UPDATE: Busted Brietbart FAKED IT (try and act surprised)

The pic isn't fake, but the screen grab of Congressman Weiner's twitter page was fake. What bullshit!
hat tip to Kossack Eileen B

Forensic analysis of the screen grab shows...
big shock: it's been manipulated. Not the yfrog photo, but the SCREEN GRAB itself that Brietbart is posting as "proof."

What was altered? The name "RepWeiner." Here's the proof:

Notice how the name RepWeiner is not only the brightest spot, but devoid of spatterings of color? That indicates that specific area -- the name -- has been saved more times than the rest of the image.

1. I want to see Breitbart and his ilk sued and cuffed.

[Parker CA]

10. Absolutely. This guy is beyond despicable. nt

[ProfessionalLeftist]

22. They'd have to take Martin Bashir too

That'd be a good thing. These guys are birds of a feather. Both of them belong in prison.

[xchrom]

2. Here's my thought - he can let go of the Weiner -

I'm not so sure the Weiner is gonna lust go
Of him.

[aquart]

11. Oh, that typo is just so wrong.

[The Doctor.]

13. Ummm... Freudian typo?

[xchrom]

15. lol -- that was very bad of me. touch screens are not my friend. nt

[pacalo]

3. What a pathetic individual.

[pansypoo53219]

4. i want him sued to poverty!

need welfare AND NOT GET IT!

[calimary]

31. So do I, plus I want the "taste of his own medicine, see how he likes it" treatment

given to him - UP THE YING-YANG. Til he screams for mercy - AND NOT GET IT!

This guy is only allowed to continue his wanton attacks - BECAUSE THERE ARE NO CONSEQUENCES. Because there is no one fighting back, or suing him, or holding him accountable, or teaching him a good, hard, painful, and hopefully exhorbitantly expensive lesson. It has to be SO FRICKIN' PUNITIVE that even this bastard thinks twice before trying to pull anything else.

NO pity, NO mercy. NONE.

[zappaman]

5. whatta dick.

Brietbart...not the photo...

[The Doctor.]

14. Hate to say it, but that's 'misandry'.

Nothin' personal. And frankly, I absolutely agree about your assessment. Unfortunately, 'sexist' terms are not appreciated on DU.

If we can't have 'sexist' terminology of one kind, then we really shouldn't have the other kind of derogatory adjectives either.

I took exception to your post. Not because I disagree, but because if we're going to be gender sensitive, it would be wrong to only include one gender.

Cheers 'Z'.

[zappaman]

30. thanks

that actual made me laugh!

[Old and In the Way]

6. Is this grounds for another defamation of character suit?

If so, I hope Weiner goes for the gusto.

[Historic NY]

7. Is it identifiable???

[GReedDiamond]

8. Andrew Breitbart is the new & upcoming Supreme Practitioner...

...of Lying-Ass Political Propaganda, to the extreme right of KKKarl Rove.

Plus, everybody should stay away from "facebook."

It is a slow form of poison.

[EFerrari]

9. Christ, he's not even a very good fraud. n/t

[aquart]

12. Yet Acorn is gone.

He's a terrorist fifth columnist working within our country to destroy us. And he will not stop voluntarily.

[mod mom]

21. +1

[malaise]

18. He should be in prison

:puke:

[rucky]

16. So how many hoaxes can you put out before you lose all credibility?

Seriously, why does anybody listen to anything this asswipe says - even for a nanosecond?

[Taverner]

26. Lately he's been getting better gigs too

A few years ago, and he was on Rush, Savage, Druge and Fox

Now he's on CNN, MSNBC, Real Time, HuffPo, etc

[SpiralHawk]

17. It is evil (R) to deliberately lie to people (R)

Why do Republicon Family Values embrace the evil act of lying?

[Scuba]

19. His masters told him to go after Anthony Weiner, and his little pea-brain came up with that. n/t

[Stevenmarc]

20. I'm sure anyone who ever slept with Breitbart is pretty proficient in faking it too

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

24. Ask Matt Drudge (n/m)

[backscatter712]

23. Breitbart faking evidence for one of his smears?

[Taverner]

25. Shouldn't Brietbart be indicted on FRAUD????

I swear to dog, if I ever see his face he'll have a knuckle sandwich to accompany it within seconds

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

27. So was his account hacked, or is the screen grab faked?

If he was hacked, he needs go to the FBI with it......not just pay lip service and hopes it goes away.

[graywarrior]

28. Smells like Koch to me

[sethgrogen]

35. nice!

[sethgrogen]

29. i need verifiable proof.

Your link doesn't provide it if I click on it. What am I doing wrong?

[SoapBox]

This is criminal!!!!

[fascisthunter]

33. and he Works indirectly for the Republican Party

funny how they act just as fascist described do in order to gain power. People like him and those that secretly pay him are nothing but anti-democratic unamerican fascist filth...

[southernyankeebelle]

34. Oh Britefart is at it again. He will never be a real journalist if he keeps lying.
