The funniest thing about the whole Jeff Gannon mess
is that the FReepers think its all overblown hype. They think that if he were connected to Free Republic then they would know about it, as members of the site.

Its reminiscent of right wingers who say that "there is no vast right wing conspiracy, because if there were, I'd be a part of it."

Uh, no, dumbass. You wouldn't know about it. You would be what chess players like to refer to as a "pawn".

2. Exactly....
They're being used. They're served up disinformation and they just keep eating it up. Check out Gannon's posts over there (there's a link in another thread). He complains about all the WH reporters being "political", but he's "just doing his job." I'll bet he is, but I wonder who's paying his salary?

3. "but I wonder who's paying his salary"
Probably gets a nice cut from militaryescorts.com. What a tool. I hope Rove is choking on this little nugget tonight trying to figure out how to distance the WH from the mess he created.

I wonder if Rove is 'close' friends with this guy?

Last year, a site called http://www.presidentialprayerteam.org/ published a weekly list of Administration officials to pray for and left Rove off their prayer list until folks started to notice. Then they stopped publishing the list.

(no offense to our Gay friends here at DU and elsewhere, but Thuglies playing both sides of the sexual fence piss me off to no end).

4. "His job" including leaking scoops to Hannity.
That's per his posts at Freeperville. Not exactly unbiased reporting, eh?

6. Hannity a client
Would that be like Men's Hair Service, or Men's HAIR Service?

Another Hannity "I didn't know who this guy was" today, mark my words. I predict he'll claim the guy was a Liberal plant.

5. It's ILLEGAL for a WH Press credentialled reporter to use a fake name
Oh duhhhh me! Freepo-Fascists don't care about rightwingnuts breaking the law! They only care when libruls break the law, coz rightwingnuts are the biggest HYPOCRITES and DUMB MFers on the planet!
