I know a lot about image editing, and I have no idea what it's supposed to prove, either. Maybe that the bulge shot was manipulated in some way, but I don't know that it narrows down that that area of the screengrab was edited or enhanced by Breitbart, or whether the photo itself was edited by (presumably) Weiner. In the absence of the original, there might not even be a way to narrow that down.

And there's also danceprincess20 below saying she witnessed it live on Weiner's yfrog.

Yeah, the picture was def. uploaded to his real yfrog account. Even if that picture was edited (and there is no reason why it would have been), there was no reason to do that. Even Weiner has as much as admitted that it was uploaded (by someone else according to him).

Well, his fb account was hacked and most likely he had it linked to his twitter and photo account. A lot of people do...or at least they have it when they sign into one account they are signed into the other...or they have the same pw.

So that doesn't really prove anything except the hackers getting into his account and making mayhem.

This is more and more looking like a RightWing set-up.

The weird thing about that is that nothing was posted on his facebook. I know that yfrog works through your twitter account though and I know, personally, my fb and twitter passwords are the same.

I actually provided some of the screencaps in that post and had some back and forth with that guy tonight. He claims it's just a coincidence that he tweeted that stuff recently...Though, to be completely fair, he is answering anything asked of him tonight.

He might update his FB via twitter or through his phone and have them linked. So that when he signs into one it logs into the other one.

There are many ways that this could have happened.

Remember how the Gawker hack went through the internet and how many different websites and e-mails got hit because of accounts being linked and shared pws?

I think the same happened in this situation.

The thing is...the way that Breitbart is acting makes it seem like a set-up.

Yeah, I mean, something shady happened. Or he just accidentally uploaded a picture. In my opinion, there is zero chance it was intentional.

Zero intention on his end.

I don't even think it's his pic. He doesn't seem the type to wear that type of boxers. ;d

even if it was...what is the big deal?
It's like it was a nekkid pic (like we all wanted) or that she was underage.

Do we live in such a sex repressed society that this is big news and he deserves big condemnation?

That IMF guy was at least accused of sexual assault not having an affair.

My favorite was the people on twitter saying he deserved to get in trouble legally. Uh, for what exactly?
