August 25, 2004 Bill Burkett wrote a commentary: "Bush lies abour his service, smears Kerry's and seeks exoneration for the Abu Ghraib brass" for the ONLINE JOURNAL.
In this four page document Mr. Burkett states:
"George W. Bush, you may be the president(sic). But I know you lied.
I know from your files that WE HAVE NOW REASSEMBLED."

"I did not realize Mr Burkett was helpful to Michael Moore!"
So, there's a nest of DemRATS in Texas that includes the daughter of Dan Rather. And the producer of his show (Mapes?) just happens to be (from what I have been able to pick up) the same person to whom Hackworth gave the Abu Graihb prison photo's...which I always believed and still believe to this day, were STAGED (although humiliated, the victims were NOT tortured) and Burkett, as an 'expert' (?) worked for Michael Moore's production company; which reminds me that Moore's film at its first showing (before Cannes) featured prison abuse photographs before they were released to the media...by whom? Mapes? And why is it important now that Moore interviewed Nick Berg BEFORE Nick went to Iraq...but his father, to whom Michael Moore said he gave the video of the interview won't release it; WHY? And ain't it funny that Farenheit9/11 is a FRAUD all the way through just as the Memo's are FORGERIES...It's all becoming quite clear to this Aussie. There is a common thread, I'm NOT crazy. The DemoCRATS as a political party are DANGEROUS!
>>>>>Wasn't Burkett the guy who wrote "Stolen Valor"?<<<<<
I think there are two Burkett's in the news now. One who wrote the book and this guy in Texas, the ex-NG member.
Thanks for straightening me out on ANG/NG regarding Burkett. However, I still think he was set up to be the Fall Guy. Then again, he is a kook.
CBS won't be intimidated. The rest of the whores are whores. And if it's a real investigation, the truth will out. And the truth ain't good for George.*
[You want the truth? I'LL GIVE YOU THE TRUTH!!! KARL ROVE forged those documents and then secretly flew to Abilene, Texas to fax them to CBS from a Kinkos in a grand scheme to discredit Dan Rather. Oh, and Halliburton paid for his plane ticket.]
It's hard even for the well-informed to separate the real news from the spin, the important news from the crap. I'm sorry, what was your question?
[Did your brain live thru birth?]
If Kerry loses, I predict a HUGE and VERY angry examination of our "Democratic" "leaders."
[And don't forget to give a full rectal exam to Dan Rather.]
Liberals need to get together and do something about this. Start from the ground up and revive those old journalistic standards.
[Yeah. Damn it to hell! I say it is an outrage when a responsible journalist like Dan Rather can't use forged documents without being criticized. We need to go back to the pre-Internet old journalistic standards where forgery is not condemned by those rightwing pajama wearing computer geeks.]
CBS should turn this around find out who duped them, and run them through the griller at this point what do they have to lose???????????????
[Answer: Their minds. Then they can join you at the Happy Land DUmmie FUnnie Farm.]
Let's show our support for Dan Rather's courageous journalism on the AWOL story by watching CBS Evening News!
[Yeah. Using forged documents in a TV report takes real guts.]
You know the freepers want to silence him...
[And miss out on a great comedy act?]
I am sending e mails of support every couple of days. I think they know why this is happening and I don't think they will stop because of it either. I think they made this decision a long time ago but still it helps to support them every chance we get.
["Dear Dan Rather---Thank you for having the courage to use forged documents. If we ever meet I would love to stick my head up your ass and SQUEAL in delight."]
if the DU community has been supporting Dan, isn't it logical that like minded communties do the same? we are not the only group hungry for the truth. and there ARE several such groups out there.
[Yes. Check out the Association of the Sanity-Challenged.]
never gave much thought to CBS news before, and was really pissed when they passed on the Raygun movie, but now they represent the absolute best chance for reinserting integrity and truth into the Amazing Right Wing Media Spin Machine. (In other words-dirty, lousy, cheneying liars)
[Dirty lousy, cheneying forgers.]
The puggies have it sewn up. Prolly * in a massive landslide. I'm thinking 60/38 or worse. Kerry probably won't even get NY. It's a disaster.
[Your disgusting display of rationality is enough to get you suspended from this DUmmie Board.]
as always with the bushes, when they can't attack the message they attack the messenger.
[And the forge faxer. Or is it fax forger?]
From Burkett...
"I know from your files that we have now reassembled, the fact that you did not fulfill your oath, taken when you were commissioned to "obey the orders of the officers appointed over you"."
I'd like to know who WE is? He uses I throughout the post, but for that sentence he uses WE. Could it be Barnes or someone from the Travis County Dem machine?
Does anyone know if Bill Burkett has a wife and if she works for teh San Antonio Express-News?
He could be using the "Royal" we, orhe could be including the VOICES IN HIS HEAD!
Killian's son was on Hannity today and he said that he has asked other Guardsman in Texas about this guy, and he says this guy was working on the Bush election campaign in the 1990's and Karen Hughes kicked him off of it. Ever since then, he's been after Bush and Hughes, and everyone else from the Governor days. First time I heard that, but it explains a lot.
Mercy!
"It's Bur-KAY!"
Doncha just love Hyacinth?
He co-wrote Stolen Valor with Glenna Whitley. I find it interesting that the subtitle to my ex-copy of the book (it's soon going to decorate the inside of File 13 along with some cat litter) is "How the Vietnam Generation Was Robbed of Its Heroes and Its History."
Mr. Burkett, YOU are attempting to rob my President of his honor and reputation and standing with the American people with this little escapade. You are also trying to place a permanent stain on the history of this basically good man, thereby ROBBING him of HIS history.
Oh that's right, there's one standard for Democrats and one for us peasants who need warm milk, pacifiers and slave chains from the DNC Lie-a-Minute machine. Gee, thanks for reminding me of that.
Chris Matthews just called Burkett delusional...this along with the IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) looks he displayed during Kitty Kelly...I think he's about to give it up for this election cycle
Would that debilitating disease be a STD?
It appears there are once again people in the so called democrat party who need to go to prison. Will they this time? NO.
ping
Now it is clear!!! The WE is Burkett and Kenneth! And it is the Kinko's frequency!!
"This could explain his unreasonable adherence to this story"
May be wrong, but IMHO
This weird position Rather and CBS now find themselves in can no longer be rationalized from the simple contention they still believe in the validity of the documents, it has gone far beyond that. With CBS, it is we are right, and the entire known world is wrong.
At this point, to admit memos are forgeries, they have, and I mean have, to expose their source. Once the source is outed, criminal legal problems will quickly take a giagantic quantum leap forward.
The source then turns onto CBS & Rather and rats them out, they will be shown complicit in a criminal conspiracy, witness tampering, etc., etc. CBS now finds themselves in an untenable position with no good options as to avenues of escape. This cannot have a good end for CBS and Rather, no matter what action they now choose, it will be disastrous.
The civil trials will make CBS's bottom line drop like a rock. Killian's son and his widow are going to be very wealthy people at some future date, and that is only one settlement,
Michael Moore's next movie is going to be called TANG 111.
You, sir, have a devious mind - I like it!
