WH went to Drudge to discredit ABC reporter (about soldier morale)

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A8158-2003Jul17.html

Some folks in the White House were apparently hopping mad when ABC News correspondent Jeffrey Kofman did a story on Tuesday's "World News Tonight" about the plummeting morale of U.S. soldiers stationed in Iraq.

So angry, in fact, that the next day, a White House operative alerted cyber-gossip Matt Drudge to the fact that Kofman is not only openly gay, he's Canadian.

it's usually best to stop digging. :)

that they sought to smear a reporter for an unfavorable story. But what's also telling is what they consider to be scandalous...being gay and Canadian?? Homophobic, and it shows the status of our foreign affairs when being Canadian is somehow bad. Geez.

He didn't choose to be Canadian. He was born that way.

like free health care and Celine Dion.

:-)

She's such a hoser, eh?

.

He's Canadian AND he's gay? <sarcasm>

Canada is evil! They gave us Celine Dion and Terrance and Phillip!

it appears, never will get it, 'til their butts are (unilaterally)
fading into the Political sunset. Heavy-handed, mob-type tactics
are not appreciated by the American people. Or the rest of the
World for that matter.

Mrs. Marsh: Should we blame the government?
Ms. Cartman: Or blame society?

Boys fathers: Or should we blame the images on TV?

Sheila(Kyle's mom): No,blame Canada, blame Canada
With all thier beedy little eyes have packed thier heads so full of lies,
blame Canada, blame Canada,
we need to form a full assault
its canadas fault

If they person reporting they are UN happy is gay AND Canadian, it must mean the troops are really HAPPY? :shrug:

well, bring it on, repugs. Show the world what a bunch of low-life disgusting people you are!

'Blinded by the Right' you read this book and you will see the reichs MO and the people Brock talks about in his book are working behind the scenes carrying out what he speaks about. One good thing for our side is they don't change up this gives our side a chance to whack em' back! I don't think they are having as much success with their MO as they once where. I believe more people are aware of just what they are doing. Seeing as the Washington Post just published an article about it, the reichs coming apart at the seams. Happy to see it!



Crank up your faxes and keep blasting the media people we've got to stop these wackos they are destroying our country and our countrymen! Truth is on our side!

Is this another case of Re:puke:lican hypocrisy?

how is that discrediting?

who claims SLUDGE is not REALLY a wingnut or has had a CHANGE OF HEART, or was ANTI-WAR------all of which assertions have the collective effect, scary to think of, of implying that SLUDGE really is a DEEP THINKER. He's a water boy(sic) wingnut operative as much as Clarence THOMAS and Miguel ESTRADA.

Could this be why NL last night ran a "canned" piece on overweight Americans and nothing on the bush/blair "love in" in DC? Thet actually answered three questions! Go back to England and go back to Texas you whores!

in pursuit of the truth....Sure

are the COMPASSIONATE kind. Otherwise, they'd be doing some really horrible stuff!

The level of my disgust continues to grow exponentially with every move this crowd of morans makes.

Uh I would hope that they would know better than to read that crap. NO wonder the GI's have such low morale look who is running the show.

Is there any question left that Drudge is simply a tool or the VRWC?

stops -- still canadian? gay? where is the bottom of that damn barrel.

I mean really, is that all they could come up with? I doubt anyone really gives a rat's *ss that he's Canadian or *gasp* a "known homosexual". It's such a rediculously desparate move that you just gotta laugh at the WH.

:hi:

Someone posted a link from a picture on Drudges site and was interested in where it was coming from. After some digging around (don't ask) I found that the pic was coming from a secure PC/Sever within a corporate intranet. So I started scanning the rest of the subnet..... wait for it.... the subnet had within it an RNC mail port. Specifically mail5.rnc.org . Make of this what you will.

so why did Blair speak to the US Congress yesterday? should they have been listening? and doesn't anybody realize at the White House that their "mouthpiece" Matt Drudge is gay?

as long as it serves their agenda. While the religious right brings a ready made power base to the repukes it is the economic arm that controls things. The Fascists don't care who does that attacking as long as it is done.
