Will everyone shut the hell up about Gannon??!

[leftyandproud]

He wrote some shit the republicans didn't like.

BIG FUCKIN DEAL!!!

Do we really need 80 out of 100 posts discussing this crap?

[Bouncy Ball]

1. So you start a thread about him????

[BigBearJohn]

61. hahaha -- hit the nail on the head. Can't we have a little fun... JEESH!

[hector459]

101. Hell no! this stuff about Gannon and Plame is BIG shit. We should not

let it rest. The MSM is involved in major blackout of this story and the links to the Plame incident. I think we are talking about jail time here for someone.

[Az]

2. People get excited about something and they want to talk about it

Relax. Sit back. Pop some popcorn and enjoy the show.

You just wait till tinklegate hits the MSM.

[libertypirate]

90. Part of that Bush mandate stuff..

[Bluebear]

5. You said:"He wrote some shit the republicans didn't like."

Have you read any of the threads? he wrote things the Republicans liked very much! "Some people are saying" he was actually a Bush plant.

[Melynn]

7. "Jeff Gannon" wrote some things that the Repubs like

but Mr. "Gannon" did some very bad, bad things that no Freeper Republican likes. :grr:

So let's turn up the heat and watch them squirm. :evilgrin:

[Bridget Burke]

17. I'll bet some Freeper Republicans liked what he did very much...

But they'd prefer to keep it quiet.

[Kinkistyle]

6. Will eveyone SHUT UP about Social Security!?

Old people are just gonna get eaten by lions.

BIG FUCKING DEAL!!

Do we really need 80 out of 100 posts discussing this crap?




(yeah, it makes no sense, neither did the original post! :silly: )

8. Hey Osaka

[King Coal]

23. LOL! That made me laugh.

[slor]

60. Ohh Kinki...

I like your style!

[zann725]

72. NOT going to shut up about Social Security either. Stakes are too great.

[SoCalDem]

9. No

:P

[cthrumatrix]

10. double no....

[crispini]

12. no, no, a thousand times no!

mwahaahahaha! :evilgrin:

[EST]

25. Took the word right outta me mouf'.

NO!

[Spazito]

11. LOL

There is a delicious irony when a thread is started complaining about all the threads on one issue. It kind of moots the complaining thread, imo.

(Bump to keep this thread up there too, lol)

[quinnox]

13. No, I enjoy rubbing the repukes noses in it!

All Gannon, All the Time!

How many bazillion dollars did they spend investigating that? This story has only just begun, I think.

[Hissyspit]

15. There is still much more to this story...

Better too many threads than none at all.

[zann725]

73. My thoughts exactly!

Besides, it's gonna take a lot to wake-up these "sleep-walking" MSM and general public. Face it, it's up to us!

[Bouncy Ball]

16. Actually the more people dig into this story

(and it's about far more than Gannon) the more interesting and horrible for the bush administration it gets. There are people on DU and on blogs all over the net following the money trail, trying to figure out what connection he had to the Plame outing, and writing to all kinds of different media organizations about how a non-credentialed person who wasn't even a journalist, was going by a psuedonym and ran MILITARY GAY PROSTITUTION rings was able to get into the White House on a daily press pass and sit 20 feet from the president.

He's a pimpagandist. And this IS big news.

[Hissyspit]

19. We said the same thing at the same time! You just fleshed it out better...

No pun intended. :-)

[merh]

18. Me think the protester doeth protest too much!

:shrug:

What are they hiding?

Why do folks want to help them hide things?

Nothing to see here, move along!

NEVER GIVE UP!!!

26. Propaganda Investigation

This is why it's important. Click the link and help Rep Slaughter get answers and broaden the scope of this investigation. The problem with the Democratic Party is the activists gossip, protest and throw fits; but don't launch a focused effort demanding specific action.

"Yesterday, Ron pointed out the fall of CNN when even Frank Lutnz puts them in the category of Fox. Certainly we've all heard the stories of the journalists that have been paid by the government. to promote Administration policies. Last week I pointed out new tactics from the Pentagon, web sites that look like legitimate foreign news sites but are reviewed to insure the U.S. message is “more closely reinforced”. At the time, I forgot about the Pentagon Channel, where you can get your propaganda direct and totally scrutiny free. It has recently been added to the Dish Satellite lineup and I would imagine it's only a matter of time before it comes to a cable company near you!"

63. Yep.. Propagandapaloozza is just getting warmed up

Here's hoping that ole Jeffie gets "skeered" and starts talking.. I wonder if anyone has clued him in to how people who "disappoint" the Bush Royalty are treated.. he might need to hire some bodygurads and start talking fast :)..

He better stay off small planes, keep away from windows, not take any walks in the woods, or late night solo drives on bridges ...

[nolabels]

75. with all the mysterious deaths just noticed here at DU...........

I would say that is some good advice

He was a propagandist for the pubs - there' s nothing they love better than that - save for perhaps blowjobs from military escorts.

You've come at just the right time.

33. Ain't that the truth!

[sundog]

29. Why?

:wtf:

Is your sarcasm on or off? :shrug:

[troubleinwinter]

34. At least I didn't start a whole new thread entitled:

"Will everybody just shut the hell up telling everyone to shut the hell up about Gannon??!"

[SmokingJacket]

35. Sounds like you don't understand the story at all.

It's about the Bushies using the WH press corps to spread propaganda -- about **deliberately** allowing a FAKE journalist into press conferences and using him as mouthpiece.

It's about all the other reporters/talking heads (Hannity) who knew this guy was a shill and pretended to take him seriously.

It's about who fully the mainstream media has turned into the State Run media. (Plus juicy sex -- which, while not the main part of the story, might serve to make the story more interesting to the non-politically obsessed part of America.)

This is a very big and very very interesting story.

[teakee]

50. You are right....some of us live in...

poverty land; cannot afford cable to watch press conferences except when they are on network channels. My intro to 'Gannon' was when Bush was finally being asked questions that a lot of Americans (at least myself) want him to answer---when the questions starting getting a little hard for Bushie; and he couldn't talk 'over' the reporter or crack jokes so the other reporters and the viewers couldn't hear---Bush called in Mr. 'Gannon' to save the day.

I remember saying, "oh, my God." I have never heard a reporter so biased as this person. And Bush was off and running with his agenda.

I am thankful for the people who researched this snake and I hope they continue to do so, and hopefully the U.S. media finally stops being pushed around by the Bushco. Bullies.

Frankly, there is so much more to Mr. 'Gannon', lol, then I thought. I hope he will be throughly 'exposed' along with his partners of dirty deeds.

[MsMagnificent]

37. Ummmmm...... No.

Respectfully :D

Lefty -- the Reprobates would be screaming about this for literally YEARS, this is only the second day!

Nope. Nuh-uh.
I understand how sick you are of it all already... but drop it? No way!
It NEEDS to be discussed long and deeply until it becomes a meme not only for DU but for the country! And there's no better place to start all the discussion than the Democratic Underground!

You know the phrase Silence = Death?
We Dem's have been all too willing to let things slide for WAY too long now! We 'rise above the fray', to our --and the country's-- great detriment!

THAT HAS TO STOP!

It's FAR PAST the era when Dem's can afford to take the moral high ground because the stakes are now way too high! OUR APATHETIC SILENCE HAS CONTRIBUTED TO HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DEATHS; DEATHS NOT ONLY OF OUR OWN PEOPLE, BUT THE VERY PEOPLE WE WENT IN TO "SAVE"

God willing, this may be the crack in the Reprobate rock we need to sink our roots into, to FORCE the MSM to actually COVER THE HYPOCRISY!

This is TRUE KARMA.
It is a GIFT from God -- you're saying to just, like typical Democratic apathy, to refuse this gift? to let it go??!

With all due respect Lefty -- NO

[Thtwudbeme]

40. Damn! You're right!

Could you please start another abortion thread? We haven't had one in the past 30 minutes or so.

[bunkerbuster1]

41. I'm gonna have to think about this for awhile.

um...
































no.

[Bethany Rockafella]

42. You would have done better to start a thread about a different topic.

Silly goose.

[WilliamPitt]

43. Oh no!!! The Posting Police!!!

Cheese it!! The fuzz!!!

:freak:

P.S. When you post a gibbering rant, it's usually a good idea and respond to the people who bothered to post replies.

[davidinalameda]

44. thank you

[stanwyck]

46. You need a better news source

Jeff Gannon didn't write "some shit the Republicans didn't like". Not at all. Are you a Fox News viewer? Or a Hannity listener? That would explain your lack of understanding of who Gannon is and what he's written.
The Gannon subject is valid. It represents how the Bushian media spin works and how people are manipulated by paid propagandists.
Curious as to why you believe we should "shut up" about this...

[Susang]

47. Hey, at least it's not abortion

I'm thanking my lucky stars for that! :D

[otohara]

48. It Is A BIG FUCKING DEAL!!!

the media is trying to cover it up and what does that say?

Good grief, the bloggers on the internet had to break this story because the right-wing media is nothing but a PA system for the White House. Two years that guy sat in the same room with the MSM asswipes and threw out right-wing talking points. He couldn't get a pass to attend congressional stuff, yet he strolls in to the WH everyday and presto!

You don't see the big picture obviously.

[bmovies]

49. Gannon

Gannon this. Gannon that. Gannon gannon gannon. I gannoned down the street to the store to buy a gannon of milk. Then I gannoned to the gas station to buy ten gannons of gas and a half gannon of oil.

[Bluebear]

51. OK, that is seriously funny!

you have not read any of them.

[ultraist]

58. Is Gannon married? He said tonight on Wolf that his family is his mother &

brother. No mention of a wife. Does he live with his mother? I think maybe he does.

He stated that crazy liberal bloggers were threatening and stalking him on his way to church. BWAHAHAHAHA!!! Doubt it. What crazy liberal bloggers are even up that early on Sun am?

[FredScuttle]

98. It would have to be crazy psychic liberal bloggers

since, as Atrios so brilliantly pointed out, the world did not know the name Guckert before late Monday evening:

"Today on Blitzer's pathetic interview, whiny JD Guckert claimed that people (bad evil liberals) had followed him to church.

Anything's possible, I suppose, but his real name was first revealed to the world Monday night at 11:54pm, after the week's prime churchgoing day was long over.

And, Guckert himself declared:


I'm a two-holiday Christian and I usually vote Republican because they most often support conservative positions.


Now, we could imagine that he's Catholic and one of those two holidays is Ash Wednesday, but Ash Wednesday happened after he announced that he quit, so, it's hard to imagine that people following him to church after he quit was the reason he quit..."

As far as I'm concerned, keep the Gannon posts coming. This story gets juicier by the minute! (Gannon's now a tax evader, too!)

[BigBearJohn]

65. Actually, I think leftyandproud posted this so we would all jump in

Good psyops. Worked great. Got us all interested in the
subject again.

I tell you, this Gannon thing is like a festering sore.
And I am going to pick at it till gets fully infected.
I hope this is our gannongate... come on people, let's
coin a new word... something that the MSM can latch onto.

76. Gannon, Gannon, Gannon!

And speculation on a Gannon to Rove to Nixon-era connection. Of course, we don't have proof of a Rove/Gannon connection. That's the big issue/scandal, but I think it's instructive that the connection between the Nixon dirty tricks and the Jeff Gannon behavior seems so plausible:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...

Nixon and his cronies had a little mixed bag of dirty-tricksters, planted stories, and double-crossers and some of that eventually came to light. Back when real journalists would follow a lead on a story, anyway.

At the time, these types like 'Jeff Gannon' were part of group of people called Nixon's "rat fuckers."

I hope a whole nest of these modern-day rat fuckers is exposed--and that Rove and his ilk were so sure that no one would dare call them on their tactics that they didn't bother to cover their tracks properly.

A dirty trail of rat shit that leads right to the White House.

--------------
For more on Rove's direct connection to Nixon's ratfuckers:

"At 21, Rove dropped out of college and into politics, and became an early protégé of convicted Watergate player Don Segretti – the political operative who invented the term “ratfucking” in the first place. In that same tradition, Rove has been linked to the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, attacks on John McCain’s mental health, and, back in Texas, the whispering that Democratic Governor Ann Richards was a lesbian. Rove remains, for many, a prime suspect in the outing of CIA agent Valerie Plame, and even Republicans tend to reinforce his image as Bush’s Dark Lord. “He dominates a campaign,” Republican strategist David Weeks told The Washington Post. “Nothing ever happens that he’s not aware of.”"

A connection to Snotty McClellan by "Gannon"?


Gannon: "Thank you. First of all, I hope the grand jury didn't force you to turn over the wedding card I sent to you and your wife. (Laughter.) "
http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn?pagename=artic...

Here they seem to be having a har har about being asked about the Plame case -- he is being very bold in bringing it up in public thusly with Scotty, n'est ce pas?

Does this reveal a personal connection between these two men, or is Gannon, who is clearly unstable and WAY out of his depth, just getting too darned familiar with Scotty?

(He went on to make the following propagandist remark: "Do you see any hypocrisy in the controversy about the President's mention of 9/11 in his ads, when Democratic icon Franklin Delano Roosevelt's campaign issued this button, that says, 'Remember Pearl Harbor'? I have a visual aid for folks watching at home." )

[LynnTheDem]

78. He WHAT????? We need to NOT shut up coz you don't know WTF

the story is even about! LOL!!!

[Dookus]

80. Perhaps you should read one or two of the threads

so you know what the story's about. You seem seriously misinformed.

[deacon]

84. Staged campaign rallies, bribing TV journalists, and now a fake reporter

who was part of the act of staging press briefs. It is important.

So NO, I ain't shuttin' up.

[CatWoman]

87. you got your facts completely wrong

yet tell US to shut up????? :silly:

[democracyindanger]

88. Gannon leads to VALERIE PLAME.

That's why it's important.

[Bluebear]

89. It does, dudn't it.

Subpoena his hot military escort arse and make him reveal the source. Gannon is no journalist.

[Skittles]

93. if you don't care for the threads F***ING HIDE THEM

no need to get ANAL ABOUT IT. Lots of us see this Gannon asshole as the EPITOME of what is wrong with America today - we have lying, thieving FACISTS in the White House because we have NO DECENT PRESS TO TELL THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THE TRUTH.

97. Did somebody say........

GANNON!

99. Gannon is a key to the Plame outing...what's your problem? He's a key

to the WH relationship with the media. Don't you see the significance of this??!?

[slutticus]

102. Are you confusing Gannon with Churchill?

That's the only rational explanation I can come up with for this thread.

"He wrote some shit the republicans didn't like."

Gannon wrote nothing but things the republicans liked.

What are you talking about?

[autorank]
