Dan (Rather) Wants Second Go At Bush! (Still Insists Memogate Story Is True!)
New Yoork Post ^ | Don Kaplan

Posted on 09/28/2005 5:59:23 AM PDT by MindBender26

September 28, 2005 -- DAN Rather wants to reopen the investigation into President Bush and the National Guard story that resulted in the Memogate scandal and led to his early departure from the anchor desk. But his bosses at CBS have forbidden him to go back at it, he said.

"CBS News doesn't want me to do that story," Rather said. "They wouldn't let me do that story,"

Rather continues to insist that the story was correct and suggested in the interview that he and the network may have been set up by some outsider.

"There are some strange, and to me, still mysterious things," he said. "Certainly unexplained things that happened about how it got attacked and why, even before the program was over," Rather said.

The report, delivered by Rather last September, was discredited two weeks later after drawing fire, first from politically conservative Web logs and later from mainstream media.

"I believed in the story," Rather said. "The facts of the story were correct.

"One supporting pillar of the story, albeit an important one, one supporting pillar was brought into question," he said. "To this day, no one has proven whether it was what it purported to be or not."

Dan failed to complete the mission...now the liberal minions will never let him live in peace...that dumb*ss from Texas was again elected President. You are a complete and utter failure Mr Rather. The entire world was watching and you blew it. Hope that makes ya feel real good, ya screw-up! (/sarc)

No, dear friends, no. Dan Rather does not want to reopen the investigation.

He's merely ACTING as though he does, in order to help rewrite his bio (which currently concludes something like... resigned in disgrace after being caught red handed incorporating forged documents to try to influence a national election.

How does Dan Rather try to recover his fallen image? (get ready to chuckle). By lying, of course.

Dan rather is no friend of FR or conservatives. Anybody that would take up for this goofball or his feloow democrat butt-kissers Brokaw, Jennings or their type needs to have his or her head examined.

If Rather had his way, John Kerry would be President.Fr would be shut down and people like myself would be in the gulag instead of here at the computer typing this post.

I would hope that those who would like at Dan Rather or his kind as heroes would keep these things in mind. You do not want to applaud, hold up in high regard or cheer or butt-kiss Rather or people of his kind. Not if you want to be on my good side.

Rather is insane. Purely off his rocker and incapable of knowing truth from fiction.

Hey Dan, what's the frequency, Kenneth?


That should be what's carved on his tombstone.

I think it's time we found out who PREPARED the forgeries? What was CBS's ties to the Kerry campaign? Bring it Rather.

I can't remember the name, but we already know who prepared the forgeries; the demented (and unfortunately Texan, the traitor) Bush hater!

Burkett was the idiot who provided the forgeries to CBS. Who prepared them? I doubt it was that idiot.

The thing that bothers the liberal, biased, MSM, the most; Is the FACT that that Freepers expose their lies for Free!

They may hate Rush for what he says, but, they respect the cash He earns in doing it.
Bloggers expose their lies as a public service, they just can't deal with that.

I would not like to falsely accuse anyone, but I have my suspicions and George Soros and his puppets come to mind.

Love what the Bible has to say about Dan Rather and his ilk.

Ezekiel 18:24 But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die.

'Course ole Dan, he was a liar from day 1.

Was near a radio tonight, and NPR was doing a "report" on that show.

Some lamebrain came on and said that a "blog" called Free Republic, which is run by an "active duty Air Force" person first seized on it, and then another blog called "Buckhead" picked it up...

Sorry, didn't hear the rest. I was laughing too loudly.

If that's the opposition, there's room for optimism.

Yeah, but those stories are true. At least they should be, and I, for one, believe the first one.
