Rush is reporting that the docs came from the Kerry campaign and that the campaign knew that were fakes.

Rush also mentioned the relationship between Dan Rather's daughter Robin and Ben Barnes (interviewed by Rather on 60 Minutes) and their Demoncrat fundraising activities in Austin, Texas.


Robin Rather


Ben Barnes

Was Robin Rather and/or Ben Barnes the source of the forged documents?

So Dan Rather is standing by his meatloaf? Didn't he get a ticket for that just last month? Some people never learn...

Realistic Perspective BUMP!

Still, let's have some fun and break out the marshmallows and roast them while we can. We can poke the rats with the hot sticks when we're through...

I'm going to smoke myself one hell of an expensive cigar tonight in celebration. Might even break out the 30 year old scotch.

Sounds like a good plan. Think I'll do the same!

Media source in New York says Rather just did an interview with CNN on the street: "I know this story is the truth...There will be no retraction...When people talk about where we got the story they're only doing it because they don't like the story..."

Well maybe Dan thinks there will be no retractions, but the executives of CBS might think otherwise within the next 24 to 72 hours if they want to keep even a shred of their audience share for the TV news and news programs ....

how long before kerry has yet another campaign staff shakeup?



Kerry will allow CBS to fight this out. Perhaps this was the design. This pulls kerry's faux military record off the front page. AND per Clinton's instructions takes Vietnam off teh front page too.

Rush is doing a great deconstruction of this. Either CBS was duped by Karl Rove (to which the world will go HUH? --they shouldn't be that stupid), or, more likely, they were duped by their friends at the DNC. I vote the latter, given that CBS didn't bother vetting the story or any sources. They must have felt that it wasn't necessary.

Both of the possibilities you list involve CBS being duped. I don't think they were duped at all. Rather :=) than that, I'd propose they were willing participants in a deliberate fraud.

I am really starting to believe in the Hillary! '08 operatives in the Kerry campaign

Yep, I agree... it's sabotage. The Clintonistas came on board and planted a bomb.

"Anyway, it is rather astonishing that CBS would fall for something so obviously fake."

Why do you think they actually fell for it, rather then actively participated in speading this crap!!!

60 Minutes does slant/tilt/lean/embrace a pro-demoncrat view point!

Fortunately for us, Rather does not matter. He did very little "leg work" on this story in all likelyhood.

Wait, wasn't it McAuliffe who said 'the seriousness of the charges is more important than the authenticity of the documents' yesterday?

Bingo.

As was true for liberals in the case of Fahrenheit 9/11, the package might be a brazen, outrageous, bald manipulation of evidence and pack of lies, but if they are convinced the underlying story is true, the form in which it is "proved" just doesn't matter.

Kerry: Somebody set us up the bomb.
Clintonistas: You have no chance to survive. Make your time. All your votes are belong to us.

I said earlier, the DNC, the Kerry campaign, and CBS are involved in a criminal conspiracy to defraud the American people. People need to go to jail for this stuff. They have no ethics. They are criminals.

CBS has no reason to protect the confidentiality of a fraudulent source. By doing so, they are deliberately participating in the fraud.

Linda Vester just said on DaySide that CBS still stands by the memo's.

CBS and Rather were not interested in authenticity. They wanted to get something out there to stop Kerry's bleeding in the polls. The were wong, wong, wong.

I thought Rather paraphrased this line during his "on the street" CNN interview Rush played in his 1st hour.

They are still clueless after all these years.
Will this episode cause anyone to realize how McAwful McAuliffe is?
