Could the Rather Memogate be a planned diversion?

Posted on 09/10/2004 5:59:46 PM PDT by awakeandaware

I'm a first time poster but a long time lurker. I LOVE Free Republic. I'm just wondering if CBS is just trying to help Kerry change the focus to Bush's records instead of Kerry's. The longer the controversy continues about the memos, the longer the focus is off of Kerry. It's working! Maybe they don't care if the little people think they doctored documents as long as they accomplish their goal-protect Kerry.

Well, the documents are now offically and tremendously SUSPECT, but let's leave that aside for now. In the meantime, Kerry is known far and wide as a treasonous SOB whose castration is near complete, President Bush may have 'goofed around.'

I report, you decide!

By the way, isn't it great to watch the left flagellate itself into spasmodic prostration?

It is possible. But I discount it because JFK is the one being hurt by this. Heck even the whack jobs at indymedia are calling it a hoax. Most normal people do not have conspiracy theories to explain life. One maybe two steps up will be the consensus. First step was Dan Blather, second step will be the one most desperate to perpetuate this, JFK!!!!!
I know I saw the letterhead of a New York hospital on the back of a memo.
By the way, if you are not from Australia you be a TROLL!!!!!!!!!!!

Didn't hillary warn of an Oct surprize? Maybe it just hatched out earlier than she thought.

Or is it meant to demean the President so much to the point where a terrorist attack might occur in the near future and feed more of their hate onto the public onto the President????

I haven't seen the part where Bush gets bashed and every liberal I discuss the faked memo with wants to treat it like garlic to a vampire due to their shame.

We are all on the same page, and we are all correct.

They knew that they were on the defensive and it hurt them real bad.

This memo was a plant dsesigned to take the news OFF Kerry and on Bush.

Whoever is on the defensive gets hurt--that is the nature of today's politics.

Bush-Cheney MUST continue with finding ways to put the Kerry team on the defensive. Cheney had the Kerry camp by the throat. He should have never backed off that statement.

I agree mostly. The clear introduction of cBS onto the dnc/kerry forgery alliance this close to major election is helpful on display.The real work is deciding what part of America we are going to give up in order for these rather-like folk to live.They clearly want a leader and gov't with a different set of principals to lead them.

Kerry can't get the message off the Vietnam era.

If I were him, I belt McAwful. The second thing is this is a serious problem, a felony type problem if the documents presented are forgeries.

You do not forge military records PERIOD.

Rather had better start naming the sources for this or his name won't help him in jail. His producer, too, plus any honchos complicit.

#66. I am worried about this possibility, for one reason, tommorrow is 9/11.

The media's continual trashing of the President could be a diversion prior to an attack.

Looks like, fortunately, Bush IS continuing to point out the truth about Kerry:

Bush warns of 'tragedy' if US is weak in war on terror
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1212754/posts

"President George W. Bush warned on the eve of the anniversary of the September 11 strikes that the world would face new tragedy if the United States shows weakness in the war on terrorism. "

No, it doesn't work that way. The SUBJECT of the memos, after you cut through the crap, is VIETNAM. Any time Vietnam is brought up re: Kerry, it is a proxy for the WAR ON TERROR, and any time people hear "WAR ON TERROR" and "Bush" they think, "strong leader, gotta keep him in."

Kerry loses.

This is indeed a distraction . . . for Kerry.

Don't hold breath.The tie-ins to legal support and free "legal" help are so strong betwixt these type,he would have to be a mass-murdererer with blood on his hands to be held even a short time.He is an extremely useful idiot and worth perhaps millions to defend.There is a lot riding on the future and not all speaks.It justs parks the Mercedes in front of the mansion and reflects how their work that day goes so much further than any individual here in protecting their investment.

No doubt there is an element of this. That's why this needs to be blitzed, so that we can move on to the real issues, again.

Now there's some thinkers. Looking at the long game. I agree with your thoughts on this issue as they relate to looking beyond the moment.

In keeping with your comment regarding the old media vs. the new media, I have some occasional doubts. Even in view of the tremendous victory here by Free Republic regarding certain well known documents, thanks to several well respected members of Free Republic.

Over the last week, I have been making an attempt to get anyone, and I do mean anyone, interested in something that may be much bigger, but under-reported and apparently not previously connected, according to my own research.

The following links provide information relating to what is connected to whom, and how much money has transferred from one place to another. Think: Kerry. Tides Foundation(Heinz-Kerry), The Communist Party. The WWWP. ...and who is the front for what and where.

A large amount of money is also coming into these organizations from overseas in order to influence this current election. This makes Mr. Clinton and his Chinaman look like wannabe's.

...and follow the money: http://www.opensecrets.org/parties/index.asp

http://www.activistcash.com/

That is just for starters. The Tides Foundation is connected to moveon.org, is connected to Texans for Truth is connected to...

The Communist Party's verbal endorsement of the DNC is only one part of their endorsement. Follow the money.

Although many organizations and individuals, listed as contributors on these sites, claim no endorsement of the WWWP and the Communist Party, they have given, or fronted money to be given, to those parties and to their agendas.

It is the new media...but I often wonder if anyone is listening...

This one is more about Bush than Kerry, but answers questions concerning the President's NG service.

Did anyone notice or pay attention -- that the White House obtained copies of the memos from CBS, after the 60 Minutes So-Called Show -- and then the White House released same, to the public. Think about it. It means that the White House examined and then knew the memos were forgeries or doctored up papers -- ie, inserts added via a word processor. Thus, White House is doing the sensible thing -- let the perps hang themselves.....
Also -- one of the officers mentioned in one of the memos, a Capt. Staub, was not in office in 1973, had already retired, so he couldn't have written or said what the memos said he did.
