Somebody Correct Rush Limbaugh
Blam ^ | blam

Someone needs to correct Rush Limbaugh.

He just said on his radio program that it was Roll Call that exposed the Dan Rather fake letters during the Bush presidential campaign.

I believe it was our own FReeper 'Bulkhead' who exposed the fake.

Here’s a “Dan Rather” post from September 2004 you’ll get a kick out of.

CBS itself is trashing the movie Truth.

CBS Offers Withering Assessment of the Rathergate Movie ‘Truth’

It’s astounding how little truth there is in “Truth.” There are, in fact, too many distortions, evasions and baseless conspiracy theories to enumerate them all. The film tries to turn gross errors of journalism and judgment into acts of heroism and martyrdom. That’s a disservice not just to the public but to journalists across the world who go out every day and do everything within their power, sometimes at great risk to themselves, to get the story right.

I agree. It was FR that brought this to light.

Brings back great memories seeing names that are no longer around. I actually found FR from Drudge on the Rathergate story and lurked throughout and then finally signed up.
People were nicer back then too! :(

I live in an age of lies where a movie like this could actually be produced.

I guess that’s one way to look at it.

You’re also living in an age when the subject of
the movie is publicly rebuking it before it opens
in a theater.

I lived for several years quite close to the Washington (state) border, just across which was Washington State University.

They had a large and supposedly highly-regarded journalism/media/communications school that annually handed out an award in honor of Edward R. Murrow, who had attended school there and for whom the journalism school was named.

Guess who won the award a few years ago? Not Buckhead, of course. No, no—it was Danny-boy!

There may be some debunking and rebuking that takes place but the Left lives so deeply in denial, illusion and vicious hostility that seeking the truth (let alone facing it) isn’t even on the menu anymore.

It’s Orwellian, man. Early totalitarian. I think one reason Trump is so popular is that he talks right through that fog of Newspeak and out-and-out lies. “Hillary shouldn’t be at the debate! She should be in jail!”

Can’t imagine Romney saying that. Nor poor suffering put-upon Job (as in the Bible) Bush either.

The only reason, IMO, that CBS is rebuking this movie is because of the Pajamas Media. They know we’re watching and they don’t want to be seen as supporting this propaganda.

The great thing about this is that it permanently outs Redford and Blanchett as the leftist whores that they are. Not even CBS will back them up.

Yes and they also denounced the movie ‘cause the heedless, vicious Redford and clueless d—kless Rather smeared CBS with their lies.

This link takes you to the Table of Contents of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth book, To Set the Record Straight

. . . and this link is to the chapter of that book which gives a blow-by-blow account of that night: Rather's Ruin and the Rise of the Pajamahadeen

Here is the post

Key line: “I am saying these documents are forgeries, run through a copier for 15 generations to make them look old. “

that's a copy from an earlier posting. . .

My comment to Buckhead and JR on the original thread back in September 2004:

To: Buckhead; Jim Robinson I am saying these documents are forgeries, run through a copier for 15 generations to make them look old.
This should be pursued aggressively.

This thread will be one that goes down in history as a turning point in the election of 2004 that assured the survival of freedom. I will be able to tell my grandchildren that I was here on this thread.

I recommend that this thread be locked to preserve it in its original condition!

I saved the pdf files of the fake Bush Documents. Here they are:

http://www.varmintal.com/BushGuardmay19.pdf

http://www.varmintal.com/BushGuardaugust1.pdf

http://www.varmintal.com/BushGuardaugust18.pdf

It is time to revisit them. I couldn't find them on the internet.
