Saturday Massacre: Pelosi, Israel, Wasserman Schultz call for Weiner to resign

[JohnnyLongtorso]

Alternative Theory: Weiner was actually hacked and people cannot believe that perhaps, just this once, a politician is actually telling the truth.

I happened to turn on the TV in the middle of his interview with Rachel Maddow tonight, and one thing really jumped out at me: he can't deny that the picture is of him. So basically a member of the United States Congress is admitting he has taken at least one picture of his dick. I do expect the actual posting of the picture is yet another idiotic hoax that Breitbart has cooked up, but that's really information I did not need to know.

So Breitbart DM'd a porn star and the high school girl also?   The guy is being evasive as all hell and it is amazing how so many of you are giving him the benefit of the doubt.

Maybe if Breitbart didn't have a clear history of deceit I'd have more of an incentive to believe him.

You act as if Weiner hasn't been completely incriminating himself. 

I do like when arrogant people get their comeuppance though. I personally saw him berate a 70+ year old woman who had the temerity to disagree with him at some town hall last year.  It feels good seeing him squirm and try to fall back on: this is all part of some juvenile Weiner joke narrative...

Re-read what I wrote originally. I said that Weiner basically admitted he's taken pictures of his dick. I'm not defending him, I have no interest in defending a boorish fake progressive, but there's no way of telling whether it actually is a picture of his dick, nor is there any way of telling if he actually sent it or not. It's not like Chris Lee, where you could clearly see it was him. His behavior is bizarre and inexplicable, but it's not a smoking gun.

And forgive me if I'm sick of people giving Breitbart the time of day when he's blatantly made up stuff to get attention more than once before.

Breitbart has been associated with conspiracies to frame liberals before so that has to be considered when speculating plausible scenarios.  You were the one who said Weiner's past behavior should be considered.  I don't see why the established lack of credibility of Breitbart, Dan Wolfe and Mike Stack should not also be considered to cast doubt on their version of events.

Established lack of credibility of Andrew BREITBART?  Only in the mind of liberals with an axe to grind.  The "credibility" of Dan Wolfe has been established - unless you think TweetCongress is lying when they have an archive of the same tweet, too.  Dan Wolfe's identity is as irrelevant as yours, hiding behind the fake name "Joementum".  Dan Wolfe has every right to remain anonymous as you or I do.  And Mike Stack isn't even tangentially involved in the tweet story, despite attempts to shame him and others who dare speak out against a politician - just like the left's attempts to smear Joe the Plumber.

Again, Nikki Haley is irrelevant.  Nobody hacked Nikki Haley.  Going to the police would do nothing to stop someone from spreading smears about her.  If Weiner went to the police, Twitter and Tweetdeck would quickly divulge the IP address of the person who allegedly framed him.  The law firm Weiner hired can't subpoena Twitter to release any such information.  So to clear his name, Weiner HAS to go to law enforcement.  That he's not interested in doing so tells me more about who sent the link to the photo than anything else - either Weiner or someone who Weiner authorized to tweet on his behalf.  If a hacker truly did it, the IP address would quickly show it, without any invasion of Weiner's privacy.  So Weiner should welcome an investigation.

You have ZERO proof BREITBART did anything.  In any event, BREITBART hasn't framed anyone.  BREITBART has applied the same type of investigative techniques your liberal friends in the mainstream media have done against conservatives and conservative causes to expose liberal corruption in agencies like ACORN.  I get it - as a liberal, you don't like evil BREITBART!  And BREITBART Derangement Syndrome has replaced Bush Derangement Syndrome among some on the conspiratorial left, which always seems to need a boogeyman.  With your man in the Oval Office, it must be BREITBART and the evil Koch brothers' fault.

Us "gullible" Republicans are largely irrelevant.  Weiner should be trying to persuade his own constituents that he did nothing wrong or at least have the decency not to lie to them about it.  But every time Weiner has opened his mouth, he has removed more and more doubt about who sent the tweet in question.

Man, I hope you get your blood pressure checked regularly.

Please explain how your personal attack on me furthers this discussion at all.

GIGO.

Oh, sweetie, you think you speak for rational people? That's almost adorable.

My money's on Michael Grimm.

[JohnnyLongtorso]

He's not doing the honorable thing and resigning. This goes to show that the GOP is far more honorable when it handles shenanigans of this manner by it's members (ie Soderel and Ensign). I see tea Partier winning this district in 2012.

Larry Craig, paging Larry Craig to the men's bathroom...

Or Vito Fossella, for that matter.

Care to revise that statement?  I was right.

Not really, it doesn't change the fact that you show an irrational level of bilious anger towards anyone who expresses an opinion opposite yours.
