1. OMG!!!!!

This POS provocateur has REALLY stepped in it this time! And, most of us already know that CNN really stands for Certainly NOT News.

14. Send CNN an email

My comment:
"I am disgusted that CNN would allow Andrew Breitbart on air to smear Rep. Anthony Weiner's Twitter account hack through baseless allegations and innuendo. CNN's own Senior Legal Analyst Jeffrey Tubin later commented on air: "What Andrew Breitbart was insinuating about him (Weiner) with young girls and stuff was outrageous, and frankly it's to bad he got to say that stuff on CNN". I couldn't agree more. Mr. Breitbart has a long and public history of this type of political character assassination and it has no place on CNN."

I am so sick of the Children's News Network.

21. Cnn has accomplished their goal...they are the mini fox.

2. Furthermore,

Alex sounds as though she's on the same level as the CNN folks who thought it newsworthy to give POS Breitbart a forum on which to spew his toxic lies.

4. She is disgusting

You can't take a fabricated event and attempt to make a story out of it.

Like, 'So Congressman, when did you stop beating your wife?'

I found her desire for an answer akin to some type of inquisition. News Flash! Nobody owes the media anything! Especially when the basis is a deception!

[aquart]

6. Yes, that was my analysis of her.

Why isn't she working for FOX? She has the right amount of disregard for truth.

[Enthusiast]

9. She is working for the

other team. She has the stench of the right wing and Fox News.

[matt819]

15. No question

She's a paid hack for the RW. There can be no other excuse for her comments.

11. Here here

Chris looked a bit taken aback that she was trying to defend the position that it's news...well....because the news, and dimbart, said it is.
I want to see Weiners lawyers tear him apart, the fakery has been well documented at DailyKos.

3. Frankly, I hope they find a way to

link this directly to Breitbart and hang him with it... Major law suit, and put him out of business.

5. this woman from Huffington Post is full of crap...

Why would Weiner send a picture of his private parts on a public forum for anyone in the world to see? I had to dig to find a story that he had invited all his followers on Twitter to be followed in turn by him, which is how he started following the woman, along with tons of other people. She says he's bringing this on himself by not "putting a nail" in the question -- basically that's what they said about Obama's birth certificate. Ridiculous.

[Jack Rabbit]

7. I wish she were full of crap

There are a couple of threads in GD authored by DUers who seem to have fallen for it.

For what it's worth, I am assuming there is nothing to this unless and until a reliable source says that maybe there's something to it. So far, all we have is Andrew Breitbart following his usual MO. He's already distancing himself from his own story by naming his source and telling us that this source says such and such. This just allows him to smear Weiner and deny he was the source of the story later.

I'll join all others who hope that Breitbart gets his ass caught in a wringer this time and big time.

[Enthusiast]

8. She is working for the 'other team'.

[JackInGreen]

12. I would watch those folks carefully

I can't believe that anyone that 'falls' for this is either rational, has no bias, or isn't a plant.

[spicegal]

10. You can be sure the righties will go after Anthony Weiner.

It's what they do to Democrats who loudly speak their minds and refuse to tolerate with the right wing BS.

[trumad]

13. What the hell

she was worse than Dana Bash.

[garthranzz]

16. Had to stop after a minute and a half - This HAS to be actionable

Here's what I suggest - let's start a smear campaign against Breitbart, McConnell, Ryan - all of them - get it out there - the more outrageous the better. Then, when challenged, say - this is as true as...

I am sick about this. CNN is as guilty as Breitbart.

Every honest conservative should disown that crap.

[AlbertCat]

17. I hear Alex Wagner....

... bought some ben wah balls on an internet site. Some guy, who follows her career, says she went to a sex toys site and bought several sets of ben wah balls.

What if Chris had just nonchalantly brought that up on the air? and then asked "Do you use masturbation enhancers, Alex? Answer the question!"

Of course that would be even more devastating because Chris does not have a HISTORY OF FAKING SHIT to ruin people's lives. Breitbart does.

[MikeMc]

18. Time to cut CNN and Huff Post loose.

Hayes is on the ball.

19. Didn't Dylan Radigan just blow Andy?

20. Talking heads like this woman...

Are always the problem during campaigns or otherwise,they throw in an fake argument for a non issue and we talk abut nonsense for weeks and sometimes months...

[provis99]

22. the Clown News Network.

Crappy News Network, Conservative Nonsense Network, I know its one of those...
