Today in low hanging fruit news: "liberal" hate edition

"Sabra", a 1000+ poster over at DU, asks "Has Gannon found a date yet for this years WHCA Dinner?" To their slight credit, the "liberals" don't join in on a jolly good round of Gannon jokes: the thread only got one reply.

That reply suggests Ann Coulter as a potential date. She's also mentioned in the longer thread "Today I perused Man Coulter's book..." That include a comment from a 1000+ poster: "Ann Coulter is not a Man! She was born with "ambiguous genitalia", a birth defect, and was surgically assigned to be female at age nine months. Calling her a man is unfair. It is sufficient to call her a Nazi." Those wacky, non-hate-filled "liberals!"

In slightly more important news, "liberal" paranoia is on display in the thread Why should I trust John Aravosis and "America Blog?" Trusted comrades vouch for him.

In the Gramscian category, we have "In honor of Black History Month - I apologize as a white American". The poster has 1000+ posts, so I'm almost certain he's not a VRWC member in disguise:

Well, I have been sorry 3 times for something my race did.

As a white American I am sorry for slavery and our 100 years of White shame where lynching, segregation and other mistreatment of people of color suffered, and still continue to suffer in many cases.

As a German American I am deeply ashamed of my German ancestry due to Hitler. Luckily, my people had been in the US since the 1700's, so my shame is more for my ethnic group than my direct ancestors.

Because I am a white American with some Native American blood, I am extremely sick over what our country did to Native People.

But it is Black History Month. I would like Black DUers to know I am sorry, and please share your heroes from black history. I know there are a lot of people who have been overlooked in "white history books"...

And, in the perhaps-even-important news category:

We have a "friendly" MSM reporter who is seeking Guckert news.

I've established a working relationship with a reporter for a major newspaper that all would recognize. He wrote two of the first Guckert articles well before anyone else in MSM. If you're familiar with my posts, you can figure out who it is.

He is willing to receive more information (nothing basic, he has already covered this aspect). Here is how you can help:

Apend to this thread "bite-sized" pieces of information. In the subject line, classify what the "bit" is. In the body write a brief description with supporting links.

I in turn will spoon feed the information to the reporter.

The poster's screenname is "paineinthearse", so if anyone wants to look through his past messages and figure out whether he's blowing smoke and, if not, who he's referring to, please drop a dime in the comments. We can discuss the irony of a "friendly-to-DU" reporter uncovering dirt on Gannon later.
