He (Dan Rather) has made war on our country. His (Rather's)goal was to break the American people's will to do what is needed to be done.

Far be it for me to defend Dan Rather, but when I read a statement, such as that above, I have to say something.

That statement is about as asinine as I have ever read here on Free Republic. It's absurdity can only be compared with some of the rantings of the lunatic fringe we see at places like DU and other extremist websites.

I never watch Rather, he is a pompous liberal ass. But your comments are absurd.

You have a point. A good whipping by a wet noodle would have made it easier for me to swallow my pride & to admit that you're right.... Somewhat. ;o)

I'm reminded of my nephew taking the wheels off of his wagon & hiding them. His Mom was going to use it to haul the 55 gallon drum filled with some kind of sugary, gooey liquid from her union hall to somewhere, I know not where. The idea was to dump the stuff in front of some business, as part of a protest against Coke.

Back to dear old Dan & my tude toward him... Elitism in all forms gets under my skin. When it masquerades as journalism, it gets me angry.
