  • best part about this scandal? Everyone's looking up Weiner. He's gotta fix his private life, but let me tell you his popularity could be growing.

  • This Weiner ... He looks like a Ostrich ... his wife runs around the country  with Hillary , " a pool cleaner " guess who married these two ...?

    Bill Clinton... Not a good sign.

    Huma is leaving , this ostrich home alone... Weiner tweeting sex photos. There's more going on here... wait and see.

    Leave Huma , now... your a dummy if U don't ... Stay with Hillary, she'll be more faithful...

  • Weinger ignorance is to politicians what idle hands are to the devil. Both provide the workshop for the creation of evil. Another liar , Weiner is by nature a liar.

    Our current political system ensures not that the worst will get on top , though they often do , but that the best will never even apply. Your on Twitter, your wife layed up in a hotel with Hillary " another pool cleaner"

    Wax on Weiner , tweet that winnie. Just don't darken our towels again. By By

  • There once was a congressman named Weiner,

    Who had a very contentious demeanor.

    He snapped a pic of his prick,

    and sent it to this chick.

    Now his career is on it's way to the cleaners.

  • TWITTERING DICK PIC'S COME ON WEINER .AND THE INSURANCE INDUSTRY CREATES JOBS ASSHOLE.SOMETHING YOU LIBERAL ASSHOLES ARE AGAINST

  • these people are just slime. absolutely zero integrity

  • Rep Weiner is as real as it gets! President Weiner all the way!

  • Less Pussies! More Weiners!

  • @M4357R0

    yes! haha

  • WEINER for President!

  • Weiner is the truth!

  • Anthony Weiner rocks! There's no two ways about it. Here's a person who actuall represents people before corporations.

  • Do I hear a President Weiner???

  • OOOOOOOHH I AM SO SCARED. IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN THERE I WOULD HAVE LOOKED OVER AT THE SPEAKER AND SAID WELL FUCKKKKK YOU THEN THE MAN THAT GOT MAD AT HIM THEN SAID AND FUCK YOUUUUUUUUUU. THEN WITH 2 MIDDLE FINGERS LOOKED OVER AT THE WHOLE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND SAID AND FUCK YOUUUUUU AND THEN WALKED OUT.

  • lmao

  • Elbow form the sky!

  • Also, if the freedom of speech didn't protect defamation and slanderous speech, why was Joe Wilson not censored and removed? All he got was a bunch of bad media, so nope, I don't really think your argument holds up. It is only to prevent incitation of violence. So, good try, but not really, because your argument is simply flawed. You seem to think that you can fool people with a fallacy. True applying the freedom of speech to all cases such as this, rather than being a casuist. Try again.

  • @fansoffloyd, the freedom of speech in the first amendment does in fact protect the comment. The only thing the freedom of speech doesn't protect is incitations of violence. Also, the Republicans are in fact pretty much owned by any big business, and it's well known that the Republican party likes money. Wholly owned subsidiary is not slander, as it's not defaming them, it's simply stating their desire to keep money, which is obviously true. I think you are the ignorant, and don't realize it.

  • this guy would have been Soooo Badass!!! if only his last name weren't Weiner :(

    why couldn't his name be something like Anthony Badass ChuckNorris :(

  • @failblorg I think only someone as badass as him can make the last name Weiner awesome!

  • @failblorg A rose by any other name would smell as sweet. Weiner is a boss and he takes out the trash. LOL what a guy!

  • Poor widdle Repubs didn't like being called on the truth. Eff them.

    Go Anthony Weiner!

  • Someone should tell Boner, Ryan and the rest of that right wing clan that there's a middle class in this country and they need help! Maybe they could for one minute stop being yes men for the wealthy elite and give a damn about the rest of America!

  • the clerk will report the TRUTH dammit

  • look at all the ass-hats shuffling papers around trying to look busy. Our tax dollars hard at work.

  • Weiner needs to sober up! This was an alcoholic rant straight up!

  • Anthony Weiner should occupy the cell next to Madoff and Pollard along with Lautenburg and Lieberman.. Both of which are Loyal to a foreign nation before America. Using US politics to make themselves look more of an American WHILE STEALING OUR TAXES FOR AN ILLEGAL OCCUPATION OF 60 YEARS.. WHEN I THINK OF JEWS IN POLITICS I THINK OF BERNARD MADOFF AND JONATHAN POLLARD...Ultimate conjob of 300 million by a group of AIPAC lobbyists...

  • @OccupationSurvivor how do you sleep at night?!

  • @yfz450mane ...... It is very hard sleeping at night knowing you have AN ISRAELI SENATOR NAMED JOSEPH LIEBERMAN WORKING TO TRY AND KILL YOUR ONLY FAMILY LEFT IN PALESTINE... WEINER sides with Zionist scum who rant sick religious Halachiac text LIKE RABBI SHLOMO AVINER FROM BET EL

  • @OccupationSurvivor

    Speaking of loyalty to foreign nations... Fox News channel is owned by a foreigner, media tycoon Rupert Murdoch who publicly admitted at the World Economic Forum his use of media outlets to shape the American right wing agenda. Bush admin's loyalty to the Saudis etc. The GOP's unequivocal loyalty to foreign corporate interests.

    Weiner is a Rep of a district in New York, which has a high Jewish population, he simply represents his people. That is the duty of a congressman.

  • @sesamestreetgang Sorry but he does not have a high Jewish population amongst all New Yorkers whihc he represents as a wqhole. Stop with the slanted support for a population of 2%.

    I wonder if you can say the same for Libermans representatiaion of CT residents or Lautenberg, or Schumer.

    I wonder why you didnt mention the ISRAELI CITIZEN CHEIF OF STAFF RAHM EMANUEL and why he ran and who he secretly supports above America.

    Zionism is Terrorism and some of these guys support it.

  • @OccupationSurvivor Zionism is Terrorism? You should take a walk around Treblinka or Dachau before making remarks like that.

  • @sesamestreetgang Well right now I believe Fox is owned by a Shari , Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal. I can't believe what goes on in this country and what is said 2 different things. And on 911 though all aircraft was grounded it wasn't for the Bin Laden family. Apparently this is all business as usual because people believe the lies they see on TV which is owned by the same 2 or 3 corps. It is all Babel to distract you from generating your own power.

  • ha weiner. this guy is a joke and a liar

  • all of you are missing the point. his name is weiner. thats all that matters.

  • Anthony Weiner for president!

  • According to Gallup approximately two thirds of the US military voted for Bush. The majority of voters in New York City elected a Republican mayor and Republican governor. I find it difficult to believe Rep, Weiner has never met any Republicans in Brooklyn or DC outside of insurance agents. Of course he is a rich DNC lawyer.

  • @Texasjim2007 You really missed the point.

  • @Texasjim2007 I hope you learned by now that a resounding majority of the country elected a Democratic President and Democratic representatives in both the House and Senate, resoundingly rejecting the Republican ideology which has proved not to work and be harmful to this country. Dems will win in Nov. with the help of the Tea Party. Thanks in advance! Weiner is great!

  • @Texasjim2007 Regarding NY's mayor, he reached his term llimit and their city council changed the laws so he could run again, thwarting the laws and forcing an unwanted billionaire Republican (who spent millions of his own money) down the throats of New Yorkers who didn't want him. The military in the most recent election voted overwhelmingly for Obama. Bush is so irrelevant here.

  • I'm a Roman Catholic Republican who spent 20 years in the US Army. I never worked for an Insurance company although I don't see why blue collar Dems and blue collar Republicans should have their taxes paying the insurance bills for rich lawyers and toadies of George Soros who uses foreign tax shelters to avoid taxes.

  • I know Anthony weiner wants to eat Glen Beck's liver with kidney beans, and that would be good for america, and on second point The fucking Republicans somewhat won, as the public option was scrapped from health care bill.

  • R's aren't the ones forcing me to buy their product stupid weiner.

  • @cyberben3d No, that's the republicans. That's their price for making insurance companies hold true to there contract and don't drop people when they get ill.

  • @cyberben3d Yes they are. The Republicans get more money from Wall Street AND insurance companies than Democrats. Get the facts, not talking points!

  • @Soldierette how is that forcing me to buy their product? You weiner people are hilarious. Bunch of f'ing grown adults with the character of a spoiled teenager.

  • This guy is awesome

  • This guy got cajones!

  • Big words for a little fellow! Now, will he talk like that aginst our enemies and Osama? LOL

  • you know he played college hockey right?

  • This beer is for you bud!!!!!!

  • PP is interesting

  • The GOP got DESTROYED by Anthony Weiner! Destroyed! Ahahahaha! Yeah man....

  • Truth hurts!

  • Go get em champ!

  • Am I supposed to accept that a party that plans to fine me for not doing business with an insurance company isn't "a wholly owned subsidiary" of the insurance industry?

  • Well they got that idea from the GOP. Mitt Romney did it in Massachusetts and Sen Orin Hatch supported it along with a ton of other Republicans who presented a mandated health care plan in opposition to Hilary Clinton care back in 1993. So what you should be suggesting is that the Democrats stop letting the Republicans ideas become the corner stone of their ideas.

  • Check out the Fox news idiots debating this guy - what a clusterfuck lol.

  • Anthony Weiner for President in 2012!

  • Its true.

  • this dude is a political beast. lol

  • @MrDreambig1979 you dont FUCK with the weiner!!

    wait... er... 

  • Weiner / Greyson 2012! Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuk It Hater's!

  • @GypsyKing7 I AGREE!!!!! what a ticket. great.

  • It invites the question, where are you getting your facts, fox no news or the tea bag idiots? The fact is that we can not continue on this health cost escalation in America PERIOD! The republicans were in total control for 6 years and could only lower taxes drastically for the riches 1% while going to war. Did they try to fix health care? NO! Did the take care of their banker buddies? YES! Are they interested in fixing health care now? Hell NO! They need to sit down and shut the FCK UP!

  • @dartsp I don't give a rat's ass what the repugs did in the 6 years they ran the government, your annointed messiah and his cronies are doing worse. I remind you, the dems have been in control of congress for this entire recession and STOOD BY WHILE BUSH DID HIS CRAP! Now dems idolize this "Whiner" guy and that braindead moonbat Grayson (whom I'll have the privelege of voting out of office in November). Want a little cheese to go with that Wein-er?

  • You don't give a rat's ass what the repugs did? The Republican Party is WHY WE ARE IN THIS MESS! They are who ran up the deficit! They are the ones who FORCED the prescription drug bill down our throats WITHOUT PAYING FOR IT!

    You or ANY Republican here, tell me what EXACTLY has the Republican Party done for this country over the last TWO DECADES? WHAT? What good are they if they haven't done a DAMN THING FOR AMERICANS IN 20+ YEARS? They are simply warming OUR seats in Congress!

    DEAL WITH IT!

  • And, soldierette, you tell me what the Dems did while in control of the government? Lie about "balanced budget," attempt to give us socialized medicine (which is failing in both the UK and Canada, not to mention what the government-controlled portion of health care here in the US), among other costly policies (in every measure of the word). I'm not a repug, lady. It's up to YOU to tell me why I should accept either version of statism (the Dems or the Repugs). YOU deal with it!

  • @dartsp you are correct friend! i could not have said it better.

  • I guess Anthony hurt the sissy republican's feelings? They are so delicate, like little flowers that need to be crushed!

  • truth hurts, huh reps???

  • @elnegrobembon I must have struck a chord, 3 thumbs down! LOL!

  • you guys should check out some clips of this guy going against fox news hosts. He totally make them speechless.

  • Yeah, "liberals" (code word) are good at taking away people's free speech, especially on university campuses with hate speech codes.

  • The part you missed, jakeway, is that it is the Republicans in this video that were trying to take away Weiners' right to free speech. He didn't cuss or threaten anyone. He only told the truth!

    DEAL WITH IT!

  • @Soldierette

    free speech does not include slander. "he told the truth" really? where and when did he substantiate his claim of R's "being bought and payed for"? that is a specific allegation and a serious one.

  • @Soldierette hope the democrats enjoy the house for another 4 months.... republicans will take over the house no doubt... anyone looked at the elections recently and seen how underdog republicans have overtaken the democrats...just goes to show you that the american public does not agree with the liberal agenda.

  • @Soldierette

    "Wholly owned subsidiary of the insurance agency" Your argument for freedom of speech, while a good argument for regular citizens, protects speech of defamation to a degree outside of congress. In the House of Representatives however, there are rules that don't allow slanderous speech that is obviously not true. I am sad to see that you have a lot of thumbs ups because that means that other people did not realize this, or they were just agreeing with their side blindly.

  • I don't know if he's a NY Jew or Italian (I'm Jewish, I can say that) but he's got the best of both! Chutzpah, balls, guts...whatever you call it, he's got it!

  • Chutzpah, you illiterate. It's what Jews say to remind gentiles they control everything on planet earth.

  • No, Chutzpah means audacity.

  • He's my ZERO!

  • He's my hero!

  • THATS WHAT I'M F*CK'N TALKING ABOUT!!!!! Telling it like its .

  • i wish obama would speek like anthony weiner.

  • i agree but in this topic democrats and all americans need hc reform. republicans agree but dont want to piss off inurance companys sponsorship. hypocrits. we need to help all americans not just the americans that can afford health care.

  • hoofsta?

  • kathy160: Search Wikipedia for "Chutzpah"

  • Good Lord the republicans have no shame. How pathetic is it to have the truth spoken about you eliminated from the record.  They should realize that their supporters are too dumb to actually watch CSPAN or read the Congressional Record.

  • Atta Boy Anthony! This is what Republicans can't stand, but get used to it you Hucksters. No more are Liberals considered pussies, we need more Liberals with balls like Anthony Weiner(no pun intended)! This guy should get a standing ovation from the whole country, keep kicking ass Anthony!

  • So, setting aside your brainwashed, FOX "News"-induced ignorance about the healthcare bills ... What is YOUR brilliant solution to the healthcare crisis, you know, the one that won't cost a penny?

  • @waydownNMway we don't neeeed a healthcare plan. We maybe need reform but not an entirely new system. Eventually Gov't is going to own everything. I think it is really overstepping it's boundaries. In turn you would be forcing people to be paying for healthcare that they don't want to.

  • Do you drive a car? Do you buy Car Insurance? If you hit someone, how do you plan to pay for it? We pay on average $1000. a year more for those who "choose" not to have Insurance.

  • @leftofcenter44 if I didn't own a car like the man across the street from me. No I wouldn't have car insurance just like him.

    The car insurance is for a car not you.

    When you get car insurance, they ask what car is it. make and model. the insuranc covers you driving that car. It won't cover you driving your friends car(unless you are forced into buying non-owners insurance just to get a suspended DL back)

  • Sheerpower - "Eventually Gov't is going to own everything."

    Really? Everything, huh? ... You've been watching a little too much Glenn Beck. You know he's not supposed to be taken seriously, right?

  • @waydownNMway They own AIG, the worlds largest insurance company, they own GM and Chrysler(and both are at a loss already), they own Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac, they own Goldman Sachs, they own countless amount of banks across the nation.

    That's not from Glen Beck but from Obama.

    Now get on to school before your parents catch you again skipping.

  • the GOP is the REAL enemy of America

  • Weiner is right the GOoP is the legislative arm of Monopolistic Corporatism.

    Sad how Weiner's truth is stricken from the record by GOoP motion of objection.

    The CorporateInsuranceCannibals are devouring Americans, gouging the health thru discrimination.....$800 to $1200 a month to cover one person!

    Medicare for All....

  • It's about fuckin time. I love this gut, and this is the first I'm seeing him. He reminds me of me. Brutally honest. We need more direct politicians. I like Obama, and what he is trying to do, but he needs to be more forceful like this gentlemen. President or not. Just like throwing a punch in boxing. In a straight line.

  • That's called a dictator, a ruler who assumes sole and absolute power and be more forceful. Like Moe, kill as many as it takes to bring the nation to their knees to bow before him.

  • Well said, it's about time someone had the balls to get up and truly say what he was feeling about this issue. It is insane that there is anyone regardless of the acutal amount who are without healthcare in a country that has the financial resources to fight a multi billion dollar war.

  • and jezz is not a word. jeez like a dumb child is that what u were going for?

  • im leaving but will be back im gonna watch bill maher on larry king. yes i do despise republicans and all they stand for...... which equals no help for any middle class american and poor well i guess they should just prey or pray fuck it with republican ideologys poor people should do both.

  • since its the first time we debate and i see you THINK ur smart tell me how anthony weiner doesnt have reason and a point and pointing out republican absent american help.

  • you let me know. ok. night nite.

  • Now I'll go as far to say. If you lost a house to one of these loans. LOL it's your own fault. Anyone that would take a home loan that didn't have a locked in rate is as dumb as a box of rocks.

    As well as, anyone that refinanced their home with one of these laons, is dumber than a box of rock.

    Thought you was getting a good deal, didn't you.

    Can't blame the banks, they don't set the interest rates.

    Hey my payments are still the same as they were 15 years ago. Mine were locked in.

  • @MrSTANDFORAMERICA

    hey mr dickwad...my house was payed for 7 years ago. payed it off in 6 years. we finally agree on something.

    of course mr 'SHIT FOR BRAINS ' doesnt know that its called an 'ADJUSTABLE RATE MORTGAGE'../...A.R.M.

    and yes....tens' of millions of Americans were /'duped or stupid'. i choose the latter...as it was 'on its face', crooked.

    yet, know a few who thought it was peachy keen'. bet they dont now!

    duh. leave it to banks?

  • Ah we have us a rich one. Or it's that you live in a shack.

    I like calling what it really is a "floating interest rate" loan.

    Oh yes on the stupid, but not duped.

    6 years...you must live in a house built of straw.

  • @MrSTANDFORAMERICA

    hey numbnuts. do you think that just maybe 'the banks and wall streets' money buying congressional votes for the last 40 or 50 years', 'HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH REG'S N LEGISLATION'?

    uh? [this should be funny]

  • Then if that be trure, Obama wouldn't have filed charges aganist banks to force the banks and loan institutions into going back giving out the loans when they stopped.

    One thing for sure, you really need to get your head out of Obama ass. Joe gets pissed when he catches other people with their heads up Obama's ass.

    Use your internet for other than gay porn. Stay off blog,vlogs and al-Qaeda. And you'll find the truth.

  • Get'em ANT lol thats why I love New Yorkers

  • 'Pittsburgh Press march 29th 1982REAGAN: ease mortgage curbs for homebuyers, and inject a ;flow of pension funds into 'lending mkts'

    SHOULD I CONTINUE?!? you read it. get some popcorn.

    'ITS A GREAT READ, n show what a moron and partisan hack this MR stoop for unamerica 'peice of shit' really is. 'this entire process of 'fucked up banking/trade/wars/corporation greed'...started a long 'fucking time ago'.

    'good day'. [read it]

  • Finally - a democrat with some BALLS to tell it like it is.

  • hi seems like he is a great guy at least he's got the guts to tell it like it is . ,maybe your next president.

  • im voting anthony weiner i wish all democrats would act and point out lies and facts like he did.

  • Since the discussion is about truth...

    Why do the free-market loving conservatives support the existing Anti-Trust Exemption that the Health Insurance Industry has had for decades?

    How does this fit their philosophy?

    How is it possible to frame this as an honest stance?

    GOP is either for the free-market and competition or it isn't?

  • Go figure, Rep. Weiner (D) tells the truth and Lungren can't handle the truth.

    Private insurance is the main culprit of rising insurance costs. Last year their profits went up substantially as they dropped more sick policyholders. By the way many insurance companies consider Domestic (Physical) Abuse as a "pre-existing condition". So if your spouse beats you, you're on your own - makes sense doesn't it?

  • Fabulous. The man speaks the truth. The rest of the truth is that Max Baucus , the Blue Dogs, and Barack Obama are also owned by the insurance companies. Unfortunately.

  • Thank you Rep. Weiner for speaking up for the people of America!

  • Groucho Marx - "Whatever it is, I'm against it!"

    From Horse Feathers

  • @Zolio6

    loved that.

    the 'contract skit' is the best.

  • I saw this video and I must say Weiner did excellent job!!

  • If you just look at the facts, Weiner is right. Financially backed opposers who are content to self profit at the expense of the American taxpayers. It is about time someone publically calls them out on it.

  • YES, MR. WEINER!!! GO ON WITH YOUR BAD SELF!!! It's about time someone from congress spoke up. It is about time a Democrat start fighting. It would have been nice if President Obama would have came out and said this but he is trying to be diplomatic while pushing the bill forward. Weiner is on the money.

  • @Jaysunai

    exactly!

    when these pricks complain about deficit...1 trillion was from bushy's lyinass war.

  • Comment removed

  • Gotta love us republicans. We know how to keep them libbies in line!

  • @N1CKF3D

    you cant balance a checkbook moron. at least all the 'repub presidents dont seem to be able to'.

  • Tell 'em MrClay. Truth hurts the fascists. Nick, it's punks like you that make us say ugly shit in Cyber space. We liberals created this great nation, and you can't tell me or mine one motherfucking thing about hard work. Stop crying bitch! I don't want or take anything from you. My 55 year old ass will be on the ferry at 6 in the morning to cross the bay to work my fingers down to the bone. Fuck you and your miserly, fearful, hateful, ignorant soul. Truth to power!

  • @bry3921

  • Weiner vs. Boehner

    House Death Match

    November 2010

  • put your weiner in a bun and go home

  • We have just way too many CORPORATE WHORES in our GOP.

  • more jizz being swallowed by the dumbocrats... hows it taste bitches?

  • i agree why else would they stone wall the health care bill so much !!!

  • "tort reform" is a TOTAL SCAM. (See: WMDs in Iraq.) (or NY Jets actually from NJERSEY!)

    The Republicans have gotten caught lying precisely 100% of times in the past. (The Dems almost as much.)

    EX:

    THE GOP says they hate socialism yet they LOVE the govt-run-monolopy of our MILITARY, and the also the single-payer govt-run POLICE and FIRE DEPARTMENTS.

    END OF DEBATE.

    Even the GOP admit the Bush Administration was almost total socialism / communism.

  • This is awesome.

  • wasn't well prepared, but at least he was passionate and made critical points despite lacking even more critical sources of information to back himself up.

  • Industry owns Republicans just like lawyers own Democrats. They are all scum.

  • "Tort Reform" is a red herring.

    We passed major tort reform in Texas & insurance costs did not go down -- all we got were a ton of doctors from other states who could no longer get insurance in those states because of operating drunk, sexually abusing patients, and so forth.

  • we know what he meant....YOU know who you are....taking names.

  • Tort Reform, in terms of medical malpractice, is tiny compared to other healthcare costs in the Nation, about 2%. That's according to director of the Congressional Budget Office in a letter to Orrin Hatch 10/9/09, easy to find on the net. It's a Red Herring. It accounts for nothing when compared to the other costs and over charges of the current system. It's what conservatives do. Obfuscate until the argument goes away and eventually do nothing for those who need access to affordable healthcare.

  • weiner on a bun
