I can't wait to see these slapped on New York bumpers....

Three months before Representative Anthony D. Weiner sent a photo from his Twitter account to a 21-year-old Washington State college student named Gennette Cordova, a small group of determined, self-described conservatives were warning young women on Twitter, including Ms. Cordova, to be wary of him.
Calling themselves the #bornfreecrew on Twitter, members of the group closely monitored those whom Mr. Weiner was following, taking it upon themselves to contact young women they believed to be “schoolgirls,” and urging them publicly to stay away from him, according to an analysis of posts on Twitter’s public stream.
By early May, members of the group were also speculating that Mr. Weiner would be caught in a sex scandal. The leader, a man who identified himself on Twitter as Dan Wolfe and used the handle @PatriotUSA76, is the same Twitter user who discovered the photograph that Mr. Weiner took of himself and sent to Ms. Cordova. He shared it with his followers and the conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart, who made it public the next day.
As Democrats and Republicans embrace Twitter and other social media tools as a way to interact with their constituents and woo voters, many have discovered a downside to online communication: cyberstalkers, who track and criticize their every move.
But even by the standards of modern politics, Dan Wolfe and other members of the #bornfreecrew watched Mr. Weiner’s account with particular ferocity, and a sharp focus on his interactions with women. In several instances the congressman dropped his online contact with women after they were identified by the crew, suggesting that Mr. Weiner might have been aware of its actions.

“His focus now should be his wife, his Democratic colleagues and his constituents.”
Notice the order of importance? As always with Democrats, the party comes before the people they represent. But people are so numb to this that such an obvious gaffe will pass by unnoticed...yet again.
It is worse than that. His problem should be ironed out with God. His wife may not be forgiving without him. Liberals always get it wrong.
WAY TO GO you young conservatives. It isn’t like you are detectives, how hard is it you also have Twitter (no wonder so many Dems are on it - twits all) or Facebook and can just watch what the total idiot Weiner was doing?
Isn’t like they were spying or tapping his phone, etc. This dumb horny liberal was sending this stuff out ON HIS OWN. It was all over the world. How is Brietbart to blame?
But the left always wants to blame those judging. TO HELL WITH YOU. Do use a favor and abort yourself and slow down population growth you pitiful excuses for human beings.
Frankly, I think Bill is the only Clinton that likes Weiner. Can’t tell me he hasn’t got oral sex from a guy.
I can't wait to see these slapped on New York bumpers....
It’s a good thing Dan Rather was so lackidaisical about Bush’s military record.....otherwise he might’ve fallen for a “fake but accurate” forgery.
Oh yeah, deep investigation is good when liberals fake it, but bad when conservatives prove it.
I forgot.
My bad.
“But even by the standards of modern politics, Dan Wolfe and other members of the #bornfreecrew watched Mr. Weiner’s account with particular ferocity, and a sharp focus on his interactions with women...”
After reading it through, my take away from this article, the NY Slimes is severely urinated the group outed their favorite congressional “member.”
“Bill Clinton, who officiated his wedding to wife Huma Abedin”
Now that’s funny, right there. Sinkmeister playing minister to Weiner’s matrimonial vows.
Just what kind of wedding was this? 11 months ago— Jewish groom, Muslim bride, Sinkmeister taking their vows...
Hillary the maid of honor?
Bogus.
They can't get simple facts right. Breitbart didn't make the photo public - Weiner did! He tweeted it on his public twitter stream, which is the only reason it was noticed by Dan Wolfe in the first place. If it had been a private message, nobody else could have seen it.
Clinton: So, you didn't boff any of these chicks?
Weiner: No, Bill, I didn't ! I swear !
Clinton: You really are a disappointment
LOL!
Perhaps the NYTs is simply embarrassed they missed what a handful of conservative 'nobodies' found and monitored so easily.
I mean, it's not like he ever got close enough to these women to do Clinton's "cigar trick" with them.
