You know you're in trouble when your defense consists of claiming that the documents can't be 'easily dismissed' as forgeries.
So, what, instead of the 30 minutes it took the blogosphere, it would really require a few hours of work to conclude the docs were fake?
Other than learning that Mary cried and that she thinks Thornburgh is full of it, what do we learn other than that even Mapes herself can't bring herself to claim that the documents are forgeries?

That last sentence in the previous post should read:
"What do we learn other than that even Mapes herself can't bring herself to claim that the documents aren't forgeries?"

Ya know....if these people had any sense at all, they'd go away and let this thing die. But no....they gotta keep trying to defend their lies.
All the better for us...

"it was a political campaign"
"Sure glad the msm is not a political campaign:). The ONLY way to fight politics, it seems, is with the truth.

Cry more, Mary. And yes, liberals ARE the new Communists.

"I didn't know that the attack on our story was going to be as effective as a brilliantly run national political campaign, because that is what it was: a political campaign."
She underestimated Free Republic. She thought that she could push a lie in the middle of a Presidential campaign and not have any pushback. The times they are a changing.
To: abb
they gotta keep trying to defend their lies. For that matter, she doesn't really ever get around to defending the lies. She can't bring herself to claim the docs are authentic. So what is her book other than a teary confessional?

"If I was an idiot, it was for believing in a free press that is able to do its job without fear or favor. ...I didn't know that the attack on our story was going to be as effective as a brilliantly run national political campaign, because that is what it was: a political campaign." Bravo! Brilliant campaign! Take a bow!

"...I didn't know that the attack on our story was going to be as effective as a brilliantly run national political campaign, because that is what it was: a political campaign." And it was in response to your ham-handed attempt to submarine a political campaign.
I don't think Miss Mapes gets it.
Still.

"Finally, she details how in that probe the question of how "liberal" she was became paramount. She likens it to the days of Sen. Joe McCarthy and charges that it was ironic that the same network that stood up to McCarthy with the Edward R. Murrow broadcasts was now caving in to similar tactics now: "Suspected liberals had become the new 'Communists...What in the world would Edward R. Murrow think of his network now?""
Actually Mary its ironic that you use McCarthy as an example. Mr. McCarthy was right then, just as your detractors are right now.

"I didn't know that the attack on our story was going to be as effective as a brilliantly run national political campaign."It was effective and brilliant for one simple reason: it had the truth on its side. If the docs were authentic, even the most brilliant campaign would have failed.

The documents weren't "easily dismissed" as forgeries. They were carefully studied and analyzed and only then were dismissed as forgeries.

The documents weren't "easily dismissed" as forgeries. They were carefully studied and analyzed and only then were dismissed as forgeries. Then again, the forgeries were so blatant that it took no more than about 30 minutes to carefully analyze them and dismiss them as forgeries.
All that was required was to place a modern Word document over the "documents," and when they traced absolutely perfectly . . . bingo!

Really? Airing such a contrived BS Bush Texas ANG story on national TV in the remaining weeks leading up the November 2004 election wasn't?
