Mr. Rather’s axe to grind isn’t so much political as personal. W’s Daddy humiliated him in an interview when Bush 41 was running for office. When Rather was trying to squeeze him about a subject he didn’t want to talk about, Bush turned the tables and reminded Rather that he would probably not want to talk about the 18 minutes of dead air when Rather walked off the set like some child throwing a fit. Rather was speechless….stunned…humiliated. He’s had a huge personal axe to grind since.

Mr. Rather is a journalistic joke. He will always be remembered for the jounalistic faulty documents,the inability to even collaborate the physical evidence with anything substantive and his inability to admit his mistake when confronted by multiple sources of the many jounalistic errors. The only thing left to be done is to design an award to be given to junior jounalists who are current and future jounalistic embarrassments in their professional field.

[...] Fauntroy to Tea Party Debate This will be a fun watch… IF the mouths have the guts to show Rather Still Claiming Bush Nat’l Guard Story Was True “Forged by accurate”… let it go, Dan Obama’s ‘pivot’ to the [...]

Talk about a “bitter clinger”.

Danny, Danny, Danny, we all know the moon is made of “Green Cheeze.”
Ya, need a hobby laddie.

Once the documents were proved to be forgeries — which happened within hours of the broadcast of the story based upon them — there was no need for President Bush or anyone close to him to issue a denial. That Dan Rather thinks otherwise proves that he is beneath contempt.

rather’s documents were not “faulty”, they were outright forgeries and rather bought into them without any checking because they fit his chosen narrative, thus destroying his credibility and career as a reporter/ journalist. that he still clings to this story beyond all hope is irrational and sad.

Mr. Rather’s career took off when he falsely reported that Texas schoolchildren cheered the assassination of JFK. It was an utter lie — one many were eager to hear — and his friends never called him to account for it. That he continues to cling to the false-but-accurate storyline only shows he’s delusional. His court case went nowhere (big surprise) and anyone who reads the internal CBS investigation of the incident that resulted in dismissals and retirements will conclude the whole story was bogus and Mr. Rather, befittingly, got put out to pasture. He’s an utter fraud.

Pathetic! Deep down he must have a conscience, so that he might get help, first in the area of denial, and then eventually, after much soul-searching, relieve his guilt through some sort of deep-felt public apology for his unprofessional behavior. He has gone the vain money route with all the lawyers and the courts, and has lost every attempt to extort money from the network, so that he has nothing to lose in seeking now to save his soul. There is no redemption without confession.

Rather is right! Any fool knows that Bush’s daddy got him out of serving in anything. Bush was and is a criminal and should be arrested for his crimes along with all the members of his administration.

The next thing you’ll hear from Rather is JFK was NOT a womanizer,Castro is NOT a communist,Clinton IS a Republican,BHO is NOT black,& Gore is NOT a liar. C’mon children,,,it’s CBS,,,what is there NOT to believe.

Typical of filth like “Danny Boy” (Liberals) to attack in such fashion. If you ever have a doubt about what is right or wrong in politics just ponder the following: The left has a strangle hold on the media, (TV, Newsprint, etc.) It has basically become the propaganda arm of the Democrat party. Given this fact, they still are only able to garner just over half of the popular vote. Imagine if we had equal coverage in the media. We’d never lose another election.

Instead of being put out to pasture, Dan Rather should have been stripped of his pension, stripped of all his journalistic rewards and the stories that he had published and presented to the american people investigated. All of those people who were injured by his stories should be allowed to file libel and slander suits against him…no statute of limitations as the wrongdoingd were just being brought to light.

One wonders whether or not his stories from Vietnam were real or fabricated.

He is a sick, demented, twisted old man who should just go, find a quiet corner and lay down and rot.
