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
For obvious security reasons I would rather not discuss anything of this nature on a public forum. Perhaps if I knew you personally and you were in my living room, a conversation about this subject would occur.
And what is that supposed to prove?
LOL
I said he was named as a nominee. It is a fact the in-depth vetting process had not been done at that point.
Get it, "buddy"?
Man, you need a bigger warning for that link to americablog. My eyes feel violated.
Are those pictures really Gannon? How hard is it to fake a website?
It works for most of us, just not you. This WH is open to questioning from journalists from different outlets---print, television, online---and from across the political spectrum. This may curdle your stomach, I find it refreshing.
This AP story provides some details. We're going with a school group in April, and we had to ask for tickets from our Congressman back in November. We all had to provide full names and SS#, and when we go we are to all take a photo ID. Looking forward to it, as the cherry blossoms should be in lovely bloom by then.
I'm not the one confused here..."buddy".
Um, that's a parody site.
Notice it is a .org, the White House is a .gov
I think it used to be a porn site, right?
Is there any evidence that someone at the White House was "involved" with Gannon?
Our President is running the tightest, most secure administration in decades. That ain't going to happen.
This whole house of cards is going to blow over as soon as Rove gets on it.
None that I know of. And I hope not. ,i>Our President is running the tightest, most secure administration in decades. That ain't going to happen.
Well it DID happen. I doubt it had anything to do with the president, but there was some guy with regular and close proximity to the president and the administration who was not a bonafide reporter. I don't like that.

Let's hope so. I'm less concerned with the appearances of things than I am of safety and security of our government.

Sorry, when I put this thread up the "story" had yet to come out.I just got back and saw what they have ....need to read more...I dont know what to think ... a gay guy got into the press room ? I dont think that is a big deal.A gay guy likes the President....well maybe he found God or something....or gay Republicans are alive on the planet.
I want to know what the main stream media does with this? Is it a story or not? If it is what is the story? I thought private lives are private.No law suit that I know of ...Lets see Mary Cheney is gay ...did we know that?
Last I saw one thing last night that struck me ...Guckert is millitary with military clearance ....maybe thats all you need for a day pass.
I agree with those (and there are very respected names who agree with me) that think online news outlets deserve a place at WH briefings.
This WH agrees and non conventional reporters have been allowed in (as I mentioned before, from across the political spectrum).
Now, if a dem president ever gets back in the WH I'm sure your wish that only journalism school graduates that work for the preferred outlets will be granted passes.
Until then, the sunlight is being let in. Much to your chagrin.
Your blathering about security as if someone has been exposed as some kind of threat is indulging in histrionics...or you're out to fan the flames of this story at the behest of your masters.
Oh, aren't you cute.
Rove "on it"? What are you talking about?
Good grief, could you and your ilk be more transparent?
Just keep posting.
With every word you confirm what you are and from whence you came.
