"Two wrongs don't make a right."

Roger Ailes and FOX should can him. Not doing so just gives the Left ammunition and potentially removes Rather as a legitimate issue with the public.

I agree that if the shoe was on the other foot we'd be demanding that the offender be hung. But I'd suspend Carl without pay for a couple of months and see if seeBS does the same with Rather. Put the ball in the other court.

Like you HAVE to give the left ammunition. They make their own. And any comparison with what Cameron did to what Rather did is ludicrous.

This is war, partner. We have been giving up our people every time the left whistles for sixty years. NO MORE.

Sorry, I disagree. Carl shouldn't be fired. He didn't report this on air. He didn't use fake documents. He didn't try to destroy anyone or alter an election. This (his report with added true comical comments)was accidentally posted on the Fox News website.

NASCAR went overboard with Dale Jr. Fine him for the profanity, but they shouldn't have taken points away.

Cameron should probably be fired, but there is no equating what Carl did to the CBS forged document scandal.

I don't think he should be fired for this.

This is what the Left does: they trump up some charge and then demand that the person be fired. However, they never behave the same way when it's one of their own. By my count, they've demanded the resignation of every Bush cabinet member so far except Powell -- I know they demanded Cheney resign, Rumsfeld resign, how many Treasury secretaries now, they've been after Rove and Card. They demanded Lott's resignation but stayed quiet about Dodd.

And the Republicans give in all the time. The time has come for the Republicans to play the same hardball back. The only reason that the Left makes these charges (true or not, of great importance or little importance) is that they know the Right will react.

It's time to just ignore the noise and moveon.
