[Mr. K]

does seeBS think they cant just (finally) say "OK they were forged" and that will be the end of it?

Dan Blather ran with this and lied about it for a week.

Dan Blather should be fired for sinking seeBS's credibility to ZERO

Did he run with the Swift Boat veterans story and defend it with such gusto?

[Semper Paratus]

So CBS is going to throw Burkett under the bus to protect Barnes the DNC and Rather.

Dan has been using a powerful new software from Microsoft

[Antoninus II]

If he admits to it, or they can definitively tie this to Burkette, he should be arrested immediately. Forging Federal documents is a felony.

[MarkT]

CBS should not waste its time nor limited credibility in now trying to convince people the source was a guardsman - a forged doc is a forged doc and the thrust of the story relating to the forged doc stops upon the submission and the submission becomes the story.

But frankly what CBS should be frightened out of its wits by is the following (taken from the DrudgeReport): "And in the nation's top market, New York, Rather finished not only behind NBC NIGHTLY NEWS and ABC WORLD NEWS TONIGHT -- but also pulled less audience than reruns of the SIMPSONS, WILL & GRACE and KING OF QUEENS." Mr. Dan, Good-night and Good-bye.

Burket has no ties to DNC?????

Once again Newsmax is on the job!

Burkett is a nut job who just happens to have one of the most powerful lawyers in Texas, David Van Os, who happens to be a major player in the DNC. He has hosted Kerry/DNC campaign rallies.

When questioned about Burkett being the source , the lawyer Van Os says something to the effect that forging documents is no big deal.

[jbwbubba]

If Burkett is the source and I say "if" then CBS lied again saying that the documents came from a source close to Killian and came from his personal files. How the hell would Burkett have access to Killian's personal files when he died in 1984, Killian was Air guard and Burkett was Army guard

[kellynla]

Well Burkett is a Bush hater and a couple bricks short of a full load now isn't he???

Doesn't excuse the sloppy and/or cavalier vetting of the bogus docs by See-BS now does it...

He's been outed and he has less credibility than a screen door on a submarine!
Time for Blather to retire!
And take the other two clowns from ABC & NBC with ya...

Semper Fi,
Kelly

[garyhope]

Does the Bush National Guard hoo ha carry any weight with any voters besides Democrats? Undecided's?

I know I don't care, I'm focused on more important issues like survival and terrorism, anti-Americanism, treason and left wing cultural and media hegemony and it's effects on my future.

[Sleeping Freeper]

Me thinks that Mr. Burkett will crack - he seems pretty fragile - we can then sit back and watch this scheme unravel as he turns on CBS.

[JulieRNR21]

Burkett is a Dem operative & so is his lawyer Van Os....those facts cannot be hidden so matter how SeeBS & Rather try to spin it!

Also Rather's daughter is a TX Dem activist.

[Arrowhead1952]

A few days later, said Burkett, he saw Bush's file and documents from it discarded in a trash can. He said he recognized the documents as retirement point summaries and pay forms.

If he, as an officer, did see the file and documents in the trash and did nothing, he was stupid to say the least. Every officer and NCO KNOWS files and documents are shredded, not discarded in trash cans.

[pnz1]

In Dowd's column today it asked "Are Democrats Paranoid?". It then went on to quote the secretary saying the documents content was okay, but they appear to be forgeries..

[finnman69]

See this thread. Burkett's LAWYER is the real DNC connection.

[OpusatFR]

Burkett's lawyer is a HUGE democrat fundraiser/operative.

How stupid does cBS think everyone is?

[pepperdog]

Oh sure, the file cleaners were so stupid that they threw the documents in a trash can and didn't shred them! Even Dem operatives aren't that stupid! This story just gets funnier and funnier, why don't they just give up, admit the docs are forgeries and apologize to the public. Then fire DR and promise to never again try to influence an election--okay I'm dreaming. Mrs PD

[Dick Vomer]

It's not whether or not the Democrats actually gave the memos to Rather but the "seriousness" of the charge that should be investigated.

I believe Mr. Rather's explanation about receiving the documents and the verification process that the 60 Minutes staff is held to.... what would make me think that they would lie.

It's not like Dan Rather has attended political rallies for Democrats.... or that his lovely daughter is active in Democratic party activities.... or that he'd lied about "important" things real mileposts in his life, like maybe..... finishing Marine Corp boot camp and claiming that he was a "Marine veteran". /sarcasm

[BoBToMatoE]

Yeah right, what ever.

Burkett + Barnes + DNC HQ 4.8 miles from Kinkos (has anyone confirmed that yet?)+ Fortunate son ad + talking points released quickly.

Yup. No DNC involvement there.

Anyone care to check out whos Mapes's DNC connection. She is the chick who did abu grahib (and didnt mention that the military had already been investigating it.. another situation where she forgot the facts of the story).

Mapes = DNC hit person.

[william clark]

... he saw Bush's file and documents from it discarded in a trash can.

I know that's how I always get rid of documents I want to disappear.

[mewzilla]

They're counting on Burkett not being charged with anything. If he is....
