Gay outrage: a self-parody
:rofl:

By JEFF GANNON
Friday, August 11, 2006


WHEN I HEARD conservative pundit Ann Coulter refer to former Vice President Al Gore as a “total fag” during a recent television interview, I immediately prepared myself for a tsunami of gay outrage over the remark. I swear that I heard Media Matters for America CEO David Brock’s head explode, even though his posh, George Soros-funded office is miles away from my Capitol Hill abode.

Within hours, Brock and his merry band of character assassins were waging an e-mail jihad and internet petition drive against MSNBC declaring, “Hate has no place on the airwaves.” The call to action prompted a barrage of vicious anti-Coulter postings from the usual suspects in the liberal blah-gay-sphere.

Jeff has his panties in a bunch all for nothing.

Media Matters responds:

Summary: In a column published in the Washington Blade, former Talon News "Washington Bureau Chief" Jeff Gannon falsely accused Media Matters of "waging an e-mail jihad and internet petition drive against MSNBC" "hours" after Ann Coulter called Al Gore a "total fag." In fact, Media Matters had posted the petition in question nearly two weeks earlier. In addition, the petition addresses "major television networks" and "the media" in general, not MSNBC specifically.

1. I guess ole
guckert gets a hardon everytime he thinks of David Brock who was blinded by the right but now sees the light, is educated, well researched, a good writer, and his site is dynamite. The "conservatives" amongst us hate the site, ergo its great.

coulter has no character so where is the evidence of assassination?

2. my Iron-o-meter is off the charts on this one.
not to mention the strange post-post-post-modernism of a fake reporter defending the hate speech of a "writer" whom many feel is a fraud using false evidence.

Maybe Gannon and Coulter should get married; then they could release all that built-up abstinence that seems to be interfering with their ability to think and communicate.
