I will bring this thread from the DUmp to spare DUmmy Dreamer Tatum the added effort.
He did his job by getting it started.

If what Weiner did was in no way illegal, immoral, or unethical
then it is impossible to affix blame to anyone for 'outing' him.
I'm tired of hearing people rail against Puritans and proclaim Weiner's absolute innocence on one hand, yet
shake fists at Breitbart for 'outing' him. If the former is true, the latter is irrelevant.
I say again: Weiner would still be in office if his Dem superiors had let it go.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x1327187Through this whole damn scandal, one thing has just irritated the hell out of me. Weiner's name should be pronounced with a long "i", like in "wine". I know, people can choose to have their proper names pronounced any way they want, but it violates English convention. It's as if someone named Smith wanted their name pronounced like Smythe, or vice versa.
In English, "ei" is pronounced like a long "i", or a long "a". "I before E except after C, or when pronounced like A as in 'anchors aweigh'." We don't pronounce "ei" like a long "e", even if this perv congressman's family does. If you want a long "e", you use "ie", like the proper spelling of "wiener", which is a German word. So the subject of the scandal is really the wagging of the Weiner wiener, not the Weiner weiner. But what do you expect from DUmmies?
It's almost as bad as having to say "bobbo the hobo".
Thank you, and good spelling.

1. he'd still be in office
if he hadn't showed off what was in his pants and then lied about it.
His fault and his fault alone.
Wait just one damn moment there. Poor, stupid Beth isn't going to let this go:

15. Breitbart and some of his creeps set out months ago
to try to catch Weiner with an underage girl and when they didn't, they put up a sock puppet pretending to be an under aged girl. Just because Weiner was sexting doesn't mean these people weren't up to their tricks, too. Both happened.
If the stupidest person on all the internets has this figured out, Breitbart is in big trouble.

16. Thanks for that info. Do you know how they got the rest of the pictures?
That's the piece I was wondering about. Were some of the girls he was sexting with affiliated with Brietbart?
Of course they were. They're the same chicks who get Yugo to say all those outrageous things.

17. I don't know that piece and won't add to the confusion
by speculating.
We all know that poor, stupid Beth has been validated by the DUmp as a thinker and writer. Could this be a clever double entendre?
Nah...she's still the stupidest person on all the internets.

18. Oh, c'mon its the internet.
If you believe people here always take great care here to be honest and accurate I know where you can get some "free Viagra".
Well, my question is why aren't people looking into it then. Wiener's acts are obviously problematic, but if every time a Congressman goes to work he has hookers and porn stars crawling all over him, maybe we need to ask who the pimp is.

19. I agree, we should.
If I had to guess about how Breitbart got the other picture, my guess would be he was contacted by someone who had one. Most people don't know what a creep he is. He's treated like a real journalist by CNN, that's all they know.
You can't fool poor, stupid Beth. She's all over this one.

14. Stalking, not outing.
I agree that it was the Dem leadership that pushed him out, and for their own reasons. His district didn't do that.
But what's more important than Weiner or the details, is the pattern of targeting and stalking that we've now seen over and over from that trash, Breitbart.
They got lucky with Weiner. But we've already seen that when they don't get lucky, they have no problem fabricating sh!t and we've seen how quickly the Democrats rush to toss the target off a cliff.
To their credit, the Democrats waited until they had more information before they tossed Weiner. I don't agree with their decision but they did better this time than they did with Sherrod or ACORN.
Poor, stupid Beth is an expert on stalking, having been the victim many times in the past.
She has suspicions that some of those road trips to North Dakota are just smokescreens for scouting missions to the Bay Area.
