CBS Rather gives excellent tribute to Smokin' soldier...
CBS News ^ | Nov 10, 2004

Posted on 11/10/2004 8:46:46 PM PST by TomGuy

Someone posted a thread about Dan Rather but didn't have a good link.

I think this is the link to the video.

Rather gives an excellent tribute to the Smokin' soldier pic that has been circulating recently.

Video is worth watching.

Dan Rather...? Dan Rather...? Golly...that name rings a bell. Didn't he used to be a reporter or something like that?

(snicker, snicker...:-)

I was surprised that he didn't start into a rant about how irresponsible it is to show front page photos of someone smoking.

Dan seemed to choke up there. Did someone give him patriotic pills?

Do not fall for it folks! Rather is tanking and is will use anything to attempt to resurrect himself. Little late for him to be acting like he really give a rats ass about our soldiers.

He just trying to mend for his recent screw ups. He can turn it on and off with the best of them. He's fake.

Rather's wasting his time. What he is has already been recorded.

Every school child in America should be shown the picture??? Alright, it's a nice picture, but Rather is still clearly losing it.

He is finally releasing some emotion from not being able to change the election.

Maybe there was some agenda, but I thought it was a nicely done tribute. In fairness, perhaps those of us (myself included) who make our outrage known to CBS when Rather is up to his old tricks might want to acknowledge this as well.

I did.

Nice tribute but what does Dan Rather know about "loyalty" to this country? He has on more than one occasion tried to bring down a President of this country.

Kudos to Dan, for whatever reason he did this, it was a GREAT TRIBUTE! While I have no doubt that he hates Republicans, Rather is originally a southerner, and I wouldn't be surprised if he truly felt this way about the American Soldier.
