Bottom line-I just don't believe in biology being destiny, or an excuse, for men or for women.


no, but it shapes who we are and can help give us a context for understanding -- again, not excusing -- some behavior.

read if you get a chance. i find transgender stuff really interesting. :)
 
The conservative blogger who reported that a photo of a man's crotch had been sent from Rep. Anthony Weiner's Twitter account to a woman college student says he has an X-rated picture he'll publicize if the New York Democrat attempts reprisals against him.

isn't that blackmail?? :huh:
 
Weiner went on NightLine, held a few press conferences, took questions, said his Twitter was hacked, that he hired an investigator to look into it.

Well, I would like to hear from that investigator, I'd like to know what he found.
I'd like to see the work product.
 
this guy is worth defending??

this guy is worth defending??


the sex messages are none of our business and not worthy of resignation and are little more than evidence that he was engaging in interactive cybersex like millions of other men and women. there is no evidence of an extramarital affair, and that wouldn't be grounds for resignation either. Craig didn't resign. Clinton didn't resign. freaking David Vitter -- he with the prostitutes and diapers -- didn't resign. what Weiner has "done" falls far, far, far short of what any of these other men have done from a moral and legal standpoint.

his lying afterwards and potential use of public resources for the cover up as well as the loss of his credibility makes him not worth defending and indicates that, yes, it would be better if he did resign.

that's pretty much how I see it.

tuned in briefly to Limbaugh today. He is not wanting him to resign, he would rather hang him around the Dem's neck like the Dems did with Mark Foley

the 2012 election had some things breaking the Dems way, Ryan's SS plans, now with a 46 year old Dem congressman trolling for college coeds and sending them naked penis pics,
with close elections in any of the 435 districts- the Dems don't need a Weiner problem in 2012
 
the texts this Congressman wrote are baffling, this guy is a whack job

http://www.radaronline.com/exclusiv...dentity-reveals-‘he-called-me-congress-phone’

Rep. Anthony Weiner used an unflattering Jewish sexual stereotype during another Facebook sexting session with a middle-aged woman, RadarOnline.com and Star magazine are exclusively reporting in a joint newsgathering operation.

In a salacious new transcript of a conversation the embattled Democrat had with the woman, who lives in Nevada but does not want to be identified, the shamed politico asked whether his social networking pen pal gave “good” oral sex.

“You give good head?” the embattled and married New York congressman asked the woman on March 16, this year.

She responded: “I’ve been told really good...and i love doing it.”

At that point, 46-year-old Weiner declared: “wow a jewish girl who sucks (bleep)! this thing is ready to do damage.”

this guy should resign

and his pretty, intelligent, accomplished 34 year old wife should leave him.

who would want to be married to this guy?
how could you face people ?
 
Weiner's done. If Chris Lee has to resign after a shirtless photo pops up on twatter.... then Weiner and his small package has to go. The only way he will survive is that the media won't swarm on him like they did Trent Lott or any other republican.

But I wouldn't touch this Weiner with a six inch pole.

And in defense of this DEEP guy... the point about parading someone's perverse priviate conversations is just that... I'm interested in seeing human depravity. It makes me feel better about myself for not being such a scumball... And also makes me interested to see how sitting on his c##k turned out. Was it pleasurable... fun... partisan?

These are some very odd comparisons. Chris Lee resigned within hours because he was scared of the exposure he would get. There was evidence he was into transexuals and that wouldn't have gone over too well with Republicans. So he resigned before anything else got exposed.

And Trent Lott? Really? I'm not even sure what comparison you were trying to draw there.

Lee didn't have to resign. he just did. and Republicans put themselves up for a much greater fall because they campaign and legislate on their interest in regulating what goes on in other people's bedrooms, as well as holding themselves up as paragons of "family values." and yet ... did David Vitter, he who asked to be put in diapers by prostitutes, have to resign? Larry Craig? Democrats at least don't pretend that they fuck more righteously than anybody else. and there was no actual sex going on here.

Weiner may resign, but that's because of the political impact and the potential cover up, not because of his private, consensual online activities.

this is very honest. Schadenfreude is what drives most of this.
 
Weiner should absolutely resign. He'll hurt the Dems if he doesn't.

This still depresses me, because I had a lot of respect for Weiner, something I rarely let myself do with politicians. You really can't put faith in anyone.
 
What he writes sounds a bit immature, but it's far from being perverse.
But other than one's own not any more mature interest in the dirty secrets of another person's life there's really no point in publishing, posting and discussing these pictures and conversations.
 
alert the morality police... a congressman liked to jerk off!

please... i'd be willing to bet a lot of those who are crying all high and mighty about senator weiner's "perverse" online activities would be horrified if someone posted their internet history cache dumped into a public forum.

if not a single one of you has ever talked naughty online, visited a porn site or done anything else that would make your mamma blush, well hey... good on you then.

he committed no crimes. the only person he needs to answer to for the actual dirty talk and picture swapping is his wife.

the only thing he has to answer to me to, as a tax payer of the state of new york, is if he used tax payer resources to cover up his wank sessions, and then lied about that. if he did, then yes... he should resign. if not, then i have no issue with him staying on. in fact i'd feel better knowing that my congressman watched two girls, one cup, and had the appropriate reaction after doing so... as opposed to someone who hides behind a mask of moral superiority but is blowing the pool boy behind closed doors.

you get it

and for anyone else that does get where I am coming from

it's not a question of what is legal. it is a question of common decency.

one would want to believe if their daughter or son friended or followed a respected U S Congressman on a Social Network. A social network that was created to further his political aspirations. That it would not lead to naked pictures of himself and other lewd, vulgar language and requests.

And no doubt about it, some of these posts happened when he was on the clock, in session. He also used Congressional phones.

He may have survived if he laid low for a few days, and then gave a statement that he made personal bad choices with his online activity. That he would turn his sites over to a staffer to run.

But going pubic and lying, challenging reporters that questioned him. The guy has zero credibility now. Would you want him to serve on a House Committee about internet use? Safety?

Staying in office just shows that he very selfish, putting himself above the Democrat Party and even the good of the country. Can you imagine a parent punishing a kid for sexting nude pictures of him or herself. Only to have the kid say Congressman Wiener texted a picture of his erection to a woman he never met. Just someone that friended him. Why am I being punished??




EDIT to add:

will we get a statement from the Honorable Anthony Wiener that he can not say with "certitude" that the image in the link below is not the member's member

well, that's patronizing. these were adults, deep. not teenagers. and they engaged in consensual fantasy talk and mutually exchanged photographs.

you've written some highly sexual things in here. there could be teenagers lurking in FYM.
 
mean while, in the real world

Tim Kaine, the former chair of the Democratic National Committee who is now running for a U.S. Senate seat in Virginia, told a local television station earlier that "lying publicly" about his behavior was "unforgivable and he should resign." He is the first prominent Democrat to expressly call for him to do so.
 
Can we really be sure that this picture is Wieners piece? I mean there are many married women in America who presumably haven't seen a male penis in many years. Are they the ones who can safely verfiy?

Furthermore, Anthony, shame on you. If you are going to leave politics because of a sex scandal, go out with a bang. A real one. I mean does talking to women online warrant that? If you are going to take the rap at least you could do the deed.

A Wiener indeed.

NSFW Not Safe For Work : Anthony Weiner Penis Photo Exposed Via Andrew Breitbart's iPhone [NSFW] - New York News - Runnin' Scared

you had me feeling your pain up until the whole "won't someone think of the children" part, at which point you completely lost me.

you brought me back in by posting a report linked to opie & anthony, but yea... not back enough.
 
Can we really be sure that this picture is Wieners piece?


A Wiener indeed.

you could be right, this just got added

Update, 1:46 p.m.: For what it's worth, the photo could very well be a fake because Opie and Anthony are shock jocks, paid to get attention, and have done this sort of thing before on a large scale. Note, for example, that Breitbart seems to have been carrying a BlackBerry at the taping, as reported by Salon, not an iPhone. (Sometimes busy people, especially those who run conservative internet empires, have more than one cellphone.) Call it Weinergate Fatigue Syndrome, but it's hard to care very much either way at this point.

However, Breitbart says he has a picture that Wiener sent to some woman that was sent by Wiener.

"If this guy wants to fight with me again, I have this photo," Breitbart reminded everyone.

at this point Breitbart has been telling the truth and Weiner has been lying.
 
Pressure has begun to build within Democratic circles for Rep. Anthony Weiner to step aside although the embattled New York Democrat remains resolute that he is staying in office.

Pennsylvania Democratic Rep. Allyson Schwartz said Wednesday that “having the respect of your constituents is fundamental for a Member of Congress,” adding: “In light of Anthony Weiner’s offensive behavior online, he should resign.”

Such a strong statement by Schwartz, who handles recrutiment as well as member services for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, is widely regarded as a sign that the party leadership has decided it’s time for Weiner to leave the House.

Schwartz joins Arkansas Sen. Mark Pryor and Maine Rep. Mike Michaud as well as former Democratic National Committee Chairman Tim Kaine in calling on Weiner to step aside.

The decent thing, would be for him to do it by tomorrow.

The selfish thing will be for this scumbag to try and hold on though the week end. I doubt if he will survive though next week. What a total loser.

All of the good work he has done is being undermined by his behavior since this story broke.
 
deep, if you're so upset about this loser's/scumbag's

behavior since this story broke

why are your posts much more interested in his sexual fantasies and anatomy and concern that suddenly the children are going to be sexting each other because one of 435 congressional representatives got caught doing something that millions of other people do every day?

you seem more upset about this than about DSK.

anyway, enjoy the ecstasy of sanctimony, kids.
 
some things are worth fighting for

marriage equality
meaningful health care reform

that this scumbag should use his elected office to trade for sexual gratification is not one. lying about it should have no consequences ??

online hacking is a serious issue,I believe it is a crime. lying about it is similar to filing a false police report
 
there are people that deserve sympathy, defending, this guy is not a victim in anyway

most of the people in here would rather see Obama reelcted over Romney.

This is the kind of thing that sways voters,. The Dems made alot of headway with the scandals the GOP had, Mark Foley, Abranoff, etc scandals in 2006.

You may recall the Dems made good pick ups in the 2006 and 2008 elections.

A lot is at stake in next years elections. Just send a few women and independent voters to the GOP and it is all over.

How can anyone say this guy has not shown extremely poor judgement, repeatedly? Swap him out, he is in a safe district, put in a Dem that is not tainted.
