Hey! Anybody got a freerepukelick ID? I got an idea!

[UdoKier]

I always get banned within minutes of my first post there, but maybe you could try posting this:

Hey? What happened to Jeff Gannon?

I went to Talon news, but his bio has been removed, and now he says he's throwing in the towel, according to his website.

http://www.jeffgannon.com/

I don't understand? What happened? I thought he was in it for the long haul.

Please, please post this. It's worth the possible ZOT, isn't it?

[purduejake]

1. LMAO...

Did we get to him for putting him on one of the top 10 conservative idiots list? Poor thing.

2. what happened?

Has he been getting death threats or something?

3. Just found this...

5. But you can't post any of that crap. Way too obvious.

But put the above question out there, and some of the freaks may go googling about to try and figure out what's up.

When I do try and post at FR, my favorite thing is to pose as a devout Christian outraged that the Washington Times is controlled by the Moonie cult. They HATE that, and always ban me instantly.

9. They have already linked to this thread n/t

[UdoKier]

13. Really?

They probably thought I was just joking about the moonies.

Hey freeptards. It's TRUE! Your "paper of record" is a Moonie front organization, is heavily influenced by Moon, as are many right-wing (and sadly, a few democrat) politicians.

Google the words "Sun Myung Moon Coronation". It will BLOW YOUR MINDS.

If you are Christians as you claim, you people should NOT be trusting an anti-christian foreign mind control cult.

4. His gay escort service

was made public by bloggers and he resigned (at least on his website) tonight. I guess writing homophobic tripe and plagiarizing WH press releases is no longer something the right-wing wants him for.

Whole story: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x3076904

6. This pisses me off...

He took down his other websites, too. </joke>

[Old and In the Way]

7. He was expendable.

People like this can be found anywhere, anytime. They'll find some other mindless stooge with a 2 day journalist degree to pitch questions even Bush can answer. They got some mileage out of the guy.

What's really amazing, in a sad way, is that this information was exposed by posters on the internet, instead of the high priced WH news reporters who were sitting right next to him....

[Stephanie]

14. He was found to own certain websites that promote gay escort services

Among other things. Check out Daily KOS. And the thousands of Gannon threads here at DU.

8. I like the idea

of starting a DU contest to see who can be banned the most from freeperville or the quickest. The most times would be better, because it could become an ongoing contest. Anyone up for starting a game? Any ideas what it could be called? It would be fun.

10. You've got to be careful, though

They've got spies over here. We'd need to start out slow so they don't catch on too quickly. Of course, they're not very bright, so we could probably wear signs and they STILL wouldn't get it.

[Stockholm]

12. I agree

They are not very bright.

[GeorgeBushytail]

16. Just say semi-insane things and you blend right in at FR

I've got a long-time FR ID and as long as I say odd stuff about guns and immigrants and neocons (it doesn't have to be derogatory, just weird, borderline nonsensical stuff) I am one of the good ol' boys.

I'm hoping to get invited to one of their racist, homophobic private forums.

[Bunny]

15. I think the Admins here may frown on that idea. n/t

[paineinthearse]

11. Good strategy

Split and divide. Danny Schecter is using a similar stategy. He had a news story about CNN that he could not get onto CNN to discuss, so he took it to Faux. The RW media are all in damage control mode today. See http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x3077829

[DulceDecorum]

17. Damage control? So soon into the second term?

My my.
This might turn out to be more fun than watching Nixon squirm.
