I was in the Iowa State Capitol where CBS was doing their night news broadcasts. In the library, sitting alone, was Dan Rather.
I decided to walk up to him and introduce myself. We talked for several minutes and I told him that I was a Republican, albeit a moderate one.
I thought Dan Rather was one of the more self-effacing, congenial media celebrities I had ever met. He seemed sincerely interested in talking with me.
At the end, we brought one of his assistants over to take a picture of him and I. Though I've frequently questioned his ideology over the years, his dealings with an average guy like me improved my view of him tremendously.
If you believe Dan Rather, I pity you. He lies for the lefty DemocRAT party for a living and HATES Republicans. Go ahead and promote Rather. In the end you'll find out you have been had BIGTIME!
The world is not as "black and white" as you portray it.
Folks can disagree with your politics and still be good folks.
