Gosh! Whatever will they do? GannonGate is going Mainstream! |
|
the awful, sordid story is actually on FOKKKS news! gannongate they called it! how in the hell do they keep this nasty business from the ears of the little blue haired old ladies at church? the sleazy story might upset those who were so upsettable and vaporish over the last legal president and his shameful depravities, heaven forbid!
how will they hide the GAY PROSTITUTES IN THE WHITE HOUSE AND GOVERNMENT headlines from certain cretinous bush cultists? they could give a flyin' crap about the fake reporter/fake news angle, but GAY PROSTITUTES ALLOWED TO ASK THE PRESIDENT QUESTIONS?...this is the stuff of real outrage amongst the more sanctimonious and pompously pious scripture misquoters.
how oh how will kkkarl hide these unseemly shenanigans from the people who think god put bush in charge of the world, and that he's Christ returned to rid the land of hedonous gay Muslims?
my guess would be: diversion of the lowest kind. a little something to take their minds off that ugly gay prostitute/homophobic/hypocrisy business. and that worries me.

2. My Gannon/Guckert LTTE is in the paper today |
|
As far as I know, this will be the first mention of the scandal in this paper. I read it every day, and so far have seen nothing. I'm glad they put it in on a Sunday...more people will read it. It will give the fundies a little something to spice up their day.

3. Yep, a REAL BIG diversion... |
|
but it would be nice for a journalist to follow the real story. Not just do damage control, follow Gannon to the Plame affair. That's the real story - the one that could bring down the house.

7. In that case the story would disappear along with him. |

You'd hear nothing but crickets from that point on.

6. You are absolutely right |
|
and that is why this story will amount to nothing, because they don't want you to know the real story

5. sorry, but I would be surprised if anything comes from it |

First of all the story has gone on too long without anyone except the blogs picking it up.
Second, those "little blue haired old ladies at church" watch faux, and it will do what it takes to convience people that this is a non-story.
Third, you have very few democrats in congress supportting it. Biden would not sign the letter, even though he said he thought there should be an investigation.
Also it seems we haven't learned from past experience, whenever the pressure is put on the administration they put out a terror threat:
1. Whenever Kerry started to have an upswing, a terror alert would come out. It was especially blatant right after the Democratic Convention. 2. When pressure started to mount against the Rice confirmation they put out a bogus story about 5 Chinese terrorists. The story turned out to be several years old, and involved an immigration issue, NOT terrorism. 3. The way 60 minutes, and Dan Rather were set up says everything. It does not matter the lies constantly spouted on faux, nothing was as bad as what Rather did
Until we have our "own" Fox network, there is no way we can adequately combat this. Air American is a good start, but we need a television network

Not a peep or a whimper from the cartoon chasing Dobson or the funeral crashing Phelps.

17. I emailed Phelps and asked him |
|
why his church hasn't picketed the White House over Gannon. Still waiting for an answer.

13. Actually I am some others on the AOL Spirituality message boards have |
|
been relaying messages on Gannongate, the hardline Christians there are silent, I dont recall any notable response to the articles we have left.
I wonder if they even open the threads anymore, are they being told from the pulpit that it is a liberal lie campaign. Dont know. All of them are sure quiet about the whole affair.
Had it been Clinton or another Democrat administration, they would be camped outside the white house demanding answers, with the press dogging their steps.
Frustrating!

16. Dear Abby, Dear Abby, thank you so much |
|
for helping to spread the truth in such a direct and non-offensive way. You are making the news available to people, who may then choose to read and acknowledge it, or ignore it, according to the dictates of their free will.
That is far more than the mass media is now doing.

22. Al-CIAda, there's an interesting thread on the first site you link to. |

They don't seem very happy about it and and they sure don't sound like they're defending him. http://www.baptistboard.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/1/2894.html#000000

18. Diversion, yes, and some help from their audience |
|
It always helps when the faithful put fingers in their ears and sing "la-la-la".

My fundy father n law almost spit out his breakfast this AM as Dan Schore started hammering out this story on NPR. I think it will get bigger as this week's msm news cycle picks up speed. Remember, we on the net are always about 2 weeks ahead.
