D.C. Chapter to Hold Demonstration in Support of Jeff Gannon and the First Amendment, 2/18/05

All FReepers and lurkers in good standing are invited to join the D.C. Chapter in our demonstration this evening. Details in the following press release:

DEMONSTRATION IN SUPPORT OF JEFF GANNON
&
THE FIRST AMENDMENT

WHEN: FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 2005, 6 P.M. TO 8 P.M.
WHERE: THE SIDEWALK BY MONICA’S GATE,
AKA THE NORTHWEST VISITORS ENTRANCE
THE WHITE HOUSE, 1600 PENNSYLVANIA AVE., NW, WASHINGTON, D.C.

(Washington) The D.C. Chapter of Free Republic, an independent grassroots organization, will be holding a demonstration at the White House this evening in support of former Talon News White House Correspondent Jeff Gannon and the rights of other reporters to do their jobs without fear of being destroyed by the political establishment.

The group will also be bringing attention to several First Amendment-related issues pertaining to the current imbroglio. Among them are the unconstitutional efforts of Democratic congressmen to determine who is a reporter and efforts by the establishment media to shut out Internet-based news sites from having access to government press conferences.

Kristinn Taylor, Co-Leader of the D.C. Chapter of Free Republic, issued the following statement: “It is common knowledge that Jeff Gannon was singled out for personal destruction for the crime of asking a question of the President of the United States at a press conference that was insulting to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton.

“The Clintonista slime machine, led by former Clinton White House Chief of Staff John Podesta’s Media Matters for America, went into high gear and made an example of Mr. Gannon to any reporter who might dare to challenge Sen. Clinton’s credibility in her anticipated 2008 presidential candidacy.

“What was done to Mr. Gannon was the Clinton impeachement era Ellen Romesch strategy played out for all concerned parties to see. The D.C. Chapter of Free Republic will be out demonstrating for the rights of Mr. Gannon and all other reporters to exercise their rights without fear of personal destruction.”

"...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

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.

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

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.

"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
