    I did a view source on the html and it isn't a Frontpage site like Gannon's others. Think Gannon/Christian is taking names and turning the names into the military so they know who to 'out'?

      Or maybe they, like so many on the right, like to talk the talk of "morality", but lead a very different life when it comes down to it. "Gannon", Eberle et. al could be gay, or they and their organization could be making money off of porn or hookup services.
      I hope someone is planning to write this thing into a magazine/op-ed article once the leads are run down, with copy for news organizations.

        The fact that they also own those escort domain names--and a gay one even--will be a huge scandal among the Christian circles! What a great find!

  - And if you google (none / 0)
    
    hotmilitarystud, one of the returns is "Porn for Losers," in their "gay" directory. If there's a relation, it might help explain why Mr. "Gannon" chooses to be discreet about his identity and background, those red-staters have definite notions about boys who like boys.

    It means men for men.
    MSM means men who have sex with men. Ask a fag, you'll get the right answer . . .

  Although he doesn't have a name, that's the earliest existance of the Gannon persona (and I doubt conservativeguy.com sat empty for 2 years before that.
  And jeffgannon.com dating from mid-2002 is very important in the timeline.
  "The Conservative Legal"? Maybe a hint at his real occupation?

      an I haven't a clue. Not even the faintest idea. However, my question had nothing to do with their veracity, instead my question had to do with the poster's representation of him(er) self and what Whois really reported.
      I'm not sure why that question deserved an unrelated attack, but I'm sure your answer won't have to do with my original question. BTW if the topic at hand isn't addressed don't assume my failure to respond is some sort of agreement.
