Get the word out
Done.
Done, thanks for the heads up.
I wrote this group asking them to lead a boycott during their new season premier - Sept 21-28.
I think many people are fuming at CBS but don't know what to do. They won't "boycott" if they think it is only them.
I think an organized group is needed to lead the way.
My boycott of the alphabet ministries of information is now in it's tenth year.
AC
I signed the petition, and then I made ANOTHER donation to the Swift Boat Vets !!
Done and thanks!
HIT THE SPONSORS..... RATHER LASTED THROUGH NUMERIOUS ADMISTRATION... HIT THE WALLETS.... SPONSORS.... CORPORATIONS WHO SPONSORED THE OVERTHROUGH BY THE SOCIALISTS ..... RATHER IS THE LEAD DOG...... BUT THERE ARE OTHERS..... THE GRAY LADY DIED YEARS AGO.....
MAKE IT SNOW IN CORPORATE AMERICA.
BTW.....I also sent an e mail to CBS telling them I was going to boycott ALL of their advertisers. If you go to CBSNews.com, you will also see a "link" they have for "consumers" to report a "scam" they (CBS) should investigate. I e mailed the link, and told them to start investigating THEMSELVES and Dan Rather!!!
Done
Done! I also posted my local SeeBS affiliate last night and gave them a cyber berating... I also went to RightMarch.com and sent a post from there too... I suggest all of you do the same.
I'm sick to death of Dan Blather and his arrogance. Mr. Blather and SeeBS News are nothing more than a fraud... They're trying to play us as fools; using WORD to replicate 1972 memos. GIVE ME A BREAK!!!
Dan Blather = BUSTED!!!
Wish it said something stronger..........
Done.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- This is not the first time Dan Rather has found himself in a serious dispute with a U.S. president.
There was this exchange in 1974 during the height of the Watergate scandal with then-President Richard Nixon:
Nixon: Are you running for something?
Rather: No sir, are you?
And there was this exchange with then-Vice President George Bush in 1988 over the Iran-Contra scandal.
Rather: I don't want to be argumentative, Mr. vice president.
Bush: You do, Dan.
Rather: No -- no, sir, I don't.
Bush: This is not a great night, because I want to talk about why I want to be president, why those 41 percent of the people are supporting me. And I don't think it's fair to judge my whole career by a rehash of Iran. How would you like it if I judged your career by those seven minutes when you walked off the set in New York?
Now, the 72-year-old CBS News anchor finds himself in yet another confrontation with a Republican president.
"I want to emphasize: I stand by my president. We are in a time of war, and I stand behind my president. There is not joy in reporting such a story, but my job as a journalist is not to be afraid, and when we come with facts, and legitimate questions supported by witnesses and documents that we believe to be authentic, to raise those questions no matter how unpleasant they are," Rather said Friday.
At issue is his report on "60 Minutes" that aired Wednesday -- a report that included documents purporting to show that the current President Bush, while serving in the Texas Air National Guard, did not meet all his military obligations.
"They [the White House] have not answered the question of did or did the president not obey or obey an order? Was he or was he not suspended for failure to meet performance standards of the Air Force? If he didn't take the physical, why didn't he take the physical?" Rather said.
But now, there are questions about the authenticity of the documents released by "60 Minutes."
The Washington Post says the "60 Minutes" documents are not consistent with other documents released by Bush's Air National Guard unit in the early '70's.
"If you compare the documents that CBS produced with the documents that we know to be authentic, that did come from Bush's National Guard unit, none of those documents use proportionate spacing. And that's only one of the anomalies," says the Post's Michael Dobbs.
Experts contacted by CNN say there are some inconsistencies in the type style and formatting -- noting those styles then existed on typewriters but were not common. They also say only a review of the original documents -- not copies -- can completely resolve the matter.
Beyond that, surviving relatives of Bush's then commander, Lt. Col. Jerry Killian, the author of the purported documents, insist they are fake. They say Killian always believed Bush was an excellent pilot and that he never wrote these documents. Killian died in 1984.
"The story is true. The story is true," Rather said. "The questions raised in the story are serious and legitimate questions."
Rather denies there is any internal CBS News investigation under way -- a statement backed by the network.
Rather also said the possibility of issuing any kind of recant or apology was "not even discussed. Nor should it be."
Here's an email I sent to my Representative:
The CBS/Dan Rather airing of the phony documents attempting to defame President Bush's honorable service in the National Guard represents a new Low by this network and their news anchor. In addition, it represents a treacherous attempt by those responsible to influence the results of the presidential election through the deliberate spreading of false information.
As my Representative, I urge you to use the full influence of your office through whatever means are available, including the Federal Communications Commission, to investigate this matter and demand that CBS and their cohorts begin act to responsibly or lose their broadcast privileges.
Dear Representative Pallone:
CBS published false information based upon forged documents which create false charges about the service my president in the Air Force Reserves. The inadequate due dilligence on the part of CBS has been well documented. Likewise, the liberal bias of CBS and especially 60 Minutes cannt be seriously challenged. As my representative, who has taken an oath to uphold the laws and Constitution of the United States, you owe a responsibility to call for an investigation into the source of the forged documents and for a declaration that CBS is not news organization within the meaning of McCain Feingold. CBS, which has chosen to become and agent of the Democatic National Committee, should not be permitted to further corrupt out political process by providing "news" coverage for the presidential election.
I want the fraud tobe proven beyond a doubt and then a legal investigation which requires the name of the person who gave it to Dan. I want LEGAL action and CRIMINAL charges here - not just a boycott.
Pay no attention to that font on the memo....just what it says....just what it says....
Dan Rather aka The Wizard of Ooze
Done and done and thanks RR.
