Don't you love how the right compares Gannon to Helen Thomas?

[spanone]

Imagine, if you will, that Helen Thomas appeared nude and was SELLING her sexual wares on several websites???? Would Scott McClellen be defending her? Would Howard Kurtz be defending her? Would they blame it on right wing bloggers and say that Helen's personal life was her business? No I think Helen would have been drawn and quartered by now.

1. yeah, this two bit hack compared to someone who has interviewed

half a dozen presidents.

Anyone who swallows that must be dumb as a stump.

2. The Right cover their shit with distortion/distraction/prevarication

It still smells to High Heaven...maybe higher even....

[Bluebear]

3. The Republican comparisons are the ULTIMATE juvenile trait

Louis, stop hitting your brother.
"HE started it"

Jennifer, take off that skimpy outfit and put something decent on
"GLORIA'S mother lets her!"

Andrew! Such language for a child!
"Well YOU say it!"

4. great post for dieters

I was just about to eat lunch, but the thought of Helen Thomas' "wares" has put me off for the time being.

11. Sorry, should have posted warning.

5. Jim Guckert is to Helen Thomas as

George Walker Bush is to Plato.

In other words--in their freaky, twisted imaginations only.

6. I hadn't realized Helen had such a sordid past

7. WEll...during the election...

they compared an AWOL chickenhawk....with a brave soldier who faught with honor and earned by his sacrifice for our country 3 purple hearts...and spun it til...i will be darn...the AWOL chickenhawk came out as the truer patriot...so...nothing new with the idea that a male prostitute, using a phoney name...would be compared with the journalist of presidents....and he would come out looking like a better journalist...up is down..black is white...lies are truth.

8. The difference between Helen Thomas and Guckert/Gannon

Helen Thomas served as Washington Bureau Chief for United Press International for 57 years until she resigned in 2000 when it was acquired by Sun Myung Moon's News World Communications, which also owns the Moonie (Washington) Times. After resigning from UPI she became a White House Correspondent and columnist for King Features Syndicate.

Meanwhile... Jeff Gannon/Jim Guckert is a male prostitute (or pimp -- got to be fair) that put up a fake news website that reprints GOP press releases.

<sarcasm>Oh yeah, those two are like twins.</sarcasm>

9. Collection of Freeper comments...

On another DU thread, I posted a bunch of Freeple comments on ManGayte. Here's an indignant one giving the Helen Thomas spin.

"Apparently the whole gay/pen name thing came to not, so the argument is now that he is too partisan? Where then the complaints about Helen Thomas, let alone, as you mention, the rest of the left leaning to left wing press corp?"

Check them out. There';s some extreme desperation going on.

By the way, in my thread I got flamed for posting things off of FreeRepublic. Please don't mis-understand the motives here. I am posting these for educational reasons, and for the unbelievable entertainment value of squirming RW-ers.

10. There can be only one response:

Helen Thomas gives blow jobs? How much does she charge?

[The Whiskey Priest]

12. Oh my GAWD! Helen Thomas

Was running a geriatric prostitution ring and website with full frontal…the shame. What’s next Jerry Falwell hugging the anti-christ…oh, forgot its been done.

13. It's like comparing Shakespeare to Larry Flynt.
