60 Minutes should be canned and Dan Rather FIRED immediately. Then SwiftVets get 1 hour for every week until the election.

On this thread --- HUGH HEWITT REQUESTS THREAD, I beat you by 50 seconds saying that Rather should be forced to resign. I am warning you, don't try to phony it up with an old Remington typewriter to claim you beat me. :)

I am willing to bet $50 bucks right now that Blather-boy is going to announce his retirement for "health reasons" or some similar excuse within the next 48 hours.

Any takers?

The punishment should fit he crime.

Abuse of the first amendment to defraud the electorate is criminal.

All CBS hat aired his deception affiliates should have very stiff FCC fines imposed. Individuals in the decision chain to produce and air this document should face criminal charges.

60 Minutes stands by their report. Let's see, what else could they do? Fire the idiots who forged this stuff? Heads should roll, obviously. This forgery is unbelievably dumb. No time to find an old typewriter, which could be traced, so just type it out on a computer. They could say that the original documents were damaged or lost in a fire, but luckily, they'd written down the info. Fearing they wouldn't be believed, they quickly recopied everything on a computer. So CBS could say the contents are real, just forget that they're forged. Let's run that up the flagpole and see who salutes.

Unfortunately for CBS and Kerry, not only are the documents obviously forged, Killian's son says they're phony and that no one in the military would keep them hidden...you'd be crazy to pull a stunt like that. It's a blatant, vicious pack of lies. But when you listen to Gore and Edwards and Kerry and TerAYsa, it's major mud slinging every day. PLus the surrogates, Harkin, Susan Estrich, etc. Hill, Bill, Geraldine Ferraro, Cuomo, Fat Teddy, et al..

This forgery could be the brainchild of the Clintonistas, hired to head up Kerry's staff last weekend. Maybe a clever trick to sink Kerry. Hmmm. Just a thought.

Fox ran a video of Kerry and his pals filmed in '71 or '73, when Kerry's group coached people to go in front of congress and lie. They're shown laughing and cooking up phony accounts of widespread Vietnam atrocities. I guess we won't see that on CBS.
