[Congressman Billybob]

This is the RatherBiased write-up of this story, which offers more damning details on the latest public fraud by Dan Rather. Rather/CBS are like a really stupid bank robber who's out on bail for one robbery, and goes back to the same bank to have another go at it.

I don't know what adjective works best with CBS- sad or pathetic? I'll just go with deplorable.

BUMP ... the Mainstream Media have been BASHING VETERANS since 1969.

[booksaver]

I think this is the part of the propaganda that is most frightening to people: That their daughters will be drafted. But I really don't believe this will scare people into voting for Kerry.

[Stateline]

I am not surprised...why should Dan stop telling lies now....Hell, Dan....Go for broke........

Excellent!

Another blatant attempt to influence the election - going after the youth and women votes that they see slipping away.
Bush needs to do a tough ad that tells what he has said - that they do not WANT a draft, that a volunteer military is much better - people who are there because they chose to be. Indeed, Bush want to even do away with the 'register at 18' and purge the current registered list. NO DRAFT UNDER BUSH>
There are 2 bills currently sponsored for the draft . The senate one bill S-89, sponsored by Se. Hollings - DEMOCRAT - with no sponsors.
And bill H.R.163 - sponsored by Se. Rangel, DEMOCRAT with 14 sponsors, ALL democrat.
Who's finagling for the draft?
Rangel actually thinks a voluntary military is RACIST! (his rationale? Proportionately more "poor" blacks sign up that rich whites!!! Does the word "convoluted" come to mind.
Rather's piece tonight is another blatant, knowingly false, deliberator misleading attempt at influencing an election! That he and CBS still dare to pull such a stunt should tell us all that they have powerful friend in high places. They know they, unlike any republican who sneezed the wrong way, will not be held accountable.

I would vote for Howdie Doody if I thought it would keep my boys home and safe.

We are not safe at home. 9-11 proved that.

[zeaal]

I knew it, I knew it, I knew it ... have been waiting for the time the Kerry Campaign would find a news outlet for the Draft story. They found an alliance with MTV to get the word out. Again, neglecting to tell the viewers that it is the dems that has proposed legislation for the draft. You can bet you know who will bring this up in the debate Thursday.

BUSH CAMPAIGN are you paying attention to this matter?

[SmellsLikeOwen]

Talk about something making you sick to your stomach!

But I want to know something. Where is our Republican Leadership on this? This is really starting to annoy me. Yeah, there are some people with good intentions, but good intentions don't get you anywhere if you don't have the sack to do something with those intentions! On several of these false rumors spread by the dims, I've heard people ask why President Bush hasn't went to the MSM and attacked these rumors? I'm asking, where are our Republican Leaders in the House and Senate and why aren't they attacking these things? Why should Bush have to go out there and dispel all of this crap? Where are they? Are they on the same freakin' team or not?? If the dims are sponsoring both of these bills then they should come out like a pack of wolves with the paperwork and shove it into the camera! They should stick it in front of the camera and RIP out some demorat throat for rumors they themselves are creating! Anyone of those guys/gals could call a press conference at anytime, and I'm waiting to somebody to grow a set of rocks and do it! This is an election year and they should be defending this President right and left! President Bush has a lot going on right now and he shouldn't always be left to do the dirty work! They're part of this party as well and defending it is their JOB as well, not just Bush! President Bush has remain rock solid through a lot of personal and political attacks, and people respect him for standing tough and not wavering when confronted with these things. The rest of the team in Washington should take the hint! Grow some stones, stand up and fight, don't be pushed around and people will respect and admire you for it. They're part of the same team and they need to get out of the locker room and onto the field! K, I'm done with my rant.

Cheers!

We also need to rattle the chains of our Senators and Congressmen - let them know "We are mad as Zell and we're not going to take it anymore."
Let them know we know the 2 pro-draft bills and ALL their sponsors are democrats. Call - email, snail mail and HOLLER!
They're up for election too - and they care about their own skin more'n Kerry's.
make a noise - be silent no more.
We are at war here on the home front too. We are the soldiers, fighting a very real war - and if we lose, we'd better have a place deep in the woods to hunker down.
You senators and Congressmen have toll free numbers - both at home offices and at statehouses. Call, call, call. write letters.and email - do all 3.

Let's examine this for a second. CBS right now has put out two known blantantly false stories, that can only lead to two conclusions:

CBS is either pushing known false stories, or they are irresponsibly shirking. The questions are, who is going to hold CBS responsible for their failures and what will happen to those promoting these false stories?

NOTHING or certainly not enough!

In the Beginning was The Lie. And The Lie was with The Left. And The Lie was The Left.

And The Lie was brought unto the places wherein dwelled The Sheep. And The Sheep beheld The Lie, and saw that it was good; and The Sheep proclaimed, "Here is the truth, revealed unto us!"

And The Sheep believed The Lie, and they followed The Lie, and The Left, for they were and are, as one.

For The Sheep shall always believe The Left.

[sarasota]

Ping. Let's get 'em with emails!

[Sleeping Freeper]

I found this on Michelle Malkin's Website. With Dan Rather on board, it must be an orchestrated effort by the Dems to scare folks to Kerry.

Schlesinger did not disclose that Cocco is a chapter president of an advocacy group called People Against the Draft (PAD) which, in addition to opposing any federal conscriptions, seeks to establish a "peaceful, rational foreign policy" by bringing all U.S. troops out of Iraq.

Any coverage of this in the MSM?

< crickets chirping >

Thought so.

[Notwithstanding]

So Cocco admits she would vote for Howdy Doody.

How nice to let us know that she's a nitwit.

[TaxRelief]

SCHLESINGER: This time there would be no long deferments for college students and a lot more people could be eligible for the draft than ever before. Men and women aged 18 to 26 could be called up.

If the Democrats were successful in pushing through a draft, how does she know there would be no deferments for college?
