How can you be taken seriously when you say your from Pajamas Media?

[trumad]

This clip will help be the end of the worst political blog ever. Ha ha

1. The guy was a dumbass, mentally challenged freeper.

Durbin figured him out, after trying to be patient, and walked off.

2. C&L and the rest of the blogs who have picked this up...

have not yet realized that it was Gannon-Guckert! LOL

[FreedomAngel82]

26. Sure sounds like him

and watching the video I heard the guy say (you can barely catch it I hardly did) "Talon N--" before he changes his mind with it. I have read that wasn't him but he was there. You can see him behind Gonzalez. On the video where the protestor is taken out of the room at the end you can see him and he tries to hide from the camera but he does look at the camera.

3. What did the little buzzard mean by...

"Dan Rather knows something about it."

When Durbin said that he wasn't familiar with "your publication", the "reporter" made the Dan Rather comment.

I wonder what in the heck that means?

[Wilms]

4. I think Gannon is tied to the Swiftboaters. n/t

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

5. I think he's basically saying, the RW blogosphere was responsible for

Rathergate/Memogate. I believe the "proportional font" speculation post appeared from "Buckhead" on Free Republic shortly after the 60 minutes show. Dude turned out to be an Atlanta lawyer of some type.

I have little doubt that certain members of these blogs like these, like "Buckhead", and Jerome Corsi (ghostwriter of Swifties, also a freeper) are actual players in the game for Rove, and I'm sure some of them, esp. FR, possibly Drudge etc., are actually funded, partially or entirely, by Righty/Scaife type of money. They may be useful for anonymously floating certain types of rumor.

The guy was basically saying "ask Rather about us. We GOT him. (the right wing blogosphere)"

10. Mary Mapes (Rather's producer) book excerpt has a lot on this

expecially more on Buckhead

<snip>

As it turns out, Buckhead is no stranger to conservative causes. The Los Angeles Times revealed that his name is Harry W. MacDougald, and he is an Atlanta lawyer with years of experience working on right-wing issues. In his day job as a litigator—where MacDougald presumably uses his real name—he is affiliated with two conservative legal groups, the Southeastern Legal Foundation and the Federalist Society.

MacDougald was also a key player in drafting the petition that eventually won a five-year suspension of Bill Clinton's Arkansas law license after Clinton's misleading testimony in the Paula Jones sexual-harassment case.

From earlier in her piece

<snip>

Things began to change at about 11 a.m., when I started hearing rumbles from some producers at CBS News that a handful of far-right Web sites were saying the documents had been forged.

I was incredulous. That couldn't be possible. When we'd shown the president's people the memos, the White House hadn't attempted to deny the truth of the documents. In fact, the president's communications director, Dan Bartlett, had claimed that the documents supported their version of events: that then Lieutenant Bush had asked for permission to leave the unit.

Within a few minutes, I was visiting Web sites I had never heard of: Free Republic, Little Green Footballs, Power Line. They were hard-core, politically angry, hyperconservative sites loaded with vitriol about Dan Rather and CBS. People posted their questionable recollections that electric typewriters in the 1970s did not do "superscripts," the small "th" or "st" suffixes following a number and lifted higher than the other letters. This was important because, in the Killian memos, "111th" was sometimes typed with a superscript. Other bloggers claimed there was no proportional spacing on old typewriters—using different widths for different characters—even though some of the old official documents had proportional spacing. The claims snowballed.

I remember staring, disheartened and angry, at one posting. "60 Minutes is going down," the writer crowed.

[laheina]

23. The Federalist society seems to be coming up a lot lately. nt

[FreedomAngel82]

27. Her book is VERY good

I recommend it highly to understand what's going on in the "media."

[lapfog_1]

11. The memogate was a plant, a dirty op by the Scaife

"vast right wing conspiracy"... and just like Clinton before him, Rather and his people fell for it.

THAT was the message being delivered by this Pajama POS today. "I'll get you.. and your little dog too!"

[boobooday]

6. Pajamaline!

Durbin called it "Pajamaline!"

:rofl:

[emulatorloo]

7. and what the hell is up with that "Little Green Footballs" crap

where do they come up with this nonsense.

[bunkerbuster1]

21. You do know where the LGF acronym comes from, right?

Vietnam era slang for the locals.

"Little Gook Fuckers."

Sweet, huh?

[emulatorloo]

24. yuck . . .

[gkhouston]

You can actually buy this badge for $20 (or $6 for the embroidary patch)

[EFerrari]

14. That is so sad.

[LynneSin]

15. I'd almost buy one as a joke gift but...

...I don't want those assholes to have my address or my credit card information

[EFerrari]

18. They probably already do.

:(

If Rimjob is funded, he must put it all up his nose because that site looks like hell.

[abex]

13. dem officials should id a reporter before taking his questions nt

[Lars39]

20. Every time I see the words I think of "pillow talk".

Which in Gannon's case could be pretty accurate.
