flame competition, I have no doubt they would do it.

So....apparently the Tea Party will now use spam to get what it wants. Why does it seem like this would be MORE effective than current political tactics.

Any organization dedicated to being so childish and stupid gets no respect in my opinion. I understand that they are a vast group of people supposedly fighting injustice etc. on the internet, but I really don't like their methods. As said it's dickish and I don't like the way they use this fear of account hacking anyone who messes with them. Reminds me too much of bullies I grew up with.

As for Scientology, I don't understand how they have fought it. I mean do they educate people in the church on it's activities or offer alternatives? I'm genuinely interested as I can't imagine that everyone in it is as assholish as the guys I've heard about.
Okay first, they are NOT an ORGANISATION!
There is NOTHING remotely organized about them.
They set a goal that seems to stop them or innocent people from getting lulz, set a date and rape them in any way they can archieve.
You might not like their methods, but they don´t care...and you can´t stop them because if you take down ALL of anonymous right now, their would be another 1000 by tomorrow doing the same thing...
You also can´t blame them for their methods, as the INDIVIDUALS do it...there is noone signing a paper that sais "This is how we do it." but simply sais "Raid this, then!" and it´s set.
You don´t respect them? Fine, they don´t need respect, as they are everyone and noone.
And since most seem to be Computer wizzes that know their hacking, they also use hacking.
They even cut off government sites in...I think it was Australia because of their voilent games ban.

On the Scientology thing, the fact that they are not a valid church but a sect and that they rip people off their money are enough reasons for Anonymous to attack...also Scientology answered with lawyers and threats on their own, which vaporized since there is noone to sue...
And they organized WORLD WIDE DEMONSTRATIONS ON EXACTLY THE SAME TIME AND DATE infront of every Scientology presence that matters...project Chanology...
