Quote: At a press conerence just now, Anthony Weiner has accepted responsibility for sending the infamous tweet that has dominated news for the past week. He's also apologized for having misled his supporters and the media by claiming his account had been hacked. Weiner says he's had online relationships with a half-dozen or so women over the years, but that he hasn't met them in person. Weiner says he won't resign over his personal mistakes, embarrassing though they may be. You can watch the press conference live here. Update: The fucking media wants Weiner to apologize to Andrew Breitbart, which Weiner delivers. And the fucking media wants to know where his wife is. What assholes.

Quote: Now, for the matter at hand... Weiner lied. He tried to implicate others who were simply reporting the story, claiming THEY had hacked his twitter account.
Quote: So, he lied, lied about the lie, and then try to blame others for HIS OWN ACTIONS ! Standard Dem M.O. DEAL WITH IT !
Quote: There is no happy ending for you here. Those of you who supported Weiner, and swallowed his lies. Sorry folks, you took the shaft... ALL OF IT !

Quote:Originally posted by Kwicko: You're lying. Weiner never claimed that THEY hacked his account. He claimed that his account had been hacked. Others showed how easily this can be done. Given Breitbart's track record of shady dealings and shenanigans involving those he buys fake stories from, it was an easy connection to make, but Weiner himself never said what you're claiming he did. And you know that. So, by your own rules, you're lying. Now apologize.

Quote: There'd be 100 + replies by now, had some GOP member of Congress, after having so vehemently denied any wrong doing, after having accused MediaMatters or TheDailyKos of hacking his private account, and going through all the twists and theatrics, claiming innocence, a conspiracy, blah blah blah....
Quote:He tried to implicate others who were simply reporting the story, claiming THEY had hacked his twitter account.
Quote: “I want to hear the truth from Congressman Weiner and quite frankly I would like an apology for him being complicit in a blame-the-messenger strategy," Breitbart said. "I'm being accused of being the hacker against a congressman. He said nothing. He allowed for that to go. His minions perpetuated that false, malicious meme and then he went on CNN to attack me."
Quote: Kwickie, Niki - A total facial on y'all ! This likely will shake your faith and understanding of your entire world view.
Quote:This is the standard by which Lib Dems like Weiner operate, and should be an example for pretty much everything you THINK is real, or hold to as to who these people are and what YOU believe
Quote: There was no defense for his actions.

Quote:Originally posted by AURaptor: Weiner apologized. game, set, match. The strategy was to attack Breitbart, attack the messenger, and call into question the credibility and legitimacy of the story. Breitbart was 100% truthful and is 100 % vindicated, as am I on this matter. Kwickie, you've got something on your face. Ya might want to see to that.

Quote: Weiner was complicit in the disinformation coming from the Left wing bloggers. He knew the real story , all along, and did nothing to dissuade or correct the lies coming from KOS and other sites.

Quote:Weiner was complicit in the disinformation coming from the Left wing bloggers.
Quote: Niki - nice try. You tried to wash your hands of Weiner by saying " it's a stupid story", when in fact, it was a legit story, and there's no way around that. Doesn't matter that YOU'D like to down play it, because he's a Dem, and one you were eager to praise. ( Which , even before this mess, is absolutely hysterical )
Quote:Democratic Rep. Anthony Weiner was raging Thursday night on the House floor after it became clear that Republicans had enough votes to defeat a bill that provided health care to 9/11 first responders. In a dramatic one-and-a-half minute speech, the New York congressman excoriated Republicans for mounting their opposition to the bill's passage on their inability to offer amendments to it. "It's Republicans wrapping their arms around Republicans rather than doing the right thing on behalf of the heroes," Weiner said. "It is a shame. A shame! If you believe this is a bad idea to provide health care–then vote no! But don't give me the cowardly view that 'Oh if it was a different procedure'…"
Quote: And you look towards this Weiner guy as some sort of LEADER ? Someone to be praised and held up?

Quote:Prove Weiner DIDN'T lie ?
Quote:he allowed the story that Breitbart was some how fabricating this story to carry on when he knew the truth
Quote:You start a thread on him, and then claim there's no story
Quote:You praise him for standing up to the GOP, then claim you never saw him as any sort of a leader
Quote:Even though he's a bald faced liar, you still think highly of him. With the Left, it's not so much the character of the individual, but what issue they're willing do demagogue. huh?
Quote:while the Repub shamelessly carries on, knowing that he'll get re-elected, and before too long, he'll be right back at it.

Quote: In other words, as Mike said, you are now backtracking to say that Weiner ALLOWED the story to go on, not that Weiner himself blamed Breitbart. Good, at least we have that one behind us, despite the fact you won't SAY you were wrong in the first place. Gawd forbid and we never expected it.
Quote: Lying again. I started a thread to express my disgust that what I feel is a non-story was being made a big deal of by the media. I started a thread ABOUT a story, not about Weiner and his scandal. Anyone can go back and read the post that started the thread, rather than believe your lies.
