m$nbc...'he tweeted a seventeen year old and she talked to police'

[spanone]

'did anthony weiner do anything wrong?'

alex the twit on m$nbc

'does this make the situation worse?'

what bullshit

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

1. A few minutes ago..NBC NY...Weiner twitters 17 year old, his people say it was not inappropriate..

Firestorm will follow him to Washington on Monday....

Nothing about the parents' statement that it was all innocent.

[spanone]

2. it's the headline....it's even in my morning paper....who cares if it's true?

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

3. It's become a frigging witchhunt...McCarthyism...it's disgusting. btw

IMHO...this is far worse than anything anyone perceives what Weiner did. Where's the outrage at media manipulation of the facts.

[cali]

7. oh what nonsense.

if he cares so much about the liberal causes he espouses, why the fuck did he put everything at risk by his stupid behavior?

[proud2BlibKansan]

9. Amen

I completely agree.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

10. You have to be kidding me Cali. I know all too well about men and their cocks and thinking

with their cocks. There are tomes about men and cheating. Did JFK care less about what was important to him even while he was screwing Marilyn amongst others? MLK fucked around on Coretta and yet do we stop admiring him and what he did?

Weiner is flawed and so are most everyone I know is in one way or the other.

[cali]

12. it was a different day and age. The reporting pool simply did not report

on that stuff in JFK's day.

Now they do. Weiner knew that.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

16. But that doesn't change the psychology. I have already gone on record here at DU

that I believe what Weiner did was stupid and juvenile. I don't believe it was illegal (so far) and I don't believe in throwing out the baby with the bathwater. His constituents are digging in and his poll numbers are on the rise with them. I was born and raised in his CD, which is very Liberal, and I know that I don't give a crap about what he does with his personal life. Nobody's perfect.

13. Utterly ridiculous, he did nothing wrong

and it's doubly ridiculous that you and certain members of this party have chosen to live by the standards set by the far right religious fundies.

WE ARE NOT REPBUBLICANS.

Every time they crack their whips you people jump all over your own, like wimpy parents who yell at their own kids when someone else yells 'shame' even if they're not doing anything wrong.

THEY are the bad guys. THEY sent goons online to harass high school girls and a US Rep. because he went after Thomas, and because he's a 'dreaded, hated, sinful, godless, LIBERAL.

I am sick to death of spineless democrats trying so hard to show how 'different they are' from Repubs, hoping to get a pat on the back from the abusers or whatever. Which they'll never get.

This is a war! It's not Miss Manners Tea Party! It's a fight for this country and they are winning each time they take out another good democrat.

Sickening, I wish there was another party that was not filled with wimps and capitulators. We need fighters.

To hell with their morality and their rules. YOU abide by them if you wish, I am not a Republican so I don't care that he had sex and the Dems should tell them to go to hell and stop trying to push their uptight, stupid, hypocritical morality on the rest of us and then tell them Weiner did no wrong, but THEY did.

And then start exposing their whole nasty, hateful, bigoted ignorant organization.

[cali]

14. bwahahahaha. your post is patently ridiculous.

this had fuck all to do with prudery or religious fundamentalism. I could care less if tony sucks his own dick or fucks his doggie or screws his neighbor upside down- as long as he keeps it private. It's called common sense. It's called giving enough of a shit about the causes you purportedly care about to not do shit that will bring a scandal down on your head.

this is simple stuff. duh.

[sabrina 1]

20. He did keep it private.

Stop distorting the facts to fit what you'd like to think. He conducted his cyber sex activities on his twitter DM account. That means they were private. At least know what you're talking about before you go off on your usual rampages.

Anyhow, the campaign to drive him out of office because of sex, has failed. Since the penis pic was released, his numbers have only gone up.

Prudes in DC and from the far right lunatic fringes that conducted this campaign, stuck back in the Victorian age, and completely out of touch with ordinary people, chose the wrong weapon to turn the people against him. They made the mistake of thinking we are all still shocked by the sight of a penis. So because of their lack of ability to determine what will actually shock the public, it was a failed campaign.

He is now in the 60s in the latest poll. Seems the public liked his pic.

4. Last I checked tweet is not illegal. And in NY, 17 is deemed capable of consent even if they were to

meet up and strip off all their clothes and briefly interlock a couple of their body parts.

[B Calm]

5. The longer this smear job goes on the stronger Weiner will get!

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

6. Updated NBC NY....started report as the first, interview with Chas. Rangel who defends Weiner, and

then finally mentions that the girl didn't receive any inappropriate messages.

But stay tuned for Monday as they will be reporting on Weiner's return to DC!

8. Liars

How are you getting MSNBC? Don't they stop all programming on Friday and Saturday and show round the clock prison garbage?

[NYCGirl]

15. MSNBC does news on Saturday until noon. NT

[NorthCarolina]

11. He didn't look like he would voluntarily step down, so it was necessary to up the ante. nt

[Zax2me]

17. Oh, yea. I'm sure it was all completely innocent....

Not.
No, at this point, he gets no free passes and knee-jerk defense from people that were lied to over and over before the truth was forced out.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

18. Check the news. It was innocent. Her parents said they would have filed charges if it wasn't.

[spanone]

19. then be sure to read the truth. he doesn't need a free pass.
