Some of the people who attacked me and CBS acted, sadly, like 14 year old boys who had broken into their parents' liquor cabinet. Angry and drunk with power. That is unfair, unproductive and un-American.

Stop questioning my patriotism!

This wouldn't even be a story if Mary Mapes had had a story to begin with. THEY DROPPED THE STORY. Why anyone is even paying any attention to this lunatic is beyond me.

[notfornothing]

Wow, just....wow.

What we are seeing here is the Left's version of snake handling, faith healing religious fundamentalism. Like the extreme religious fundies, Mapes wants to believe this story so badly that she has wilfully suspended all reason.

WHO CARES! I thought that Bill Clinton established that what happened 20 years ago isn't news and doesn't matter -- not illegal land deals, not illegal kickbacks via the commodity market, not draft dodging, not sexual harassment, not even rape! What Mapes needs to be asked is why this story even mattered.

In New Jersey, we just elected a governor that not only gifted over $400,000 to the head of the state's largest labor union but also gave her a bracelet worth more than $100,000 and apparently payed her taxes on them, too. No, no story there. But Bush's 30 year old TANG records rate a 60 minutes treatment. Morons.

Ever notice that when a liberal writes a book that has the word "Truth" in it, they are lying their asses off?

Truth and Duty: The Press, The President, and the Privilege of Power" by Mary Mapes

The Politics of Truth: Inside the Lies that Led to War and Betrayed My Wife's CIA Identity: A Diplomat's Memoir by Joseph Wilson

Torture and Truth: America, Abu Ghraib, and the War on Terror by Mark Danner

The War On Truth: 9/11, Disinformation And The Anatomy Of Terrorism by Nafeez Mosaddeq A War Against Truth : An Intimate Account of the Invasion of Iraq by Paul William Roberts

Mapes is on Cavuto now.

Question to Mary: "For the sake of argument let's say you actually did have evidence that George Bush got preferential treatment in the NG during the VN war. So what? What relevance does it have now? Is it really any different than the preferential treatment Algore got in VN by virtue of his father the Senator?"

"I mean, how many soldiers took to the field without a magazine in their M16? For that matter, how many soldiers assigned as Public Affairs Officers go into the field?"

From Snopes.com:

Of the suggestion that Gore used political connections to ensure a non-combat position as an "information specialist," biographer Bill Turque wrote:

. . . there is no hard evidence that Gore's father, other government officials, or top commanders intervened on his behalf.

THERE'S NO EVIDENCE THAT THEY DIDN'T! IS THERE?

[doesnt suffer fools gladly]

Mapes was on Neil Cavuto today and was very combative. Neil didn't fight back hard, like thought he would.

This goes back to the BOR interview with Michael Moore. That's where I came to understand that liberalism really is a mental disorder.

Moore stated, beyond a shadow of a doubt that there was no difference between being wrong and lying. He stated that, flat out, and when BOR tried over and over again to get him to restate his assertion, Moore absolutely refused, and asserted again and again, that there is no difference between being wrong and telling a lie.

Since there is nothing wrong with being wrong (as long as you try to find the correct answer), and being wrong is the same as telling an intentional lie, according to leftists, there's nothing wrong with lying.
