Gannon and Homosexuality...
Do you think it is possible that Gannon was picked to be the plant because he was gay. This being so that when he was caught it would distract people from the real issues/make the media afraid to be accused of being homophobic in persueing it? Just a thought I was having...

1. Very possible. The press should be covering this with a cannon
Hitting every aspect of it. The shame of the whitehouse pandering to a prostitute! The irony that the white house that benefited from homophobia also benefited from a homosexual. The fact that he wasn't qualified for the job in the face of conservative dogma about working hard to get a head. Oh my. I better stop.

2. that is my feeling too
he was picked because any perceived "attacks" on his credibility can be attributed to attacking his "lifestyle".

that is one way to look at why he was placed in this position.

3. oh I get it
like the rw screamers saying the reason we were against Gonzalez is because he is Hispanic, or Condi because she is black. Yes, that does make sense.

5. You are a wise hippiegranny!
The rw screamers have a hard time reconciling the fact that it was the gay activist community that broke this story...they love to overlook that little key fact!

Pay no attention to the gay activists outing the fake-reporter hooker!! Look away, look away!

6. I don't think they intended to get caught
I think the correspondent job was an excuse to have Gannon in the White House, where he could sneak off with Karl.

7. No.
But Armstrong Williams was definitely picked because he's black.

9. There is no proof that Gannon is Gay.
There are hustlers that are not gay. Maybe his site was a ruse to entrap gay military personnel to blackmail them or get them kicked out of the serivce. There are many possible scenerios. Merely presuming isn't real journalism.
