CBS, all your news are belong to DNC!

[southernnorthcarolina]

Opinions, anyone...

Who is the most odious?

Michael Moore

Terry McAuliffe

Paul Begala

Kitty Kelly

James Carville

Teresa Heinz Kerry

Dan Rather

If you had to choose only one, it wouldn't be so easy, would it? And of course, I've omitted some obvious candidates...

Now, the producer says, there is growing concern inside the building on 57th Street that they may have been suckered by the Kerry campaign.

Would John F. Kerry lie to the news media?

You know, this is just one more time for us Bush guys and gals to be proud. If the shoe were on the other foot, the likes of kennedy/kerry would be screaming for a federal criminal investigation, while all the DemocRatic leaders took turns at slandering the President.

[Nick Danger]

If CBS admits that they got these documents from the Kerry campaign, then two really neat things happen.

The first is that the idea that the Kerry campaign forges documents enters the zeitgeist. People start to wonder what other documents the Kerry campaign might have forged. The Lehman commendation? The DD-214 with the Silver Star with 'V'? It might take a lot of popcorn to watch all the fun this could cause.

The second is that the media being in the tank for Kerry becomes impossible to deny. Here CBS News has literally taken documents from the Kerry campaign and promoted them as "news," with an obvious intent to smear Bush. The media's credibility takes another mighty blow.

This is almost too good to be true.

If Rove duped the Kerry Team then Kerry certaintly isn't qualified to be president. Took me 10 seconds to realize the memo's were phony and you can look up my post 2 days ago of me questioning the fonts when it first appeared on the republic. The memo's are just too obivious to try and pass the buck to Rove on the grounds "we may have been duped."

Someone took a calculated risk to try and smear Bush and got caught. CBS is equally to blame because there were red-flags written all over the doc's.

I've been following this breathlessly all day on FR, not daring to believe it could really be a forgery. Now I will make my first contribution.

What happened here on Free Republic today was nothing short of historic. We've been reading a lot about about the role "new" media, blogs, etc., have been playing lately, but NOTHING has proven this dynamic shift more than today's events. It will take a little bit of time for us to get perspective, but we saw a seismic shift today.

Power to the people, indeed.

[atomic conspiracy]

Rove would not have any way of knowing that the DNC and CBS would fall for such obvious forgeries.
It took the blogosphere less than 12 hours to tear them apart and demonstrate their recent origin.

My money is on Kerry. He has a history of leaking, coercion, and lying.

Check out the John F. Kerry Timeline.

Here is one of the articles I have linked, which says a lot of Kerry's character or lack thereof: Kerry's Disloyal Nicaraguan Journey

Now, the producer says, there is growing concern inside the building on 57th Street that they may have been suckered by the Kerry campaign. "There is a school of thought here that the Kerry people dumped this in our laps, figuring we'd do the heavy lifting on the story

I wonder what stories the Kerry Camp dumped on ABC's lap that they reported on?

[Uncle Miltie]

What did Kerry know, and when did he know it?

[Phantom Lord]

self bump

[Alouette]

there was uncertainty even among the group of producers and researchers working on the story.

FONTGATE!!!

They all knew it was bogus but were afraid to say so out loud because their jobs were on the line.

"Oh, your Imperial Majesty, that new wardrobe of yours is just to die for!"

[GOPcapitalist]

Bingo. We've got our DNC connection.

An unknown Kerry operative composes the forgery on his computer:

[ScottFromSpokane]

It's good to be a Republican.

[goldstategop]

Karl Rove is Dan Rather's friend - he made sure Dan set this up to discredit Kerry. This is the new DU spin.

[Casloy]

I hear CBS is filing an FOIA and demanding all the e-mails Bush sent to his commanding officer in 1972. CBS says the revelations will be shocking.

[jbstrick]

Is it me?????

This may be VERY significant, The Kerry campaign was DIRECTLY involved in this.
