IS DAN RATHER DECEITFUL, OR DELUDED, OR BOTH?

It will be altogether fitting and proper when Kerryites gather
To reminisce about the body of "work" of their man, Dan Rather.

With his hand in the cookie jar, Dan's been caught, figuratively speaking.
Despite his desperate denials, off camera, he really must be freaking!

Poof! There went what was left of Dan's journalistic reputation,
As Dan gambled big to create an election-transforming sensation.

CBS and Dan now are twisting slowly in the wind.
But, their big Bush "exposure," they refuse to rescind.

note to old media scum..... "we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender"

And we'll do it in our pajamas!

think CBS will be allowed to stonewall until it is forgotten. I won't forget but many will not care.

The only way to move this story now is for the Killians to sue. I think even the threat of a lawsuit would bring CBS management to their knees.

Calling Ben Ginsburg!

this new article about kerry's silver star ...has longer legs regarding the truth about kerry, but press is killing time on this ALREADY BELEIVED TO BE A FORGERY....

Kerry And The Killing***....In an exclusive, The Point has obtained this document from U.S. Navy archives (you can see it here). The pertinent section reads:

"PCF 94 beached in center of ambush in front of small path when Viet Cong sprung up from bunker 10 feet from unit. Man ran with weapon towards hootch. Forward M-60 machine gunner wounded man in leg. Officer-in-charge, LTjg Kerry, jumped ashore and gave pursuit while other units saturated area with fire and beached placing assault parties ashore. Kerry chased VC inland behind hootch and shot him while he fled -- capturing one B-40 rocket launcher with round in chamber."

So there you have it. The official record written by John Kerry supports what the critics have alleged rather than the John Wayne Kerry version the Massachusetts liberal has been telling....***

I think I read that Dan Rather got a college deferment during the Korean War and then enlisted in the Reserves or Guard. After the War, he tried to become a Marine but couldn't finish boot camp, ended up in the Army. He tried at least once to say he was a former Marine but was debunked! He was told that he have had to at least finish boot camp to even THINK of using that distingushed alignment.

Not to mention...He calls himself a Marine...but the truth is...he joined and didn't make it thru boot camp!!!!!...That really must have had an affect on his self-esteem....

But Rather's ratings have probably never been better. At this point, perhaps, CBS has decided its all about ratings.
Which is good for us. It means they're emboldened to keep their leftist spew on the air.

Leftist spew will get them good ratings (what else will leftists watch on TV), but all that leftist spew on TV is going to turn off a lot of middle-road voters.

Dan Rather is 10 pounds of $#!+ in a five pound bag.

"Clinton taught us that if you lie long enough, enough people will believe the lie. Dan knows this."

Actually, that is not quite accurate. Clinton lied long enough that everyone now KNOWS he lied, his credibility is shot, and in fact his lies are what he will be forever known for.

And so with Mr. Blather.

I LOVE IT!

internet will be regarded as a loophole which must be closed.

What can they do? Shut down forums? Outlaw blogging? License links? The paradigm has changed and there is no going back.

Of course they will not shut it down, but they will try like hell to regulate it.
