Bolded text speaks for itself.

Its a little like Michael Moore calling F-911 his "version" of the truth.

[VisualizeSmallerGovernment]

Maybe Bill O'Reilly is behind the memos. Either Bush gets smeared or Rather does. Fair and Balanced.

well, a tip of the Stetson to you.,P> How about I just kick your ass you pompous jerk, masquerading as some down home Texas, aw shucks maam, rube. You wouldn't be caught dead in a stetson lest it mess up your 2,000 dollar do.

So Rather thinks he is still an honest man even after pushing his fake documents as truth. Is this atheist morality?

[BigLittle]

.....who among us can say that we have never lied?
I guess Dan-o lost sight of the fact the Clintoon lied UNDER OATH, while the president of the United States......now how many of have done that?
What a sack of shirt he is.

Someone with research resources greater than mine should go back and check Rather's activity on the eve of the 1992 election. George H. W. Bush appeared to be surging in some polls and potentially pulling even with Bill Clinton. Then, a couple of days before the election, the TV news networks were leaked a memo that supposedly "proved" Bush's involvement in Iran-contra. All of the networks carried it, but Rather was the most brutal - calling it "the smoking gun" linking Bush to the Reagan-era scandal.

I recall that it was later decided that the document was very unclear on this fact (though it was not a forgery!),and that the leaker was a pal of Al Gore's on a Senate committee staff. But the damage had been done. By Rather. To another Bush.

DAN RATHER: "I do think you can be an honest person - I think you can be a decent- you tell a lie believing that, "Well, maybe I'll be protecting somebody else by telling the lie."

And of course Mr. Rather believes he is 'protecting' John Kerry's election chances by broadcasting false documents about Pres. Bush.
