Couldn't happen to a nicer guy...

Breitbart couldn't have corresponded with "hackers" because FREAKING WEINER POSTED THE PICTURE HIMSELF!!!! Seriously, I don't particularly care for either of Mr. Weiner or Breitbart, but clearly one was in the right here and one wasn't.

Breitbart (I keep spelling his name various ways, sorry) did try to get ahold Mike Stark, who deleted his Twitter account immediately after all this broke (he forward the stuff to Breitbart), made claims he possessed other stuff, e-mailed he didn't want to get involved, was one of the ones who were stalking Weiner, etc. Alot of weirdness going on there. You can read them on Kos. Yes, their stuff was hacked into and published.

Weiner probably should have apologized to Breitbart, but Breitbart just got lucky with his minions sending him something real. He's still known for being career-destroying by manufacturing lies.

Weiner on day one should have said, "Yeah, it's me, I goofed up, I'm now going home as I owe my wife everything if she'll still have me" and been done with it. He didn't break the law. He was just a loser jackass.

Was a loser jackass or is a loser jackass?

And should a loser jackass, who lied to his constituents repeatedly, resign or continue in office?

And will his wife be OK?

According to you, lying is just fine.

According to me, it is not.

Not sure, not knowing details with your wife's financial affairs is lying? But in Weiner's case it's on tape. So should HE resign?

we had a guy resign because he sent a pic not wearing a shirt, didn't even lie about it. Personally I'd love to see the lil Weiner stay.

Yes, it is lying when there's a spot on the government financial disclosure form where you are required by law to list if your wife has income, and disclose it and the source.

And when you list "none" - five years in a row - when you and everyone else in Washington know damns well your wife works for a lobbyist, that's a bad thing.

Especially when you are a Supreme Court Justice. Ignorance of the law is no excuse for violating it, right

Weiner, unlike Clarence Thomas, didn't break any laws. No, no reason for him to resign. He can certainly get an ethics investigation within the House, and be subject to the decision there.

Ok, just to confirm that you understand though, there were no "hackers" involved. Weiner meant to send a message privately, accidentally posted it publicly, and then lied about it for 10 days to anybody who would ask. Stupidity did him in, not some sort of internet fairy.

I bet it wasn't even Weiner's erection. I bet it was Breitbart

All I know is if you pulled this stunt at most Corporations - you would be gone and gone quickly.

Somehow this must be Bush's fault.

A Texas longhorn? Seriously though, gave this guy the benefit of the doubt, especially considering the source...now it's time for him to go! Feel sorry for his wife and the folks who voted for this loser.

Yes, as I said, I'm aware of that. I'm saying that Breitbart and Stark (and other friends of Stark) were hacked into subsequent to their screen grabs, during the past week, by AnonyMiss.

The FBI ans CIA have several informants in Anonymous.

Riot · #16 06-07-2011, 02:52 PM

I'd believe that about FBI-CIA. I'd believe nothing is private, and nothing is completely secure anymore.

AnonyMiss (women on the internet) and Anonymous are two different internet hacker groups, but work together, apparently.

Yeah they're doing it for the LULZ. It's the same group of nerds just branching out and trolling per usual.

The Iran hack jobs have CIA intervention written all over it. Like the nerds say..."It's a trap!"

Started as a muslim group keeping track of their women. CIA can go straight in using keystroke via Echelon.
