Dan Rather: 'We must all stand up’ to Trump

Veteran journalist Dan Rather says all Americans must hold President-elect Donald Trump accountable.

“Now is a time when none of us can afford to remain seated or silent. We must all stand up to be counted,” Rather wrote in a Facebook post Tuesday.

“History will demand to know which side you were on. This is not a question of politics or party or even policy. This is a question about the very fundamentals of our beautiful experiment in a pluralistic democracy ruled by law.”

Rather said he is speaking out because of white nationalists celebrating Trump’s White House win.

“When I see neo-Nazis raise their hands in terrifying solute [sic], in public, in our nation’s capital, I shudder in horror,” he said, referencing an alt-right conference in Washington on Saturday.

This is a propaganda move by the media. It has no connection to Trump. I saw 0 white nationalists at all of the Trump rallies I attended. Zero, zilch nada.

I stand in horror when the press creates false documents to change the outcome of an election.

If Dan (I’d )Rather (not) wants to stay relevant by citing 56 “Neo-Nazis” he’s even stupider than he’s shown himself to be for the past 50 years. “Rather” than that, Dan Rather, let’s do a survey of the many millions world-wide who would’ve preferred a HRC Presidency, and see what their political affiliations are.

Dan Rather is still alive? I thought he died years ago.
Maybe that was just his broadcasting career. Who knows...

At least you’re consistent. Eight years ago you told us all to stand up to Obama.

Maybe that wasn’t you. Sorry.

Dan should see if he can get his facebook account to do this ......... Charles Johnson's animated GIF image comparing a memo purportedly typewritten in 1973 with a proportional-spaced document made in Microsoft Word with default settings in 2004

My comment on The Hill:

Maybe Dan Rather can figure out to type a fake Trump memo on an old IBM Selectric typewriter this time, instead of on MS Word with Times New Roman font and proportional spacing.

DAN, if you read these comments, don’t you realize what a laughingstock you are today? Pretty pathetic that you seem to think we’ve forgotten you are a card-carrying “fake journalist” going all the way back.

Maybe you and Donna Brazile can hang out at the Old Liars Club and get drunk together, and commiserate about the good old days, when the public was much easier to fool with glib lies.

I wonder what this lying, contemptuous cretin would have said if people were saying they were going to ‘stand up’ to Hillary?
