DAN RATHER is right...TALK IS CHEAP...and he proved that a long time ago when he made up Fairy Tales about President GW Bush...

Rather lied...and Americans have not forgotten that...plus now at 85 plus he is no longer able to put 2 and 2 together...he is senile and in a dementia stage of life...

LET’S MOVE ON FROM THESE HAS BEENS..

What typically happens is the select few ask questions they were told to ask. Then all the rest write their stories based on the fake answers given. Now a of a sudden EVERYONE is getting to ask a question and the Big shots are confused.

Wasn’t that his forte ? That he could read the news off a piece of paper in a monotone and emotionless voice ?

Rather destroyed any credibility he had. Which wasn’t much to begin with. Now he is shooting his mouth off again? Give us a break, Dan. Give us a break.

The lack of education in America is frightening.

What is frightening is the amount of money we spent to get this stupid.

>>>”The US isn’t a democracy,”<<<

Dan Rather aside, why do you think the US isn’t a democracy?

A democracy means:

“a system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives.”

General Democratic Principles:

“legal equality, political freedom, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of assembly, and rule of law have been identified as important characteristics. These principles are reflected in all eligible citizens being equal before the law and having equal access to legislative processes.”

Is the US a Federal (Democratic) Republic, or an Authoritarian Republic?

““What are you going to do about it?” “

Is he using his position in the ‘press’ to call for rioting and violence ?

So Dan Rather is on Glen Beck’s website now. I bet each of them is worrying that they have lowered their standards too much.

Yeah yeah yeah. Well, as you just said, Danny Boy, “talk is cheap.” Let’s hear what you want to do about it. No beating about the bush. We want details. Specifics. Goals, objectives, and then a tactical plan. Time to put up or shut up.

The US isn’t a democracy, Dan—Look it up.

Well, he didn't really mean 'democracy'. He meant 'a threat to our illegal power structure'. Democracy is just easier to say.

I believe it was Larry Ellison of Oracle who gave a speech at a broadcast news convention. In his speech he said in the future people would get their news from the internet and pick and choose the sources. When he finished, Dan Rather was there to get in his face and say, “WE determine what’s news and what’s not!”

There may be a threat to America but it is not President Trump. You and your media friends, along with liberals, many Democrats and some Republicans should just look in a mirror. That is the threat.
