Freepers are out like mad trying to discredit the latest from Gannongate

[sabra]

I am guessing we are on to something here... check out the threads @ DU, and some of the first comments at Rawstory, the freeper operatives are out, and they are trying in full force.

Well guess what Freepers, it ain't going to work... We are going to keep peeling the onion!

1. They held a fricking rally for the guy

Even though everything about his prostitution was posted, Kristinn who runs the DC chapter of FR still held a rally in support of the guy. Funny thing is, the rest of FR actually thought he was crazy to host a rally for someone who clearly the Repuke party needs to disassociate themselves with

[sabra]

3. I remember that, wasn't it at the "Monica" gate of the WH?

I think they had a whole 2 people come out, or something?

[LynneSin]

6. Yep - here's a picture EarlG got of the event

[DoYouEverWonder]

11. Looks like Kristinn

likes boys too?

[FreedomAngel82]

25. Interesting

So I wonder who Kristinn gets his orders from? They seem to surpress people there as well.

2. It's his fans over at freerepuke.

I think most of them don't want to hear about him and some despise him. But there are still some that like him.

[FreepFryer]

4. Yer right. He and his lover at the White House are in full court press.

And it's only making it more delicious as a story.

They're approaching freefall!

5. Fans at FR? Wasn't Hannity a big fan of JJGG?

[stanwyck]

13. Yep. I saw video of Hannity referring

to Gannon as a "distinguished journalist" when Gannon was a featured source on his show. Don't think good ole Sean has come clean on Gannon's real name, real occupation, and real background. Silence. The hypocrisy of these guys. No. Sean's not talking about his "distinguished journalist" source. Who was never a Marine. Ask Quantico. Just act like it never happened. Which is the way of the Bushies. If the news is bad, make it disappear.

20. The Free Republic posts where JJGG boasted that he supplied

Hannity with material was posted here at DU. If I were better at the computer, I could find it. :shrug:

7. Example:

From RawStory:

<SNIP>

maybe he just forgot to check in or out a few times..... please someone exxplain to me the importance of this.... i want to prove that the whitehouse was 100% involved..... but this isn't helping much

Sorry 'buckeye', not going to happen....

[Straight Shooter]

16. Hey, isn't buckeye the infamous freeper of the Dan Rather memo?

If Free Republic shows him posting on the Jiffy-Lube Jeff case, then that's the White House giving him the talking points. You can bet Scotty's bottom on it.

edit: oops, it's not on FR, but is it the very same buckeye?

[sabra]

18. Good question!

Who ever it is, they were there waiting for the various sites, to post their Gannon story. And start with there, "what's the big deal" bit.... Buckeye's posts are one of the first posts....

[Clark2008]

23. That was Buckhead

named after an affluent area of Atlanta where the guy lives (LOL! I wrote "lies" and had to change it, but that would have worked, too.)

[Occulus]

26. no, that would be 'buckhead'

but it wouldn't surprise me if it's the same person, posting under different names.

On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog.

[kentuck]

8. They thirst for all the juicy details...

I hope they get so many juicy details that they founder on them....

[Southsideirish]

9. Are they ordinary garden variety freeps or are they bush's inner circle

boys out on the boards and forums trying to cool things down?

[sabra]

12. Don't know for sure, but they are working extra hard...

they are some of the first posts in several threads at various sites, it means they were waiting in the wings...

[EFerrari]

10. We have a winner! Sabra, claim you potholders on Aisle 3.

Seriously, how LONG do they think the fires they set can just burn out of control?

[riverwalker]

14. the FOIA documents

are a treasure trove. Why all those 20 minute visits? Was he delivering drugs to someone?

[sabra]

15. Me think, picking up "packages"

it's so obvious that he was plant. If you notice the footage of him in the press conferences, he was almost always reading from a paper, so who gave him those questions?

[Occulus]

27. speaking of footage

Isn't the WH full of cameras, for security?

Can we FOIA the video from those?

[hootinholler]

22. Yes, but they are not complete!

Look at the transmittal letter Page 2, The SS states these records do not reflect the type of badge he was issued, because the access control system does not capture that info.

Aren't they obligated to look it up manually then? Or at least provide a cross reference to the badge ID to type of badge. The provided response is incomplete with regards to the request. They also do not provide the policy under which the badges were issued and the responsible authority (Gov't employee) for issue.

I also want to know if these passes allowed 'unescorted' access to the white house. Most gov't space requires an escort for temporary passes if there is anything even remotely sensitive in the building.

I would also like to know if he actually attended the briefings he was present for. Perhaps cspan recordings would be helpful in that regard.

On edit: Cross posting left out context.

[hootinholler]

17. Why yes we are going to continue pealing the onion

Because they sound so lovely.

:evilgrin:

-Hoot

Just kidding, couldn't resist.

[sabra]

19. LOL, I made the edit :-)

[EFerrari]

24. Isn't that just you all over?

:hi:

[DulceDecorum]

21. No kidding
