Jeff Gannon aka Jim Guckert, and gay smut

Oh man, reality is truly stranger than fiction.

"Jeff Gannon", the White House press propagandist "correspondent" for the fake "Talon" news service, turns out to be using a nom de plume.

A group of dKos diarists have been peeling away the layers of Gannon's fake persona, summarized by World O'Crap. In one of those diaries, this revelation is made by Radically Bitter: Among the domains owned by Gannon/Guckert are these:
jeffgannon.com
Hotmilitarystud.com
Militaryescorts.com
Militaryescortsm4m.com
In case this isn't clear enough, those last three are gay sex-themed names. Suddenly, his picture looks appropriately in character.

So why is this relevant, other than today seems to have become "Republicans and sex hypocrisy day"?
In reviewing White House press conferences from the past year, Media Matters for America has noted numerous instances in which Gannon's lobs -- leading questions that often include false assumptions favorable to the Bush administration -- have allowed McClellan to move to friendlier turf, away from having to answer questions on such issues as the proposed Federal Marriage Amendment; <...>
So in addition to the "hyprocrisy and sex" thing, we've got the "hypocrisy and gay" thing.

1. "Hot military stud". Let's see, did he register that thinking of Smirk?

Pay per view of Smirk in his flight suit?

[rinsd]

2. How would his being gay be hypocritical?

Is this a guy that has written harshly about homosexuals?

If not, this pretty fucking low.

[Lex]

4. He is the lap dog of the right wing republicans

and right wing republicans will take every opportunity they can to discriminate and slander gays and lesbians

THEREFORE,

if he is gay and is also the lapdog of rightwing republicans

THEN

he is a hypocrit.

[WillieWoohah]

28. It's never ok to mock someone because of their sexuality

You may be correct that he is a hypocrit but that still doesn't justify making fun of him because he's gay (if he is). Anti-gay comments, even those directed specifically at gay conservatives contribute to the attitude that it is ok to make fun of gay people.

[Liberal Veteran]

31. I don't suffer collaborators gladly....

And gay republicans are collaborators in their own oppression.

I will never shirk from calling them out for their hypocrisy and if that means I have to make them understand how their party really treats gays by publically outing them, I will.

[Lex]

37. I'm with you on that.

Very well said.

[Lex]

36. It's funny you preach to a gay person about

these things.

No one, certainly NOT ME, was advocating "making fun" of gay people, okay?

[Stephanie]

41. If he's gay, while posing almost nude at militarym4m.com

while at the same time doing what he can to enable the bigoted, homophobic bush administration? It's totally relevant. Hypocrisy, thy name is BUSH.

[Guy Fawkes]

5. I second that...

11. here's another one saying kerry is homosexual

[rinsd]

13. Thanks....

As far as I knew he was just asking softball questions.

17. Hey your welcome and your post

got me to post my hundredth! Yippeee! I love you guys!!!!!!

Kerry Could Become First Gay President
By Jeff Gannon
Talon News
October 12, 2004

WASHINGTON (Talon News) -- Inasmuch as Bill Clinton is considered by some members of the African-American community to be "the first black president" because of their perception of his positions with regard to minority issues, Democratic Sen. John Kerry might someday be known as "the first gay president" were he to win the White House in November.

The Massachusetts liberal has enjoyed a 100% rating from the homosexual advocacy group, the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), since 1995 in recognition of his support for the pro-gay agenda.

Despite his stated opposition to gay marriage, Kerry and his running mate, Sen. John Edwards (D-NC), who also boasts a 100% rating from the HRC, can expect to receive a high percentage of the gay vote, estimated to be around 4 million. Kerry voted against the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) in 1996 and both candidates oppose the constitutional amendment to protect marriage sought by President Bush.

3. Do I sense a bit of homophobia in your post?

I just need a bit of clarification. 99% of gays and lesbians are liberal. A very few are drawn to the dark side. You are trying to make it seem like we're all neo-cons or something.

[Ian David]

10. Rough Statistics (from memory)

Between 15-30% of gay people voted for Bush.

85% of Jews are in favor of gay marriage. (That means there's 15% for whom the lesson of The Holocaust was somehow missed).

75% of Atheists and Agnostics are in favor of gay marriage.

75% of non-college-educated African-Americans are against gay marriage.

About 50% of college-educated African-Americans are in favor of gay marriage.

100% of Republicans are morans.

[Stephanie]

43. You miss the point

This is the story of a nobody, with no journalism degree or credentials, who suddenly acquires admission to the White House press corps. Not only that, he is CALLED UPON in press conferences, unlike 98% of the credentialed journalists there. And his questions are always phrased in a way that is very favorable to George W. Bush. It almost seems as if he has been PLANTED THERE to ask favorable questions. And yet, nobody knows who he is...

[Placebo]

6. mmm...hot military studs...

...

sorry. i seem to have slipped on a puddle of my own drool. :9

[w13rd0]

7. Actually.

There's speculation that the "gaymilitary" stuff is set up to ENTRAP homosexuals in the military, thus making it not hypocrisy, but downright unAmerican.

[Bluebear]

9. Oooooh now THAT sounds Republican.

It all fits now.

[rodeodance]

18. what will Bush do? will he find out?

[Ian David]

15. That would be ONE way to bring our troops home

Sign them all up to receive gay porn from HotMilitaryStuds.

They'll be safe at home faster than you can say, "All things just keep getting better."

[AnnInLa]

12. no homophobia, only exposing hypocracy

At many bush news conferences, when tough questions are asked, the go-to guy is "Jeff Gannon," who frequently asks the great one questions about gay marriage, the gay agenda, etc.

Here are some domain names registered to the Bedrock Corporation. As World O'Crap informed us:


But this would make perfect sense, because when the folks at Kos did some digging into the background of Jeff's various sites, they found that they were all registered to "Bedrock Corp" of Wilmington, DE, and the address provided was a Mailbox, Inc location. However, poster dqueue did some further Googling and found another address for Bedrock Corp.of Wilmington -- this address was a single-family home, and it was associated with a "Jim Guckert" who was listed on a business directory page for court reporting and secretarial services in Wilmington.

16. Military Escorts? Soliciting prostitution? With servicemen?

Not to mention, "conduct un-becoming"?

[EST]

21. Certainly looked like soliciting to me.

Must be all the mercury in the air...

[NervousRex]

20. Here's the pic...

from Guckert's AOL page...

[w13rd0]

22. Is it confirmed or confirmable...

...that this is the same guy that has been standing in the WH press pool with a $50 journalism degree? The absurdity of it all is just mind boggling. At what point are the morans going to realize they are being positively stupidified with orchestrated propaganda?

[Riding this Donkey]

23. I have either come across this website or I

have seen it somewhere on a tv special. I can't remember! Damnit

Does anyone else have that same feeling?

[Riding this Donkey]

24. We can sit back now and watch the press go after this right??? NOT

[Riding this Donkey]

25. by accident of course!

:crazy:

[NervousRex]

26. Hard to confirm,

but here's the link:
http://members.aol.com/jdg17/
notice the JDG17...
May not mean anything, but there is more than a passing resemblance to the known pics of Gannon/Guckert.

[SidDithers]

35. Same guy in both pics...

nice find.

[w13rd0]

19. Has Talon News lost its credentials...

...to be in the WH Press Corp yet? If not, why not? And why have none of the other reporters questioned this? "Professional Courtesy"? Sorry, but leaving him there makes all of them look even MORE fake and stupid, as if that were possible.

[paineinthearse]

30. Talon never had credentials

They got into the WH press room on day passes.

They also applied to the Congress for credentials, but were denied.

[Blue-Jay]

27. kicking because the title made me laugh.

[paineinthearse]

29. What is the connection between Jeff Gannon and JIM GUCKERT?

I didn't read it here, is the connection made at KOS?

[frictionlessO]

32. they are probably one and the same, from what I gathered. n/t

[paineinthearse]

33. I got that, but

what I don't understand is where and how KOS made the connection. I don't have an account there, is there more detail how they connected the two names?

[Eric J in MN]

34. I think it had to do with website registrations (nt)

nt

[TacticalPeek]

38. No more Jeff Gannon to kick around?! ALREADY??!! Damn!

Hey, let's kick him while he's down, anyway.

Welfare of his family, right. More investigation! Thar's gold in them thar hills! Fool's gold.

39. I don't see this story on the drudge report

You know if this was a left leaning journalist, Matt Drudge would've had this posted at the top of his website. I did submit the story to him, so lets see how fair Mr. Drudge is.

42. Welcome to DU

Why won't Drudge post the story? This is a classic web investigative resarch story.
