And all you lurkers out there, PLEASE credit Free Republic for anything you steal from here tonight! :-)
Sounds like a plan to me.
VCR is at the ready.
There's a cancer growing on the network.
Wouldn't this woman's views be considered hearsay?
I can't find a dang thing on here lately.
*Sigh*
Does she look like everyone's idea of the sweet darling grandmother who would never lie?
Hey Howlin...
Ok ya'll help me out here.....
1.I was A Naval Aviator back in the '60s.
2. Back then being on flying status was Volunteer Duty
You could resign your flight ststus at anytime
no one could order you to fly.
3. A flight physical was a prerequisite to maintaining your
flying status.
4. I do not recall ever being ORDERED to take my
physical ..only a memo "Reminding you that your
were in the final month of validity
5. Failure to take your physical would remove you from flying Status until you complied
The punishment was loss of flying pay, and you prob. careered yourself but you couldn't be made to volunteer
Question.....is this the same in the USAF/ANG?
How can you disobey a order that leagally cant be given???
...;)
Howlin, thanks for the ping. And for any newbies who don't know it yet, Howlin's a GIRL!! ;-)
Too late.
Well, I just give up; there's another live thread up.
I called to demand that they do a story on Kerry's phony report that did not include the dead baby. He transferred me to a number that told me to call during business hours. Does anyone want to call that number above?
Seriously my humble take on this is that even is the documents are forged it is the press's duty to stay on story which are the multitude of lies in GW Bush's military record. If this 86 year old grandma goes on and on about how she recalls waht a rule breaKER, SLACK OFF, AWOL DRUNK NO SHOW HE WAS --ONCE AGAIN THE WH HAS A PROBLEM. Not every independent or fence sitter is going to suck this up and blame Dan Rather...
why couldn't the documents be forgeries? Rovian attempt to get Rather Compared to the rest of the presstitutes, Rather has become a bit of a thorn in the side of the Bushies. Sixty Minutes has also been out in front of the herd of lapdogs. Why WOULDN'T a Rove type set a trap, with faked documents, to try to snare Rather?
I yelled at Dan saying, "Dan, you are my HERO!!!!!!!!!!!
Sure hope Dan-the-Man lobs a THUTH grenade into the whoring cabal of scum
I hope ALL the media in this country is watching this unfold. Dan Rather is giving them a lesson on what reporting is supposed to be.
I am now officially in love with Dan Rather.
If CBS had backed down in the face of intimidation, the bullies would be crawling all over the network's corpse now, and we Democrats would have made another crucial tactical error. We have to defend the truth, even if it is a minor truth. If we give in to bullying, we've lost.
Here's the email I sent: Thank you, Dan Rather, for being one of the last true journalists of courage and integrity remaining on the planet! Those of us who still value Truth over Propaganda respect and applaud you! Please, oh please, continue your efforts and set the example for your fellow "journalists" who routinely cede to the pressures of the Bush Administration and become complicit in spreading their lies and obfuscations. You, sir, are a true Hero! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Way to go Dan, my respect for this man just keeps growing. I just hope he really has the goods. I suspect he does, but man if he doesn't.......
I have two things to say: 1. Thank you, Mr. Rather; and.... 2. Have you no shame, Mr. Bush? Just answer the questions.
I get the feeling Dan has lived for this moment for years now, he's kept rather quiet, careful not to rock the boat too much. For the last five years, people have wondered, why is he still hanging on. Sometimes he looked so tired. But now, when American is at her darkest hour, Dan is taking off the mask and putting his cards on the table. He knows more sh*t about this cabal, then most of us put together. He has been there since the beginning and he has seen it all.
Could CBS have the originals as well? Maybe they were hoping bush would deny the charges and then they could present the real docs and REALLY hang his ass? This gets more and more strange...yesterday I thought it was a Rove's trick but CBS is not backing down so they must have something to back themselves up. Frankly it looks like they want to force bush co into a courtroom or congressional hearing????
I want Dan Rather to unleash the fury NOW!!!!
The documents could be true in content but unauthentic from the standpoint that they are not the original documents and have been reproduced.
Oh ok .. I'll watch
