Tom Daschle's defeat in S. Dakota. Somebody planted
phony stories about him. That would also tie Gannon
to our good buddy Nathan Sproul who was active in South
Dakota.

V. Plame's outing and leaking to Bob Novak. Thanks to Ed Schultz who
called the "school" (Bobby Eberle's school) and talked to some women
at the school (2 day diploma mill???) who said that Bob Novak was in contact
with the school.

So a gay hustler using a fake name with no experience in reporting gets credentials
to be with in feet of the president and his press secretary to ask phony questions
so as to manipulate the truth and right now the media is ignoring or trying to
kill this story. (CNN Blitzer & Kurtz http://www.buzzflash.com/editorial/05/02/edi05028.html)

This can be fatal to bush ...... We have to push MANGATE and force the media to
cover it and make the repugs try to defend the indefensible.

1. I agree this is big. We can certainly try our best to make the media pay

attention to this!

[Auntie Bush]

2. No mention of it in the news yesterday.

Not even Keith Olbermann. :cry:

[Zeke]

11. Or...

Or the day before.

Shit, more proff Bush knew about 9/11 came
out and that's getting zero news play, as well.

And why aren't more Democrats yelling about these two stories?

[qanda]

3. Please stop calling it mangate

It's a ridiculous name and it does nothing to relay the seriousness of the matter.

[Botany]

5. You are right it is stupid but it will stick.

No longer can we let the other said frame the story ....
MANGATE = bush poison

Yes, this is a complex and tangled issue but in our
culture sex sells. And the more tacky and the more off
the beaten track the more people will want to know more.

The educated and informed voted against bush in huge #s
but the red state bubbas need their sound bite of info.
Mangate does that.


:kick:

[qanda]

9. I don't understand what it means though

I understand the play on words, but how does it explain the full meaning of this scandal?

[Botany]

13. Because it will stick

man = gay male hustler w/ links to porno and prostitution
gate = people hear that and think scandal

Mangate goes all over the map. We need a quick and sharp word that
hurts bush and his people.

Sure it is stupid and corny but to the people who watch fox or
American ideal it will stick ..... that is the point.

Just google Nathan Sproul and see what turns up .... he is hooked up
in this web too.

We have to get the pot boiling on this issue ..... it will go right to
Rove and bush.

Say it MANGATE

[qanda]

14. You're cracking me up

I'm not mad at you.... mangate, mangate, mangate. There, I said it!

[Politiclo8]

10. Why should we stop pointing out the gay hypocrisy angle?

You keep forgetting that * made a strong statement for his support of a constitutional gay marriage ban in his most recent SOTU. So why is it so wrong to continue to point out the fact that not only a gay but a gay with a sorted past has been working closely with this White House to help ask leading questions during press conferences for over two years?

[Quakerfriend]

4. I bet there is a kinky sex scandle linking Gannon to

some higher ups in this administration!

[AntiCoup2K4]

7. Let's hope so!

That might well be the only thing that will turn the sheeple against the Chimp.

They overlooked every stupid fucking moronic fascist thing he had done for four years because "he'll protect us from the Sodomites".

When they find out Junior couldn't even keep "the Sodomites" out of the "White House", there's gonna be some rioting in the trailer park :evilgrin:

[Botany]

8. No doubt .....

..... I have a smart gay friend read a little about Gannon and with in a minute
he called me up and said, "He is doing somebody."

We have to hammer this. This can take bush down.

:kick:

[Politiclo8]

12. Maybe Gannon donned his kneepads to service...........

Rove after the daily press conferences were over.
LOL

[SpiralHawk]

16. Bingo !

And sooner or later some fine-feathered canary will sing, this I feel.

[BrklynLiberal]

6. I want the definitive link to Rove to be confirmed! That is the nail in

the coffin that I am most eagerly awaiting.

[bunny planet]

15. Please, please, please, let this be the 'little' story that could, and

snowball itself into IMPEACHMENT territory. We need to get these criminals out of office soon. AAR, Salon, and Countdown are our best bets in somewhat mainstream sources to cover this and keep covering it. Unfortunately, Randi Rhodes, the loudest and most informed voice AAR has in my opinion (loud and informed is what we need right now) is going to be out for a month recuperating after surgery. Very bad timing, we need her on this story as she has been tenaciously in the last week.

I've almost given up on the NY Times responsibly reporting or at least not underreporting any thing of significance. Even if they carry a story, it disappears within one day or is buried in the back pages of the paper if it can get them accused of 'liberal bias'. Gone are the days when a Clinton smear story was front page news at the Times each and everyday for years. Their priorities have been screwed up now for a decade or so. PBS has lately been saying 'ok, I'll bend over, you drive' to the * administration. Keith Olberman seems willing to go where no talking head has gone before but I wonder when his 'GE' network will lean on him to shut up or face unemployment. So far, he has been the only television journalist not on his knees pleasuring this cabal in the WH.

I'm writing every Senator and Representative a letter this week as well. I'll be lucky if I have time to sleep or spend time with my family but this could be the turning point we've been looking for. This story can't die. This scandal can't go away. It is our best shot so far at undermining the blivet and his agenda.

[cthrumatrix]

17. we need an investigative media --- no luck in the US

[mod mom]

18. then turn to Greg Palast at the London Observer. He rocks! nt
