They are slamming CBS!
Today is great day. Shock and Awe. Shock and Awe...
Too bad they're behind Fox on this. (and, we could say, US)
Perhaps this will be entered alongside F911 for this year's best documentary?
Now THAT was a visual I DID'NT need! Think I'll just skip supper tonight and have a beer instead. :-)
PBS News Hour/Lehrer reported that the docs were real - no alleged or possible about it.
D Rather has been trying to do hit pieces on the Bush family for years. Looks like W snookered him into his deathbed...
The Dem voters obediently pushed Kerry through the primaries, convinced the media could hide the Wizard behind his screen until November. All they had to say was, "There's no place like Vietna, there's no place like Vietnam."
Ooops. Here come the Swifties. Now Kerry's Vietnam service, which as any thinking person knows is his proxy for being "tough enough" to fight the war on terror suddenly unravels. Not to worry---here come the boys from the press, dutifully attacking the Swiftvets. Oops again. No impact. Try again: now they try to tie Bush to the Swiftvets. Double oops. Still no effect. Well, we'll just fix that: they trotted out a couple of "pro-Kerry" vets. There! That oughta do it. Uh-uh.
Now panic started to set in. The Vietnam-is-Iraq-is-the-War-on-Terror isn't working! Change the topic. But they can't. The press, like the Persian Immortals, dutifully marched on, reporting attacking in every possible way the Swiftvets' story.
Here comes the convention bounce and utter desperation set in! Quick! Who has a story? Any story that will slime Bush? Kitty Kelly? Great---put her out. National Guard stuff? Yes! Yes. Go with it.
The final irony is that since neither the Dems nor the press have been honest---the Dems about who they are and who they want their candidate to be, and the press about . . . well, ANYTHING---they are two prisoners, chained together in quicksand, one pulling the other down.
I love it when a plan comes together.
meat is back on the menu!
Dan Rather has the most bias, least integrity @ CBS.

Something tells me Bush holds all the aces
At the beginning of the year, Thomas Lifson, who was at Harvard Business School with George W Bush, made an interesting observation about the President. He notes that young George "was a very avid and skillful poker player" when he was a Business Administration student and that "one of the secrets of a successful poker player is to encourage your opponent to bet a lot of chips on a losing hand.
Did FR uncover this and break with this? I can't go back and read those threads but it sure looks like it. If so, I hope you guys get credit for it. FR rules!
BTW, if someone has MS FrontPage and a little time on their hands, an "index" reply that summarizes all the research on this would be great to have. It's not hard to do. You just cut & paste the main important discoveries FReepers made. (Much like we did on the Nick Berg research thread at reply 1859). It's just a thought. It sure does make it easier for people to figure out what's going on if they come in on the middle of something.
Anyway, if not this time, then maybe for the next thing that comes along. (Actually, a summary reply WOULD be a lot easier to do if you started keeping records of the important discoveries/replies from the very beginning.)
Anyway, congratulations to all for a terrific job.
Great analogy!
Really? Where has See?BS said they came from?
Maybe Snakehead provided the fake memos to CBS.
"Only if the next call is to the FBI."
THANK YOU!!
This is serious, to forge documents..whoa.
CBS was not happy running 1,000,000 anti Bush stories this election. Noooooooo, they just had to go for 1,000,001.
Now look at them.
Stupid Bastards.
LOL
Is there any law being broken when someone forges military memos? Is this a slap on the wrist like for Sandy Burglar stealing secret documents?
Amen!
"he he he...gotcha, Dan" W
I absolutely HATE the main stream media. Hate, hate, HATE.
