Fake but True is the liberal motto. Why the problem all of a sudden?

A “new hire” assigned to deprecate Beck's Rally. Clueless, programmed, brainwashed, and desperately seeking acceptance.

In other words, AN IDIOT.

No problem. I wasn’t going to give mother jones a hit on the link so I didn’t know.

This is a stupid point of attack except for the fact that I was told by Glenn constantly that even a white lie would make me a bad American and part of the corrupt system. I listen 3 hours a day, every day and he was very pushy on this point. If this is true it really hurts his credibility on further issues personally.

Well, we know that the National Archives is completely honest and adheres all to the rules down to the tiniest detail and keeps a second by second timeline of each document.

The only thing you need to say to olbermann and mother jones is "Sandy Berger".

The lefties must be so proud. All of the crap that has occurred in the past year and this is their big scoop. Better break out the Pulitzers!

Thanks for that link. My wife is looking for stuff to adorn the walls of our homeschool classroom (already got a cross, American flag, and Gadsden flag). I think our founding documents will be awesome additions!

I’m surprised Mediaite actually linked to the Right Scoop post that shows video of the FULL explanation of why he worded it the way he did...because the video is a fantastic rebuttal.

Maybe they’re counting on their readers to not be curious enough to see for themselves?

The woman at the National Archives (who wasn’t there, said ‘nobody but staff, handles the documents.’

Nobody? I'll bet there's video of non staff handling documents on PBS, The History Channel... programs.

Well, when I was at the WH, nobody gets into the Situation Room either, but the SS agent let us in, and I got to sit in President Bush’s chair!

Things like that happen all the time. I have a friend who, back in her prime, was able to do things like that. She'd bat her baby blues and no man could turn her down. Some people show so much enthusiasm, you just can't tell them no. You know it will be something they'll remember all their lives and tell their grandchildren about.

That’s their whopper? If he held or didn’t hold a document? Maybe Glenn just didn’t go into detail about what it takes to hold fragile documents. Maybe he didn’t go into detail that he was holding the device that was actually holding the documents. Did he even say specifically which documents he was holding?

I know he has quite a few original documents in his personal collection, I’ll bet he’s never actually touched some of them with his bare hands, but he has still held every one of them in some way.

A whopper would have been if nothing at all was written on the East side of the top of the Washington Monument...you know “where no man can see it”.

These guys got nothing.

Huh? If I’m understanding this correctly...are they nuts?
Is this for real? Am I missing something? What did he supposedly lie about? Again,are they nuts?

“Sandy Berger” indeed! That was a smashing point! Why would we expect the government zombies at the Archives to be any more conscienctious and diligent than the creeps at SEC, who reportedly sit around all day watching internet porn!

The donkelphant, by way of considering Beck's "lie" a closed case, admits, "...Cooper acknowledges that someone at the archives did show the document to Beck, but that was the extent of it."

This raises considerable questions about what might or might not have happened. Is it in some kind of a case? Could Beck have held it in its case, or something like that? Or could this "showing" have transgressed official guidelines?

I would note that Beck's words convey the impression that he said he "held it in his hands", but of course he doesn't say that. He just said he "held" it. I would have to assume that he felt justified in using the word.
