***The controversy has brewed a new blog — Rathergate.com — which calls for Rather's resignation. ***

"THEY ARE REAL! I TYPED THEM UP RIGHT HERE! WHY WON'T THE MASSES BELIEVE ME???????"

[blanknoone]

I am not wise enough to know what I really want. Half of me wants the President to stay above this fray, stay on message and go about winning re-election. The other half of me wants the President to take this opportunity to do something even bigger...landing a big blow in the even more important culture wars.

If the President directly denounces CBS's story as a politically motivated forgery by biased media, it will force MSM scrutiny. And Rather's story will collapse like a house of cards, along with CBS's credibility. It will also call into question other MSM credibility to a much larger group of people. He has the option of adding media bias to the major political issues of the day. That will not likely help him in this election...it would earn him the undying enmity of the left stream media. But it would be very good in the long term.

It drags CBS' credibility a notch

Quite a commentary on the current state of credibility of CBS that a screw-up of this magnitude only drags CBS' credibility "a notch."

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

"But CBS used several techniques to make sure these papers should be taken seriously, talking to handwriting and document analysts and other experts who strongly insist the documents could have been created in the '70s,"

...or the 80's or the 90's. I thought Kerry topped the scale for arrogant. It's a friggin' tie.

[USNBandit]

But CBS used several techniques to make sure these papers should be taken seriously

Extremely interesting choice of words. Most journalists would have used several techniques to ensure the documents were genuine.

[tcostell]

It may be that CBS is the victim of a whopping journalistic hoax, besmearing a president to bring him down," New York Times columnist William Safire wrote in his nationally syndicated column, published Monday in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Or it may be that Dan Rather and the Editorial staff at CBS are a bunch of partisan hacks who are trying to influence the outcome of an election, and are prepared to sacrifice their credibility to do it.

[mass55th]

Has Kerry addressed the National Guard yet? I'd heard that he was scheduled to, but can't remember exactly when.

[PJ-Comix]

Safire concluded with a direct address to Rather: "Hey, Dan: On this, recognize the preponderance of doubt. Call for a panel of old CBS hands and independent editors to re-examine sources and papers. Courage."

To which Rather would respond:

"Hey Bill: I already made a semi-limited hangout. Now I'm in my stonewll mode in order to let CBS News twist slowly in the wind. What's the frequency, Bill?"

[vrwinger]

what we consider to be reliable sources

these papers should be taken seriously

experts who strongly insist the documents could have been created in the '70s

Lots of wiggle room in their defense, I'd say...

[trebb]

Even first lady Laura Bush has joined the fray, saying in a radio interview Monday that the documents are likely forgeries "and I think that's terrible, really."

Anybody here believe that the Prez would send his wife out to lie for him? I'm not one of them...

[Williams]

Rather quoted a White House spokesman as saying, "As you know, we have repeatedly addressed these issues."

And this Rather considers a mortal sin, the fact that the White House has answered all these questions over the years. And didn't want to get involved with Rather's latest make believe story. Dan rather is not a serious journalist, never has been. He's an aging and petulent left wing jerk.

MEMO

TO: Dan Ra^ther

SUBJECT: Holes, Pits, Craters, Hollows, Wells, ect...

Dan,

Quit digging.

[Tribune7]

The docs are forgeries but just for an interesting intellectual exercise let's suppose they weren't.

Mr. Rather what's the big deal if Bush snuck out of TANG a little early?

Rater: It speaks to his character.

So what?

Rater: It shows he's irresponsible. That he can't be trusted witht he nuclear football.

Well, why was this not a consideration with Clinton? His bodyguard was accusing him of smuggling cocaine for Pete's sake. State police said he was using them to procure women.

Rater: They were clearly kooks and screwballs. You can't take the words of kooks and screwballs seriously. Right, Kenneth. Kenneth. I have the frequency. Courage.

KERRY GAVE TESTIMONY BASED UPON FALSE INFORMATION
THAT KERRY KNEW AHEAD OF TIME TO BE FALSE!



September 6, 2004 -- **BREAKING** In Yesterday's Lies: Steve Pitkin and the Winter Soldiers, Scott Swett tells the story of a former VVAW member and participant in the Winter Soldier Investigation who states that John Kerry and others pressured him to give false testimony about American atrocities in Vietnam. After more than 33 years, Pitkin is the first Winter Soldier "witness" to file a legal affadavit regarding that event...

My name is Steve Pitkin, age 20, from Baltimore. I served with the 9th Division from May of '69 until I was airvaced in July of '69. I'll testify about the beating of civilians and enemy personnel, destruction of villages, indiscriminate use of artillery, the general racism and the attitude of the American GI toward the Vietnamese. I will also talk about some of the problems of the GIs toward one another and the hassle with officers.

Jane Fonda tells the student audience at the Michigan State University in 1969:

"I would think that if you understood what communism was, you would hope,
you would pray on your knees, that we would someday become communist."

Who really cares whether or not the memos are authentic?
Even if they are for real (which I do not believe they are), who gives a rat's ass whether or not George W. Bush showed up for a routine physical exam 38 years ago?
GWB never gave aid & comfort to the enemy.
GWB never went before Congress and falsely testified against his fellow officers and enlisted men who were still in combat.
GWB didn't hang out with Jane Fonda under the Viet Cong banner.
