Dan Rather reiterated to CNN's Larry King on Thursday night that he believes the memos, in his National Guard hit piece on President Bush, were genuine. Rather emphasized how "the documents were part of a fairly wide array of information we had" and were "supported by all kind of things other than the documents." When King wondered, "so, are you saying the story might be correct?", Rather replied: "Well, I'm saying a prudent person might take that view." Rather pointed out how the investigatory panel named by CBS said that "the story was not born of any personal or political bias." Rather soon scolded those who presume the memos as forged: "They often say, well, they dealt with fake documents or fraudulent documents. Let's just say gently that that's not known. That's not a fact." Earlier, King asked: "Do you think the Republicans, the right-wing Republicans were after you?" Rather, who insisted he's "independent," ignored the substance of his bad reporting as he again saw a political agenda behind his critics: "Some people for their own partisan, political and ideological reasons want to jump on people that they perceive to be not with them."

Amazing how Leftists can look you in the eyes, smile, and lie.
"You can be an honest person and lie about any number of things." --Dan Rather
Who's Dan Rather? Did he kill Kenny?
He also said Clinton was an honest man.
How many times do we have to deck this drunk before he gives up and goes home? What a moron!
The boy's cheese done slipped off his beeber.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the "investigatory panel's" conclusion that they could find no evidence that there was "personal or political bias" behind the report?
"No evidence found" does not equal "not."
Also, Rather claimed the panel could not determine if the documents were frauds. That too is a distortion of what the panel's report said.
IIRC, Thornburgh et al decided not to even delve into that topic because they claimed it was beyond their purview.

"supported by all kind of things other than the documents."
Like what? Every bit of evidence to come out moved against the story.
Maybe not so amazing, Old Sarge, as they sure get enough practice at it.
These people problem is they tell lies and then quote those who are just quoting them, then say others are saying the same thing they are saying, in other words try to tell a lie lomg enough to make it so, but they just end up chasing their own "tale".
I think it's invincible ignorance.
Dan's sick for sure. I'm still wondering where they dug up their expert verifying a '75 proportional font identical to MS Word today.
The man sounds just like OJ.
