Sturtle is only a quarter of the way there with the whole Grantham/Gannon/Guckert/Gaypatriot connection. He just might completely get the scoop that will launch his blog into official stardom. I'm so almost busted!
Curiously enough, the owner of GayPatriot.org, "C. M. Grantham," has the same contact phone number as Outlet Radio, which lists a "Christian Grantham" on its masthead. Mr. Grantham's articles feature a byline that states he "was a consultant to domestic policy forums for the Clinton Administration as well as events for HRC and GLAAD"--not exactly the sort of credentials you'd expect from the owner of a site that claims to be "the blog home for the more than one million gay [sic] and lesbians who support President Bush" and which "ravishes the Left and has fun doing it!"After digging a little more, it seems Grantham's positions on Outlet Radio and on his personal website are a fair bit more liberal than his posts to GayPatriot.org. (In fact, he doesn't even identify himself on the latter, but it's safe to assume that he's the poster who calls himself Gay Patriot and who has the same email addy as "C.M. Grantham," the registrar of the site.) Still, that's all fine. I mean, I was on the debate team in high school--I appreciate someone who can argue both sides of the coin.
But what's strange about all this is that when Grantham refers to Gannon's former employer, Talon News, in his GayPatriot post, he uses scare quotes, implying a highly skeptical opinion of Talon. Is he not paying attention? Does he not realize that he's advertising (the banner's a little too prominent to be just link swap) on the website of one of Talon's only subscribers?
