Trump is inside the left's OODA loop.

What does that even mean? I don’t know from one day to the next what my own family members might do or say.

Surprise! Now Dan Rather Publishes 'Fake News' About Himself

http://mobile.wnd.com/2017/04/dan-rather-publishes-fake-news-about-himself/

Dan Rather, who famously quit his post as the anchor for “CBS Evening News” in 2004 after airing “fake news” about President George W. Bush, has been caught up in another episode.

This time it’s about his 2012 book, “Rather Outspoken: My Life in the News,” which features an image of Rather as a Marine.

Dan Rather as a "Marine" image appears several places online, credited with being provided by Dan Rather

Rather apparently supplied the image to the publisher, which shows him in Marine dress blues and the famous white saucer cap, with the caption, “As a young Marine.”

Only he wasn’t.

He washed out of boot camp while trying to become a Marine.

The story is explained in a document posted online by the blog MilitaryCorruption.com.

In the book, the blog explains, “the then 81-year-old liberal icon and disgraced former CBS anchorman didn’t say word one about the Corps in the text, but shockingly in the photos section, there was a headshot of a smiling, young Dan wearing Marine dress blues, including the famed white saucer cap, with the caption, ‘As a young Marine.’

“such an unrelenting campaign against the press”

Liberalism is truly a mental disorder.

[RedMonqey]

Ha!

Define “normal”, Kenneth!

In this day and age Trump would have to cut off his manhood and put on a dress to be considered “normal”

Stop yer microaggressiions and putting yer “norms” on the rest of us.

[4Liberty]

Dear Dan,
We don’t want “normal.”

[Bigg Red]

Dan Rather? Is he still alive?

[Chickensoup]

He doesn’t obey the deep state?

How wonderful!

[HamiltonJay]

This from a guy who’s got fired for fake news the. Defended it by saying the facts were wrong but the story was right?

Go home Dan, you’re drunk

[Vaduz]

Come on Rather tell what the frequency is.

[Titus-Maximus]

This professional liar is now the self appointed arbiter of “normal” behavior?

[MS.BEHAVIN]

Can’t take credit for this, but I LOVE it:

Rather biased
Rather liberal
Rather strange

Read it here, so it was probably a Freeper!

[Robert357]

I suggest that Dan read more about Andrew Jackson and Teddy Roosevelt histories while President. Jackson was not a Washington inside enjoyed caning people, threw non-politically correct parties and pushed back when challenged.

[AmusedBystander]

Einstein wasn’t “normal” either, Dan.

[Jimmy Valentine]

Dan Rather trying to crawl back to relevance. Fake but accurate you putz.

[justa-hairyape]

To a lying scumbag like Dan Rather, a president who actually tries to implement his campaign promises, is abnormal.

"'We’ve never had one that steadily, out of his own mouth, waged such an unrelenting campaign against the press,' he said."

Oh, really???

Well, of course, Dan Rather probably never read that great advocate for a free press who, nevertheless, had these things to say about dishonest and partisan so-called journalists:

The mainstream press, as they are called, along with Progressive politicians, may have passed the point described by Thomas Jefferson in the following words:

"Nothing is so mistaken as the supposition, that a person is to extricate himself from a difficulty, by intrigue, by chicanery, by dissimulation, by trimming, by an untruth, by an injustice. This increases the difficulties ten fold; and those who pursue these methods, get themselves so involved at length, that they can turn no way but their infamy becomes more exposed. It is of great importance to set a resolution, not to be shaken, never to tell an untruth. There is no vice so mean, so pitiful, so contemptible; and he who permits himself to tell a lie once, finds it much easier to do it a second and third time, till at length it becomes habitual; he tells lies without attending to it, and truths without the world’s believing him. This falsehood of the tongue leads to that of the heart, and in time depraves all its good dispositions." - See "Letter to Peter Carr, August 19, 1785," in Thomas Jefferson: Writings (New York: The Library of America, 1984), pp. 814-815.

". . . he tells lies without attending to it, and truths without the world's believing him." - Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson's views on the importance of a free press are well known. Nevertheless, Jefferson was well aware of the dark under belly of a segment of the press which might set itself up, as he called it, "to serve the ministers" of a "despotic government."

Note that in the last of the following quotations on the subject, Jefferson noted, "But the fact being once established, that the press is impotent when it abandons itself to falsehood," he declared, "I leave to others to restore it to its strength by recalling it within the pale of truth."

"[A despotic] government always [keeps] a kind of standing army of newswriters who, without any regard to truth or to what should be like truth, [invent] and put into the papers whatever might serve the ministers. This suffices with the mass of the people who have no means of distinguishing the false from the true paragraphs of a newspaper." --Thomas Jefferson to G. K. van Hogendorp, Oct. 13, 1785. (*) ME 5:181, Papers 8:632

"[I have seen] repeated instances of the publication of what has not been intended for the public eye, and the malignity with which political enemies torture every sentence from me into meanings imagined by their own wickedness only... Not fearing these political bull-dogs, I yet avoid putting myself in the way of being baited by them, and do not wish to volunteer away that portion of tranquillity, which a firm execution of my duties will permit me to enjoy." --Thomas Jefferson to John Norvell, 1807. ME 11:226

"Conscious that there was not a truth on earth which I feared should be known, I have lent myself willingly as the subject of a great experiment, which was to prove that an administration, conducting itself with integrity and common understanding, cannot be battered down even by the falsehoods of a licentious press, and consequently still less by the press as restrained within the legal and wholesome limits of truth. This experiment was wanting for the world to demonstrate the falsehood of the pretext that freedom of the press is incompatible with orderly government. I have never, therefore, even contradicted the thousands of calumnies so industriously propagated against myself. But the fact being once established, that the press is impotent when it abandons itself to falsehood, I leave to others to restore it to its strength by recalling it within the pale of truth. Within that, it is a noble institution, equally the friend of science and of civil liberty." --Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Seymour, 1807. ME 11:155

No leader is “normal.” A norm is what is usually done. Leaders see a better way and lead people towards it.
