57. If Roger Stone was in ANY way involved, its bogus as hell.

Nov 2017

His specialty in politics for decades is what he himself refers to as “rat-fucking.”

I felt as though I smelled a rat when this story came out of KABC-AM, a right-wing talk station here in LA. Wouldn’t surprise me at all if he had friends there in his surely vast and VILE-as-sin world of contacts that stretch across the globe - from the Russians to Julian Assange and more human vermin.

You’ve heard of the fabled seventh level of Hell? There will have to be a special seven-HUNDREDTH level of Hell excavated and developed, just for him.

Possibly Al doesn't actually remember the incident-it was eight years ago. Ken Burch Nov 2017 #62

This is reminiscent of the right-wingers saying the Roy Moore yearbook signature is fake oberliner Nov 2017 #3

How do you know? Kingofalldems Nov 2017 #8

The similarity of questioning the accuser and her claims oberliner Nov 2017 #19

Well the Moore accusers aren't birther pushing Hannity show Trump trash. Hassin Bin Sober Nov 2017 #63

Yeah, they checked yearbook's metadata file and saw when it was modified and whose name was removed L. Coyote Nov 2017 #10

Actually it's easier to edit metadata FBaggins Nov 2017 #56

Are you saying there is a conspiracy to make it appear there is a conspiracy? L. Coyote Nov 2017 #69

Not even close FBaggins Nov 2017 #72

You certainly have a lot of concern over the Franken story. rzemanfl Nov 2017 #11

Yep. Kingofalldems Nov 2017 #12

Absolutely oberliner Nov 2017 #18

We should care about everyone regardless n/t FreeState Nov 2017 #21

No surprise though, is it. Eliot Rosewater Nov 2017 #31

I don't know... califootman Nov 2017 #4

"Modified" could mean anything, including cropping. WhiskeyGrinder Nov 2017 #5

The metadata indicates that it was modified on July 1st, 2009 - Coleman concedes! L. Coyote Nov 2017 #6

Holy shit orangecrush Nov 2017 #42

So Franken is lying? FBaggins Nov 2017 #65

You are misunderstanding the story. L. Coyote Nov 2017 #68

"It's obvious how Leeann would feel violated by that picture" FBaggins Nov 2017 #71

Merely brightening the image would be a modification. VOX Nov 2017 #7

Or breitbarting the image... Blue Owl Nov 2017 #67

Oh, no doubt there. VOX Nov 2017 #70

Its not photoshopped, Franken has said as much. Agschmid Nov 2017 #9

He gets it loyalsister Nov 2017 #13

Exactly. He admits it was in bad taste. mainer Nov 2017 #14

I don't see why questions are necessary loyalsister Nov 2017 #20

Even if it is a distortion of what actually happened ? OnDoutside Nov 2017 #23

That's only relevant if someone is pursueing prosecution or something loyalsister Nov 2017 #26

That's the kind of scorched earth attitude that cannot differentiate between a paedo and what OnDoutside Nov 2017 #29

No one who says it's okay to demean women loyalsister Nov 2017 #34

Even in the current lynch mob climate, there's a world of a difference OnDoutside Nov 2017 #59

This isn't criminal court loyalsister Nov 2017 #61

Indeed it isn't, which is why I referred to it as OnDoutside Nov 2017 #64

The #metoo movement is well on its way to jumping the shark. BannonsLiver Nov 2017 #25

And those who know they are guilty breathe a sigh of relief loyalsister Nov 2017 #28

Please check your spelling. n/t rzemanfl Nov 2017 #36

I think all he's saying right now is that the the photographers name and GPS location of the pic octoberlib Nov 2017 #17

The EXIF data was edited - on the DAY that Coleman conceded the race to Franken csziggy Nov 2017 #27

So no one orangecrush Nov 2017 #44

The owner of the Twitter account is attempting to find the photographer csziggy Nov 2017 #45

Yes orangecrush Nov 2017 #60

That second comment's based on a debunked source: Denzil_DC Nov 2017 #47

Thanks - I edited that comment out of my message nt csziggy Nov 2017 #48

Cool. Denzil_DC Nov 2017 #49

The main thread - from the Twitter link in the OP csziggy Nov 2017 #22

Can we all agree anyone can be anything on Twitter? moriah Nov 2017 #24

So is the EXIF data he tweeted all fake? mainer Nov 2017 #30

You can take any image and change the EXIF data Lee-Lee Nov 2017 #33

I don't know, I haven't dug into the photograph myself. moriah Nov 2017 #35

So, he's just calling for an investigation for fun? kcr Nov 2017 #37

I think he's calling it to call the bluff about Beverly Young Nelson wanting... moriah Nov 2017 #43

True or false (below)? Or is he still throwing nonsense on Twitter? mainer Nov 2017 #38

I haven't examined the data to tell you. moriah Nov 2017 #40

Unless he got the document from the source it means literally nothing Lee-Lee Nov 2017 #32

I think he took it from the accuser's website mainer Nov 2017 #39

Also, if they did alter it, she is still a liar spotthebird Nov 2017 #41

What are you talking about? kcr Nov 2017 #50

Als brother Owen was on that USO tour riverwalker Nov 2017 #52

ferchrissake, Franken does not deny that the incident happened as shown in the pic. paulkienitz Nov 2017 #53

The metadata also shows the photo was taken at 5:19 pm on 12/21/06, not at night on Christmas Eve. SunSeeker Nov 2017 #58

Not exactly. What it shows (assuming it was not altered) Ms. Toad Nov 2017 #73

As an Emmy-winning photographer (which does not make me better than any other), here is my read .. DemoTex Nov 2017 #66

Well, well, well Hekate Nov 2017 #54

Franken hasn't disputed the authenticity of the photo VMA131Marine Nov 2017 #55
