White House Says CBS Documents Part of DNC Plot

WASHINGTON (Talon News) -- Controversy continued to swirl around documents that CBS has used to further its story about gaps in President George W. Bush's National Guard service. On Wednesday, the White House said that while there are questions about the authenticity of the documents, there is no question about the timing of their appearance 50 days before the election.
The White House released the documents shortly after receiving them from CBS.
White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan defended the move saying, "We received those documents from a major news organization. We had every reason to believe that they were authentic at that time."
He said that the documents were released in keeping with a policy of openness about the president's military service records. In February, over 400 pages were given to reporters when the issue of Bush's service in the Texas Air Guard was introduced to the 2004 campaign just as it was in 2000.
McClellan noted that since the documents were released there have been a number of questions that have been raised about their authenticity.
While he said the White House is not planning to investigate the documents itself, he added, "There continue to be questions raised. Those are serious issues; they ought to be looked into fully."
McClellan focused on the political impact of the documents.
"The one thing that is not under question is the timing of these orchestrated attacks by the Democrats on the President's service," McClellan said.
The press secretary continued, "These are old, recycled attacks, and the Democrats have made it clear that they intend to try to tear down the President and throw the kitchen sink at us because they can't run on John Kerry's record, and because they see him falling behind in the polls."
He supported that claim by citing that on Tuesday, the Democratic National Committee launched what it called "Operation Fortunate Son."
McClellan said, "Fortunate Son was the name of a book from the 2000 campaign that was written by a convicted felon who was widely discredited. And this whole effort is simply to attack the president."
He added, "Then you have this so-called group, Texans for Truth, which is lead by a Democrat operative in Texas who has the support of the MoveOn.org organization."
McClellan pointed out that Susan Estrich, a manager for Michael Dukakis' failed presidential campaign, wrote an op-ed in which she talked about how the Democrats are going to start engaging in personal attacks on the president's character.
The White House spokesman lamented, "The American people deserve better. It's just sad to see that they are lowering themselves to this level."
Talon News asked whether CBS's role in promoting forged documents jeopardized the presidential debate it is to moderate.
McClellan said, "In terms of the debates -- and I wouldn't connect the two here -- those are ongoing discussions between the two campaigns, and I don't have any update from here at this point."
Ping to my post (#3).
Who is the CBS moderator for the debates? I really think the White House needs to protest their involvement now that it is crystal clear to everyone that CBS will do anything to influence the election. Seriously....
Not just an error in validating source documents. The documents have been proven to be FORGED. CBS refuses to admit this even after conclusive evidence that they are forged. They have just brushed it off on "well financed right wing conspiracy" malarky.
Look, you plant the seed with a document that the 1stLt Bush was ordered to take a physical. The author is dead, so the next best thing is a memo with his signature.
Start surfacing rumors of drug use ...Kitty Kelly.
Then, lo and behold some other crackpot or memo comes out idicating that 1stLt Bush was avoiding the flight physical for fear of popping positive.
Its the same type of tripe used by Michael Moore.
I am sure the military did not do random drug tests in the early 70's. It was started late 70's early 80's.
My question is was it part of a routine aqnnual flight physical. Anyone know?
I love it. Didn't invent it however. First heard it in a Post from FReeper Martin Tell
I think it comes from offsite from someone called "Kerryspot"
Of course it's a plot. The DNC always scheming something...just like they tried in election 2000 to steal it away from the CLEAR WINNER: PRESIDENT BUSH.
More proof that frauds don't win elections, and that money can't buy elections either.
W '04!

Darn straight. And we need to push this!
He needs to be replaced with Brit Hume.
You have got to be kidding.
I thought PBS was going to aire and moderate the debates. Has that changed?
At any rate, we can be reasonably certain the moderator will not be Dan Rather.
I am willing to stipuate that this was a simple posting malfunction.
The < Sarcasm > tag just fell off.
