Hinchey: Gannon Behind Rathergate!

Thu, Feb 24, 2005 at 2:28:37 pm PST

Oh brother. I just received an email saying that on the Sean Hannity radio show, Congressman Maurice “Rove Rules the World” Hinchey (D-NY) has stated that Jeff Gannon broke the Rathergate story. (Hat tip: JammieWearingFool.) I didn’t hear it myself; but if true, Hinchey has passed the orbit of Pluto and is boldly going where no moonbat has gone before.

UPDATE at 2/24/05 2:39:31 pm:

Check it out now before the moderators have an embolism and delete it: Democratic Underground says “Kudos to Little Green Footballs” for breaking the story of Rove’s Master Plan! Bwa hahahaha!

UPDATE at 2/24/05 3:00:40 pm:

I’m still laughing. This reinforces the point I made yesterday: The Clueless Reactionary Left.

For those in the Detroit area you can catch the rebroadcast @ 7pm-10pm EST on 760AM, since Hannity charges to listen to the restream now. Or they have a stream here: WJR

I haven't really listened to Hannity for awhile myself...the show's kinda lost it's feeling I guess.

Come on Charles, admit it.

Karl Rove sent Jeff Gannon to the Kinko's with the fake documents disguised as some woman named Rita and then Jeff quickly slipped back into his reporter outfit so he could tip you off to the Rathergate story.

The jig is up Charles, they are on to you. Original content indeed. No wonder Google won't link to you.

C'mon, Maurice, it's not a good conspiracy theory if you don't have the British bankers and the ZOG involved. Rove alone won't do it.

I think Maurice Hinchey is actually the greatest "conceptual" comedian of all time. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if he was actually Andy Kaufman.

That's the only answer that makes sense.

28 mph  Thu, Feb 24, 2005 12:40:42pm

I heard most of the exchange...it was pretty lame on both ends...I don't think Hannity attacked the notion of that Jeff Gannon guy breaking the rathergate story strong enough....the democrat got some unanswered points across, as ludicrious as they may have sounded...I like Hannity, but he is no Savage, Boortz, or Rush..

29 Ariana  Thu, Feb 24, 2005 12:40:50pm

Arguments for banning the veil for young girls:

[Link: www.secularislam.org...]

For women of Muslim origin everywhere, the veil is a symbol of oppression and religious domination. Contrary to what apologists claim, their veil is anything but a choice. Veiling women and the Koran’s and Sharia’s edict on women renders them from any right, and brutally violate their basic human liberties. Women have “accepted” the veil under an enormous pressure, if not through acid-throwing, threats and intimidation. Few women have the real freedom not to wear the veil. The very same Islamists who brutally impose the veil on women and girls through acid throwing, flogging, imprisonment and torture in Iran, Iraq, Algeria and Afghanistan, oppose the banning of veils for young girls in schools in the West, and call it a restriction of freedom of expression. This is utterly hypocritical.

Hard when fact is weirder than fiction, ain't it? ;-) Don't give up, though. Consider this inspiration.

So, Hinchey is trying to say that Gannon is actually an excellent reporter who broke a major news story. I know, not really, but it would be fun to grill him with that line of thinking.

I heard the "interview", more of a non-stop rant on the unhinched one's part. Hannity cut him off the air repeatedly, and each time he'd go back to him, Hinchey was babbling on, incoherently.
I can't figure out what the heck Hinchey bothered going on the show to accomplish. Obviously, the audience isn't in the congressman's corner. The rep. must loooove to hear himself babble on.

Don't give up. Reality will out-absurd you every time if you wait long enough. Gannon did break a rather-gay story. Perhaps that's what Hinchey means. It's probably a transcription error. Yeah, that's the ticket.

Sometimes, AFDBs will be sold on places like eBay. Do not purchase these pre-made AFDBs, even if the seller seems trustworthy.

wikipedia on Tinfoil hat

A tin-foil hat, also tinfoil hat, is a piece of headgear that some people wear because they believe it prevents mind control and/or mind reading, and find that it stops certain unpleasant experiences such as voices in their heads and apparent abduction by alien beings. While aluminium foil or tin-foil is traditional, less fragile materials such as 3M Velostat (a kind of metallised plastic) and metal window-screen mesh are now more commonly used. Electrical conductivity seems to be a key quality.


Try one today! As seen on TV! Especially the network news!

Look no further:

Welcome to the AFDB Website

This site is dedicated to spreading the word about the Aluminum* Foil Deflector Beanie and how it can help the average human. Here you will find a description of AFDBs, how to make and use them, and general information about related subjects. I hope that you find the AFDB Homepage to be an important source of AFDB know-how and advocacy.
What Is An AFDB?
AFDB head

An Aluminum Foil Deflector Beanie (AFDB) is a type of headwear that can shield your brain from most electromagnetic psychotronic mind control carriers. AFDBs are inexpensive (even free if you don't mind scrounging for thrown-out aluminium foil) and can be constructed by anyone with at least the dexterity of a chimp (maybe bonobo). This cheap and unobtrusive form of mind control protection offers real security to the masses. Not only do they protect against incoming signals, but they also block most forms of brain scanning and mind reading, keeping the secrets in your head truly secret. AFDBs are safe and operate automatically. All you do is make it and wear it and you're good to go! Plus, AFDBs are stylish and comfortable.

"It was Jeff Gannon. Hanes, size 34. 99X, the home of rock-and-roll. Judge Wapner. It was Jeff Gannon..."

Simply download the PDF file, print and cut it out, and you are ready to psychalk! The card fits in your wallet where you would be keeping your credit cards if you weren't wise to how they are used to track people's movements.

This is priceless. DU engaging in an all out assault to get the MSM to report Hinchley's remarks. They don't get it that Americans will see Rep Hinchleys remarks for what they are; the unsubstantiated ravings of a member of the Democratic Party, yet another example of the Democrats embracing conspiracy theories. This will further alienate the average American from the donkey party. And DU fails to grasp this. Oh the irony!

Slightly OT: Mike Rosen mentioned LGF on the Rush Limbaugh show today, with respect to the Hinchey foot-in-mouth story. Played the audio and everything! It really brought a smile to my face. Don't know if it's been mentioned, but I'm enjoying watching this story proliferate national conversation.

99 dhimmishelter  Thu, Feb 24, 2005 1:08:11pm

I am afraid I must confirm that Mo Unhitchedy...oops, I mean Hinckley, er, I mean Hinchey, did state on national radio that Jeff Gannon acted as a schill for the the Great Svengali (aka Karl Rove) in leaking the fake but accurate Rathergate documents.

Not only that, Mo also made a veiled threat to Hannity (off the air) that he would work to make life miserable for Sean (however Sean is withholding the tape of that conversation for now). When pressed for evidence of the Rove-Gannon link, however Mo would repeatedly launch into a tiresome twilight zone explanation of all the six degrees of separation connections that "proved" this looney assertion. I hope that once the voters who reside in the congressional district of this crackpot get to hear this, they may think twice about reinstalling this apparent escapee from the Mohawk Valley Psychiatric Center. Time to break out the new Adidas shoes and join the Raelians during the next solar eclipse for this "congressman."

There are more than a few toys in that attic. I just hope they keep up their verbal free associations. It may be edifying for the voters to hear the views of the tin-foil crowd they elect to public office or run their run-amok party.

From the Judy Woodruff interview with Hinchey (on Gannon's site):

WOODRUFF: We're going to have to leave it there, Congressman Maurice Hinchey. And again, we did try to reach the White House to get their comment on all of this, we were not able to get a comment from them.

Uh-huh. Obviously the White House is very nervous about this hornets nest stirred up by Rep Hinchley. Go Hinchmeister, you got em on the run. This could be big! I wish we could get Hinchey to bring us the real story behind Sasquatch and cattle mutilations. I am willing to bet that Rove is behind those coverups too. There is even some circumstantial evidence that Rove was behind the Lincoln assassination and the extinction of the Dodo bird.

The horrible truth is that there are no goldfish, Dolly. Goldfish are really an advanced electronic monitoring device from the planet Sytron in the Sirius system. Karl Rove imported them decades ago when he began his evil plan for World Domination, and then implanted memories of goldfish in the entire human race.

Be afraid of the goldfish. Be very afraid.

Compared to some of the folks hanging out in that Starbucks, especially after one of the perpetual protests, Frank the Sign Guy is positively reassuring.

80 Jheka - I went to Cornell Law School in Ithaca (Hey DU it's Ithaca, not Ithica) from 70-73. Every Friday night, half a dozen or more of us went to the "adult" movie theater with at least 2 six-packs. It was all "soft core" no frontal nudity, curtains blowing out the window at the "appropriate moment" etc. Then one night they showed "Deep Throat" - we were all in a state of shock.
The then mayor (White, maybe?) did a front page interview the FOLLOWING semester saying "Deep Throat" would never,
EVER be allowed to be shown in Ithaca (i.e., censorship before allowing something to be shown). Now this movie theater literally used to card all of us before they'd let us in even for the soft core stuff, so this was a Mayor saying adults in MY town will never get the "opportunity" to see this trash.
I called the Mayor (the beauty of small town America) and he answered the phone. I told him Deep Throat had been shown for several weeks the previous spring. He said that couldn't be true and I said it was, I had seen it (I may also have said something to the effect that I couldn't believe she ate the whole thing!). The next day, the Mayor says he doesn't want to be involved in censorship, if they want to show it, go ahead.
I tell you this just to reinforce the point of view of many; in Ithaca and other towns, moonbatism has been around a LONG time.
BTW, shortly thereafter a new mayor was elected, and had the
proprietor of the theater brought up on obscenity charges. At the same time, the same thing happened in NYC over the same movie. I figure, well hell, sophisticated NYC folks won't find him guilty. They did. I figured the folks in Ithaca (being mostly rural - what we'd now call Red Staters (students were ineligible for jury duty) would find him guilty, they found him not guilty. I think ole Hinch PERFECTLY represents his constituents!

I think this is a drinking thread, even if it's only four in the afternoon. We have to drink in order to begin to believe this is really happening.

What's going on in Ithica? Will the voters suddenly discover that they need to recall this moonbat?

And a point some other poster made here - They rag on Gannon as a lousy reporter BUT he was good enough to plant this story for Rove.

And one other thing - Gannon only applied for day passes - not a hard permanent press pass. The vetting process for these two things are VERY different and no one is talking about that.

Is this just a budget crunch or perhaps a potential method of reducing the tenure umbrella?

Full-time faculty cuts reverberate at Umass

The decline in permanent, full-time professors at UMass-Amherst, accompanied by increased numbers of temporary and part-time teachers, echoes a national trend on college campuses. Nationwide, the number of full-time, temporary faculty grew by one-third from 1998 to 2001, and almost half of all college faculty are now part-time or "contingent" teachers, according to the American Association of University Professors. A cost-saving measure -- temporary professors earn lower pay, work year to year, and often shuttle between campuses -- the hiring shift has been widely criticized for diminishing research and student-teacher interaction while creating an academic underclass with no office hours, benefits, or job security.

ariana -- that is found across the country. I'm married to someone who teaches at universities for her transportation costs to those universities. Is it unfair? Feels that way.. but it is how universities are financed. Put half your professors on $10,000 salary and no security or benefits and the other half on $100,000 with tenure.

It feels to me that you could open a non-idiotarian university without tenure and split the pay difference and offer an incredibly superior education. You could get the pick of the adjuncts, without the backbiting inherent in the tenure ladder.

My former husband reigned as one of the Great Lords. Through his conversations I learned more about the upper level administrative decision making than I wished to understand.

The system operates somewhat like a 17th or 18th century French court. There are the great patrons and their subservient academic toadies begging for crumbs. This atmosphere breeds corruption and is in need of serious reform.

Unfortunately, most of the "aristocratics" don't have any sort of desire to revoke their rights to special priviledges. Frankly, they care about publishing and attaining certain positions and academic recognition. Fair treatment of their undergraduates and graduate students as well as other non-tenured faculty are their last priority.

Jeff Gannon posts the transcript from CNN's Judy Woodruff segment with moonbat Congressman Maurice (moonbat) Hinchey. In answer to the first questioned lobbed over to the moonbat man by the moonbat woman (WOodruff) Mr. Hinchey sites, as a matter of concern, the necessity for objectivity.

Now, isn't that interesting.

Later in the segment he babbles "If people sitting back in their living rooms can't rely upon the information they're getting over the news channel or over the radio, then every important aspects of this Democratic system become eroded."

I guess that principle doesn't apply to the (dis)information you supply to your constiutents at yur townhall meetings. Does it, Congressman?

And then, for the grand finally, moonbat Hinchey misleads the public, once again, as to his principles:

"Manipulating the media in this kind of a cynical way is antithetical to what we stand for as a nation..."

HAHAHA! Mr. Hinchey, you're not credible, you're a wretched, hypocritical, disingenuous individual.

Ariana -- interesting comment -- the Great Lords -- in business where us lesser intellects dwell, (and I do believe that businessmen are by-and-large less intelligent than professors), there is always always the clink of the market to pull people back to reality. If your idea -- no matter how clever -- cannot find a willing buyer, it is dross. Great Lord implies to me that we have created a class totally without accountability. In theory, peer review should bring the accountability; but that may only have any value in the hard sciences. What could peer review in Native American or Womyn's studies tell you about the reality of a paper?

You may have more knowledge than I do about this, but from what I have read you can get a daily press pass with only an ID. What it was meant for I do not know, but I will bet you that Gannon is not the only reporter to have multiple (and perhaps daily) daily press passes.

The hard permanent pass takes an FBI checkup, etc. and is much harder to get.

I think some right of center "journalists" should check up on how many liberal reporters get repeated daily passes. My bet would be more than one.

And since the liberal press has started it, why doesn't "someone" start investigating the personal lives of all the liberal reporters who have any kind of press pass. Hmmmm?

let me take a breath..

I've been watching the historic field slide down that slope for several years. At one time, there existed a group of reigning historians responsible for vetting any new research in their field. For anyone failing to produce solid research their bite was quite lethal. If you ever want to see a great example of someone failing to pass the gauntlet.. look up the story behind this remark: " he was a pygmy standing on the shoulders of giants" :-)


Since that time, the criteria has declined to the point that I feel despair for the future of the discipline

Yes, Academia's failure to reform themselves may have earned themselves serious losses. Quite a sad situation because that trend will harm the chance for producing valid research

Jennings will find a way to blame all the "sightings" on the admin for sure. It was a conspiracy since 1947 you know.

Art has seen weird things for sure, but has no idea what. He doesn't try to explain what or make any claims. That is the key to his gig. Ask questions and offer no answers.

Chem trails ... LOL. I see them all the time out here. Maybe I'll start murmuring "those bastards" along with you. Heh heh. It's amazing how some folks don't understand the chemistry of burning jet fuel and the physics of heated water vapor at high altitude and speed.

And now, after all that has happened today, Peter Jennings is doing this show on UFO's. The timing is exquisite.

I know this was taped a long time ago and they are running this now because of sweeps, but it can't get better than this.

And I listen to Art Bell - because he is such a hoot!

299 Bill Whittle  Thu, Feb 24, 2005 3:08:50pm

I think Whittle actually praised Sagan for teaching scepticism and critical thinking. I hear he was awfully disappointed in how little of that Sagan did regarding his own limosine liberal political beliefs.

According to Whittle, he was by no means a complete poseur as a scientist. He was much better as a writer of science; in fact, it seemed like he was one of very, very few scientists who even gave a thought about publicizing science. His last writings got more and more political and made less and less sense.

Whittle guesses that like all thinking champagne socialists, the cognitive dissidence finally got the better of him. He also apparently turned into quite the pothead in his later life; this shocked Whittle deeply, but the work done in Dragons of Eden, Broca's Brain and The Demon-Haunted World won a lot of forgiveness points, according to Whittle.

Whittle, more than likely, has to return to work now. But rumors of new essays are not being squelched, as soon as Hollywood has finished throwing up all over itself.

Well my name is Hinchy

and I have a little Hunchy

listen up now

even if I sound punchy

there's a man named Rove

in the White House crib

playin' tricks

on our favorite libs

I saw him in a dream

With memos and whipped cream

I ain't being funny

Or sayin' this for money

I'm makin' allegations

And stunning populations

The man is self destructing. Up until the exchange with Sean today, I though Hinchey was merely trying see how many of his fingers he could shoot off and still hold the gun. But this afternoon he took off his shoes and sox (not in that order though). Stand back, boys, he's going for all ten.

This was a classic episode - particularly when Hannity put Hinchey on hold, waited about 30 seconds, and came back to Hinchey in mid rant who never took a breath during the time on hold. I was waiting for some staffer to give the moonbat a sign about what was going on - but it looks like Hinchey was channeling a DUmmy with the conspiracy theories.

I thought about sending Charles an email from my Treo, but didn't want to risk running off the Reagan Freeway at the time. When I got to my destination in the Valley - no signal. Arrgghhhh. At least someone got the word out.

In the moonbat world of free association, what do the following names have in common?

Ted Kennedy...Mary Jo Kopechne...Ward Churchill...Michael Moore...John Kerry.

Here's the unvarnished truth. I have proof, actual evidence, but it may not be convincing to you even though I find it very compelling myself. I have it on very good information by an unamed, highly placed source that Ted Kennedy murdered Mary Jo Kopechne and made it look like an accident because she knew Ward Churchill really didn't have any Indian blood in him. Michael Moore has the whole thing on film and gave it to Lt. John Kerry for safe keeping, except that Lt. Kerry lost the film when he made that secret trip into Cambodia to give arms to the Kymer Rouge. That's why Kennedy walked.

Alright, alright. I admit the last part about the Kymer Rouge may not be true since they didn't exist until two years later in 1970, but I stand by everything else (applause and whistles from moonbat crowd heard in the background).

Then, I made a serious point: that they had one congressman levelling a bald, unsupported charge, but they we're saying "by God, man, we've got 'em!"

Then, I thanked them for the laugh.

326 Sarah D.  Thu, Feb 24, 2005 7:06:36pm

I asked Kerry supporters on the Kerry blog a question about his treatment of the Iraqi PM during the run-up to the election:

Interestingly enough, they deleted my post. But, I found it via their replies.

Allawi will be praising Allah when Kerry is elected and we have an adminstration that will show diplomacy to the entire world, not just the "coalition of the willing." Remember our friends Germany and France?
Do you know who the Prime minister of Iraq is? Do you know what atrocities he has committed?
If you listen to what Kerry said (not what Bush said Kerry said), you will see he did not say anything that was false. In addition. it is so clear that Allawi is here only as a surrogate for Bush that it is shameful. His speech are clearly written by the Bush team. Kerry has been scolded because he said that foreign leaders were supporting him. At least, he did not ask them to campaign for him. The question is not that, if Kerry is elected, he will have to work with Allawi. The question is rather reversed as at this point, Iraq can do little without the USA.
For one minute lets assume that the elections in Iraq take place in Jan.

Okay you made a statement that make it sound like you think this man will stay in charge after their election, I happen to think if the elections go right and thats a big if, he is the last man the Iraqis will elect. So I feel Kerrys on pretty firm ground here.

My personal favorite:

You must have not gotten the memo today. This campaign is done with diplomatic speak directed toward those who are not deserving of our respec.t
All JK said was that Allawi's statememts yesterday were not consistent with what he had said in the recent past. It's important for us to know & it's important for the Iraqi's to know, too. Bush's manupulation caused Allawi to be appointed. Now Bush is using him in an effort to manipulate the American people. I don't think I have ever heard a politician be so direct & truthful with the voters as JK has been this week. I believe in JK now more than ever.
Whether the allegations that Allawi is a murderer are true or not true is not the issue, although the allegations are interesting. The fact is that Allawi is simply another mouthpiece for Bush. Allawi says what Bush tells him to say. Bush choose Allawi to speak for him. Therefore, when Allawi lies like he did today we must respond. Period. Bush lied, people died. Now Allawi lies for Bush.
Kerry is a diplomat. He was raised in the diplomatic circle, then he spent more than 20 years involved in foreign policy. So please, he did not do anything wrong. Bush did. He lied to the American people and had Allawi lie for him. Kerry just said so. Know tell me what you think Allawi will do if Kerry is elected.

Now they give me Wikipedia as a reference! Give me a break!

Details on Allawi from this source, with backup links: [Link: en.wikipedia.org...]

I think they all migrated to the DU.

(I am quite serious. The connection between the far left and the drug culture could not be more obvious than in this constant manifestation of a paranoid worldview that was an iconic feature of the 60s Counterculture. I am not alleging that Hinch himself is a druggie, only that he and like-minded Moonbats are in solidarity with drug-culture memes.)

330 Dirk Diggler  Fri, Feb 25, 2005 4:27:36am

OT - (Well somewhat. Our world keeps delving into the surreal)

Condi Rice's style is raising eyebrows.

Rice boldly eschewed the typical fare chosen by powerful American women on the world stage. She was not wearing a bland suit with a loose-fitting skirt and short boxy jacket with a pair of sensible pumps. She did not cloak her power in photogenic hues, a feminine brooch and a non-threatening aesthetic. Rice looked as though she was prepared to talk tough, knock heads and do a freeze-frame "Matrix" jump kick if necessary. Who wouldn't give her ensemble a double take -- all the while hoping not to rub her the wrong way?

Rice's coat and boots speak of sex and power -- such a volatile combination, and one that in political circles rarely leads to anything but scandal. When looking at the image of Rice in Wiesbaden, the mind searches for ways to put it all into context. It turns to fiction, to caricature. To shadowy daydreams. Dominatrix! It is as though sex and power can only co-exist in a fantasy. When a woman combines them in the real world, stubborn stereotypes have her power devolving into a form that is purely sexual.

V the K, caption away.

331 thoma  Fri, Feb 25, 2005 8:24:52am

I know that it's often difficult to bypass one's own ideology, and take a hard look at the facts, but sometimes it can offer a new perspective.
In earlier blog comments, the link between Plame and Gannon was questioned. Take a look at this quote from and interview with Joe Wilson by Gannon (identified as "TN" for Talon News) How is it that Gannon had access or knowledge of an internal CIA document?:

TN: Did your wife suggest you for the mission?

Wilson: No. The decision to ask me to go out to Niger was taken in a meeting at which there were about a dozen analysts from both the CIA and the State Department. A couple of them came up and said to me when we're going through the introductory phase, "We have met at previous briefings that you have done on other subjects, Africa-related."

Not one of those at that meeting could I have told you what they look like, would I recognize on the street, or remember their name today. And as old as I am, I can still recognize my wife, and I still do remember her name. That was the meeting at which the decision was made to ask me if I would clear my schedule to go.

TN: An internal government memo prepared by U.S. intelligence personnel details a meeting in early 2002 where your wife, a member of the agency for clandestine service working on Iraqi weapons issues, suggested that you could be sent to investigate the reports. Do you dispute that?

Wilson: I don't know anything about a meeting, I can only tell you about the meeting I was at where I was asked if I would prepare to go, and there was nobody at that meeting that I know. Now that fact that my wife knows that I know a lot about the uranium business and that I know a lot about Niger and that she happens to be involved in weapons of mass destruction, it should come as no surprise to anyone that we know of each others activities.

333 thoma  Fri, Feb 25, 2005 11:51:48am

Thanks for pointing to the Wall Street Journal. Normally, when a journalist is quoting another journalist, he/she will give credit. My assumption was that Gannon would have done so. If, in fact, he obtained his information from reading other sources, then it is clear why Fitzgerald did not subpoena him in the Plame investigation.
BTW, one of the other blogs has a FREEP comment posted by Gannon where he characterizes the memo in a way that led the blogger to think he had seen the actual memo. Factual or not, only Gannon would know.

Re: You really should be on the Flying Monkey thread.

Thanks for the referral but it's not necessary to have a partisan ideology to want to know the truth.

334 MajorGeneralWinfieldScottHancock  Fri, Feb 25, 2005 1:03:48pm

So . . . to moonbats, reality is like an ink blot test?

Given the way they so easily "connect the dots" of completely unrelated things into conspiracies, that's how I see it.
