Breitbart 's Weiner story getting very, very strange.
@patriotusa76 (the guy who originally fed them the Weiner pic) has gone silent and won't respond to Breitbart. I'm sensing a bit of fear in the Breitbart camp as they are starting to question who this guy is and whether he's telling the truth. Breitbart may be realizing he's got a big problem on his hands:

Keep digging long enough, you'll probably run into Roger Stone, too.

27. Lol, knowing Stone's proclivities for swinging, it could be his picture.

3. patriotusa76 is likely a paid, occult Republicon Black-Ops SuckerPuppet
Edited on Thu Jun-02-11 08:47 AM by SpiralHawk
Doing the darkside occult lie-based bidding of the Republicon Billionare Crony Cabal (R).

I'd bet a sack of doughnuts on it.

4. Has anyone made the suggestion that patriotusa76 is Breitbart?
I have several Twitter accounts and they don't all bare my real name. Just wondering if anyone thought of this possibility yet.

That could well be it...There just aren't that many other people on the planet with such stanky, degenerate Republicon Family Cesspool Values.

6. Someone will eventually figure out who this guy is and who he's
working for. I'm looking forward to it.

7. the irony is that if the picture was in any way sourced from Weiner's account, then it's criminal
like if they hacked into his account and took an innocuous photo and altered it into what everyone saw, it gets messy for Weiner to explain, except perhaps by saying, "photoshop, photoshop, photoshop"...but it means there's criminal activity involved instead of just a malicious prank that may not cross the same threshold.

29. An interesting timeline.
Weiners's been married for only a year. The Brett Favre stuff came out around the same time he would have been dating her. This pic strikes me as a JOKE perhaps for HER amusement.

The stupid thing is that he did not delete it..

He's embarrassed to say.."look it was a stupid joke between me and my wife" and was never meant to be "out there" for everybody.. Call me foolish for not deleting it, but who of us has not done a silly thing or two when we were crazy in love".. that would have ended it....and it could have been a teaching moment for people who "save" pictures they should not..

10. I don't think he's concerned about the truth. I do believe he
may be concerned that a GOP dirty trickster is about to be exposed with his help.

11. the hand-wringing about Weiner's "problem" make me laugh
anyone who wants to get his or her panties in a twist over someone having a PRIVATE photo (that was not shared with this female - this she has already confirmed) has some real issues - about non-issues.

assuming it was a private photo - I don't know. or if it was a hacked photo. in either case, he did not share this photo with the female.

Dana Bash was an embarrassment to media when she asked Weiner about the many young females he is associated with via twitter. give me a freaking break.

true - old gassy republican scolds are not likely to be part of Weiner's political fans or circuit. quelle surprise!

this moment, however, is an object lesson in how our media is broken, our politics full of worthless nothing moments while important issues aren't "sexy" enough to discuss with the American people.

in a world with about a decade of fb, cell phones - all the gadgets of modern life - most people realize that such a picture is a yawn.

13. I think Breitbart, etc. was doing this b/c Weiner has been on the Thomas issue
but, again, I don't know.

I do find the timing somewhat conveeeeeenient, to say the least.

19. It is if you're trying to create a distraction and damage someone's credibility
Although I have no direct knowledge of those things, and I'm sure the timing of this nontroversy is totally coincidental and has nothign whatsoever to do with anything Rep. Weiner might be doing in regards to the obvious conflict of interest Justice Slappy Thomas has on any case having to do with health care reform.

20. Rep. Weiner certainly has been a thorn in certain sides of late. Don't see this stopping him.

28. I get it now
Most of the posters spending their time on the 10+ threads on this "news," story are women.

This is the first of such threads about this that I opened.

Probably got slow on the Palin threads and had to stimulate the short attention span for things that really matter.

You only have so many minutes in your life.

Sheeesh

Don't worry, I won't open another, now that I see the motivations.
