One thing you didn’t know: While a teenager, O’Rourke acknowledged in an exclusive interview, he belonged to the oldest group of computer hackers in U.S. history.
The hugely influential Cult of the Dead Cow, jokingly named after an abandoned Texas slaughterhouse, is notorious for releasing tools that allowed ordinary people to hack computers running Microsoft’s Windows. It’s also known for inventing the word “hacktivism” to describe human-rights-driven security work.
Members of the group have protected O’Rourke’s secret for decades, reluctant to compromise his political viability. Now, in a series of interviews, CDC members have acknowledged O’Rourke as one of their own. In all, more than a dozen members of the group agreed to be named for the first time in a book about the hacking group by this reporter that is scheduled to be published in June by Public Affairs.

Beto gave an interview for the book himself. This isn’t a scandal, it wasn’t a super secret.

Maybe I should've included his writings about hitting children with his car and running over their bodies. Once people find out how weird he really is, there are lots of votes he won't get!!!

He was 16 at the time, what a joke. If you have to go back to what kids wrote as teenagers to find a smear, you’re reaching pretty hard.

When I was 16, I didn't write creepy stuff...….It's when you are developing. Who knows what evil lurks in him now ??!!!
Did they have to go back that far because he hid his college papers like Obama did? Just curious.
