Jesus, why do people keep taking him seriously?
Jesus, that's already been debunked. You need to go to websites other than far-left ones that don't have the latest details.

It's "old" (3 days), been debunked about the photoshop/fake picture. That meme from the Left did NOT work.

NOT a right wing site.

During an encounter with reporters earlier today, Weiner refused to answer any questions about the incident, including whether that was his own package in the photo, why he contacted a lawyer instead of law enforcement, and why he was following the college student on Twitter in the first place. Instead, he pointed reporters to his previous statements (which don't actually address those questions) and expressed his desire to move on to more important business.

How about hearing from Breitbart himself.
Breitbart: Weiner having relationships with ‘girls that are quite young’*|*Raw Replay
Weiner is slime, why anybody would try to defend this piece of garbage is beyond me.
He claimed his account was hacked, which is a serious Federal crime. They don't need his permission to investigate a crime of this magnitude. Wolfe has received death threats, I hope he can get those investigated as well.

For those who might be interested in how Jon Stewart, a friend of Anthony Weiner's, handled the story last night..........

Distinguished Member of Congress - The Daily Show with Jon Stewart - 05/31/11 - Video Clip | Comedy Central

Quote:
Anyway, as a comedian this is a slam dunk,” Stewart said. “’Weiner’ name, weiner picture – where’s my check? But, as a friend of his, I really hope this story is not true. I really do. I would feel terrible if this were true, as a friend of his. And I do have my doubts about its veracity, having nothing to do with the circumstantial back-and-forth about this, my thoughts stem from this:

He's even losing the Kossacks @ DKos;

Daily Kos: CNN Report - Weiner Refuses to Answer Basic Questions

I think we can guess how Stewart handled it - NOT how he normally would handle it.

Again, we can just imagine how he would have handled it if this were a republican.

The impromptu presser has done even MORE damage to Weiner.

I think even the staunchest admirer of his with blinders on would have to admit he sure does sound and act like a guy trying to hide something.

Were any crimes committed? Did it interfere with the representation of his district? Hypothetically speaking, if he did in fact cheat on his wife, then he did something horrible to his wife and women should beware. Don't date him after the divorce. Other than that, he's not a criminal.

I guess lying to the American people is just expected when it comes to Democrats in congress.

I said before I didn't think he was stupid enough to do this but I'm starting to have my doubts.

First off, he followed very few people on Twitter, and it turns out a number he did follow were younger women.

Second, not long ago, he stated Cyber crimes were serious threats that needed to be dealt with. Yet now he seems less inclined to take what he initially said was work of hackers, as serious.

He has refused to answer questions and refused to say he didn't send the pic.

I think he did send it but meant for it to be a private follower to follower tweet. He accident clicked the wrong button. He soon realized this and deleted it, which was why it got found out/deleted so quickly.


I could be wrong but his actions and words so far make one inclined to think he did in fact do this.

If his accounts were hacked, that is a crime that needs to be investigated.

Just a few words - Foley, Craig, Vitter, Ensign, Sanders - Weiner needs to get the same treatment these fellows received.

I think the most damning of the presser was his refusal to deny it was a pic of his crotch.

He's already in for a pound of lies, might as well go all the way.
