Dan Rather: "powerful and extremely well-financed forces"

New York Observer ^

[akostenko]

Mr. Rather said that the focus on questions over the veracity of the memos was a smoke screen perpetrated by right-wing allies of the Bush administration.

"I think the public, even decent people who may be well-disposed toward President Bush, understand that powerful and extremely well-financed forces are concentrating on questions about the documents because they can’t deny the fundamental truth of the story," he said.

a true gentlman would never wear anything else.

Apart from Dan Rather and his fake documents, who else is supporting the story?

TMI!

Yes, it does. We're so influential that we don't *have* to get dressed and comb our hair.

[i_dont_chat]

We, The People = powerful and extremely well-financed forces.

[Dr.Deth]

Did he don the thrice-belled cap and harlequin suit for this reading? I can't picture it happening any other way.

Oh good grief. What a school yard sissy. Hells bells, the petty cash account for CBS probably far exceeds the yearly budget of FreeRepublic. What a girlieman.

"What happened to the CBS Thread for their update that keeps getting postponed?"

I think the original announcement for the update was read from a fake document. hehehe

I didn't even know I was rich until Clinton taxed my Social Security (Only the wealthiest 2 percent had a tax increase).

I sit here in my cloth-of-gold pajamas, lighting a thousand dollar cigar with a million dollar bill.

I'm a certified, card-carrying ELDER OF ZION and I didn't get my check yet. Sitting here in a wornout, faded oversize T shirt.

[lawgirl]

Stupid question- can you direct me to the pajamas reference? I am not getting it.

[Riley]

He says stuff like that because X% of the people that hear him say it will believe it. 'The Big Network Journalist said it, so it must be true'.

[Willgamer]

This seems to illuminate a dark corner of how deeply, pathologically the left believes it can define what truth is. Dan Rather "knows" what "evil" Bush is/does. Therefore any evidence, however generated, is "righteous" to support that belief.

IMHO a world-view reflecting hubris of mythic proportions!

Remember, facts are meaningless because only "the seriousness of the charge" is all that matters with the National Socialist Media.

"they can't deny the fundamental truth of the story"

Dan, I hate to break it to you. Bush's National Guard service 30 years ago is not a story. Not any day, even a slow news day.

YOU, Dan, you are the story. Using forged documents to make your case. Working with the Democratic Party to smear the opposition. Bias. Deception. Knowingly using phony documents and then defending your position after you're caught. You, Dan, are the story.

[vox_freedom]

Yep, we are certainly a Vast Right Wing Conspiracy alright. Well financed too. We have so much money we don't know what to do with it so we just go after trusted figures like Dan Blather and others in the Vast Left Wing Media. Yep, that's us.
These guys are such arrogant jerks they don't know up from down. No one -- except us -- holds them responsible and accountable for their lies and blatantly biased "reporting." I'll be glad to fiddle while CBSNBCABC et al burn into oblivion.
