“Jeff Gannon”…One Last time

February 11, 2005
by Sher Zieve

“Jeff Gannon” is a pseudonym. So what? Pseudonyms have been used by writers, for years. Do you remember Mark Twain? His real name was Samuel Clemons. Jeff Gannon’s real name appears to be James Guckert. It’s not a crime but, the leftist media would have us believe that it is. Again, it is not. Dem leaders are, now, actually screaming for an investigation into the “Jeff Gannon affair”! Note: Jeff, if you had only been more “liberally-diplomatic” with your question, none of this would have happened. But, Jeff being the straight-shooter that he is, opted to be direct. For a conservative, that can prove hazardous. And it was. The reason I’m writing this, hopefully last article on Mr. Gannon, is that my emails on this subject have actually increased; since yesterday’s article. So, hopefully, this will clear up any residual questions my left-leaning readers have. But, I’m not holding my breath. Purple is not my favorite color.

Most of the emails I received included the “fact” that Jeff has “pornographic and gay sites online”. OOOH! However my, most reliable, source advises that it is not true. Before coming to Washington DC, Jeff was in software. The site domain names were registered, by Jeff, for a client or clients. The same source advises that these sites were never brought on-line, for said clients.

Another “damning scenario” from the left is the question of Jeff’s credentials as a journalist. Somehow, the left actually believes that the WH journalists are still impartial. Good grief, kids! Journalists haven’t been “impartial” for decades. Get a grip! Also, “straight-news” reporters (they don’t really exist in old media…it’s now a joke) are not the only journalists allowed into WH press conferences. Where have you been? Oh yeah, I keep forgetting about all of those PETA and ELF conferences you have to attend. Even the old warhorse Helen Thomas only writes an extremely liberal-biased column, now, and she still regularly attends Presidential press conferences.

The real issue is that old leftist media doesn’t want New (slightly more conservative) Media into their club. That’s the real issue. Nothing else. They’ve had a monopoly on beating up Republican presidents for years and they refuse to give it up, without a fight. Face it old media…your side is fading away, thankfully. Like it or not, we in the New Media plan to enter the old-media’s hallowed halls of press conferences, join you clubs and (uh-oh!) maybe even move into your neighborhoods! That’s what you’re really afraid of…isn’t it?

So, Jeff or James, wherever you are, you took one for all of us in New Media. I, for one, thank you. But, if possible, don’t be a stranger. We’d like to hear from you. The best to you and your family!

Middle School Students Encouraged to Send Demoralizing Letters to Soldier

Pfc. Rob Jacobs is a soldier based ten miles from the North Korean border. His home is in New Jersey. Therefore, it was not a surprise that he was excited when he received letters from sixth-grade students at JHS 51 in Park Slope; near Prospect Park in Brooklyn. But, that was before Pfc. Jacobs opened and read the letters. Monday, David Andreatta of the New York Post reported that these letters were “strewn with politically charged rhetoric, vicious accusations and demoralizing predictions that only a handful of soldiers would leave the Iraq war alive.”

The students’ indoctrinator (AKA “teacher”), Alex Kunhardt, had encouraged them to send letters to Jacobs that were to be filled with leftist rhetoric against the Iraq war, the soldiers and President Bush. At least nine of Kunhardt’s students followed his orders. As an example, a letter from a Muslim boy included: "Even thoe you are risking your life for our country, have you seen how many civilians you or some other soldier killed?" and "I know your trying to save our country and kill the terrorists but you are also destroying holy places like Mosques." To add insult to injury, Andreatta also advised that the envelope had a ‘smiley-face’ stamped on it.

Although “indoctrinator Kunhardt” refused to return phone calls, his principal Xavier Costello responded in an inordinately cavalier fashion when he stated: “While we would never censor anything that our children write, we sincerely apologize for forwarding letters that were in any way inappropriate to Pfc. Jacobs. This assignment was not intended to be insensitive, but to be supportive of the men and women in service to our nation." You can tell he really meant it. Sure he did.

This is merely another example of leftist “academia”, now at the lower-grade levels, indoctrinating our children into their malicious and ever-increasing sadistic philosophies. It’s one thing for the leftists to write letters and complain to government leaders but, quite another to try to demoralize our troops by using their new and improved desperate weapon…our kids. This is a new low, even for the Left. So, the next time you hear a liberal/leftist say “we hate the war but, support our troops”, remember this scenario. Then, you can fairly and accurately (and with all intended sarcasm) say: “SURE you do!
