Dan Rather: "powerful and extremely well-financed forces"
New York Observer ^
Posted on 09/15/2004 2:13:33 PM PDT by akostenko
Mr. Rather said that the focus on questions over the veracity of the memos was a smoke screen perpetrated by right-wing allies of the Bush administration.
"I think the public, even decent people who may be well-disposed toward President Bush, understand that powerful and extremely well-financed forces are concentrating on questions about the documents because they cant deny the fundamental truth of the story," he said.

I am stunned by the relevance and accuracy of Dan's reportage as I sit here in my cloth-of-gold pajamas, lighting a thousand dollar cigar with a million dollar bill.

So this is Dan Rather's swan song...
Sad.
Dan tried to jump the shark, and he was eaten alive.

"I think the public, even decent people who may be well-disposed toward President Bush, understand that powerful and extremely well-financed forces are concentrating on questions about the documents because they cant deny the fundamental truth of the story," he said. The 'truth of the story' as told in our fake documents. Rather is not so stupid as to be unable to grasp the contradiction. He is, however, a big enough ass to stonewall.

I thought we were just unemployed schleps in our pajamas. Well, that was three days ago. That statement is now inoperative. The new story is much more sinister, with poor Dan singlehandedly doing battle with the forces of evil.

How can there be a ...fundamental truth of the story... if the documents that are supposed to support this truth, are lies?

Wait...we can't deny the fundamental truth of the story that's based on a lie?
What fundamental truth - that the document IS a lie???
Color me impressed with that line of logic...

1. forge documents to make story appear credible
2. pass documents off as real
3. act indiginant when docs are questioned
4. blame whistleblowers for distracting us from the real story (which is the content of the faorged documents)
5. act old and alzheimered once you and your elderly "journalist" friends at SeeBS realize it ain't flyin'
