Jeff Gannon

A Voice of the New Media

The voice goes silent.

Because of the attention being paid to me I find it is no longer possible to effectively be a reporter for Talon News. In consideration of the welfare of me and my family I have decided to return to private life.

Thank you to all those who supported me.

It's the alleged "hypocrisy" built upon allegations. In other words, lib bloggers with aid and help from "others" have built a sand castle of rumor and hyperbole in order to "strengthen" their pals in the MSM. David Brock, using all those great lexus/nexus searches does some digging. He writes about his digging. And a million voices ("unity anti-theme") respond. Democrats think they are learning this from observing Republican operations. What they don't realize, is that Republicans learned it first from the Dems.

.. and for every scalping of a Republican, the Dems go "woo hooo" we aborted another one!

It is a delusion, but then, some people enjoy their delusions. It's an interesting tactic: One branch of Dems loves anything sexually perverse; while the other branch is trying to find a "moral" theme. Ergo, hit a reporter who is against gay marriage while simultaneously posturing that he is gay.

This tactic has worked for over 30+ years for the Dems. The only difference this time is they are using other forms for search material. I think David Brock is only trying to help the Dems find a place to stand. It's like "vicarious" PEST therapy via journalism and left blogs. Dean did it with a scream, Brock is doing it under the banner of "serious investigative journalism". You see...

Any guesses??

One or two. Dozen. Guess I'm out of work now...

[Willie Green]

many newbies don't believe us about the old forum and whole threads in stealth font white or marquee..

Those nasty italians caused the biggest mess...
but I kinda miss some of the fun threads that had music embedded in 'em. Those were a hoot!

[prairiebreeze]

it's witness/reporter intimidation..

Precisely what it's about.

But I still love the end of Jeff's question.

How do you deal with people who are completely divorced from reality?

I've wondered that myself.

[Darksheare]

I never ran across one of those, oddly enough.
Now I feel cheated.

[JesseJane]

Yep, yep and yep.. brilliantly stated Alia.

[altura]

How old ARE you?

Most people over 8 know all about Helen Thomas.

[ReadTheFinePrint]

It should be easy to confirm if the budget has 88 or so million dollars for PR or not...
I suspect it's true even if you don't like the source.

but just wait and see..

JJ -- think about this: The Dems as a party are in shreds. Their only saving "grace" is Hillary. To run a campaign they need a theme. What do Democrats stand for: more taxes, more control freakish laws, killing babies, not defending the US.. but "gay marriage"... OH THE HUMANITY! Is this latter not a theme that might join together, in some semblance the factions within the Democrat coalitions? When you read through all the Jeff Gannon "rumors", it becomes clear the issue is "gay marriage". That's the tag underneath which all the other stuff is lain. I just read that Tony Blankley is now under "isolate and obliterate" mantra from the left. I haven't studied the "castle" of charges yet.. but no doubts, I'll wager its along the same lines (different specific variables) as their going after Jeff Gannon. I'll have to wait and see.

YOU'D THINK LIBERALS WOULD HAVE LEARNED SOMETHING FROM "CLAN OF THE CAVE BEAR". You can claim you've turned live humans into ghosts.. but ghosts of those unjustly killed have ways of coming back ... to haunt their tormentors.

[JesseJane]

I remember that too......!!

Interesting, you write in part at: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1324399/posts?page=8#8 concerning ad hominem attacks:

"Why should I bother responding in kind to your mindless ad hominem attack?"


Yet you write at post 224 of this thread:

"Give Jeff a dozen eggs and he might become the next Matt Drudge."

and at: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1293461/posts?page=71#71 you write:

"Whoever photoshopped Laura's knees out of these photos did her (and us)an enormous favor!"

Ad hominem attacks indeed. I am truly glad you are on FR. Your attitude is precisely one of the reasons that Democrats and Liberals in the US are losing in elections, while Republicans/Conservatives are winning elections. You, like so many others, claim diversity and tolerance, but based on your posts, putting such concepts into practice proves problematic.

...she is their Gaia.

[Lazamataz]

He came back.

He refused to back his specious claim.

dirtboy, are you starting to get it yet? RegurgitateTheFreakin'Propaganda is a troll. He comes here, lays out BS, refuses to back it up, and hopes it will become a 'meme'.

[sweetliberty]

We take her out on the threads occasionally. It gets a little messy at times.

David Brock is gay. When he wrote the Anita Hill book, he was accused of mysogyny. He came out (at least publicly) at that point by suggesting that the accusation was a gay smear. It's been suggested that his conversion of the Barry Goldwater kind -- a new lover doesn't cotton to his old life.

But that's just a rumor.

[Lazamataz]

I suspect it's true even if you don't like the source.

I suspect you are a smear-artist troll and I definitely don't like the source.

[altura]

I've read (nearly) every post on this thread and I still don't know:

1) what Jeff is accused of,

2) who accused him,

or

3) why he's quitting.

"...if A+Bert had gotten in there -- ahead or behind Mud -- do you realize what'd that mean?"

Yeah, I'd haveta be sick...what an image I will have to erase from my mind...Bert's sloppy seconds...LOL!!

Yer a sick cat, 'Dru...better watch yer back...MUD

Very good post!
