While Jeff Gannon's colleagues at the "conservative" news website GOPUSA.com were writing about pornography in this manner -
April Shenandoah...We are allowing the devil to vomit all over our children, and we elect political officials who gladly swim in the same puke. We should be doing everything humanly and spiritually possible to drown pornography in its own vomit... link
Jeff "Bulldog" Gannon not only was posting pornographic pictures of himself to sell gay porn on the internet, he was operating as a porn webmaster himself.

Thanks to the excellent investigative work of blogslut, here , we now have definite confirmation that James Dale Guckert aka "Jeff Gannon" was an adult porn webmaster. Read her entire post for the background, but here is the official statement of MALECORPS, one of the sites to which James Guckert signed up as an affiliate:
A few years ago, www.MaleCorps.com provided individuals and affiliates with the option to have their own home page on the site for marketing purposes. Potential members would see each individual/affiliate's personal page and subscribe to see their photos. The revenue would then be shared between the affiliate and www.MaleCorps.com. This is the full extent of the relationship between www.MaleCorps.com and Jeff Gannon. All his photos were removed from the site about two years ago.
For the past few years, many steps were taken to avoid such occurrences, including the removal of all personal web pages, classifieds and listings from www.MaleCorps.com, as well as the cancellation of the affiliate program in order to keep a better control over the Male Corps trademarks and copyrighted information. As it stands, the site solely provides erotic photos and videos of models on their own, not involving any sexual activity, as well as links to third party providers. It is also noteworthy that the Male Corps web site has never been an escort service.
Because few of us are familiar with how the adult webmaster business works, blogslut has graciously written a Porn Biz for Dummies explanation:
Adult Affiliate Links: How They Work
Adult webmasters sell porn any way they can. They build little pages. They submit galleries to TGPs (thumbnail gallery posts). They make mini-paysites via an AVS system. Some go bigtime and create a paysite but most adult webmasters make a living by selling other people's porn. It's called an affiliate program and this is how it works:
The webmaster finds an affiliate program either by clicking a WEBMASTERS link on a porn site, searching for a program via a search engine or by visiting an adult webmaster resource site.
The webmaster signs up for the affiliate program by submitting personal information. A webmaster living in the US is required to provide full name and mailing address as well as either a social security number or tax id number. The webmaster must agree to the terms of service of the affiliate sponsor. If the webmaster is approved by the sponsor, the webmaster will receive a confirmation, primarily by email.
Once approved, the sponsor will issue a UNIQUE REFERRER ID to the affiliate webmaster. This ID is the lifeblood for the affiliate webmaster. If a webmaster neglects to include this ID on any text links or graphic banners that lead to the sponsor, there is no way to track sales generated by the site. The affiliate webmaster creates an adult page and places text/graphic links for the sponsor on that page. Sponsor/Affiliate links look like this: http://mysponsor.com/referrerID=1234 or this: http://mysponsor.com/ID=me or even this: http://malecorps.com/x/usmcpt
The affiliate webmaster creates a page and embeds the REFERRER ID into all the links that lead to the chosen sponsor. Then the affiliate webmaster promotes that page in the method preferred for the type of site. If all goes well, the affiliate gets a lot of traffic to their page and some of the visitors click the REFERRER ID links. For example, links from Gannon's USMCPT site take the surfer to the sponsor's site, MALECORPS. From there, the surfer decides whether or not they want to buy what MALECORPS is selling. The sponsor's product could be membership to a paysite or adult ezine. The product could be membership to an online personals site. The product could be adult toys. Whatever the product, once the surfer buys, the affiliate webmaster gets a credit because the surfer used his UNIQUE REFERRER ID. Jeff's unique referrer ID for his affiliate page to MALECORPS.com was http://malecorps.com/x/usmcpt. (NOT a work-safe link.)
