Joy Behar's Vast Conspiracy: Someone 'Is Out to Get' Weiner
According to Joy Behar of 'The View,' someone is "out to get" Anthony Weiner because "they don't like his politics." Behar and her co-host Whoopi Goldberg advanced a conspiracy theory on Thursday and included the possibility that the Congressman could have been at a beach and had an innocent photo digitally manipulated. Meanwhile, Barbara Walters pronounced dead the political goal of the politician to one day be New York's mayor.
Offering cover for Weiner, Goldberg theorized, "Well, you know, if you have been on a beach in a bathing suit with friends- and I've had this happen, so I know that this can get done- where they take, you know, a little piece of you and they put you in a diaper or whatever."
[See video below. MP3 audio here.]
Journalist and co-host Walters asserted that the Representative, who has long discussed his dream of being mayor of New York City, "can forget about that." She added, "I do think his chances of being the mayor are diminished, if not abolished."
Walters dismissed the conspiracy theory, suggesting that such an idea was highly unlikely. She repeatedly endorsed the scenario that Weiner took a picture of his penis and inadvertently made it public on Twitter. This caused Behar to retort, "Well, somebody is out to get him, apparently, 'cause they don't like his politics."
A transcript of the June 2 segment, which aired at 11:02am EDT, follows:
[Clip of Weiner]
ANTHONY WEINER: It was someone sending a picture of a wiener on Weiner's account. It's one of the jokes I've been dealing with since I was five-years old.
JOY BEHAR: It never happened to Dick Cheney, I'll just say.
BARBARA WALTERS: One day a teapot, he next day a feather duster.
WHOOPI GOLDBERG: The question that people are asking is how could you not know whether it's you or not? I mean, I get how he's not sure.
BEHAR: Tell them your theory.
GOLDBERG: Well, you know, if you have been on a beach in a bathing suit with friends- and I've had this happen, so I know that this can get done- where they take, you know, a little piece of you and they put you in a diaper or whatever. It sounds cute but it's no fun because you look and you think, that looks like my belly button. Now, I'm sure he doesn't want to say I think that could be my package, I don't know.
WALTERS: That might happen with you.
GOLDBERG: Barbara, it happens with a lot of people.
WALTERS: But wait. Yes. But- If you are a congressman or a senator or someone in public life, you are very careful about that. You don't have somebody taking a picture of you from here to here.
GOLDBERG: No, no, no. I'm saying a photograph, if you've gone on a vacation-
WALTERS: I understand what you're saying.
GOLDBERG: If you're gone on vacation, they can take a picture of you from your page.
WALTERS: It depends who "they" is.
SHERRI SHEPHERD: Hackers.
GOLDBERG: Hackers. Yeah, that's what they can do.
WALTERS: But the hacker isn't with you when the picture is taken.
SHEPHERD: No, but if the hacker gets in your computer, Barbara, they can take any picture, Barbara, and photoshop it.
WALTERS: I realize that. I am talking about the original picture. You are careful not to have those pictures taken. I understand you can manipulate it.
BEHAR: But, Barbara, couldn't he be fully clothed almost and then they photocopy it [gestures] and put it like that?
WALTERS: Somebody has to go to a lot of effort to get you in trouble.
BEHAR: Well, somebody is out to get him, apparently, 'cause they don't like his politics.
ELISABETH HASSELBECK: This must not be a very flattering picture, because any man, if the picture of flattering, would claim this thing. Without a doubt! I have not seen it.
WALTERS: You know, if you're a congressman- I mean, the thing that I-
HASSELBECK: I mean, if the thing is big enough, they'd be like, "That is me!"
WALTERS: I think that's funny. But in the meantime- and it is funny- in the meantime, we have so much going on in this country and this, we are spending four days. This man, who was going to run for mayor, that- we can forget about that. And we are still-
BEHAR: Really? You think so? Just because of that?
WALTERS: Oh, I- I know Anthony Weiner. I said this the other day. He's a good congressman. He's very effective. He's very sarcastic. He may have a personality problem. But, that doesn't mean he shouldn't be elected. I do think his chances of being the mayor are diminished, if not abolished.
BEHAR: Well, I think I have to agree with you, because he was Twittering back these young women and apparently he has not denied that he has a picture of himself like this. He hasn't denied it.

Joy is correct in her
Submitted by dscott on Thu, 06/02/2011 - 10:40pm.
Joy is correct in her assertion, someone is out to get Weiner. Connect the dots there liberals, Weiner opposed Obama's compromise with the GOP on tax cuts for the wealthy but his mortal sin was NOT supporting Obama on his Israel policy of 1967 borders. Weiner vocally opposed Obama on this issue. No one but no one of the Democrat side of the fence is allowed to criticize the ONE. Why? Because when GOP members do, it's racist. So what happens when a Democrat opposes Obama on the same issue as the GOP? Kinda destroys the meme doesn't it?
What we are seeing here is Obama's time tested version of Chicago Politics, destroy your opposition if you can't overcome their resistance. The politics of personal destruction.
Really liberals, you should recognize the handy work of Obama's henchmen by now. Did you not pay attention when Rahm Emanual was chief of staff, remember the incident in the locker room, what happened to those Dems who didn't toe the line? You hitched your wagon to the Obama team and this is what you get. It's called Party Discipline. You don't get to criticize Obama IF you are supposedly on his team, that's disloyal and you know anyone who is disloyal is a traitor. Traitors get what they deserve.
Liberals, you have a choice, either fully support Obama or expect to have your dirty laundry hung out for everyone to see. Choices, choices, choices...so what's it going to be? You do realize the more power Obama consolidates the more harsh his retaliation becomes to those who are disloyal to his agenda? If you don't take Obama down now politically, what will happen to you in the future IF you cross him when he is even more powerful?

True, I am of the firm belief the major media organs should subject ALL congressional members to equal scrutiny. As such, they must be just as hard on Democrats as they have been hard on Republicans. But when it comes to handling a matter like this, there is a difference between responsibly exposing Weiner as opposed to repeatedly shoving it down our throats.
I understand Weiner's staff is now brandishing a poll reflecting a growing desire for more penetrating reporting of issues of enduring significance rather than the flogging of a short item with little depth and no legs.
As our lives continue to be stripped of their private parts by the ubiquitous camera--phone cams, lapel cams, shoe cams, pants cams, scam cams--I suggest others consider my personal solution for protecting the privacy of Li'l Jer: Find a "Really, Really, REALLY Small Man's Shoppe" and buy a tiny tweed jacket, bowler hat, and monocle. Remember, a single artful disguise is worth a thousand tweeted denials.

At best, it's a distraction Jer at Weiner's expense.
There is so much bad news going on out there on the financial and foreign policy fronts which hurt Obama's political standing that anything which could change the public's focus is being employed. The MSM could smother this story IF they chose do to so. They have for the moment, chosen not to.
The MSM doesn't want to cover Lybia like they did with Iraq because things aren't going so well for Obama's little non-war war. The MSM would rather not cover Obama's foot in mouth regarding Israel's borders highlighting his animosity with them and over friendliness with the Palestinians. The MSM is loathe to cover the mounting death toll in Afghanistan as this would reflect poorly on Obama's non-withdrawal withdrawal. The MSM doesn't want to talk why the about the price of gold is over $1,500/oz or the Dollar's weakness against the Euro and the Yen. Obama lost the battle of federal spending without limits since the debt limit vote went against him, no joy there. So what's left to talk about? The weather? With billions of dollars in damages mounting from the flooding and tornados the insurance companies are taking a big hit, which means they have to sell stocks and bonds to cover the payouts. All of this adds up to a huge cloud of misery and uncertainty.
Lament all you want but in the end, the MSM, not the cause of an enlightened public determines what actually is presented on the TV and in the Newspapers. Timing is everything and Weiner is just the ticket to misdirect the public attention for the moment.
IMO, this is not the reason anyway - I have already alluded to a far more sinister possibility on another post for the MSM's focus.
