I suspect he was tilted by his daughters burgeoning career in rat politics.....may have done this for her....but it backfired!
Know what scares me about his retiring/firing? He MIGHT move back to Texas..........I don't think I could abide that. I might hafta move!*~*
You usually can't have one without the other.
My fear is after the election is over, a new wave of calls to regulate the internet will be heard. If the dems and left think the internet was the main factor in a defeat, they will stop at nothing close it down.
We never thought CFR would be successful because of the regulation (outlawing) of free politcal speech prior to an election. They did it then. They will do it now.
The old media loves CFR. In their perfect world, CFR insured Rather could have run that story without answer from the public. The internet will be regarded as a loophole which must be closed. Because of the incumbency protection of CFR, closing that loophole will have the same bipartisan support as CFR.
Deceit is the mascot of progressives.
Yeah I worry about it too. A lot actually. God help us if that happens.
Yes, it's just not as subtle as calling states for democrats with 20 percent of the precincts reporting but waiting till 60 percent of precincts report before calling states for republicans.
Drudge/WA Post have all the topics uncovered by Freepers and backed up by "their experts." Rather is toast. A great job was done on this research.
We have to make up our minds that we will not let it happen. We depended on at least one branch of government protecting our right to free political speech withour fear of government retribution when CFR was being pushed though. Didn't happen. We know that this is something we have to protect. No one else will do it for us.
BTW, FOX News is giving Rathergate alot of attention this morning.
Dan Rather is too wealthy and has too much power. He is deceitful and self-delusional. He is not a very 'nice guy' by the accounts of those that have to work with him: He speaks softly and carries a sharp knife. Dan is just like the French.
Both... and he's a ghoul!
My Dad a chopper pilot will vouch for that. rather came up to him and other pilots and wanted them to go start something or just shoot at nothing because he needed a story.Dad refused so rather went on down to the next unit and paid them to do what my Dads unit wouldn't.
I hear you loud and clear.
Since CBS wants to bring up things from 1970 or so, maybe we should bring up Rather's history from back then.
"IS DAN RATHER DECEITFUL, OR DELUDED, OR BOTH?"
Arrogant, deceitful and deluded.
Hell, ANYTHING presented by CBS news has been "suspect" for me since the days of Walter Cronkheit. I haven'te even seen Rather's face "on the air" except for flipping through the channels--I will NOT watch ANY CBS "news" stories. They have NO crebitility.
Too easy...BOTH!
PLZ we are falling into Carvels (DNC/Clintons/whomevers hands) we need to get past this ....this is what the DEMS want..a side track.....EXPOSE KERRY, Bush can defend himself!!!
