Fact: Breitbart is a sleazy, lying, cheating, piece of crap.

[Control-Z]

He IS a dick, who gets his rocks off destroying people through lies and deceptions. That is what we KNOW about him. He does it openly, in public. I don't want to think about what he must do in private. I would bet money he participates in the most disgusting, sleazy, sexual activities imaginable.

He needs to shut the fuck up. (Especially if that syphilis rumor is true.)

[provis99]

1. He is indeed, a repugnant asshole.

Unfortunately for me, since I vigorously defended Weiner, he is a repugnant asshole that also told the truth.

[Capitalocracy]

4. This time.

Don't feel bad for not believing the boy who cries wolf for a living.

[johnfunk]

7. He did NOT tell the truth about two women caught up in the kerfluffle

Namely, "Betty" and "Veronica". His BigGovernment site botched the story. No correction, no apology.

[Control-Z]

9. Yes.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Imo, there is nothing to defend, though. I don't know anyone who hasn't said or written something inappropriate in private at some point. And I have yet to to meet one single human being who readily admits to it when caught. I don't even consider what he did cheating. It is sexual fantasy that damn near all of us participate in in some form. Modern technology and some really ugly people have made this into what it is.

But then, it is his wife who should be the judge. And only his wife.

[sabrina 1]

41. He would have done it anyhow, truth or not, if necessary, as he

has before. This time he lucked out and he will use this forever to try to legitimize himself. Which is why his whole sick, dirty organization needs to be thoroughly exposed because now he will go even further in his pursuit of destroying 'liberals'.

Weiner must have known they were after him. I can't even begin to understand the sheer stupidity of what he was doing. Even ordinary people, like me eg, know better than to ever, ever put something online that someone could use against me. It's just too risky.

Which leads me to conclude that he has a problem of some sort, or once they get into these power positions, so many of them seem feel untouchable. Maybe someone should start giving Democrats courses on how to never forget that Andrew Breitbart et al are always searching for dirty laundry, so make sure you don't leave any lying around.

I am dumbfounded that one of the smartest Democrats, did something so completely stupid, and he better hope those women were all of legal age because it looks like at least one of them may have been a plant all along.

[Wind Dancer]

49. It's really hard to understand, isn't it?

Like you, I'm totally dumbfounded as to why he behaved in this manner. He's not a stupid man.

[EV_Ares]

2. Yes he is; recommended.

[hobbit709]

3. And those are his good points.

[Turbineguy]

5. That's why Democratic politicians

should not deliver themselves to him.

[Hell-A Liberal]

46. PREACH.

With Barack Hussein Obama in the White House and an election year around the corner, the scrutiny was bound to be 1000% more intense from the (R) pea-brains and no-nothings.

The Repugs are prepping for this election as if were a war -- and certainly is a WAR. They want to END Medicare for crying out loud, and that's just for starters...

Sorry, but we progressives need to be doing the same kind of preparation with SERIOUS FOCUS. Weiner, for example, really disappointed me deeply.

Make no mistake, Breitbart is, first and foremost, an excellent political operative of the Right. He gets paid for the slime he puts out. His incentive? The mucho dinero he gets from spreading such filth via rado, TV, and Net.

Breitbart's role is to deflect, distract and incite --- so disgusting.....it is no coincidence, IMHO, that this latest story burst through when it did. It's 12pm in Hell-A, and Weiner and his weiner are all over my TV screen and radio waves....nothing else....so sad, so crazy making!

Dear sensible Congressmen and Congresswomen - PLEASE ish or get off the pot. Seriously. The rest of us have REAL work to do in this country.

Obama is no saint by any means - as disappointing as he has been to some here on DU, it must be acknowledged that his opponents are as much a polar opposite as one can get!

That is nothing but bad, bad, bad.

Enough with the stupid America, it's time to get serious.

[sharesunited]

6. He has the imprimatur of truth on this one. And you can't take that away from him.

You can target him in other ways, and I might support them. Pies, poop in flaming bags on his doorstep, whatever.

But you can't blame Breitbart for Weiner's foolishness.

If Weiner felt the need to publicly confess today, I would hope he would have had the good sense to say something like yeah I sexted and sent pictures of my schlong, but the Republicans are trying to sodomize the American People in the following ways: Fact, fact, fact.

If you're going to go down in flames, at least let those flames illuminate something that leaves your political principles standing.

[bluestate10]

11. Weiner has acted like a weak, confused kid. I never thought that

Weiner would be President, but I saw Weiner as a person that could yield great power in the democratic party for decades to come. Now all I see and want is for Weiner to resign.

[Control-Z]

15. I said nothing about Weiner.

I was making an observation about a man of the lowest character who has done nothing (that I know of) to advance the human race. He's not the kind of guy who fixes things or helps people. He destroys at every turn. That is what he does.

There is not a man or woman alive that can't be taken down if someone like Breitbart sets out to destroy them.

[sharesunited]

19. He's a roach, but a roach can be a hell of a spy. If you can squash him, Do It.

Shit you may as well ask what does Julian Assange do? He doesn't fix things or help people. He just destroys at every turn. That's what he does.

So please describe the relative merits of Andrew Breitbart versus Julian Assange.

Scoundrels for the unwelcome news, it would seem. Both alike?

[Control-Z]

23. I guess motive

might have a whole lot to do with it.

[sharesunited]

25. I would attribute to Julian Assange a desire to collapse international diplomatic relations.

And replace it with what?

That's a sort of anarchist idealism I guess.

Breitbart is just a grimy fuck?

Hell if I can tell the difference if a moment of truth is scored.

[Control-Z]

26. Breitbart is just a grimy fuck.

No question.

[kenfrequed]

30. a truth told with ill intent

... beats any lie you can invent.


There is a cavernous gulf between breitbart and assange. Mentioning their names in the same sentence is lunacy and an absurd false equivalency. On the one hand I see a political operative willing to say or do or se up anything to try to win some disgusting politcal victory for the lowest most selfish, conniving, mad, and idiotic low road in modern history. On the other a flawed idealist who believes in the truth and that no government is above its people.

If you cannot distinguish between the two then you are on the wrong board my friend.

[emilyg]

28. +1

[calimary]

44. Great point.

I'd say if you're going down in flames, try to grab one of your enemies and take 'em down with you.

This is politics. Not patty-cake.

[bbinacan]

8. I'm confused by this post

You could trade the names of Breitbart and Weiner. Which one is which? Lies and deception?

[Control-Z]

10. Wow.

I'd be embarrassed by your post if I were you.

[Skittles]

12. why?

Weiner IS a liar and a supreme embarrassment

[EFerrari]

13. Because Weiner's dumb behavior isn't a career of sliming people

for profit like Breitbart's is? The comparison is mean spirited and ridiculous.

[Control-Z]

16. Thanks, EFerrari!

:hi:

[Skittles]

17. do you not get it?

slimy pieces of shit like Breitbart wouldn't be able to do SHIT without the ridiculous actions of people like WEINER

[Control-Z]

20. Really?

Refresh my memory. What was it that Shirley Sherrod did?

22. Honestly, Skittles - did Shirley Sherrod do anything to deserve

the treatment she received at the hands of Breitbart?

[Skittles]

27. ???

you're comparing Ms. Sherrod to Mr. Weiner?????

[Control-Z]

29. Um, I think that was you.

"slimy pieces of shit like Breitbart wouldn't be able to do SHIT without the ridiculous actions of people like WEINER."

What were Ms. Sherrod's ridiculous actions?

[Skittles]

37. done

you're.....er, RIDICULOUS

[JuniperLea]

43. LOL

I think the ridiculous is on the other foot, Skittles.

[EFerrari]

36. That may be true but that doesn't make them interchangeable. n/t

[JuniperLea]

42. I guess you forgot about all the shit he made up...

And the "actors" he hired as well.

Wrongo... Breitbart doesn't need the actions of anyone, ridiculous or otherwise, to peddle his stench.

48. I wouldn't be

Breitbart and Weiner are the ying and yang of scandal. Breitbart would be out of business if not for idiots like Weiner.

[Control-Z]

53. Well, you should.

Breitbart has made his name destroying good, decent people. Ever heard of Shirley Sherrod? ACORN? Use the google. It will educate you in ways you've never dreamed possible.

[hack89]

54. I understand that he is a sleazeball

unfortunately so is Weiner. We can argue their relative sleaziness(Breitbart is sleazier) but there is room in my personal moral code to condemn both. Or to put it another way, their is nothing about Breitbart that makes me willing to give Weiner a pass.

[sabrina 1]

18. You're confused, between a complete lying scumbag

whose entire miserable life is centered around destroying the lives of decent people, who is a racist, and who also has a 'jewish' problem, targeting mostly minorities with his lying stunts, who is currently being sued by several people whose lives he nearly ruined, and Anthony Weiner?

[EFerrari]

40. Breitbart is a Tea Klanner and was involved in the ACORN fake story,

the Sherrod story and the New Black Panthers story. All fakes attacking the black community to feed his racist readership.

[Avant Guardian]

14. He is sociopath

He is also well paid for his efforts.

[madamesilverspurs]

21. Yes.

-

[jimmyflint]

24. So much drama about what?

This is ridiculous it is the President Clinton blow job fiasco all over again. It is none of our fucking business. This should be a private matter between him,his wife, and his "girlfriend(s)". If this breitbart guy likes pics of dudes in their under ware, then you'd think that's the sort of thing DU could help a guy out with.

35. Sure he is but Weiner brought this on himself

And has nobody to blame but himself.

[DavidDvorkin]

38. And now we know that Weiner is, too.

[Control-Z]

52. You must be a saint.

No?

[DavidDvorkin]

55. Irrelevant.

[Control-Z]

56. Funny.

That is exactly how the right wing feels. They don't need to practice what they preach for the rest of us.

[Raine]

39. Yeah he is, too bad he will appear credible now

because of Weiner's STUPID actions.:thumbsdown:

[Rebubula]

45. Your topic sentence -

...I would also apply to Wiener.


Sorry...blasting Breitbart for reporting something is pretty weak. All he did was point out (and it was bound to be exposed by someone else eventually) that Wiener was being an Internet Creep.

But...yeah...Breitbart is the enemy here....

[hack89]

47. Who was right about Weiner. nt

[think]

50. And wrong about the other bullshit he peddled as truth. He's a CON man that got lucky this time...nt

[Control-Z]

51. He also decided to be

the judge of what is right or wrong for Anthony Weiner who did nothing illegal. For all Breitbart knew, a rich online fantasy life may have been perfectly acceptable to Weiner's wife - the only one who gets to say. There are marriages like that. There are also therapists who consider it therapeutic for some relationships.

Edit to add: This response is for hack89 - seemed to fit better here.
