"My mother and my brother and his wife in Pennsylvania were being harassed with phone calls and threats."

I wonder what kind of people might do this kind of thing.....

Evil people would have done this.

As angry as I have been about Micheal Moore and John Kerry, it never occurred to me to call them and threaten them.

Same kind of moronic liberals who claim to be peaceniks and antiwar but are the first to beat up anyone who is against their way of thinking. We've seen the likes of this kind of scum at every anti-Bush Protest! These are the kind of people who make threats!

Guckert said he had recently contacted legal representation "for quite a few things,"

He should sue the pants off of Brock et al. Then again, they'd probably drop them for free.

It's funny you say MM and JFnK. Those are the only two creatures that I have come to loathe from the campaign. Oh all the letters I have created in my head to send.

They'll get theirs. The big ol wheel will come around.

"I have always had an attorney on retainer, and now I believe I will have to put him to work," he said.

Good for you, Jeff! Go get 'em.

E & P was the outlet that fronted the stories about Gannon as news in the first place.

I really feel sorry for this guy. He didn;t deserve this. Sure, he was a bit of an opportunist, but so was Bill Gates. You have to be to get ahead. Now we have nobody to represent the conservative voice at WH press briefings.

LMAO the libs have their hopes so invested in this it will be hilarious to see how they react. Denial is my bet, and a rise in the price of aluminum.

Meanwhile we've got Eason Jordan's head in a bag.

" He said he sought the permanent "hard pass" when he first wanted to cover the White House, but after finding out he needed a congressional press pass -- which he'd been denied -- to get that far, he utilized only the day passes.

After watching many press briefings, one can assume that the exalted press credentials denied Gannon and bloggers and members of the internet
( who God forbid, might actually ask an intelligent question)
must require the holder to be a sneering,ignorant liberal with an agenda and a pretentious French accent.( See David Gregory )
Having some knowledge of current events, accounting,the military and strategy health care, US history,world history, etc are obviously not prerequisites to get White House press credentials.
Imagine a press briefing where bloggers,conservative talk radio hosts and on line scribes were allowed to ask questions.
The quality and depth of the questions would blow the Mastodon media out of the water.
Which is probably why they are so fearful.

It's good to see that Jeff Gannon is granting interviews. Laying low may have helped keep the heat off, but it also created a presumption that he had something to hide.

Good. I hope he drags the corrupt MSM through hell for what they have attempted to do to him.

You are correct. He didn't deserve this.

I would like to know who appointed Joe Strupp the keeper of the truth?

When asked how he felt about Talon and GOPUSA removing his stories from their sites, and what that might suggest about him, he said, "That bothers me sometimes. I stand behind everything I wrote, and

I admit, this is the only part of the story I don't understand.

Did you see this Jeff Gannon interview; he mentions that he isn't under any kind of investigation in the Plame matter although he was interviewed by the FBI some time ago. Also some interesting info re the confidential file.
