Yes, I Like Killing Bad Guys: A reply to Duncan Black

The problem with Duncan "Atrios" Black is that he believes he knows what the real motivations of Conservatives are. For instance this from his blog today: more...

1 Before Iraqi elections (let's just us that as a watershed mark): the Left says that democracy cannot be spread through illegal invasion, creating more enemies, more instability, it will never work After Iraqi elections: the Left says that democracy is not what was intended anyway, and now it's about killing bad guys, which is impossible because we keep building instability by having democracies/democratic reforms I admit it, I am confused. I have no idea where their logic is anymore, other than the need to build a tautology in which they can never be proven wrong.

2 And of course, everyone forgets about Afghanistan, unless it is about how we really knocked out the Taliban in order to build some oil pipeline. Because yeah, it had nothing to do with it being a safe harbor for al-Qaeda. I think the Left thought it would be a big graveyard for American forces and democracy would never work. And they are the reality based community?

3 As a liberal, I'll try to address some of your points: "Our motive in invading Iraq was not to begin the domino effect of democracy, however that is the result of our actions. Bush is responsible for this. And for this the neo-cons are celebrating--and rightly so." I disagree. It seems to me that the purpose of invading Iraq was to start a domino effect in the region. Most of the neo-cons (and people like Tom Friedman and Andrew Sullivan, who are sympathetic to the neo-con perspective) thought a democratic Iraq could serve as an example to the rest of the Middle East. For them, this- not the largely exaggerated fears of WMDs- was the major rationale. Of course, to sell this to the American people, the Bush administration had to beef up intelligence assertions on Iraq's weapons programs beyond what was actually known. Nobody would have wanted to go war over some fruity "democracy promotion" scheme (see: Tom DeLay's reaction to Bill Clinton's war against Milosevic).

4 I should also add that some of the Administration's actions- notably its "revision" of the Geneva Conventions after 9/11- made me pretty skeptical of its sincerity in promoting democracy. But since being re-elected, the Bushies have done a lot of things right: standing up to Putin in Ukraine, pressuring Egypt for more democratic reform, etc. So we'll see where this all heads. If Egypt becomes more democratic, if we see a separate Palestinian state emerge, if Syria leaves Lebanon... hell, I'll give credit where due...

5 "If Egypt becomes more democratic, if we see a separate Palestinian state emerge, if Syria leaves Lebanon... hell, I'll give credit where due..." Why don't you buy a lottery ticket while you're at it?

6 Hey, I'm going with the liberal guy on this one . . "Google" professor Tom Barnett, listen to his speech last year at the war college . . it's outstanding, but very insightful on the Middle East as well as long term views and policies. GWB couldn't have sold the Democracy Domino thing if he'd had the salesmanship of a slick used car dealer . . it wouldn't have gotten to first base in Congress . . let alone get discussed or voted on! While I'm not saying anybody lied . . well, we are dealing with lawyers here! Probably just made the facts fit the sales pitch! But it seems to be working better and faster than was expected . . Syria has one hand over it's ass now and if they can be kept on the defensive, things will change fast in that area. I believe Assad pissed in his Cherrios when they blew up that dude in Lebanon . . and it's a catalyst as well as the death of Arafat. But the footprint/domino thing is surely happening . . watch it happen! Of course, you gotta know, those new democracies are going to be shaky as hell for years, and we're going to need to be there . . if we aren't, some other ashole will be!

7 I believe everyone is on track except, guess who as usual? The master plan is working. Denying it is just hanging on with a losers mentality. Bush and company pulled this one out of the hat. Doesn't take a genius to see it. He won the election, he won the re-election, he won in Afghanistan, he won in Iraq. Lebanon will regain their freedom from Syrian oppression. He will soon take care of Syria and Iran. He and America has accomplished everything the liberal weenies said we couldn't. HAIL BUSH. I get a kick out of loser mentalities. The latest, we couldn't take on Syria and Iran. We are spread too thin. News for you defeatists. There's a big difference between a police action and all out attack. We could take Syria in 1 day. Iran 3 days. The secret is to kick their asses and then pull back to Iraq. They start trouble again. You kick their asses again until they have no military machine left. The youth of Iran is begging to replace the idiotic moolas in charge. We wouldn't need to stay and make targets out of our troops. Just break the back of their government. If you call it that. Then the people of Iran will take care of the rest. wine-holic, Brad R, large. All of you are correct. Sometimes the end justifies the means. We couldn't let the Islamofacists expand. The end would have been world war. If not tommorrow, then in 20 years when the moolas had nukes. The good guys are winning. It's obvious. Denying it is silly. The world will be a better safer place. If we Americans get a little richer, so be it. We paid the price. Why not? Months ago I said a Mac Donalds in every city in the middle east. Skin tight jeans on Arabic teenagers and American music played on their stero's. Vemon said NO WAY. Time will tell. I believe I've got a winner. Just think. Less than four years until these same losers will be shouting how great a president Hillary Clinton will be. Ah, but the Jedi knights will again be here to turn back the forces of evil. Vemon, I invite you to join the winners. Come on man, give it up. It's more fun on the bright side. The dark side always loses. Don't you go to the movies?

9 Brad R., Just curious how you think the Bush administration has revised the Geneva Conventions? By not according terrorists rights and protections which the Geneva convention implicitly denies them?

Posted by: The Colossus at March 01, 2005 07:14 AM (GSQXS)

10 Grey, I was just being sarcastic. Brad R. was musing about all these "ifs" that had just as much promise decades ago, if not more. Hell, it was only 15 years ago that the first Infada came to an end and we saw 10 years of relative calm in Israel and the Palestinian territories. That seemed more of a cause for optimism than now. I'm optimistic about many things, but I choose to be realistic about others. I'm optimistic that we're making progress on dismantling al Qaeda and that this will mean we can breathe a little easier. I'm optimistic that the new leader of the Palestinians has more credibility and more of a desire for peace than what we've seen in the last 5 years. I'm optimistic that maybe, just maybe, the Iraqis will be able to take care of themselves in the next few years so we stop seeing all this bloodshed. But, I'm also realistic in that it's no secret many of the problems over there are based on cultural differences. And many Westerners don't realize or appreciate that. You can't drop a KFC or a Levi's outlet store and suddenly all the problems vanish and people are "free." Freedom includes being able to choose your future, not just choosing which fast food outlet to go to tonight. If things stabilize over there and they say "thanks very much, but now we want you all to leave," should that be respected? Anyhow, at the risk of losing everyone's attentions, all I meant before was that this comment by Brad R.: "If Egypt becomes more democratic, if we see a separate Palestinian state emerge, if Syria leaves Lebanon... hell, I'll give credit where due..." has a lot of big ifs attached to it, and he's only identified a handful. It's going to take a LOT of time and the potential to fail is pretty high. I was just pointing that out, and that if he's holding his breath for it to happen in the near future, it's a pretty tall order. Anyhow, don't get me wrong. I hope you're right, greyrooster, because that will imply that peace has taken root over there. I'm just saying it's going to take a lot more work than I think most people realize.

11 Could be. I just think you complicate the process to much. Simple people, simple answers. I base my hamburger, tight jeans and music statement on what I have seen here in the states. Hamburger is usually the first word an immigrant preteen learns. Arab girls buy levis the day after they get here. Check out the local music store in an Arab neighborhood. Our culture is considered superior by young people everywhere. Only, the old backward terds slow the spread of western culture. Islamic schools and their brainwashing for example. The entire world is copying everything western. Food, music, dress. Our culture will win this war with fundalmentalist Islam as surely as our military will win on the battle field. Those in power now will be a different group in twenty years. Fundalmentalist Islam cannot stop modern ideals and technology from absorbing them. Personally, I believe Islam has peaked and will now experience a slow decline. It grew in uneducated, backward societies. Satellite TV, Computers, Levis, Western music, hamburgers and George Bush are the sure death of Islam. Poor dumbasses. You can't stop progress and western culture is progress. Another thing. Have you noticed the war in Iraq is not now one of Islam against America as was 1st shouted. Now it appears to be Islamic group against Islamic group. Things are beginning to turn. Lebanonese are shouting Syria out, not America out. We will leave as soon as practical. Haven't we always? The liberal news media is full of shit. My son and other marines that I talk to, tell me of grown men hugging them and begging them not to leave with tears in the eyes. My son's marines are surrounded by children at every street corner. Kids that cheer the marines, grabbing their legs and not letting go. Women nod with appreciation whenever some bearded old shit isn't looking. WHY AREN'T WE SEEING THIS ON TV. My son's marines are going house to house. The occupants are more and more helpful everyday. As fear of reprisal leaves the populace opens up more and more. Now there are some who tell where and who the insurgents are. Soon this feeling will start to steamroll. I can see the time when marines and Iraqi police have to protect those accused of being terrorists from their neighbors wanting revenge. The sun is starting to shine. Enjoy it. When I asked my son about the 100,000 dead civilians he laughed and said they must have hid the bodies better than they hid the WMD. When they search an area it is searched. The bodies must have been sent to Syria.

Posted by: greyrooster at March 01, 2005 10:28 PM (CBNGy)

12 Maybe I complicate things a little, but that's only because the Middle East is a complicated place. If it wasn't, there would be far fewer problems over there. Western culture might be superior, but it will still take a lot of work. There are deep-rooted beliefs among the people in charge over there, and they're not going to give up that power willingly. Will we see an Eastern Europe-style change? Possibly. But people forget that the Middle East pretty much still operates on a tribal level, and even if some of these governments fall (such as in Iraq), you're going to have the kinds of conflict you see now with different tribes looking to be top-dog. It will definitely take a while. But, like I said, I hope you're right. It's a fucked up part of the world, that's for sure.

Posted by: Venom at March 02, 2005 09:36 AM (dbxVM)

13 I'll drink to that. And I already have. So must go.

8 This poor fellow is obviously the result of that well-intentioned, but disastrous policy adopted some time ago to "deinstitutionalize" the mentally ill. I can picture him perfectly: a scruffy, unwashed dipsomaniac, decked out in tattered, cast-off clothes, sitting in front of a computer in the public library, blogging aimlessly between sips of Sterno. Really, he is more to be pitied than censured.

12 Just out of curiousity, I'd like to see Right Wing bloggers and/or comments threatening left folks. Ted says there's plenty of it. I don't recall seeing it, but I only frequent a blogroll of fairly popular sites (with the exception of the Free Republic message boards). Are there frequent threats against liberal politicians and figureheads? I'd just like to see the opposite challenge results. I'm not saying there aren't any, but like Teddy there, I don't run into them.

Posted by: Hoodlumman at February 28, 2005 11:07 AM (1iJzK)

13 I have to smile at the fact this writer calls Bush a Catholic Jew. First he's not Catholic and second, he's not Jewish. Have you noticed Rusty that these letters you get (and I get too) the people have absolutely no sense whatsoever and don't even make sense. Unbelievable. I'm not a blogger, just a blogger lover and commenter, and I get hate mail like that. I hit spam and hope it goes away. That's also why I'm anonymous to most people, too. Cindy

Need Help

I need help doing a couple of things with the blog. If you can help please e-mail me at: mypetjawa*at*gmail*dot*com.

Regular readers know why I blog anonymously. I would like to keep things that way. Here's what I need to do, but don't know how to do it.

a) set up a pay-pal and amazon honor account, but do it in such a way that would protect my privacy. I don't even want my city to be seen by those donating. Yes, I'm that paranoid.

b) get a blog ads thingy going. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to start with blog ads.

All this because I want a little bit of that crazy blog money I keep hearing about!

4 Rusty Shakelford would do, so would the name of your blog "myjawa.com" anound you still remain anonomous. You can also open a PO Box for the ad money and just put a note on your left side here saying this space is free for ads. Not the ads being free, just that you have a really long blog that people can pay monthly to paypal for the space they take up on your blog. When it comes to asking people if they want space to advertize on your blog; then also talk to other bloggers that have ads and ask them how they got them. You could make a lot of money,Rusty,because your blog is long and you have so much space here on the right side for advertizements. Give that a shot. Cindy

Posted by: firstbrokenangel at February 25, 2005 09:43 PM (PEKrh)

Rusty Shackleford is a 'Little Eichmann' (Updated for Ted Rall)

Reader comment:

Wake up. You are just one more "little Eichmann" who is day by day destroying our freedoms and drawing this country closer to its destruction.
Pay back is a bitch.

And we wonder why people like Ahmed Omar Abu Ali feel justified in planning the murder of our President?

UPDATE: I'll contribute that as my Exhibit A in refuting Ted Rall's stupid assertion that the Right is meaner than the Left. Since that is a reader comment from TODAY, I'll take it as qualifying for his challenge.

Others taking up the challenge:

John Henke's comments: "I hope you all die, die painfully."

Decision '08 finds this nugget: "'an event like this [the assassination of Bush] could be just what this country needs'."

Polipundit has this from Dick Gephardt:Â“[Bush has] declared war on the American people.Â”

John Hawkins has a photo at an anti-war protest which reads:"We support our troops when they shoot their officers."

Rusty Shackleford Being Targetted by Online Jihadis? Cool

It's not that I don't appreciate the hits coming from Pal Talk any less than the hits coming from Front Page Magazine. I value all hits equally. It's just that, you know, since the mass murder of the Armanious family in New Jersey I've been taking the death threats a little more seriously.

Pal Talk is the online forum which Hossam Armanious, a Coptic Christian, would discuss theology with members of the Religion of Peace. It's also the place where death threats were issued against him. Many now suspect the murder of Hossam Armanious, his wife, and two daughters were related to those chats.

Does any one have access to Pal Talk? For all I know I'm getting compliments on my Gannon related satire and not on my criticisms of Islam.

Maybe somebody could let me know what they're saying about the Jawa over there? I have no idea how to use the service.

And if I have finally had a fatwa issued against me, let me just say, it will be time for some serious cowbell !!!

Posted by: Jane at February 23, 2005 10:01 PM (+7VNs)

8 Rusty, Since Paltalk is basically an IM client the best you could do is ask the admins if they keep chat log records. If you get lucky you might have even been a room topic. The only other source of info you could get is by hacking the IP's of the hits you were getting and stealing the chat log (normally a text file) to find out what they were saying. Most normal clients can be busted into with a combination of NMAP and BRUTUS. You'll have to be careful with BRUTUS though. Norton Antivirus recognizes it as a virus and will delete it if you start it up without disabling Norton's. Maybe if you're lucky one of the Paltalkers will leave you a comment and you'll know. They might even give you some cow bell. Good luck Rusty. Here's hoping the only fatwah against you involves a trackback.

10 Support your local KKK chapter. Only the Klan can protect decent christan people from the Islamic threat. If you don't have a local chapter, now is the time to form one. As in the past when the Knights Templar protected Christians from the Islamic threat so shall the brave Knights of the Klan protect you now. The federal government has shown they care more for the rights of America's enemy than they do of yours. Time for people to take control and protect themselves from threats and murders in our country. The Klan will protect you. Support them. We need new members, big members with big you know whats. Instill the same fear in them that they instill in our people. Fight back now. Support the Honorable, Brave Knights of the Klu Klux Klan. They will fight for you.

14 Rusty, I'm sorry you have to go through this BS, but thanks for all you are doing. Keep up the good work.

15 greyrooster - What on earth are you talking about? White supremacists support the jihad and the Palestinian cause. As long as bin Laden doesn't want to buy a house in their neighborhood, the Klan is okay with him. Read David Duke's anti-Bush/anti-Israel diatribes. In fact, your comment is so uninformed, I doubt that it's genuine. Rusty - Pal Talk sounds like it's become a meeting point for all kinds of weirdness..and their homepage graphics make it look so harmless. It would be nice to find out what's going on there. I'm glad Dean linked to your site - excellent posts.

17 Rusty, misery loves company, re: that email I got that I forwarded to you. Someone picked ME out from the blog, saying they found me through there, and would I help move money or some shit like that from Iraq? Apparently, the email was from a "soldier" still in Iraq. I have seen on the news and read in the papers about scams being sent through emails wanting people to help in this way. I knew it was all bullshit, but the fact that they made the email sorta personal by mentioning that I blog on the JAWA REPORT kinda scared me...a little. So, I did what I'm supposed to do...didn't respond, just deleted it. Anyone else get an email like this that mentions the Jawa?? Take care Rusty, thank God you blog anon.

18 Rusty, You haven't met greyrooster before this?? Go back to your site when you were on vacation and you'll find him and Venom all over the place. So what he said shouldn't have been a shock so I'm just assuming you never met him before this. As to PalTalk, I'm not going to download it but you know how to hack, so just do it. Cindy

Posted by: firstbrokenangel at February 24, 2005 12:50 PM (PEKrh)

19 Cindy, sure he knows greyrooster...he's been here a long time, maybe he was just taken a little aback at the KKK comments...I found them amusing myself. Sometimes, you don't know if a person is joking or not, especially on here. Given the circumstances lately with Rusty, it's normal to be a "little" paranoid! ;-)

Posted by: Laura at February 24, 2005 01:08 PM (ptOpl)

20 I find it hilarious that the majority of you fail to see greyrooster for what he is: a fucking racist psycho. I guess he finally snapped and now EVERYONE knows what a twisted fuck he is. I hope the police catch him before him and his kkk buddies hurt innocent people. Rusty, I've said it before and ill say it again...I hope no harm comes to you but how can you beg for a fatwa to be issued against you but then get rattled over this. At what point are you going to admit that you take things too far?

Posted by: Jim at February 24, 2005 03:23 PM (p6jU/)

21 Oh and Laura, that sounds like a phishing scam. Probably scanned the blog, copied emails and used jawa report as a reference to make the email look more authentic. You did the right thing.

Posted by: Jim at February 24, 2005 03:41 PM (p6jU/)

22 Thanks, Jim, I thought so too....people don't realize that when they reply to an email, that automatically lets the sender know the email's a legit address! Some shit for when they say "reply to this email if you want your name removed from future mailings"...yeah right. Greyrooster has been here a long time, and I've agreed with him on many issues about the war, our soldiers, his own son is in Iraq and he's a VietNam vet, and a staunch Bush supporter. I dunno.....maybe it was a tongue in cheek remark?

Posted by: Laura at February 24, 2005 04:10 PM (ptOpl)

23 Greyrooster are you having a laugh? I read your comments a lot and i think at times you are quite funny but after that outburst well, im lost for words. Are the KKK not just another form of Fundalmentalism ........ Rusty hang in there try not to let it get to you but please stop asking for fatwas? I dont want to have to find another blog as good as this.

24 What's a matter with you people. Who would you want to have watching your back, a dedicated Klan member or a cowardly, self admitted little snitch like Jim? The Klan are true Americans. Doing what they think best for their country and race. Have they made mistakes? Sure. You telling me the Democrats and Republicans haven't. Bullshit. Half of you say everything president Bush does is a mistake. The other half says Clinton is the devil incarnate. Everyone can change their objectives. Crap, forty years ago when people seen a group of black people they would say look at all those republicans. How many are now republicans? Thirty years ago we had the solid south. Which meant the south was solid democratic. Now it votes republican. Dr. Jack Shepard is now a republican. Now, I ask you why can't the Klan change as the republicans and democrats did? Over and over the liberal weenies on this blog keep reminding us that all muslims are not terrorists. Just a few in the minority. Well, all Klan members are not terrorists. Just a few. Should we condemn the entire organization because of the few. If so, then nuke the middle east. Same thing. The Klan wishes to save America. What's wrong with that? Turn them loose. They will solve the muslim problem in America. Isn't that what half of you are saying.The klan has expertise we can use in our fight against Islam. They know how to tie a hangmans knot. Do you? They have experience in burning Chur, er, mosques. Do you? We need this experience. Do you know which branch of an oak tree to throw the rope over? They do. The Klan works for nothing. Try to get an expensive federal employee to work at anything. The Klan cares about normal American citizens. The Federal Government only cares about weirdos and minorities. The Klan speaks for the white man. Who else does? Got to go now. Have a date with a raghead who has been saying bad things about America. Going to make a good Christian out of him. Hang in there brave, valiant bloggers. I'm sure your words have terrified those that wish to kill you. remember the pen is mightier than the sword. Wanna bet.

25 Considering the actions of the clan in the past you cannot be surprised by peoples reaction to your comments. Yes i agree by all means defend your home and family but going out and attacking people randomly because of what they are saying come on we all say things and i personally cannot see any man of colour wanting to join the KKK no matter how much they've changed. Or would they not be allowed to join? Just a thought greyrooster The pen is mightier than the sword..... it would be if it was pushed in your eye ha ha

Posted by: greyrooster at February 26, 2005 02:27 AM (CBNGy)

29 SPARKY: Correct you are. It takes a fundalmentalist to communicate with another fundalmentalist. Need help with a muslim problem. Call 1-800-theklan. Guaranteed results. Support your local Klan. Making America safer. Donations accepted. Have you priced any ropes lately? Ridiculous. It's an anti Klan plot.

30 Hey gayrooster, Everyone knows that the only thing you had a date with was some C_I_A_L_I_S, lubricant, and some gay porn. That is why your left hand is sore. Stupid old bitch. You and the klan can suck terrorist dick.

Posted by: Jim at February 26, 2005 01:39 PM (ZHLD1)

31 Poor little social reject Jim. Try the bridge boy! It will remove the pain from your miserable little life. You are nothing, so why exist? You seek attention by accusing others of what you do. How else would you think of it? Unhappy? Most cowardly little shits like you are. I told you about the bridge. Let it be the only manly thing in your pityful life.

You know what this site needs? More Gannon-bell!!!

I think I've found the perfect animation to replace Ace's cowbell. Call it Goldstein inspired. I'm not sure whether to call it gaybell or Gannon-bell? Either way, some one really ought to forward it to the Media Matters gang.

While your thinking about the deep significance Gannongate has on the structural dominance embedded in the pseudo-imperialist capitalism of the right-wing military-industrial MSM, why not pay Goldstein a visit and give him some cash? No cash? Why not do him a solid and click on some of his advertisors?

And if you have any questions for Jeff Gannon you might want to drop them in Ace's comments. Now that is going to be a post in need of some Gannon-bell!!

Warning: Not Safe For Work more...

Jerry interviews galactic white trash, Luke and Leia Skywalker. Sparks fly as Jerry brings Leia's secret lover, Han Solo, on to the stage to confront Luke in a battle for Leia's heart.

Classic Springer. Classic white trash.

UPDATE: Jerry Springer, Luke, and Leia now speak on today's news and blogosphere events. If you would like Jerry, Luke, or Leia to comment on one of your posts, just link this post and send a trackback. If you are not trackback enabled, drop me a line.

Luke Skywalker on Hincheypalooza:"Right! Next you'll be telling us that Darth Vader is our father."

The REAL MEDIA MATTERS Agenda

Markos 'Screw Them' Zuniga takes offense at the above advertisement by USA Next running at The American Spectator, former home of one David Brock--the man who owns Media Matters and employs a number of prominent left-wing bloggers.*

Apparently his readers take offense, too, and he has inspired a number of 'clever' photoshops. The America(it's all about the gay cock)blog actually has a funny photoshop (inspired by Atrios) and is the least offensive. Dohiyi Mir and Suburban Nomad so 'cleverly' comes up with a photoshop of Bush's 'real agenda' of torturing prisoners at Abu Ghraib and stomping out the Constitution, inspired, no doubt by Kos' use of the word fascist to describe the GOP today.

I, on the other hand, propose this less offensive photoshop that Kos, Atrios, and Media Matters in general has inspired.

UPDATE: Kevin Drum and Digby chime in on those Swift Boat liars. (via Meme Random)

UPDATE II: James Joyner has a good run-down on the controversy.

*For the record the banner ad is pretty lame and inflamatory. But mostly it's just gay.

1 Wait, you're comparing an organization whose sole purpose to to slime another organization because it thinks piratizing SocSec is a bad idea, and Markos' stupid, one-off comment? Regardless, I think your mockup is pretty good. I wouldn't go so far as to call it funny, but it's just as fair as everything else that's floating around.

3 Yes, AARP is all about gay marriage and anti-military. /sarcasm The USA Next ad is stupid. Markos' comment was disgusting. Big difference. Thanks for compliment on photoshop. Personally, I think it sucks.

4 The USA Next ad is stupid. Markos' comment was disgusting. Big difference. See, I think they're both stupid and disgusting, but not morally equivalent. I'm not going to rehash the stuff about what Markos said, but I think intent and context is important here, and the USA Next ad is a disturbing part of a pattern. Thanks for compliment on photoshop. Personally, I think it sucks. We're always our worst critic. I thought the statement you were making was good. I mean, not what you're trying to say about Kos, but the implication about the Photoshopping going on. But really, lighten up a little!

11 I couldn't hang at Drum's site. They honestly hate any conservative views and values. The comment section degraded to name calling, and rebublican bashing. It is sick over there. Honestly the rank and file of the AARP are not against the military. Many Many Many are veterans, and lived through the "war era". They are not neccesarily for Gay Marriage either. although I am speaking only about the AARP members that I KNOW.... Their values, and morals do not allow room for anything like Gay Marriage. That may have something to do with the fact that I live in Northern Maine and the views here are predominantly conservative. I can only comment on what I know to be true though.

Jeff Gannon/James Guckert to Sue Media Matters?

UPI is reporting that Newsweek says Gannon/Guckert plans to sue Media Matters. Yes, that Media Matters. UPI:

Former Talon News writer Jeff Gannon has threatened to sue the liberal groups and blogs who exposed his lack of credentials, Newsweek said Monday....
Gannon told Newsweek he was the victim of a "political assassination" committed by groups like Media Matters for America, a cyberspace watchdog organization founded by former investigative journalist David Brock, and is considering bringing suit against them, though the group does not seem concerned.
"Everything we wrote about him came from the public record," Brock said.

Was this a political assassination? Yes. Is there cause for a lawsuit? I don't think so.

Reporting that Guckert was a gay prostititue, that's a fact. Reporting that he was a schill, that's an opinion. You can't sue because some one has a poor opinion of you.

RELATED!

1 Jeff Gannon isnt factually a shill? Rusty yo ureally believe that. Rhetorical skill aside, you really believe that JEff Gannon received his press pass as just being as qualified as the other journalists in the audience who had to prove identities and work for an actual news reporting company? You mean to say that the FACDT that GAnnon was given credentials PRIOR to the creation of Talon News ( A GOP texas) website, that GAnnon was not placed there as nother paid off pundit? At some point , like GE moore says, doubting doesnt make sense. NO matter how conservative you are, I wouldnt try to rationalize this one, that is unless you are in just to sharpen skills of rhetoric...common sense is too obvious here. ernie

Posted by: ernie at February 21, 2005 09:09 PM (ursvs)

2 It turns out that being a schill is all in the eye of the beholder. I heard all of the questions that he aked Fleishcer in all of his press conferences. None of them seemed less stupid than the questions posed by ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN etc. A schill just happens to be the guy who is asking the questions you don't care about.

Posted by: Rusty Shackleford at February 21, 2005 10:16 PM (JQjhA)

3 Just got done looking into more info about the moral value anti-gay marriage patriot jeff gannon. what a story! my god, it amazes me conservatives defend this. this has freud written all over it. really, if this had been clinton the "moral value" people would be screaming for investigations. in this day and age, how does one with a hooker with an alias egt into the white house briefs? who i nthe whitehouse is gannons boyfriend? this is hilarious. Gannon on GOPUSA describes himself as a "conservative man" with who has a gun and drives an SUV (what a man). This is great, the mask is off, we see what actually exists. crazy closet gays wearing their patriotism on their sleeves as they exist in bad faith. just like the movie american beauty, all that right wing hate jsut being a function of sexual frustration.ahhahahahahahhaha ernie

Jeff Gannon NOT Seen at CPAC

Despite the disappointment that our crack young reporter Ace failed to get a pic of Gannon/Guckert at last weekends CPAC, the Llama Butchers pulled through and were able to uncover this photo of Bill of INDC Journal, Gordon the Cranky Neocon, and former White House frontman and gay icon Ari Fleishcer after one too many jello shots from Ann Coulter's belly-button. Needless to say, Matt Drudge was not amused.
