These are confidential sources. If you cant call me, at least have this blog taken down, or redact the DM screenshot, including the names (redacted) and the name (redacted), and the girls picture. And any reference to those names in the comments or story

Thats a community members post. Not my staff. I dont exert editorial control over what the community writes absent legal imperatives or deeply offensive material. Right now, Im seeing neither.
Im not sure I get why you want me to pull that. Those DMs appear relevant to the story. As I understand it, those two individuals injected themselves into a political smear effort, why should they be protected now?
Open to a counter argument that has nothing to do with protecting your source. http://www.mediaite.com/online/andrew-breitbart-did-not-run-weinergate-evidence-which-turned-out-to-be-fabricated/4/
Markos M is very rich, and has deep pockets, and doesn't care if your girls are publicly identified regarding this lurid affair. have you attorneys?

What “smear”? The smear that exists in Kos’s leftist Democrat mind? Kos has acted in an unprincipled manner before, as when he plainly blamed Palin for Giffords’ being shot. Kos had targeted Giffords for defeat himself. He needs to learn some ethics.
How, exactly, have these girls participated in a smear? By being twittered by Shorty Weiner?
BTW, regarding that underwear bit, it occurred first in "Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery" a 1997 hit.
This is the one where he wiggles his tush dressed only in his UK Flag undies and the Fembots' heads explode!
We can only imagine that Weiner thinks of himself as a modern day LIBERAL Austin Powers with the little girls nothing more than robotic Fembots.
He's never getting out of jail.
Maybe John Edwards could sue Kos before he loses his law license.
