In 2003 the White House targeted a gay ABC reporter for a smear campaign.

I got this off america blog, the reporters name is Jeffrey Koffman.

sorry for the source,but it shows the hypocrisy of whining about Gannons' "personal life". If WND has it, it's GOP talking points, which means it came ultimately from Rove.

A headline on Matt Drudge's website Wednesday evening read: ''ABC News correspondent who filed troop complaints story is openly gay, Canadian.''

Drudge also provided a link to a profile of Kofman in The Advocate, a gay-issues magazine.

Despite White House denials, Drudge told the Washington Post he received a phone call from the White House communications department tipping him off to the information on Kofman, reports the Toronto Globe and Mail.

Critics of Kofman's report seized upon the Drudge headline and pointed to the reporters nationality as an explanation for why he would file "unpatriotic" reports from Iraq, according to the Citizen.

3. In this case, it WAS his PERSONAL life, as opposed to his PUBLIC,

PROFESSIONAL life.
Will Repugs know the difference?

4. Lying, disgusting, worm-infested, slimy, evil, self-hating hypocrites.

This shouod be blared to all the outlets that will listen just to show what a liar, and how pathetic Gannon truly is.

7. Nice find! Kudos to the americablog poster...

... and thanks for sharing that with us.

Could this be yet another reason to hit Drudge about his silence on Guckert*, or would that be giving Drudge more attention than he is worth?

* Is it pronounced "Goo-curt" or "Gook-hurt"? He could go either way.

8. its a john aravois find, of course.

9. I shouldn't be surprised, but

the hypocrisy still amazes me!!!

[jdj]

11. yes, with regard to this I totally forgot the first rule of dealing with

republican accusations.

I was trying to rebutt the accusation that this was Gannon's personal life, when I forgot that RULE NUMERO UNO of dealing with repukes is that anything they accuse you of, they most assuredly have done themselves. Probably more than once.

[devilgrrl]

10. Yes! I remember this one!!!!

They drove the guy right out of the country.

Now, let's not get homophobic and all...</sarcasm>

12. Help an old idiot out. I have not had the time to read every scrap on

the Gannon fraud. How old is AKA Gannon? More to the point, how old was he during Bush I? Directly to the point: Is he old enough to have been involved in the Call-Boy episode during that administration?

[jdj]

13. I think he's only 32, so maybe, if GHB likes them that young

(probably does)

[havocmom]

15. Wouldn't be out of the question then, would it?

Young sometimes = easy to control and I could see that being a plus for some of the players.
