Outrageous Claim! Breitbart: Weiner Having Relationships With ‘Girls That Are Quite Young’
Posted on 05.31.11 By David Edwards

Conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart appeared on CNN Tuesday where he implied Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) had been engaged in inappropriate relationships with multiple young women.

Breitbart said that Dan Wolfe, the source for a lewd picture that allegedly appeared on Weiner’s Twitter account, had been tracking the congressman.

“I don’t know him that well, he has been monitoring relationships that Congressman Weiner has been having with women, young women, who claimed to have relationships with him,” Breitbart explained. “I’m not saying what type of relationships, but people that @RepWeiner follows. Girls that are quite young — younger than the girl in question here — talk openly about Rep. Weiner, who he follows these girls.”

Following Breitbart’s interview, CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin told host Randi Kaye that he regretted the network allowed Breitbart to make those claims.

1. And A Little While After Toobin Said He Regretted The Network Allowed Breitbart To.....
make those claims - CNN played the whole Breitbart interview again as well as Toobin's remarks. You would have thought they would have listened to Toobin and give up on the story - but nooooo - they had to replay all of Breitbart's lies and innuendo's again.

CNN is scum.

14. Who owns the media?
Edited on Wed Jun-01-11 06:27 AM by Joe Bacon
You get your answer. The overwhelming majority of the American Whore Press is bought lock, stock and barrel by the Republican Party thanks to Bill Clinton surrendering on the Communications Act of 1996.

We need to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine and Equal Time Provisions. We also need to reinstate ownership limits and hold not only the media responsible for what they say, but also hold the advertisers responsible for the content they finance. The FCC should have enforcement powers with teeth.

5. Me thinks this jackass may have just bitten off more than he can chew.
Weiner is tough. I don't think he's the type that would just let this slide.

11. When is someone going to "out" Breitbart?
Usually, liberals consider sexuality a matter of privacy, but since Breitbart plays dirty -- and since he belongs to a faction that is consistently anti-gay, I think it's only fair that he be outted as a hypocritical gay man himself.

Have I proof of this? No, no more proof than Breitbart has when he makes a charge. Nevertheless, I'm all but positive that he likes boys. Whenever I see him, my almost infallible gaydar goes off like a tornado siren. Besides, Breitbart has demonstrated that the truth has nothing to do with political infighting. All that matters is results, and the results I want are the public dismemberment of Andrew Breitbart.

13. This has all the steps of the destruction of a good man by the media and the right.
Edited on Wed Jun-01-11 06:17 AM by Mass
Next step: democrats asking Wiener to apologize. Already, when asked whether he believed Wieber, Schumer answered he was "virtually" certain he did nothing.

As for Breibart, why do the media even care about what he says. He has been discredited so often.
