A Breitbart "hoax", is it?

[reality_hammer]

The leftosphere came out hot and heavy in defense of Congressman Weiner in the past few days, claiming (of all things) that it was all a hoax perpetrated by people like Andrew Breitbart and the usual vast right-wing conspiracy machine

The leftosphere came out hot and heavy in defense of Congressman Weiner in the past few days...

Such as who? Loopy librul enclave Metafilter pretty much called him an idiot and threw him under the bus, and was very similar to the response they gave the Christopher Lee scandal.

Or maybe you mean the Daily Kos thing? Yeah, that article is satire.

So who is supporting or defending Weiner now that he's confessed to being a scumbucket?

Reread my comment. I'm not saying people didn't support him at first.

All of those were posted before yesterday, aka the day it was known for sure that it actually was Weiner. Try looking for people saying similar things after Weiner came clean. Well, clean-ish.

Perhaps you should re-read my original post? You seem to be a bit confused.

I like this part:

"I don't believe that scenario. I accept every part of his confession except for the statement about the night of the 27th.

I wouldn't believe that part if Weiner personally called me up and insisted."

It reminds me of the people who kept on believing that Bill Clinton "did not have sex with that woman, Monica Lewinsky" even after he confessed.

Dang people, it wasn't your integrity in question until you kept going with the conspiracy theories even after the confession. :P
