Indiana official’s father blames hacker for posts

INDIANAPOLIS –

The father of Indiana Secretary of State Charlie White is blaming a computer hacker for anti-Semitic comments posted on his Facebook page targeting a judge who ruled that White should be removed from office.

Darrell White tells The Indianapolis Star that he didn’t post the comments critical of Marion County Judge Louis Rosenberg, who is Jewish. White contacted Westfield police and blames the postings on someone who is trying to hurt the White family.

The posts appeared on Darrell White’s Facebook page and in online comments to an Indianapolis Star story about Rosenberg’s ruling on Thursday that Charlie White should be removed for being wrongly registered to vote from his ex-wife’s address while he was campaigning for the office in 2010.

Darrell White’s entire Facebook page was deleted Friday.
