1. It is truly amazing how they block out what they can't handle,

like the truth

They are all in dire need of therapy to begin dealing with reality

[Kahuna]

29. The evil homo liberals made Jeff gay...

'If it can happen to Jeff, it can happen to any of us..' :scared:

[mourningdove92]

2. they don't appear too frenzied to me.

[MadisonProgressive]

4. They hide it well, but believe me they are in a panic!

[tridim]

14. Especially considering Gannon and Kristinn are allegedly "friends"

and Talon/GOPUSA/FR are joined at the hip. There's less than one degree of separation between FR and this scandal. They should be panicked.

3. It's amazing that the freepers are so

dimwitted as to believe the MSM is left wing. If Rush says it's all LBN then it must be so.

[chookie]

5. Gee, what are they going to try next?

I bet they'll accuse us of being anti-veterans, or anti-servicemen, for exposing "Bulldog"/"Gannon", who had served as a Marine and could have been called up to fight for Our Freedom and make the ultimate sacrifice.

Sorry freeps -- this is not an issue of liberal hypocrisy about gays -- it's the fact that one of your own was a HO!

I don't care WHO or what he "serviced" for cash -- the fact is he was living a double life as a "journalist" and prostitute. Given that "Bulldog" was advertising himself as recently as May 2003, clearly, his two "careers" overlapped.

It just remains to be discovered who leaked to him about the wife of that pesky Joe Wilson, whether it was in his role as whore or his role as "conservative journalist."

6. They can't spell or write properly therefore

it is difficult for them to think logically.
Check out this sentance:
"Actually Jeff Gannon resigned because of threads he and his family has received" I'm sure those dreaded "threads" are just awful. (Sarcasm off.)

[geniph]

31. People sent his family frightening clothing?

What, didn't he have enough leather in his closet already?

[TwentyFive]

7. Just read freerepublic. These people ignore the obvious.

Somebody who is registered on FR should link to Jeff's XXX pics.

[Walt Starr]

8. Hell, Jeff Gannon is still a registered member of FR!

His profile is still active and he could post right now if he wnated to.

I guess they like MSM manwhores over there.

[MadisonProgressive]

9. He's posted on the thread I linked to - BullDog108

[Walt Starr]

13. James Guckert's FR Screen Name is and alwas was

Jeff Gannon.

[yankeedem]

15. Here are Guckerts posts

[MadisonProgressive]

16. If you read the context of his posts

you may think he has at least 2 screennames.

10. Freep/fart and other joys

The people at FR are an oddly interesting bunch. The most prominent emotion today seems to be "whistling in the wind," and the way they do it is fascinating. First, they try with all their might to characterize the thing as gay-bashing and then revel in the supposed hypocrisy they've exposed. Of course the only way they can do that is by ignoring the salient facts of the case: that the guy was a pawn of GOPUSA and that he got WH press credentials a few days after Talon came into existence--which means strings, actually very very big strings, were pulled to get him into the WH press corps. From that point he fulfilled two important functions: the press conference softballs and the Plame conduit. Given the strange background of the Republican system of check and balances, i.e. the use of blackmail, torture, bribes etc, the fact that this guy was a gay prostitute with a military background opens up a whole new angle. Obviously at this point it is difficult to tell where the story will go, but McClellan's quick rebuttal--and the obvious lie about when he knew Jeff's real name--shows that BushCo has at least some concerns over this story. But the Freepers are feigning ignorance if their well-honed ability to imagine the worst has deserted them at what appears to be a crucial moment. They're worried. They should be.

27. Great explanation

Welcome to DU!
:hi:

[crispini]

11. Some people over there appear to be getting it.

To: woofie
If this story is true (and that is a BIG if), some troubling questions are raised.

Aside from the obvious "media whore" joke, how would someone who was a male prostitute get into the White House press room? Either

1.) The vetting process is truly horrible (which I doubt), or
2.) Another problem exists.

12. And this one....

To: ArmyBratproud
He didn't work on them (as in programmed them)as most assume. He worked as a prostitute whose persona (and picture) as a Military (Marine)"Top" was sold on the websites.

The issue is not that he is gay. The issue is that he was a prostitute that had access to the White House. We should be concerned about this. We can pretend not to care, as the Dems. pretended that the Monicagate did not bother them, but this should concern us.

19. I was just going to post that one. That person will be banned soon

can't have anyone making sense at FR, can we????

[Old and In the Way]

17. This is priceless.......

"Freedom of the press is not dead in America, but it has taken a mortal injury when the ouster of Talon news from the White House press corpse."

The idiot forgets that it wasn't the liberal mainstream press that outed Gannon (though they should have)...it was the bloggers who got the story out. If we had a liberal mainstream media, we wouldn't be suffering through another term with the criminals in control.

The depths of their naitivite and ability to apologize for this juanta never ceases to amaze me.

[MadisonProgressive]

18. At least he was right about the 'White House press corpse'.

[SoCalDem]

24. Did someone say corpse..???

:)

[driver8]

22. This one made me laugh...

"Why should they worry about the facts, as if it's really all that important. Nowadays, all they have to do is make an accusation, with out back up, and the MSM takes off with it."


They really are clueless, aren't they??

(Cough) Swifboat liars...(Cough)

[ComerPerro]

23. Good catch

[Spiffarino]

20. You bet they're freaking out right now

I just read the whole thread. Some of the posters have to be trolls, and they have the Freeps in full attack mode. They are starting to eat their own and it's absolutely heartwarming.

The gist of it:

- The male prostitute site is a fake

- I had a friend whose picture was photoshopped on a porn picture...

- Because he's gay?? I thought they were the the Left!

- They've got nothing on the WH. How could it possibly hurt Bush?

- Screech. Howl. Lie. Accuse. Etc.

[tinanator]

21. aint it side splitting?

Occurred to me to look in on their side of the story and it was quite pleasant, everyone seemed subdued and confused with not a lick of spirit or regular venom. Disgusting place, but how enjoyable to watch them twist.

25. Freeper Hypocrisy

I did post this in a separate message, but wanted to pass it on...

26. This story is delicious.

Just plain delicious.

Who will Jeff Gannon give his tearful apology to? Diane Sawyer? Katie Couric? Star Jones?

It's shameful, the whole damn thing. A serious security breach occurred, and it's the second time in recent memory that the White House has failed to properly vet someone allowed in their proximity (see: Bernie Kerik). Scott McClellan should resign; in fact, I have a feeling he'll have to take the fall.

[The Minus World]

28. A Psychologist's Paradise.

I took a visit, and all I could glean from my time there was that these people are united in their general opposition to accepting the facts of story.

Many are preoccupied with the competitive aspect ("We got Dan Rather and Eason Jordan, and all they've got is Armstrong and Gannon - we win!"), as though the heads on the pikes in front of their houses are more valuable than ours.

Some don't seem to understand that being a tolerant liberal does not include tolerance for hypocrisy and subterfuge - even if the hypocrite happens to be gay. Apparently, to some on the Right, we liberals tend to set aside our integrity in order to cater to a handful of "deviants" and "special interests" - and we seem to surprise the hell out of them again and again when they realize we don't fit their blunt caricature.

Others simply don't seem to comprehend the depth of the story, simply because Limbaugh did not grind it up and regurgitate it for them. Morality, for them, is subjective, and solely based on political alignment; they fail to critically analyze that which they do not agree with.

Still others are claiming that the Democratic party is shooting itself in the foot, since the inevitable purge would likely include "liberally-biased" reporters.

I am absolutely certain that many of them truly believe that this is a non-issue; completely inconsequential when compared to the systemic set-up and take-down of Dan Rather.

This, regardless of the basic fact that Rather is, and has been, a respected journalist for decades - administration upon administration - who made a fully substantiated claim backed up by insubstantial evidence. Whereas, Gannon - a prostitute possessing a pronounced political predilection - masquerades as a legitimate reporter for a legitimate news organization, and gains access to the President.

The Right truly see nothing wrong with selecting instances where either moral outrage or utter apathy is appropriate, depending on the political nature of the problem - not the facts.

[Old and In the Way]

30. The practice of moral relativism is alive and well on the FreeRepublic,

isn't it?

Notice how the Grand Pubars of Republican Morality have been strangely quiet about Mr. Gannon? Where is Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, and Dobson on their outrage?

One would think that their standards of morality might only apply if the person is a known Democrat.

Every day, it must get a little more difficult to disregard the facts of what's going on around them.....eventually, when the saturation point of their reality denial is reached, the collective breakdown of their worldview will be a wonderous sight to behold.
