News and commentary about the anti-gay lobbyAugust 22nd, 2007
Remember Jeff Guckert? He’s the former talon.com White House “reporter” who worked under the pseudonym of James Gannon and had access to the White House. We later learned that he had exceptionally slim reporting credentials, but he was a Washington, D.C. escort.
Guckert’s/Gannon’s former employer, talon.com, is now reporting that “Jim Gannon” (it looks like they got his name wrong) is about to release a tell-all book in which he outs Karl Rove, President Bush’s long-time advisor. This, of course, has all the credibility of any other Guckert/Gannon story — or a talon.com story. Like this one:
Soon-to-be-ex Bush advisor Karl Rove denied internet rumors that his adoptive father owned several Pierce-Arrows from the gay 90s.
Pierce-Arrow didn’t manufacture cars until 1901, although they did produce bicycles before then. But then, maybe talon.com is now the new Onion.
Update: Did you think I was off the mark in comparing talon.com to the Onion? Think again (scroll down to “Side Dish”). And if you still have doubts, look at this.

In this original BTB Investigation, we unveil the tragic story of Kirk Murphy, a four-year-old boy who was treated for “cross-gender disturbance” in 1970 by a young grad student by the name of George Rekers. This story is a stark reminder that there are severe and damaging consequences when therapists try to ensure that boys will be boys.
When we first reported on three American anti-gay activists traveling to Kampala for a three-day conference, we had no idea that it would be the first report of a long string of events leading to a proposal to institute the death penalty for LGBT people. But that is exactly what happened. In this report, we review our collection of more than 500 posts to tell the story of one nation’s embrace of hatred toward gay people. This report will be updated continuously as events continue to unfold. Check here for the latest updates.
In 2005, the Southern Poverty Law Center wrote that “[Paul] Cameron’s ‘science’ echoes Nazi Germany.” What the SPLC didn”t know was Cameron doesn’t just “echo” Nazi Germany. He quoted extensively from one of the Final Solution’s architects. This puts his fascination with quarantines, mandatory tattoos, and extermination being a “plausible idea” in a whole new and deeply disturbing light.
On February 10, I attended an all-day “Love Won Out” ex-gay conference in Phoenix, put on by Focus on the Family and Exodus International. In this series of reports, I talk about what I learned there: the people who go to these conferences, the things that they hear, and what this all means for them, their families and for the rest of us.
Prologue: Why I Went To “Love Won Out”
Part 1: What’s Love Got To Do With It?
Part 2: Parents Struggle With “No Exceptions”
Part 3: A Whole New Dialect
Part 4: It Depends On How The Meaning of the Word "Change" Changes
Part 5: A Candid Explanation For "Change"
At last, the truth can now be told.
Using the same research methods employed by most anti-gay political pressure groups, we examine the statistics and the case studies that dispel many of the myths about heterosexuality. Download your copy today!

Anti-gay activists often charge that gay men and women pose a threat to children. In this report, we explore the supposed connection between homosexuality and child sexual abuse, the conclusions reached by the most knowledgeable professionals in the field, and how anti-gay activists continue to ignore their findings. This has tremendous consequences, not just for gay men and women, but more importantly for the safety of all our children.
Anti-gay activists often cite the “Dutch Study” to claim that gay unions last only about 1½ years and that the these men have an average of eight additional partners per year outside of their steady relationship. In this report, we will take you step by step into the study to see whether the claims are true.
Tony Perkins’ Family Research Council submitted an Amicus Brief to the Maryland Court of Appeals as that court prepared to consider the issue of gay marriage. We examine just one small section of that brief to reveal the junk science and fraudulent claims of the Family “Research” Council.
The FBI’s annual Hate Crime Statistics aren’t as complete as they ought to be, and their report for 2004 was no exception. In fact, their most recent report has quite a few glaring holes. Holes big enough for Daniel Fetty to fall through.

Until see a verifiable un-retouched photo of Karl “turd blossom†Rove in butt/crotch-less leather chaps leaving a bar in D.C. hand-in-hand with Mr. James/Jim/Jeff Gannon/Guckert will I believe he is gay. Even with a photo of that kind, he might explain he was only doing “researchâ€.

Just for the record and in case I wasn’t clear by bringing up the Pierce-Arrow and Onion references, I’m highly skeptical myself.

All you have to do is watch Karl closely sometime. The guy is definitely lite in the loafers, and there had to some reason Guckert/Gannon was able to get into the White House…but 1. The book will most likely never see the light of day if it is making that assertion, and 2. Who’s gonna believe the guy even if it does. As much as I think it’s probably true, I’d still be forced to give Rove the benefit of the doubt if he denies it.

I knew it!! Just like Team Murphy and that preacher, and that other preacher. And they are closet atheists, too. They are the biggest bunch of hypocrites, liars, users and brainwashers, and they make me puke.

C’mon you hypocrites, you say you need videotape of Bush or Rove bending over from Gannon for proof – but you sure didn’t need to see the stains on the blue dress to condemn Bill Clinton to the hottest hell.
Jim-Jeff Guckert-Gannon had ZERO journalistic credentials, because if he has spent as much time in school as he did advertising his “aggressive miliatry top” services he undoubtedly would’ve earned a journalism degree.
Gannon was plying his trade on hotmilitarystud. com WHILE he was doing overnighters in the White House.
Do the math.

I suggested talon.com might be the new Onion. Maybe Weekly World News is a better comparison, especially now that WWN has gone out of business.
