Left Weirdness on Gannon Grows

Is there hazardous duty pay for bloggers? Would I get it for trolling leftiblogs for the latest biased, hate-spewing garbage they're running about Jeff Gannon?

From American Politics Journal (not my America!):
What is being drowned out in this screaming for Gannon's head -- and pen -- and escort Web sites -- is something special he has given all of us incompetent ne'erdowells, something we may have never known if not for Jeff's nerve in breaking up the old-skilled, news-professional boys' club. He has given rise to a realm of possibilities where only hopelessness lived. No longer will inexperience or egregious bias keep us from becoming an important cog in the dissemination of government issued information.
That's pretty exciting! The next time a Dem is in the White House, the liberal White House press corps will not be able to display their egregious bias in disseminating that government's information.

From the appropriately named Rude Pundit, a scheme to hype up conservative bloggers who are much to smart to go anywhere close to Rude's sophomoric plan:
Yesterday, the Rude Pundit proposed a strategy to get the story hotter: co-opt the moralists of the right, primarily the Christian fundamentalist community, through their blogs and websites. Write letters and comments where we disguise ourselves as goodly, godly Republicans who are just oh-so-disgusted to bursting [Speaking for goodly, Godly Republican everywhere, I'd say the feeling is oh-so-bewildered by this whole thing, not oh-so-disgusted].

Today, the Rude Pundit gives a list of potential recipients of your "moral outrage" .... By the way, if you're uncomfortable pretending over the gay angle [why would a "tolerant" lefty be uncomfortable with this?], why, then use the prostitute angle [sure, nothing wrong with prostitution!] for your anger - it's twice the sin for half the price. Rather than just target Fox "News," send e-mails and/or post comments to some of these sites and blogs, where the rumbles of the rabble can reach a maximum density quickly. The idea here is that you, as a mole, a fly in the ointment, a ghost in the machine, will infiltrate and cause others, the real fundies and wingnuts, to respond in kind. [Well, they'd probably delete the comments as soon as they came in.] These are not links - you'll have to copy-and-paste the addresses so it's not traceable back to, like, this post telling you where to go. [oops ... busted!] And, you know, this is just a starting point:

[He then gives the addresses of Hugh Hewitt, Crosswalk, Captain's Quarters, Evangelical Outpost, Beliefnet, Christdot and Blogs4God.]

... Plus, don't neglect your Focus on the Family and your Moral Majority and others.

Remember: this ain't about Gannyguck. Who the **** cares about some sell out, self-hating homosexual [Whoa, there's that anti-gay bias again! Are all homosexuals self-hating, Mr. Rude?] who shilled for the Bush administration? This is about Negroponte, Rumsfeld, Cheney, and Bush. This is about torture and the dismantling of the New Deal. [Darn! They're onto us!] And, let's face it and embrace it - it's about payback, bitch, and ****** with people who have ****** us over so egregiously. [Oh, I see. It's insane anger, not any credible story, that's driving this lefty movement. Are you as un-surprised as me?]
That's all I can take for tonight. Besides, I need to foward this to a few blogging icons.
