Jeff Gannon: Cindy Sheehan's "delusional rantings"

[Bluebear]

Who told this 50 year old prostitute he can write?

=====

After nine days, the activist that has become the face of the antiwar movement in the United States expressed fatigue and complained about how her solitary protest now has a “Disneyland” atmosphere. Cindy Sheehan has been overwhelmed by the support she has received from groups ranging from the pro-terrorist Code Pink Women for Peace to MoveOn.org and Democrats.com, which form the base of the Democratic Party. But it seems her simple message of a mother’s grief has been overtaken by her own contradictory statements about her meeting with President Bush last year and her recitation of Leftist talking points about Israel and empire.

Members of her family have issued public statements disagreeing with her protest and expressing support for the war and the President. Her son is pleading for her to return home. Sheehan’s husband has filed for divorce. But Casey’s mother is now a captive of the antiwar movement, no more able to return to private life now than John Kerry was in 1971. She has vowed to continue her protest until all American troops are withdrawn from Iraq.

The Old Media fawns over Sheehan while she conducts press conferences scripted by Fenton Communications, media consultants on loan from MoveOn.org. Liberal pundits shriek about the “smear campaign” being conducted by their conservative counterparts who would have the audacity to question Sheehan’s motives or extreme rhetoric. Talking heads bloviate that the White House needs to be concerned about this woman and her impact on Americans’ support for the war in Iraq.

But it’s Democrats who need to be concerned about what Sheehan has started. The words she speaks about a lying George Bush murdering her son and members of the administration being held for war crimes sound like the delusional rantings of a John Conyers or Louise Slaughter, and emphasize a radicalized Democratic party that presidential hopefuls like the newly-minted centrists Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden need to rein in order to win in 2008.

1. From someone who thought he was a reporter and a veteran

I guess he knows delusion pretty well.

[bluestateguy]

2. Every Republican's favorite homosexual prostitute and pornographer speaks

:rofl:

[jmm]

3. I guess now that his days of pitching and catching are over

he's decided to take up writing full time.

[punpirate]

4. That gives writers a bad name...

... he's just taken up propagandizing full time....

[readermostly]

5. Speaking of delusional!! Exactly, Bluebear, nobody told him he could

write (well maybe the RWingers). I was hoping we would have eventually seen the last of his writings. My mistake.

[Liberal In Texas]

He does not write very well. Can somebody ask this guy how the DNA

test turned out?

You know the one that was supposed to find out once and for all that he wasn't the Gosch kid.

[magellan]

6. So the masochistic shill is back to writing fiction?

He still sucks at it.

[Al-CIAda]

7. Its Mr. "Divorced from reality". nt

How's it hangin' Jeffy?

[stepnw1f]

8. Ironic Nutbag! (nt)

[Daphne08]

9. Jeff

who? :sarcasm:

[lvx35]

10. Wait, you forgot the picture. Every good pundit has one with their story..

Looks PROfessional, don't he?

[Drum]

13. Haha! What a fake-o this mutt is! And a shill for this prez...

[Bluebear]

26. Hey Drum welcome to DU!

Good to have ya!

[BiggJawn]

31. That's the image in MY mind when I hear the name "Jeff Gannon"....

A big prick.
With a bald-headed guy attached to it.

Should we have one of those famous DU fundraisers to buy Mr. "Bulldog" Gannon-Guckert a CLUE?

[NYC]

11. Code Pink is pro-terrorist?

Most prostitutes are quiet. I wish he would be.

[renate]

12. oh you have GOT to be kidding me

Shouldn't he have slunk back into the woodwork?

Oh, wait, for him to do that would require that he have a sense of shame and embarrassment. So, never mind.

Still, it's pretty funny for him to opine about anything.

[Raksha]

14. Who cares what Jeff Gannon says?

He's a whore, a fake journalist and a nebbish!

[wake.up.america]

15. Is he still hoping for hand outs?

"But it’s Democrats who need to be concerned about what Sheehan has started. The words she speaks about a lying George Bush murdering her son and members of the administration being held for war crimes sound like the delusional rantings of a John Conyers or Louise Slaughter, and emphasize a radicalized Democratic party that presidential hopefuls like the newly-minted centrists Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden need to rein in order to win in 2008."




So... what's the point stud?

I do not think this has to do with politics, it is all about human decency.

[charlie]

16. Voice of the New Media... *snort*

Whatta maroon. Another Idiot With a Webpage is more like it. What's "new" about this medium is that everybody's been handed a megaphone, which means it's as hard as ever to be heard above the din. You have to be exceptional to get noticed, have a singular voice, a keen mind, an intriguing personality.

Or you could post pics of yourself peeing, eh Jeff?

[Swamp Rat]

21. Maybe he will hawk his new tell-all book there?

:D

[Montauk6]

28. Jeff Gannon, Uncut?

[Skidmore]

17. What he's really concerned about is Louise Slaughter--

wasn't she the one who sent letters to the WH wanting to know why he visited there so many times? Didn't she ask for records?

[Dynasty_At_Passes]

18. From the one and only crackpot Jeff Gannon!

He even outdoes Olliver North!

Every day I hear him I can only laugh at his pure pathetic words, as it gets sadder and sadder. :rofl:

Can't wait for Cindy Sheehan and the rest to get back to Texas, my best wishes for her mother. :hug:

[flordehinojos]

19. in the words of an e-mail i received yesterday from a friend who authored

the e-mail.
The Arrogant and the Humble by Carol Wolman

George does not feel he has to answer to anyone about his invasion of Iraq. If he chooses to ignore the mother of a fallen soldier, he is entitled to that choice. After all, he is the president, the commander-in-chief.

Cindy walks through ditches in the hot Texas ranch to talk to him. She pitches a tent in a field and waits patiently to talk to him. Other gold star parents join her. She is as American as apple pie, salt of the earth.

All the scurrilous attempts by Bush and company to besmirch Cindy's motives are turned back by the purity of her grief and the greatness of her love for all the young people so cruelly sent to fight an unjust war. Bush's polls are going down, down, down, and the rats are starting to jump ship.

to which i add, wouldn't george love to have gannon still as a rat inside the white house .


Cindy has become a star, a role which she handles with humility and grace. Her mother has had a stroke, doubtless from the stress, and Cindy has left Texas to be with her, but vows to return as soon as she can. Other peacemakers have taken up the vigil until she returns.

The tide is turning in America.

[Swamp Rat]

22. Of course.

They probably miss each other very much. :D

[Montauk6]

20. His site is hilarious; forget what he says, check out some of the comments

This guy can't even gather a respectable number of sycophants! No one likes this idiot.

[proud2BlibKansan]

25. Check out this other column of his linked there:

"EARLIER THIS YEAR, Maine state Rep. Brian Duprey proposed a law that would prohibit termination of a pregnancy based on the sexual orientation of a fetus. Other lawmakers viewed it as a disingenuous attempt to force them to choose between supporting gay rights and abortion rights, since the bill’s Republican author supports neither. "

[Montauk6]

27. LAME-O! LAME-O! LAME-O!!!!

He is so full of it, this guy.

This question, I would think, has already been tacitly answered by feminists who still back abortion rights even in the MORE LIKELY case that the couple would prefer, say, a boy over a girl.

And what an insult to gay rights activists. Well, what do you expect from a coward shivering in his see-through closet?

[Botany]

23. I suck @ writing but GOOD LORD is this bad ......

<The antiwar playbook hasn’t been updated since the 1960s and what worked then to turn a nation against the struggle to stop the spread of Communist tyranny isn’t going to be successful in 2005. Cable television, talk radio and the Internet has destroyed the Old Media’s ability to significantly influence public opinion. Already, there have been counter-demonstrations that support the United States’ efforts in the global war on terror and other mothers who have lost sons are able to come forward to say that their sacrifice is for a noble cause.>

[ColonelTom]

24. While we're questioning motives...

Liberal pundits shriek about the “smear campaign” being conducted by their conservative counterparts who would have the audacity to question Sheehan’s motives ...

... a radicalized Democratic party that presidential hopefuls like the newly-minted centrists Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden need to rein in order to win in 2008.

While we're questioning motives, I wonder why Gannon and every other conservative pundit are giving Democrats free "advice" on what they need to do to win in 2008. Hmmm....

[DoYouEverWonder]

29. Who ever thought Gannon would be the last

of a dying breed.

Bush's never had the support of the majority of people in this country. That is why he had to steal two elections in order to attain power. Now that more and more people are finally waking up, Bush's support is rapidly disappearing.



Give it up Gannon. It's over.

[ellie]

32. What the hell is Providense?

30. My Official Jeff Gannon Prophesy

I have cast the Mighty Mighty Oracle Beans and divined that so-called Jeff Gannon (Guckert) will be back in the news Big Time before the year is out.

Expect the Bush White House gay prostitute, the Gannster -- both intentionally and inadvertantly -- to keep shooting Lightning Bolts out of his Republican ass.

While I'm at it, I also prophesy that BushCo and the Oil Republicans will continued to bring America higher gas prices (what the hell, might as well get on the record with a no brainer).
