Dan Rather Praises Peter Arnett, Claims 'Most People' Believe His Story

On CNN’s Larry King Live Thursday night, Dan Rather insisted that his $70 million lawsuit against CBS was an attempt to save “our democracy” from “big government interference and intimidation in news;” claimed once again that his 2004 60 Minutes story on President Bush’s National Guard service was correct “and I think most people know by now that it was correct;” and charged that CBS’s investigation was “a fraud. It was a setup.”

And when Larry King asked him about Peter Arnett — whose career at CNN ended over a fraudulent 1998 report alleging the U.S. murdered defectors and used nerve gas in Vietnam, and who was last seen making propaganda films for Saddam Hussein during the 2003 invasion of Iraq — Rather embraced him: “Peter Arnett is a great reporter. He was then and he is now.”

Is it possible that his ego is so stupendous that it has made him THIS addled?

My God, what a fool.

Most people I know say you’re a washed up liar. Guess that makes it true.

Poor Danny. I feel so bad for him that I just can’t stop my crocodile tears from flowing.

“save “our democracy” from “big government interference and intimidation in news”

He sounds like your normal everyday leftist President rationalizing his defense against his own impeachment by claiming it isn’t his Presidency, but the Constitution, he’s trying to save.

“and I think most people know by now that it was correct;”

Interpretation...He took a poll at the last lefty cocktail party he attended and that’s what they all concluded.

I firmly believe that if you seriously scratch of the surface of liberal propagandists like Keith Obermeyer, George Soros, “Kos,” or Katie Couric, you will find them all at least as delusional as the pathetic Dan Rather.

“Most people”, does that mean he is claiming to have consensus? Like they do with the Global Warming Scare?

Reminds me of the leftist columnist Pauline Kael back in 1972, who was completely shocked that Nixon had beaten McGovern.

“How can that be?” she supposedly said. “No one I know voted for Nixon.”

Why, that man is crazier than a frog with two pistols in his pants pockets!

His brain is hotter than a skillet in momma’s fireplace!

Stay tuned, cause fuzzy wuzzy wasn’t very fuzzy when we found out he got a pass in flight school!

(Ya know, I will miss Danny’s insane rantings after he dies)

Yesterday on FOX, Bernie Goldberg said that Rather believes his firing was the result of a Republican conspiracy to get him. His “logic” is that CBS was convinced to appoint the Attorney General from the Reagan/Bush 1 administrations (Dick Thornburgh) to the two-person committee that investigated Rathergate.

Ratherbiased can you change the site name to rathercrazy?

Dan...go away!

At least Uncle Walter had the good grace to put down the pad and sail....He still spouts off but it doesn’t mean much.

Get a hobby.
