Buckhead should change his user name or tagline to "post 47".

With all due respect and with no malisciousness, I think you are being snookered by Dan Rather.

Rather had this information for months , no way a man with his experience could not have known it was phony. IMO

Rather is complicit in a plot to destroy the President, he is no longer reporting news he is involved in Partisan politics. Which is fine for as long as you admit it, but when you report news as a neautral . and get paid by a news organisation to slant the news it isnt ethical.

...many, many Freepers were involved from the second Dan Rather held up those papers.

FReeping at its best.

Hardly hate. But when one decides to write, one ought not only to have but to USE pertinent facts.

Dan Rather is just a moron.
A technologically-challenged moron.

'Nuff said!

Dan Rather's journalism career is surely over.

Probably not.
Given his stature with The American (and International) Left,
he WILL get a job/position/title somewhere in the world of (guffaw!) "journalism".


AND some sort of "visiting scholar" position at multiple universities.

Che Guevara and Dan Rather:
The Similarity: Both suffering saints to Democrats, Socialists, Communists and Anarchists.
The Difference: One of them has actually assumed room temperature, despite the adulation.

I think you've misread my first complaint about the article: I'm not remotely against maligning Dan Rather, but I'm very much opposed to maligning Gunga Din (Gunga Dan?)--a noble, selfless gentleman--fictitious or not.

My understanding is that it was producer Mary Mapes, not Rather, who was in contact with the DNC.

Too bad FR can't retire Post Numbers like the Pros do with uniforms.

Sports uniform numbers are just labels. Post numbers are functional. It would really screw up programming the Free Republic website to eliminate particular numbers.

Check out this website. It is under construction, but someone has bought the URL post47.com.

He lied - and he was in on it. A partisan.

Dan Rather wasnt snookered, his arrogance made him think he could get away with it.

Yup. Worth repeating. And that's the classic definition of hubris -- the gods' weapon against human pride and frailty.

I think you've got it:

Dan Rather wasn't snookered, his arrogance made him think he could get away with it.
