Well ..I hesitate a bit to put this up, and mods if you need to pull it, go ahead. I usually glance at DU from time to time as I think it is important to see what they are thinking about...(The Democrats must be listening to them as their BS is perculating all over the political landscape.)
Last night I wandered into a post about Guckert/Gannon .The DU link is here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x3106117
They say a big story about him is about to break. The website that is after him is:
AMERICAblog.org, at http://www.americablog.org/
As best I can tell they are pursuing the gay angle. After wading through this crap what I think they have is that Guckert/Gannon had/was in a gay website involving the military a while back ...beyond that I dont know that it is any big deal...... but they sure act like it is Watergate or something.
So I am duly reporting this excursion into the dark side. I have got stuff to do today so I will not be around much . Consider yourself warned, you will need a shower if you visit these places
Let them waste their time going after a lone reporter. We got bigger fish to fry. Hehehehe
Right. Let them go after Corporals, while we line up the Generals.
And the grease is just warmin' up.
Really, though, this is a bonanza for them because they can't find any dirt on the Republican leaders, so they're going to try to destroy this man's life as a consolation prize. Sorry, Jeff/James.
So...they're going after him for being gay. Aren't they, you know, the Left?
It is my understanding that Gannon/Guckert worked for a company registering domain names. He registered these sites as a condition of his employment; however, the sites were never created.
Many at DU also believe that George H.W. Bush was involved in the assaination of John F. Kennedy, amongst many other tin-foil hat conspiracy theories. I think many of the folks at DU are paranoid schizophrenics who have stopped taking their meds.
I've been follwoing several on their threads on this. I have yet to figure ut what they thik the big deal is. They may pull Gannon down, but I simply fail to see how this reflects of President Bush in any way.
Somebody help me out here. What, exactly, are they thinking?
You gotta grasp the straws if that's all you got. It's like kicking a puppy.
Agreed. We will take on the big dangerous RATS.
But I thought they were the tolerent ones.
I believe it was that brilliant mind, the master of phraseology, Juan Williams who stated that President Bush is purposefully planting softball throwers in the WH press corps. He feels the President can't handle the barrage of tough questions.
Woof!
(As in, this story is a dog. A very bad dog.)
If the Left considers toppling Gannon to be a huge victory, it reveals how rare victories have been for their side. Even more depressing, the main reason he resigned was because of his exposed link to gay Web sites. Halcyon days for the party of tolerance.
It's the hypocrisy angle. Never quite get why people are befuddled by that. Guckert has written a lot of articles in opposition to Gay rights.
Hypothetically, if it was revealed that, say, Congressman Tom Tancredo employed an illegal immigrant maid, it would be a far bigger deal than if it was revealed that, say, Cynthia McKinney employed an illegal immigrant maid.
Why should they worry about the facts, as if it's really all that important. Nowadays, all they have to do is make an accusation, with out back up, and the MSM takes off with it.
Like they're tolerant about free speech. It doesn't seem to work both ways.
This is "Big News?"

"Developing: Mounting evidence suggests conservative White House reporter 'Gannon' paid to have site set up with intention to prostitute himself.... Developing..."
*yawn*
The silliness has warranted some rather amusing responses from the Right Bloggers, like this (Ace of Spades) and this (Beautiful Atrocities). Funny stuff.
