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 go to bed every night and I pray, and I actually get sick to my stomach. I'm very worried. I'm scared. I'm absolutely scared. I'm petrified."
 

 

That pretty much describes my own feelings about a possible Kerry presidency.

Unbelievable that CBS would still be trying to do this. No, I guess it's all too believable.

But the word is finally getting out what a joke they are.

Can't be soon enough for me!

This women could use a little more faith. The Bible tells us 365 times not to be afraid. This being a leap year I guess she's allowed one day to be afraid. She needs to learn to give it to God after she prays and stop worrying.

The only people watching CBS are the Kool-Aid drinkers and this is the excrement that keeps them on board the Kerry bandwagon. Could this be a little pre-damage control for the debates? These people were Liars before, they are Liars now and we won't be surprised when they lie to us in the future.

So what's the issue? Are the regular forces streached? Yes, even the Pentagon says that. Are there rumors of a draft? Yes, regardless of the source of the rumors only a fool would say that they don't exist or that people aren't buying in to them. Do either candidate support a draft? No, and CBS quoted both of them on this. The problem isn't that CBS reported this, or that they gave it more than their usual media bias. The problem is that Bush can deny plans for a draft until he's blue in the face and a significant percentage of the population won't believe him. The question is why won't they believe him?

So how do we get the word out there on this? It amazes me how the left portray the Bush Admin as a totalitarian government, but yet use the media to manipulate outright lies. I am furious over Rather putting lies on the news and then because he controls the news, it never gets out there that he is spouting the lies themselves! I bet it made him crazy to have to admit he screwed up with the photo's. Oh wait, he didn't...

Beverly Cocco, a Philadelphia woman who is "sick to my stomach" that her two sons might be drafted.


One of the proudest days of my life was the day my son enlisted. Now that he is home he is light years ahead of his friends emotionally. God bless our troops God Bless 'em all.

It is time for CBS to have these stories tallied, and submitted to the FEC as COORDINATED COMMUNICATIONS, and asking that they be fined an amount commensurate to what they charge for AD TIME.

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

Hummm, I didn't know Chelsea Clinton was running ....

Rather must have once again gotten his marching orders from Kerry. Last week, Fox News aired an ad by Kerry for President showing video of Kerry stating "President Bush is going to reinstate the draft immediately after the election."

I wrote a letter to Fox News asking them how could they and Kerry get away with such a false ad and gave them Bush's quotes on saying he doesn't support a draft and provided them with summaries and links to the detailed text of the 2 bills "drafted" and sponsored 100% by Democrats that you mentioned above.

I haven't seen the ad since. I saw where a few other freepers also saw the ad, but it sure disappeared fast. Now Rather is running with that lie too. LOL, he's determined to ruin his reputation, isn't he? Fox News should also be made to answer for running that Kerry ad and Jim Lehrer better ask them both about it tomorrow night.

This is the man responsible for bringing before Congress the latest bill to reinstitute the draft:

BAGHDAD JIM McDERMOTT

And, he's up for re-election.
(Unfortunately, his lefty Seattle constituents will probably elect him again - in a landslide.)

This will "resonate"... across the blogosphere and on all the Radio talk shows and internet, then to Fox, in the next day or two. By insisting on perpetrating fraud after fraud, CBS has committed deliberate and willful Sepuku. I guess they could not stand themselves. The MSM is dying "Rather" quickly, don't you think?

NICK COCCO (College senior): Yeah. It's the talk. The talk's there. Though people aren't actually coming out and saying it, it's, it's there.

They aren't saying anything but the talk is there.

Rather's boss ought to bash Dan's head against the wall until he grow tired of the wet, squishy sound.

The left has been ramping up the "Draft" BS again in the past 2 weeks (organized campaigns with fliers, emailings, posting to apolitical forums, etc.). This comes from the Kerry Campaign.

I was watching MTV and seeing them interrupt programming to scare kids into voting. Every 5 minutes it seemed there was something to "remind" them to vote.

I told him that those kids are going to have regrets when they realize that they were being lied to by the Democrats.

The anarchists don't care if Kerry brings this nation down. That is what they need to overthrow the government. A means to an end.

I go to bed every night and I pray, and I actually get sick to my stomach. I'm very worried. I'm scared. I'm absolutely scared. I'm petrified.

I feel exactly the same way everytime someone mentions John Kerrys name and president in the same sentence I dont want an Anti-God Anti-Troop Anti-American Pro- United Nations President

If this happens we wont have an America

Just like this woman i feel the same way shes afraid for her kids being sent to war to fight for our way of life Im afraid of my kids living in a Communistic Society where only the elite are free and the common folk are slaves to the grind

A vote for Kerry is just that make no mistake about it ! HE IS A COMMUNIST !

This false story has resonated with some undecided voters. So CBS is hitting its mark: sowing doubt in the minds of the undecided so they'll vote against Bush. Sowing fear in the minds of esp. female voters.
