After looking at DU ... thanks DU. I found that a source for slamming the hoax theory on CBS tonight was someone called "Jim Moore" who had "written two books on the subject" according to Dan Rather.
When I looked it up it appeared that Jim Moore co-authored a book with Roger Clinton called "Growing up Clinton".
From Drudge:
http://www.drudgereport.com/flash5.htm
Rather: IT IS THE INFORMATION IN THE NEW DOCUMENTS THAT IS MOST COMPELLING FOR PEOPLE FAMILIAR WITH PRESIDENT BUSH'S RECORD IN THE NATIONAL GUARD. AUTHOR JIM MORE HAS WRITTEN TWO BOOKS ON THE SUBJECT.
Rather: "YOU'VE STUDIED PRESIDENT BUSH'S RECORDS FOR 10 YEARS.. ARE THESE DOCUMENTS CONSISTENT WITH THE RECORD AS YOU KNOW IT?"
Moore: "THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY CONSISTENT WITH THE RECORDS AS I KNOW IT."
Rather: "PUT IT IN CONTEXT AND PERSPECTIVE FOR US ... THE STORY AND WHAT WE CALL THE COUNTERATTACK ON THE STORY. WHERE ARE WE RIGHT NOW?
Moore "I THINK WHAT HAS HAPPENED IS SOME INCRIMINATING DOCUMENTS HAVE COME OUT. THE WHITE HOUSE, YOU SHOULD REMEMBER, HAS NOT DISCREDITED THE DOCUMENTS. THEY'RE RELYING ON THE BLOGOSPHERE AND OTHER PEOPLE TO DO THAT. BECAUSE THE WHITE HOUSE PROBABLY KNOWS THESE DOCUMENTS ARE IN FACT REAL."
The book on Amazon:

This is hardly a non-partisan person for Rather to use!
Unbe-f'n-lievable
Oh my god!!!!!
Nice catch bump.
Yeah, Moore is sure not one of dem partisan political operatives. Dan is such a straight shootin fella.
What's even more interesting is that Jim Moore is the same guy who tipped off the MSM on the months-old Ben Barnes videotape on the internet. So he has even more of a vested interest in making Dan Rather look credible.
So CBS is relying on certified Clintonistas and their apparatchiks.
No wonder they weren't in the mood to reveal their "expert" and "sources."
And the MSM says that "we" don't have any standards?
It's as if the 90s are being reopened for review. I'm not in the mood, but, whatever it takes......
Well, Rather certainly did not intend to use non-partisan "guests" to bolster his case.
Wow! Folks, we cannot let this story go! This is a true conspiracy against President Bush. We owe it to him to bring out the truth and make these liars pay. I hope we are all thinking WE SHALL NOT FALTER, WE SHALL NOT FAIL.
A James Moore co-wrote "Bush's Brain"
Naw......
Not really.
(Look at the track record over all the years.)
I'd say that was Rather DUmb of him.
You know I hope someone send Drudge a flow chart to post on his website, not the far fetched one with George Soros, and arrows to the Kerry campaign, moveon.org and George wanting to legalize drugs.
The kind of flow chart I am talking about is one that shows the Rather connection to his daughter who was fundraising for a democrat in texas and that candidates connection to.... also arrows to this Clinton operative as a resource, arrows to the handwriting expert who verified the signature here and on Vince Fosters suicide letter.
Yes this is a great catch and the pieces are starting to come together!
What is Jim Moore's connections to that other esteemed personage, Burkitt?
Not sure. But Dan Rather should have mentioned that Moore was behind the Barnes story being revived. It's a pretty important detail, IMHO.
I think there's some meat here...
According to the mods, we are not to cite DU as a source for anything. Prepare for your one day suspension like I got.
