Andrew Sullivan agrees with Gannon/Guckert

http://www.andrewsullivan.com/

...The substantive case against Gannon is trivial; the irrelevant case against him (the one that's fueled this story) is that he's gay, has allegedly been (or still may be) a prostitute, and may not agree with everything the gay left believes (although I agree with David Corn that the evidence that Gannon has written anything even remotely "anti-gay" is laughable). The real scandal is the blatant use of homophobic rhetoric by the self-appointed Savonarolas of homo-left-wingery....


--------------------------------------------------------------

Looks like Andrew is still bitter at the homo-lefties for exposing his hypocrisy (when his internet ads looking for bareback sex were exposed)...

I haven't heard of the "bareback sex" ads.

That is indeed both funny and sickening.

both had revealed naked pictures in their internet ads...

Guckert was selling sex for money, Andrew was looking for bareback sex, knowing that he was HIV+ (although he revealed this fact in his ads). But he was being hypocritical just like Guckert - blaming gays for irresponsible sexual behavior, yet acting recklessly himself.

No wonder, Andrew sympathizes with Ganon/Guckert.

"His supporters have also argued that it was a violation of his privacy to publish information about his sex life."

So let me get this straight. It's OK for Sullivan to criticize Clinton's sex life but it's a "violation of privacy" when someone criticizes Sullivan's sex life? Uh, OK. I think I'm starting to see a pattern here...

He well knows of the hypocrisy upon which we speak.

I don't know Jeff Gannon, and I don't know ANYTHING about his personal life -- including whether he's gay or not.

Only about his various professions.

The complete inability of so many people to accept the facts of the case is astounding.

I see him once in a while on Bill Maher's show. The guy is openly gay and admits that he thinks Bush's policies toward homosexuals are wrong, yet votes Repuke anyway.

Sullivan is just one more "Roy Cohn" GOP parasite toeing the party line. He is Ann Coulter without a dick, that's all.

priceless. bet andy is one of jeff's clients.

in effect. Media manipulation and propaganda are de riguer ! Didn't you get the memo ?

You aren't even allowed to mention 'the program they dare not speak its name'.

What is he talking about?!?

Can't these people understand that the guy was NOT a journalist? He did NOT work for a real news source? He did NOT have any credentials? And his so-called "personal life" involved breaking the law?

Let's say he was a hetero who sold shoes, and got into the briefings. Same thing, except it's legal and his websites wouldn't be pornographic. Would they look into it then? Or would they say we hate shoes?

Okay, let's say he was a hetero Democrat who sold shoes and shilled for a Democratic group and asked questions like, "The preznit is talking about spreading democracy throughout the middle east by bombing it; how can Europe work with people like him who are divorced from reality?" Oh yeah... THEN it'd be an issue.

this is why you're hearing about the sex little bit that you are, to the exclusion of his skullduggery

This isn't about Gannon and it shouldn't be, it should be about the Mis-Administration.

Of course, Sullivan thinks that the REAL problem is in pointing out that righties hate gays and a gay who sides with the righties is a chump. Not that it isn't true, but that you shouldn't say so, because then it makes Sullivan look less like a sophisticated pundit and more like a whore.
