Why Weiner needs to resign

[PhillySane]

Plain and simple, nobody's gonna stop talking about this until he does. It's sad. Every aspect of it. But he brought this on himself. He needs to step aside so we can all move on.
Sorry. Just calling it the way I see it.

[ingac70]

1. Nah. He needs to finish out his term....

then go away.

[PhillySane]

4. He'll just become ineffective

dare I say, impotent. No one will listen or care. He needs to go.

[ingac70]

12. All he needs to do is vote the way his constituents want him too.....

I don't know why people think bloviating on morning talk shows is being effective.

[Edweird]

2. So? His sex life is none of our business.

[PhillySane]

5. Exactly...

every time I look at him now I see a big giant boner.

[Edweird]

15. Your fantasies of erect penises are not Weiner's fault nor his problem.

[PhillySane]

19. Unfortunately

it isn't a fantasy. It's a picture of his erection that was posted on this board. He took it. He made it public. He is an ass.

[Edweird]

24. Did he send it to you? Do you believe that you are in any way an intended recipient of that pic?

I could be wrong, but I'm guessing the answer is 'no' for both - in which case it is none of your business.

[PhillySane]

27. It's posted on DU

I'm not a wimp. I look at shit here. He made that happen, not me.

[Edweird]

29. Are you claiming Anthony Weiner posted a pic of his penis on DU?

[PhillySane]

38. He put it into the public domain.

[Edweird]

44. Is it your assertion that he intended for it to be viewed by anyone other than one specific person

that is not you?
You're carrying on like he rented a billboard near your bedroom window with a pic of his penis on it. If you're so victimized by a 3rd-4th-20th hand duplicate of a pic that was not for you, to you or about you then you should seek legal representation. Tell them how hurt you were and how your shoes flew off after you fell down the stairs.

[PhillySane]

50. What about this don't you get?

If Anthony Weiner sent that dic pic to somebody, I don't give a fuck! He posted it on his friggin' Twitter account! How fuckin' dumb is that? I am not bothered by his dick. I'm bothered by his stupidity and his need to then lie about it afterwards! Those were his choices, not mine! He has become an embarrassment to the party AND congress because of his own dumbass actions! That's why he needs to go.

[Edweird]

58. You, sir, do NOT speak for 'the party'. What part of THAT do you NOT GET?

I am not the least bit emabarrased by Weiner. I support him a hell of a lot more than I do some others that allege to be Dems.

[PhillySane]

60. In fact

I do speak for the party.

[Edweird]

116. Yeah? Then you need to get with the program and see where people really stand on this -

not just what the DLC'ers see as an opportunity to attempt to force out a voice from the left. The overwhelming opinion is against you.

[Angry Dragon]

68. I don't believe he sent it to DU

if you have complaints about what is posted here then you need to talk to the poster

[PhillySane]

70. I'm not complaining that the picture was on DU

it's everywhere! That's the point. Mr. Weiner made that happen. Before you hit the send button, THINK!

[Angry Dragon]

86. I ponder a great deal and you might take the same advise

before you accuse someone of not thinking............

It would seem that they media has great interest in democratic sexual organs
but when it comes to republican sexual organs they find little to talk about
perhaps you should ask them why this is........

On one hand you have a man that is proud of his penis and wants to share it with the world and on the other you have a man that hires prostitutes so he can dress up in diapers so he can be treated as a baby. I would be afraid of a Senator that thought of himself as a baby making decisions that affect my life.

This latest sexual media frenzy is a huge distraction, I agree, but it is the media that is feeding it and leaving the real issues on the floor so no one talks about them. Congress does not want to deal with them anyway.

I do not believe it has come out that he asked anyone for sex. I would ask you which is worse, sharing erotic pictures with people or trying to destroy this country by taking the rights and freedoms away from the American people?? I know which my answer would be.

Ponder that............

[PhillySane]

99. I don't care what any of them do in their spare time

Truly. This isn't about Weiner's sexual self. It's about distraction. Seriously. Do you want this guy hugging Michelle Obama at the next fundraising dinner? Come on.

[Angry Dragon]

102. It is a distraction

The only person that should be concerned who hugs Michele should be Michele.

I do not know what the answer is. Should we have standards for elected officials?? Would they be applied uniformly?? Should we demand that any politician that lies be told to resign?? And yes the lie is worse than the act in this case. Did he hurt any one besides himself, his wife, his family?? He disappointed a lot of people but did he hurt them??

Will this country be better off if he resigns?? No way to know unless he resigns.............

[tritsofme]

8. That's not the argument he chose to make.

That would have been a sensible argument and probably would have allowed him to ride out the storm.

Instead he chose to stand up and lie to the cameras. Stick a fork in Weiner, he's done.

[Edweird]

20. It's still none of your business.

[PhillySane]

23. Sorry, but

you can't say that anymore. He made it our business. He posted the pictures on the internet. Then lied. It is our business, he allowed it to be. Forced it on us in a way.

[Edweird]

28. He 'forced it on you'? Seriously? Was he skulking around the subway @ 2am in a trenchcoat?

No. It is completely and totally none of your concern whatsoever.

[gkhouston]

35. No, he hit "reply all" to an email titled "MAKE MORE PENIS!!!!" saying "OMG it works!" n/t

[PhillySane]

42. First, you have no right to decide what is or isn't MY concern

Anthony Weiner took a picture of his dick. That's not my concern. Anthony Weiner posted it on a public account on the Internet and then lied about it. That IS my concern. Anthony Weiner is doing damage to his office and the Democratic party as a result of his highly stupid and inappropriate actions. That is my concern as well. Do not tell me what is or isn't my concern. Your beginning to sound a little fascist.

[Edweird]

52. I can say with near certainty that anything related to Weiner's sex life does not involve you in any

way, shape or form. In other words, it's none of your business. Additionally, any comments about his sex life - which we have established does not pertain to you - are likewise none of your business. If you feel he is unfit for office then vote him out - IF you happen to live in his district. Perhaps a little counseling is needed to help you cope with a potentially unhealthy obsession with a certain legislator's reproductive organ.

[PhillySane]

62. No

it, perhaps, is his obsession, not mine. And perhaps, the fact that he lied as well is an indication of HIS sickness. Not mine. And perhaps you need to ask someone where the train to reality leaves off and when.

[pintobean]

39. It is our business

We pay him. We get to set the standards for our elected officials. Sexting and lying do not come anywhere near those standards. He's done.

[Lizzie Poppet]

36. Agreed. But the fact that he's a liar IS.

Weiner lied about what happened for days. That's what people should be upset about, not his frat-boy antics.

[Edweird]

118. He lied about his sex life - which is none of your business anyway. You've never lied about yours?

To anyone? Ever?
He's human just like you.

[metalbot]

98. His sex life isn't...

...but his judgement is.

[Edweird]

119. Then don't vote for him if you feel he's unfit.

[Tx4obama]

3. Some of the women that have been receiving sexting messages from REBPUBLICANS

need to speak up now - and then the media will have something new to talk about.

It is definitely time for a good REPUBLICAN scandal right now :)

[LiberalLoner]

10. Well, that's an idea, some of us could get some fake hot photos and start texting

R's to try to entrap them. I guess it would be the patriotic thing to do. But it won't be me. I was willing to put my life on the line for my country once, sure, but some sacrifices are just beyond what I can bear.

[Tx4obama]

37. I'm sure there is no reason for entrapment. There must be someone out there NOW with messages and

photos from at least one REPUBLICAN :)

Larry Flint was just on Maddow's show, I wish he had announced another MILLION dollar reward for anyone exposing a high office government official like he did when Livingston and Vitter were exposed.

[Enthusiast]

115. I would welcome a new GOP sex scandal.

The media would have to STFU or cover the GOP scandal too.

[RandomThoughts]

6. Thats fine, talk about it for years.

Decades if you like. Until smears have no impact on society, and are not used by smear merchants to try and control a population. And until the smear merchants are investigated for the actions they are doing against society and many people.

Talk about it all you like. Every day if you want.

But don't back down to smear merchants. Or you are giving them the ability to decide what society should be like.






And while you talk about titillating gossip about people talking about sex, note your hypocrisy.

It adds some humor.

And the beer and travel money will be sent.

17. quite a media file you got there

got any good ideas?

[RandomThoughts]

22. I thought the "rulers of you all"

Was a great comment on how do you measure up.

Seriously, do you see the hypocrisy.


Need a little humor once in awhile.

[PhillySane]

25. I'm sorry

my brain is a little foggy from all the cock shots I've been looking at lately. Could you explain?

[RandomThoughts]

47. Not really, it is a rare moment of a bad joke.

To counter another bad joke in a small context of that song.

If you don't see the bad joke, or the other bad joke, then that is far better, but for those that saw a bad joke in the song, I figured I would correct that with a different bad joke. I usually just ignore it, but it is a bit of a brain smasher, so figured it needed a different perspective.

But really the fixation on sex by the news, and the use of sex to humiliate people, or use it against people is a problem that is limiting good leadership when everyone has flaws, and anyone can be smeared.

And if we could get the use of paparazzi, smears, and entrapments for smears, out of society, then thousands of people being held back from doing what they think is better would be able to have a bit more influence, by knowing they don't have to fear smears.


But anyways, there is a problem with the use of humiliation and smears used against people. And areas of removal of constitutional rights used to get those smears.

[PhillySane]

56. I agree with the use of smears argument you make

but, I feel, in this case, Mr. Weiner smeared himself. He has no one but himself to blame. And I don't have a problem with anyone playing with, experimenting with, or sharing their sexuality. When you decide to make it public, which he did, be brave enough to own up to it. Which he didn't. If he had come out and said, "You know what, that is my johnson, and I am damn proud of it". I'd be on his side right now. He didn't do that though. Too bad.

[RandomThoughts]

82. You don't understand the concepts of justice.

how can you call yourself sane.

[PhillySane]

85. Well, now

why don't you go ahead and explain it King of Sanity.

[RandomThoughts]

106. I already did many times, you weren't listening.

[PhillySane]

108. there are many different forms of justice

some we act out on ourselves

[RandomThoughts]

51. Good ideas about what?

I am due beer and travel money, and correcting that is a good idea.

[PhillySane]

59. What a ya got?

[RandomThoughts]

64. Why would you think I might have a good idea you would want to hear.

And not know that I am due beer and travel money and correct that.

Can you explain that.

[PhillySane]

67. Actually

all of your ideas are good ones.

[RandomThoughts]

77. I know what you think.

[PhillySane]

84. Psychic

[RandomThoughts]

107. Obvious

[robinlynne]

7. after Clarence Thomas resigns, let's talk.

[think]

31. and after David Vitter resigns as well and after Bush

admits he took America to war based on lies.....

[orion007]

43. We as parents have been known to say to our kids "just because

Johnny or Kathy does it doesn't make it right",and using these excuses for Weiner's obsession/behavior are insulting and hypocritical to our children.
Shameful,

[think]

61. I don't care about Anthony's sex life

I care about a getting our government out of the hands of mad men. You can play all nice if you like. The republicans don't and won't. If you want to live in a feudal society that's your choice. I already played nice during the bush era and have to live with the fact we killed hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis and wasted trillions of our tax money on a war based on lies.

I can get over the penis much quicker than the death of iraqi children.....

[orion007]

69. Weiner and Israel...anti -human rights with the Palestian children

In May 2006, Weiner attempted to bar entry by the Palestinian delegation to the United Nations.<27> He claimed that Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas did not represent the PLO, and implied that this was because the group is listed as a terrorist organization by the US State Department. Weiner further stated that the delegation "should start packing their little Palestinian terrorist bags." Weiner went on to claim that Human Rights Watch, the New York Times, and, in particular, Amnesty International are biased against Israel.

[ozone_man]

80. Now that cound sway my opinion.

It is none of my business if he is twittering or flirting online, but I can't support anyone who has such an anti-Palestian position. Of course NY congressman may find it difficult to be elected being pro-Palestinian. Still, I vote my conscience. Even Obama did not win my vote, too beholden to his biggest corporate contributor Goldman Sachs.

[robinlynne]

55. yep.

[spanone]

9. the media and the right wing won't stop till they get their resignation

all the more reason to hang in there anthony

[Joe the Revelator]

11. What a shitty argument

People will talk...let them talk. It'll be over by Halloween.

[tblue37]

13. Clinton weathered worse--and the Repubs were hurt politically by *their* behavior. nt

[wickerwoman]

30. +1.

He screwed up. He apologized sincerely.

The media and Republicans continuing to hammer him just makes them look petty and vindictive.

Investigate. If he didn't abuse his position and didn't break any laws, move on.

[peacetalksforall]

14. op - I do not agree with you. It's way to early to demand that. Shades of the Clinton takeout.

[PhillySane]

21. I was highly disappointed by him too

fortunately, for the rest of us, there were no photos taken. I don't need my elected official to double as porn stars.

[wickerwoman]

33. Are you in his district?

If so, why don't you just vote against him instead of assuming that you speak for 654,000 other people who maybe don't give a crap what he does in his free time as long as he continues to represent their interests.

[PhillySane]

40. Okay

So, if Nancy Pelosi had naked photos of her that SHE posted on the internet herself, that wouldn't be a distraction to the party?

[wickerwoman]

46. The problem isn't the photos.

It's the obsessive and disproportionate attention they receive.

The solution isn't to cave to pressure. All that does is prove that this tactic works and encourage even more desperate panty sniffing from fourth tier "journalists" desperate for their 15 minutes.

The solution is to stop paying attention to them. And to write to your local media and ask them to stop paying attention to them.

I mean, it's not like the economy is in such amazing shape and we've achieved world peace, solved the energy crisis and climate change, cured AIDS and eliminated poverty, so we have nothing else to worry about besides a slightly vain but otherwise bright and effective man sending rude pictures to groupies.

[PhillySane]

63. Do you think they should leave poor Arnold alone? John Edwards?

the French guy? Just curious?

[wickerwoman]

79. Arnold and Edwards, yes,

unless they were using state resources to screw around, in which case I say prosecute away.

Dominique Strauss Kahn committed a crime- attempted rape. So yes, he should be prosecuted.

Anthony Weiner, as far as we know, did not use state resources and did not commit a crime. If evidence emerges that he did either of those things, I will be happy to give a shit. For the moment, I'm afraid I just don't.

[PhillySane]

83. How do you know anyone did anything wrong

your assumption is based on purely the media's coverage. The courts have not decided on any of these yet?

[wickerwoman]

87. Exactly.

I don't have a problem with the ethics investigation on Weiner (or on Schwarzenegger or Edwards). If it turns out they misused funds then throw the book at them.

But it's way too early to say "Weiner must resign" when it hasn't even been alleged that he did anything illegal.

[PhillySane]

94. And Kahn?

Hasn't the media judged him already before his day in court? Or is it just cause he's French?

[wickerwoman]

101. Is this really *that* hard to understand?

Nobody has accused Anthony Weiner of doing anything even vaguely illegal. He is the subject of an ethics investigation which may or may not uncover evidence of wrongdoing. If it does and indictments are handed down, then, depending on the strength of the case, it might be appropriate to suggest that Weiner step down to focus on his defense.

Domnique Strauss Kahn was accused of attempted rape by a maid and is in the middle of an ongoing prosecution. There is absolutely heaps of evidence that he is guilty of committing a felony assault.

These situations are not remotely equivalent.

[PhillySane]

104. But you yourself

have declared the media at fault here. Kahn has been buried by them already, and you have willingly taken their pill. Why, I have no idea. So, it really isn't about the media, it's about our own personal beliefs. We make our own judgements based on what we hear. That's what the media's job is. To tell us, so we can make our own judgement. It's not their fault that Anthony Weiner goofed and sent his picture out into the public sphere. HE did that. Not them. And, maybe he didn't break any laws. It's not about laws. It's about judgement. One's own personal judgement and the consequences thereafter.

Posted this elsewhere:
He should just "hang in" there. Maybe give us a new pic every week or so. We'd all be so proud of our Weiner. Wouldn't we?
I think he needs some time off. Spend it with his wife. Get to know her a little. Screw what we want or need. I think he needs to worry a little about himself.

[peacetalksforall]

90. Who should leave them alone? Everyone who minds their own business. Deeds are.

done. Weiner ranks at the lowest end among offenders - at this moment in time. He is a dynamite politician and still can be one.

Judge not etc.

16. Nope. nt

[hobbit709]

18. Has Diaper Dave resigned?

[orion007]

26. I agree and what about our teenagers? They're getting arrested

for sexting their peers and now they see so many adults explaining away Weiner's sick behavior as "it's none of my business", it's between him and his wife, or his constitutes.

What hypocrisy and loss of our moral compass.

[PhillySane]

34. It is hypocrisy

and that is the crux of the argument. We can't have it both ways. If you dislike Arnold for impregnating his housekeeper, you can't turn a blind eye to Mr. "look at me ladies". I don't have a problem with people acting on their sexual impulses. But, when YOU decide to make it public, which he did, then you need to own up to it. If it becomes a distraction to your party, your piers, you need to step aside. Spitzer did it. He's fine now, and I'm fine with him. Anthony needs to look for another line of work.

[orion007]

41. Spitzer is an excellent example and he is what I call someone

who actually took responsibility for his actions and resigned and by doing so has had a stunning comeback and it will be interesting to see if he ever runs for office again.
I feel that Spitzer learned humility, something that Weiner is in need of.

Anthony can stay home and care for the baby that is supposedly on its way.

[PhillySane]

45. Yea

just hide the computers and smartphones.

[Life Long Dem]

53. Repubs believe they can have it both ways.

The repubs are pressuring Weiner to resign but not for Vitter.

Don't let the repubs get there way.

[Raine]

32. Weiner should resign now let things cool off. Then run the next time

and let the voters.

[MikeW]

48. dont know

He will be treated like he's radioactive if he stays for another term.

Most likely they'll shut him out of committee appointments as well.

[Canuckistanian]

49. Nobody stopped talking about Bill Clinton

He didn't quit. It's one of the things I admire most about him.

[WolverineDG]

54. No

What needs to happen is for America, & apparently that includes many on DU, to take a nice big helping of "Grow the Fuck Up" & stop acting like a combination of middle school kids & pearl clutchers when it comes to sex.

dg

[PhillySane]

65. So

married congressman, who hold high office, should not grow the fuck up?

[WolverineDG]

76. :sigh:

It's a private matter, no crimes were broken. Stop acting all high & mighty & offended because a man took a picture of himself & posted it on the internet.

dg

[PhillySane]

89. I don't care that he took a picture of his penis

I've done it too. Shared it with friends. I'm okay with that. Get it?

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

57. Are you in his CD or are you his wife? If not, your opinion doesn't matter. nt

[PhillySane]

72. Beg to differ

EVERYONE'S OPINION MATTERS!

[craigmatic]

66. So what if they talk? He consistently stands up to the repubs. This will go away in a week or 2.

[ironrooster]

71. i agree. do people on this board know what blackmail is?

do you guys understand that the politician (he is just a politician) has been compromised?
do you understand that politicians can be made into puppets by having something on them?

this isn't about weiner (the man) - it's about his capacity to serve his constituents' best interests.
that's what we want politicians to do - represent our interests.
so it's not like some neighbor of yours "sexting" it's about an elected politician possibly getting a phone call at 3am
in the morning "suggesting" how he should vote in the morning.

hell - we don't even know if what has been uncovered is the worst
of it. he lied thus far - why not lie more?

why the fuck do not otherwise sane people around here comprehend the severity of the damage that has been done?
ferchrissakes - he isn't a "private" citizen! he doesn't get a pass on this.

[PhillySane]

75. Nailed it

[tularetom]

74. The standards have already been set - he should not resign

He should follow the example set by Vitter, Newt Gingrich and others and just keep doing his job.

If I were a republican I would be sitting back laughing my ass off at how people on this progressive Democratic forum are advocating the resignation of one of the most progressive Democrats in congress for doing something far less egregious and offensive than some of the shit my party's people have pulled over the years.

If you really think the republicans (and their friends in the liberal media) are going to cut us any slack because we throw Weiner to the dogs if have a bridge I want to sell you. They're laughing at you right now because you fell right into the trap they set for you.

IMO Weiner committed only one potentially fatal faux pas - he apologized to that piece of shit andrew brainfart, but that isn't reason enough for me to want him gone. Hopefully he'll realize he fucked up by doing that and not repeat the mistake.

Congressional morality standards are in the shitter thanks primarily to our liberal media's refusal to pursue republican's little adventures. Weiner is no better and no worse in this regard than many of his fellow elected officials.

[ironrooster]

81. no. the power structure in the US is not symmetrical.

repubs DO NOT represent who they purport to represent - so the rules ARE DIFFERENT for them.

Let me explain: the repubs are already compromised and do their masters' bidding. is that what you want for us?

[tularetom]

88. Are you asking if I want to cut the legs out from the loudest progressive voices

just so I can say "we're better than them"?

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. We can crucify Rep. Weiner while they sit around laughing, destroying the American middle class with our help.

We're playing by the Marquis of Queensbury rules while they're kicking us in the nuts. In this case the stakes are so high that the ends DO justify the means. If I were Rep Weiner, I'd tell the republicans as well as the spineless Dems who are having fainting spells, I'm not leaving.

[PhillySane]

92. The problem is

this story is now bigger than him (pardon the pun) and won't stop until he is gone. I don't really want him to go. But, you know, sometimes the noble thing to do, the right thing to do (and watch out cause here comes another one) is to fall on your own sword.

[tularetom]

93. OK if we're gonna engage in bad metaphors

We should not throw him to the dogs, under the bus or anywhere else. That's just what they want - is doing their dirty work for them.

We should instead (wait for it) circle the wagons around him.

[PhillySane]

96. And reward

his idiotic behavior?

[tularetom]

100. Hey, I don't make the rules

His behavior is indeed idiotic, but as I said before, the standards are already set waaay low. Weiner is no worse than others in congress and as long as nobody is calling for the resignation of a scumbag like vitter, Weiner should stay as well.

If we want to raise the bar (another trite phrase) it should be raised for everybody. I will demand Weiner's resignation when I hear a similar outcry from the republicans and the pundits for vitter's.

[ironrooster]

95. you are assuming that weiner will still be able to be productive -

he won't - for any number of reasons that have already been stated. this could be like the gulf oil disaster
5k barrels - oops no... 15k - oops... i meant 2 million. trickle, trickle. we don't know the extent of this steaming pile
embarrassment - and you won't hear it from weiner himself because the man is obviously prone to lying. i guess we'll just
have to wait see picture of him actually banging a hooker...courtesy of bbart.

[PhillySane]

97. I actually was gonna hang with him (pardon the pun, again)

until today's picture surfaced. I really don't need to see anymore. It's over. Please. Before it get's worse. I don't have a problem with him personally. Dude, go for it! You just can't be a congressman anymore. Sorry.

[tnlefty]

91. If you say so..

Jesus Christ I thought that us southerners were wimps...apparently not.

Carry on....

[ClarkUSA]

103. I can't wait for months of House Ethics Committee testimony by Weiner's Women!!

Just think what will happen if he doesn't resign... the nation's voters can all look forward to a few more months of exciting revelations aka. more pics of Weiner's nekkid erect weiner and bulging pecs/shorts as well as the juicy contents of the untold amount of .pdf files of his sexting after the House Ethics Committee investigation of Weiner gets rolling.

Wow. That should be real fun for all of us Democrats! Just imagine the kind of testimony by Weiner's Women that will no doubt be leaked daily to the media by gleeful Republicans! Fun, fun, fun!

And won't all of this set up such a wonderfully warm and conducive environment for the Democratic Party's messaging and recruitment campaign as Pelosi tries hard to take back the House in 2012?

Only a killjoy would want Weiner to resign. :sarcasm:

[Zax2me]

105. To keep people from making fools of themselves defending him?

No, wait.
Then I would not have entertainment.

[RiverStone]

109. Agreed - it will settle in more obviously over the next 2-3 days

But my guess is he will be a public official no more by week's end.

And yes, it's very sad we lost a very articulate fighter, with amazingly poor judgement.

[Bozita]

110. You're wrong. This photo shows the reason ...

[Nye Bevan]

111. Are you still talking about Larry Craig?

He didn't resign.

[Hippo_Tron]

112. I just went to the New York Times, MSNBC, CNN, and Fox News websites

And only on one of those was Anthony Weiner still headline news and not relegated to the politics section. I think you can guess which one.

Give it two to three weeks and nobody will give a rat's ass about Anthony Weiner anymore. Fox news may still be talking about it, but it's either that or speculating on why Obama took so long to release his long form birth certificate.
