Breitbart smearing Weiner: Accuses relationships with young girls
Conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart appeared on CNN Tuesday where he implied Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) had been engaged in inappropriate relationships with multiple young women.

Breitbart said that Dan Wolfe, the source for a lewd picture that allegedly appeared on Weiner’s Twitter account, had been tracking the congressman.

“I don’t know him that well, he has been monitoring relationships that Congressman Weiner has been having with women, young women, who claimed to have relationships with him,” Breitbart explained. “I’m not saying what type of relationships, but people that @RepWeiner follows. Girls that are quite young — younger than the girl in question here — talk openly about Rep. Weiner, who he follows these girls.”

Following Breitbart’s interview, CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin told host Randi Kaye that he regretted the network allowed Breitbart to make those claims.

And sadly some can't handle the truth.... so they play silly CON games.

105. do you think Breitbart needs to have proof that he has not fucked farm animals, too?
because the rumor I've seen indicates that he has dementia from the syphilis he contacted by fucking farm animals.

he needs to show proof that this isn't true - otherwise - well - would it be an admission of guilt to ignore this claim?

and all the other shit repugs do. disgraceful. and her husband John was Jackass supreme as well. Thankfully Toobin pretty well told them that the circus will move on - Johnny curvy lip seemed to take offence at his colleagues choice of words.

Why was he following this 21 year old woman in the first place? I hope I'm wrong but I don't have a good feeling about this one.

like he was stalking her - thats the tone she made.

I'd trust Wiener over asshole Briebart and anti-journalism any day.

Some people will only follow you if you follow them back.

How many OTHER people is Weiner following?

Looks like he's following 198 people and 49,166 people are following him.

88. That was the point and why I found it a good question
I understand howTwitter works and know that many of these politicians and "stars" only follow people they know in real life or who are equally as famous as them. Who was this woman that he was following her? I could see if he was following thousands of people and she just happened to be one of them.

It's a possibility. I haven't finished watching the whole exchange so the whole thing might inflect my belief in that possibility- but I'm tossing it out there.

So I am sincerely interested in what you mean by "Guilty or innocent, THIS doesn't help".

And since everyone seems to think that him saying nothing means that he is guilty, if he did do it, why not just lie about it to begin with?

66. There may be, but that doesn't mean he is "guilty" of anything.
Personally, I wonder if maybe that was an actual picture of him stored on one of his devices somewhere that was tweeted out by a hacker that gained access. If this is true, Weiner did nothing wrong, but I can see why he would want it to go away.

But do I believe the original story that was spun, especially after the reply by the person that was allegedly messaged? Hell no.

69. I'm sorry, but even people here quote twitter as if it was gospel.
Regardless of what breitbart and his gang of idiots are doing, people here and elsewhere actually believe that if the see it on the internets (or twitter), they think it is true.

:mad:

32. This is an obvious smear against a Representative who is a strong ally of worker's rights.
Wiener must be stopped, obviously. This is the oldest trick in the book.

34. Breitbart is NEVER to be trusted.
He is a liar, an agitator for the far right.

Also, anyone can follow you (and you follow them) on twitter.

44. Weiner's fantastic
because he's so solid on Israel. But do you really think he didn't send that photo? With all the special safeguards on congressional cell phones, there's no way that was hacked.

73. Wham, SPAM, thankyou ma'am. Clearly, it's not the end of the story. You repeating the same few
words over and over will not make it so.

106. A twitter account has no special safeguards.
If you think it's impossible to crack someone's Twitter password, you don't know a whole lot. You signed up for that?

74. I'm not clear on why anyone cares. 21 is of age and it is 2011.
We have real issues, why be distracted by fucking like some eternal private middle school?

There better be some shady influence or the whole matter is pure distraction true, false, or somewhere in between.

84. It is well known that Breitbart has tertiary syphillis
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x1206970
In advanced stage, this disease can cause the sufferer to have neurological deficits which might cause erratic behavior, hallucinations, and telling real big stinky lies.

95. As a long time lurker I have noticed something on these threads
I have started going through these threads on the Weiner incident and have noticed that if I thumb through and only look at the post count, anyone with a post count under 100 is showing great concern that Weiner was guilty of something. I have to wonder....no, I am pretty sure, Breitbart has sent out the troll brigade to hit every website possible to spread his message of concern. It is the old theory of repeating a lie until it becomes true.

99. you mean Andrew Breitbart, who some accuse of having sex with farm animals
might send rat fuckers to a site like DU?

I don't know that any of his websites BigGovernment.com and BigJournalism.com and BigHollywood.com have commented on the accusation by others that he has syphilis from fucking farm animals - maybe they're too busy spreading lies about Weiner because Clarence Thomas is a fucking corrupt and worthless piece of shit who should be impeached.

103. Until I hear a denial
All I can assume is that Breitbart has contracted syphilis, as passed along by several anonymous sources within some sort of administration.

104. I would worry about any smearing by Andrew Breitbart
I wouldn't want him smearing anything on me if the rumor is true that Andrew Breitbart is suffering from dementia brought on by the syphilis he contracted while having sex with farm animals.
