MSNBC still pushing the Weiner lewd pictures meme. Developing story.
Edited on Mon Jun-06-11 11:57 AM by The Backlash Cometh
It was the bait before the commercial. 12:50 EST. Anyone know about more pictures floating around the internet?

Breibart said that a woman reached out to him and has claimed to have an on-going relationship with Weiner Said there are graphic photos involved.

Here we go.

10. Hmm. So you're SURE this is "the truth" coming from a known liar like Breitbart?
Doesn't take much for you to get suckered I guess...

11. the report was just on. Breigbarfbag supposedly has more pictures
news says Congressman Weiner had "online consentual relationship" with woman and the woman "reached out" to Breigbarfbag and sent him the "graphic" pictures.

barfbag would not define "graphic"

15. So far, "graphic" seems to mean a picture of himself holding a notecard that says "it's me".
Why this smarmy fuck is still taken seriously is well beyond me.

They intend to keep Weiner distracted putting out endless small fires to keep him from destroying the conservative majority on the Supreme Court.

60. No, this was planned in pretty layers.
The first was exploded as completely false. Come the second. Now you wonder if the first wasn't false.

And now there's a picture without a shirt? Well, the congressman who resigned had a picture without a shirt! It must be the same thing! Weiner must .... you get what next word is supposed to be screeched.

This is very good work. But then, the Kochs can afford the best. So can all their billionaire pals.

Doesn't the CIA have a book on these techniques?

12. Saw both pictures he has posted today
The first is Weiner sitting on a couch with two cats - the second is him holding a note with an arrow pointing up and the word "me" on it.
Both are fully dressed. :)

Such drama!

21. Yes, that is what msnbc reported, but said the creepy guy was releasing
the "least graphic" of the others this afternoon. He would not reveal more about remaining pictures or something.

Said he'd traced released photos to Weiner's blackberry.
and that woman said it was a mutual consensual twitter relationship

so oh brother.

They didn't mention what a creep and liar briebart is, just that they had no confirmation except his word

That's the most ridiculous phrase I've heard all year.

EDIT ADD: I'm not saying that you are ridiculous but if that's the buzz-phrase Breitbart and the fools on the media are touting, oh boy, is it ridiculous.

57. Let's shelve this for now. I've seen the shirtless pics, and they're of him.
Unless Breitbart and the Kochs have a perfect replica of Weiner, it looks bad. If they STOLE the pictures, Weiner should be having a press conference now. He should be shouting from every mountaintop. But he isn't.

It doesn't look good.

29. Weiner sent a pic from his Blackberry titled "Me and the pussys" to a woman using an email addy
Edited on Mon Jun-06-11 12:22 PM by ClarkUSA
... AnthonyWeiner@aol.com. This pic was sent on May 4. It shows Weiner sitting down with his cats sleeping next to him. The recipient, a different woman from the one who was involved in the Twitter pic exchange, contacted Breitbart.

Google: http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=weiner+me+and+the+pussys&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

He also sent a second pic to the same woman on May 5. The second photograph was allegedly posted after the woman asked Weiner to confirm that he was taking photographs as the two spoke online and via email. It shows a close-up of Weiner holding a piece of paper scribbled with the word "Me" with an arrow pointing up at his face as he held it below his face.

There has yet been no denial from Weiner that he sent these photos from his Blackberry via his own email account. He pulled out of the NYC Israel Day Parade yesterday.

31. I kind of expected this.
I knew when he hemmed and hawed over the first pic that more were coming.

It would have been a simple thing at that point to own up to it and say "It's something I send to my wife to let her know I'm thinking of her". Cute, funny, a private matter, no big deal. Problem is he probably wasn't sending it to his wife.

Rule of thumb, If a picture isn't fit to post on your congressional homepage don't take it and certainly don't post, sext or otherwise transmit it to anybody.

good and wholesome for America. I would say what they do is criminal...but it is not and that is disturbing. The M$M is using social engineering to push a dangerous agenda for America.

Wish someone could put a stop to this kind of evil, but evidently it is mainstream to be that way. Pathetic.

for some tidbit to destroy people. And they never face consequences.

What are we suppose to do? Take the reigns of the Justice Department away from them and even the playing field by doing the same thing? Where does this end?

64. Now a third woman has provided 200 sexting exchanges w/Weiner sent from his Facebook account.
Edited on Mon Jun-06-11 01:03 PM by ClarkUSA
Another woman has come forward to RadarOnline.com and Star magazine and provided a sexting exchange with embattled New York Representative Anthony Weiner.

The woman says she has 200 sexually explicit messages from Weiner from a Facebook account the Democratic politician no longer uses.

RadarOnline.com and Star magazine verified that the account where the messages originated does belong to Weiner (see below).

He told the woman he had a "ridiculous bulge" in his shorts and asked if she "wanna see" it -- almost three months before a photo of an erect penis in tight fitting briefs appeared in the pol’s Twitter stream.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x1237560


Her name isn't being made public but according to RadarOnline.com "she is listed as one of Weiner’s friends on his Facebook page."
