The Second Time as Farce [ Daily Kos Poster- Wiener set up to protect Clarance Thomas]
Wall Street Journal ^ | June 8 2011 | By JAMES TARANTO

Posted on 06/08/2011 1:04:14 PM PDT by NoLibZone

Mr. Weiner, who paused several times to collect himself, said repeatedly that he had no explanation to offer for his conduct. When a reporter asked, "What were you thinking?" he replied, "I don't know what I was thinking. These were destructive things to do."

Thus Andrew Reinbach at the Puffington Host Sunday: "What's gone largely unremarked is that the tactics used against Rep. Weiner are the ones at the top of the Right Wing toolkit. At a minimum, the Right Wing displays a fondness for tactics, and a willingness to stoop, that I think have no place in the public sphere."

And "Stranded Wind" at DailyKos.com Thursday: "Congressman Anthony Weiner was stalked, set up, smeared, and this was coordinated to protect Clarence Thomas from scrutiny. . . . This conservative crime wave isn't going to just go away. As we've seen with Anthony Weiner, any individual who troubles them, even if that person by [sic] a United States Congressman, is going to get whacked."

And "phenry," also at DailyKos.com Thursday: "In reality, of course, the 'hacker' probably just spent about an hour figuring out how to spoof yfrog's incredibly weak security and then uploaded a picture he found on a porn site. But Rep. Weiner doesn't know that. Realistically, there's no reason to expect him to know that. Now that the wheels are coming off of the cunning plan and Breitbart has once again been exposed as the charlatan and serial liar that he is, hopefully Rep. Weiner will have learned enough about how it all went down to be able to say emphatically that the photo is not of him. But even if that never happens, folks, that's no reason to throw in with Breitbart the way so many of you here have done this week."

That’s funny that they think Republicans are actually smart enough to hatch these plots to bring down prominent dems.

We’ve got clowns like Romney that don’t even know anything about climategate and what a hoax AGW is.

They never cease to amaze me. It is always the messenger’s fault, isn’t it? Yeah, the bitch set me up. The RATS are good at excuses. They are never responsible for their own behavior.

just like today Bob Beckel went on TV to declare that banks and the business community had joined in a CONSPIRACY with the GOP to keep unemployment high and deny Obama a second term.

Looks like Tin Foil Hat Season is in full swing on the left.

The guy admits, under duress but unequivocally, that he took the picture of his penis and he posted it on Twitter - yet these goofy moonbats still see a conspiracy somewhere.

The stupidity of liberals knows no bounds.

Classic liberal delusion. They are never, ever responsible for their actions, it’s always ‘the Republicans’ or ‘the rich’ or ‘big business’ but never, ever the liberals, themselves. Yet Americans elect these clowns to high office and they screw us, every time, one way or another.

Smoking at Huff Po?

Anything they can.

Seriously, many exhibit signs of diminished cognitive process and skills due to excessive drug use.

As I’ve said before, I can’t understand how this guy stays sober while constantly telling lies.

Sorry couldn’t resist. Came into the room and Sean was just introducing the Turd Blossom.

Had to shut down the radio.

Don’t know how I’m going to make it up to the dog, usually he howls when Sean comes up. Today he was sleeping though.

Just goes to show that if you’re a leftist bullyboy, you can slam the car door on your own weiner and there’ll be plenty of tinfoil hatters ready to claim that it’s someone elses fault.

They're joking right? If it had been a Repub, they'd have ALREADY burned him at the stake.

The Right Wing Toolkit®. It has the power to make people drop trou.

The guy confessed to taking the pictures and sending them to these girls. Just how did Republicans force him to take the pics and to send them? I am really curious as to what the answer of these truly insane liberals would be to that question.

So the Julius Streicher brigade at DailyKos is trying to set a counterattack. Good luck with that, you worms. The weiner has been grilled. No amount of huffing and puffing will turn a steaming pile of sh*t into a bouquet of fresh roses.

Get a microscope and post pictures of your privates. Barney Frank might have a magnifying glass in his pocket and notice.

Somebody should tell Beckel to just shutup and chose a hair color.

"Classic liberal delusion."

Yes, many liberals are delusional.
But the stupid "conspiracy" claims mentioned in the article are not the result of delusion. They are outright, in-your-face, premeditated lies and slander by leftist Democrat media mouthpieces attempting to repair and protect the Party's image. These people feel they can get away with making these ridiculous statements because they know they are protected by the corrupt media agencies they work for and because they have nothing but contempt for the intelligence of the America public.

Regarding the intelligence of the American public, the Democrat Party media shills may be right. Americans are still voting for Democrats who hate them and America. If anyone is deluded, it's the American public who still keep listening to CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, NBC, FOX, the Washington Post, the New York Times, George Will, Charles Krauthhammer, Ed Schultz, Oprah, network news anchors etc..
