Guckert claimed that his family began being harassed a week ago. Asked how this was possible, when his real name didn’t even surface until late Monday, he held to the view that "it was out there a week ago, and that is when it started. My mother and my brother and his wife in Pennsylvania were being harassed with phone calls and threats."

The party of tolerance strikes again.

The lefty bloggers are going to be left with nothing other than that they outed a gay reporter for a tiny news service. Meanwhile, the right-wing bloggers nail the head of CNN and the anchor of CBS.

Joe Strupp's stories about Gannon keep suggesting that he represented some kind of security threat to the Bush White House; actually he represents an ideological threat to Strupp's buddies in the White House press corps, and that is why he is being hounded. One proof of this: Strupp keeps referencing Gannon's controversial question from the Jan. 26 press conference, but he never gets around to quoting it in whole or in part. Strupp's own pro-Dem bias no doubt accounts for the omission.

Also Strupp twice refers to the owner of the Talon News website as a "Republican activist" -- does this "activist" have a name? Strupp is apparently too lazy or incompetent to supply it; apparently innuendo is Strupp's game, whether the target is Gannon or Talon's owner. I respect Gannon for subjecting himself to this inquisition, but it is laughable that someone like Strupp (and his pals) presumes to be judge and jury of Gannon's credentials as a journalist.

I admire Gannon for being out there willing to appear on any show or do any interview.

As opposed to a certain Eason Jordan who had gone into hiding.

If this story holds, the leftist bloggers will have whipped up a fury over nothing. But they're already spinning it as how *they* invented this new blogging concept to go after corrupt power officials and liking themselves to the new Bob Woodward (see www.slashdot.org and, of course, dailykos)

Like to see more reporters like Jeff Gannon, who asks questions pertaining to the deeemonkrats, which they like to keep covered up, and keep bashing President Bush with their commie socialist questions. Go Gannon.

I originally thought there might be something to this story the way Err America was caterwauling about it like a stuck pig, figuring a stopped closk may be right once or twice a day, but now it's obvious that it's a tempest in a teapot.

Jonah Goldberg over at the Corner has it right: so far the conservative side of the blogosphere has bagged Dan Rather and Eason Jordan, while the liberals have outed a guy from Talon News. There's no comparison.

Ooo Ooo Ooo He writes under Another Name! The Horror! The Total Newness of the concept!
Hey "Intelligent" Lefties, it's a "Nom de Plume", big whoop. Been done for at least three centuries now. Wise up.

1. The difference between Gannon and a writer with a pen name is that

Gannon or whatever the hell his name is got into the White House. Um, yeah.

[Vickers]

2. Those idiots still don't see the implications of "Jeff"'s links to the WH

This is gonna be great.

Hey lurking freepers, say this to yourself: "It's just a third-rate burglary, it's just a third-rate burglary..."

:P

4. Don't you love how they are kidding themselves?

It must be quite a difficult task to keep lying to each other. Quite a support group they have going. Notice no one says a thing about the prostituion angle? Or that he's a tax cheating deadbeat?

I know if the positions were swapped and it was the Democrats doing what the Republicans are doing....I'd have been outta the Party a looong time ago. The GOP of liars, moral hypocrits, war profiteers, criminal opportunists, and chickenhawks have just about spent their legacy, methinks.

I find it hilarious that all the things they claim to hate, always end up on their doormat. And the silly saps keep eating all the bullshit that's fed to them. When that's the diet you are forced to subsist on, does it starts tasting good after awhile?

3. I love these guys...they're so dumb it's like watching ants in a farm

Hey dumbassed wingnuts!
No, it's not a "Nom de Plume", it's a fucking fake name, and he used it to gain access to things that only a select circle can get. This lying, hypocritical bastard used a fake name to get into the press circle, Snotty Scotty KNEW he was using a fake name and addressed him "Jeff", and then tried to deny knowing Gannon/Guckert/Fuckert at all. Plus, his name is linked to the outing of Valerie Plame AND several gay pornography sites (which normally wouldn't matter, except for the fact that he works for the party that believes gays will all burn in hell). This fellow INVITED further scrutiny when he emailed the admins at DU and basically told them to bring it on. Sorry, but if you can poke Dan Rather with sticks for making an error in judgment, we are certainly entitled to take down a paid press whore.

5. Prob'ly so, prob'ly so...

"My mother and my brother and his wife in Pennsylvania were being harassed with phone calls and threats."

No doubt from Ldotters demanding the return of those danged Christmas gifts!

6. These dummies take his word for that, too.

He clearly lied about his websites on his CNN interview, so why should anyone believe this is true? Only the people who love the bullshit they're fed.
