WHY ARE WE STILL TALKING ABOUT THIS? Audacity, Pres, Mooch, Dan......
After the soft debate I pray Hillary does not become presdient. It really seems like the book 1984.
Hey my niece and newphew read the book in HS like I did, they are still ultra brain washed.
What book did they read?
Ah, but the documents, that’s, that’s where I had them, they laughed at me and made jokes, but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt, and with geometric logic, that proportional font typewriters did exist, and I’ve had produced that typewriter if they hadn’t pulled me out of action. I, I know now they were only trying to protect some fellow Freeper. … Naturally, I can only cover these things from memory.
Oh, the irony.
The only problem: they didn’t do a very good job of “rewriting history” otherwise they wouldn’t have gotten caught.
This is eerily reminiscent of George Orwell's novel "1984".
Dan Rather represents a mind set that prevails within the mass media. I include Canada in this.
In 1963, the news of the tragic and mindless assassination of President Kennedy was broadcast. Rather proclaimed that such was the hate in Dallas Texas, even grade schoolers were culpable of this kind of hate.
He said when the news of the JFK death was announced in a local school, the kids cheered this. The local news boss, a Mr. Barker forbade the news Johnnies to run with it, until further clarification. They broadcast Rather's statement anyway. Barker stormed into the news room and castigated them.
What actually happened was that a school principle, wise man that he was, decided on this course. This when the sad news was known. He came in to the assemble kids and said we are closing down the school today for a special reason. You can all go home early. The kids cheered.
Even as late as 2011 on a talk show with one Ed Shultz, a liberal lefty repeated the Rather statement. The subject was "hate".
Sorry guys..Rather is right..here is the actual memo..
I just hope Dan can forgive FR.../s
well I suppose he can’t go on TV and admit it was all made-up BS now, can he?
How could Dan Rather know that it is true? He had no hand in finding it nor did he authenticate it. He took someone else’s word for it.
“How could Dan Rather know that it is true? He had no hand in finding it nor did he authenticate it. He took someone else’s word for it.”
He knows it is true because it furthers the agenda of the left.
That is his definition of the “truth”.
“Where did that lead? Maybe to the Kerry campaign, who knows?”
I think the moment they got the fake memos and made up story was right when they dumped Howard Dean (calling his war whoop a “demented scream”) and Kerry started getting all the attention. I’m guessing that they though they had a secret weapon.
By titling the movie "Truth."
Below, my red 2003 Word memo over the black "1973" memo--proving forgery when Rather hyped it in 2004.George Orwell in Prevention of Literature, 1946, addressed Ratherite revisionism which inspired 1984:
A totalitarian state is in effect a theocracy, and its ruling caste, in order to keep its position, has to be thought of as infallible. But since, in practice, no one is infallible, it is frequently necessary to rearrange past events in order to show that this or that mistake was not made, or that this or that imaginary triumph actually happened.
iirc it was after the fall of Dean that JFK started his focus on his Nam service, which would dovetail with the fake memo story.
Trying to be fair. I did some research on that day in Dallas when JFK was shot by Oswald. It seems that a Methodist minister who was a liberal and Kennedy supporter was with Rather in the studio. He made a statement about the kids cheering when they heard JFK was shot. Rather had already been appraised of the dubiousness of this, by a Mr. Barker the media owner. Rather was with the minister and they ran with the story.
Two sources claim Rather also made the statement. Pretty hard to confirm whether he did or not. He was party to it however.
Dan Rathernot doesn’t understand that manufacturing fraudulent docs to back up a story, even if the story is true taints that story. But his hatred for the Bush family blinds him to reality.
The birth certificate?
