Thought y'all might find this thread interesting...a Justin Raimondo hit piece posted by ex-FReeper JohnGalt on LP.org

The Leftist Slime Press is loaded fer bear, but I really don't think there's any THERE there...MUD

[DJ MacWoW]

A "right to the point" article. Thanks.

"...he used his real name (Guckert) to get his press pass, but then used his phony name to file stories."

Sinky, it's called a pen name...MUD

I don't get a good feeling on this one. Just don't think its worth it.

Justine writes like a spurned lover. Perhaps Gannon wouldn't give him his phone number.

Why does he need a pen name? Britt Hume doesn't have a pen name, nor does Mort Kondracke (and Mort could use one).

And Gannon is certainly in no danger of becoming a Mark Twain.

I never care what people do, but I do care why they do it.

[Mudboy Slim]

Justin has gone so far over to the dark side, it's hard to believe I once gave his opinion some credence...MUD

[Mudboy Slim]

"Why does he need a pen name?"

You and I have pen names...so does JohnHuang2 and I've emailed his stuff all over the net. Perhaps hiding our true identities has something to do with the lashing this dude has taken from the Vast, LeftWing Medyuh Whore'd.

Maybe James Guckert uses his porn star pen name so he can get higher rates. Dudes might pay extra for an escort that has White House access.

"I don't get a good feeling on this one."

Well, I'm not too up to speed on this "gay prostitute" allegation or Jeff Gannon's background in general...however, the folks who are going after Jeff Gannon with such a gusto are folks I don't like or trust. That's not to say I wanna give the RATS an easy win or give ourselves a black eye, but I also tend to trust the judgement of the DeeCee FReepers on most issues.

Why does he need a pen name?

In Gannons Wolfe Blitzer interview, he said it was easier to pronounce.

[Mudboy Slim]

Whazzup, Ol'Timer?! I ain't seen you fer ages...welcome back!!

What's so hard about Guckert? I can say it, look.... G-U-C-K-E-R-T.

"Gannon has had ample opportunity and resources to defend himself. He hasn't. I'm not defending a man who won't stand up for himself."

That there's one of the strongest arguments I've seen made yet...MUD
