RATHER: Well, I heard you say that earlier and I agree that the Republicans can overplay this, because let's keep in mind in the 1998 Congressional election – I know people don’t remember - Bill Clinton was being pillared every day. Talk about scandal, this was a five-star scandal. And the Republicans did not do that well in the 1998 off-year elections.

We are told that it is wrong to attack a popular re-elected president. That it'll cause backlash.

Nixon won 49 states in 1972. Obama won 26 states in 2012. Next talking point...

Another way to look at it is the Rats are laughing their asses off at all the shills that bought their jive hook line and sinker knowing they will not be held accountable.

That’s all the left can ever think of. Here was have genuine violations of people’s rights, conspiracy and concealment on a massive scale, and the only thing they can think about is that it’s making the Republicans happy.

All it’s doing is confirming what the more conservative Republicans have been saying for years, but I don’t think any of us are happy to wake up and find that it’s confirmed that we are living in an Orwellian state where the Great Leader can do anything he wants and all’s fair if it maintains him in power.

eXCERPT:

Dan Rather in Crisis
Updated September 29, 2004

On September 8, 2004, Dan Rather cited “exclusive information, including documents” to justify major CBS Evening News and 60 Minutes stories alleging that George W. Bush shirked his duties when he was in the Texas Air National Guard in the 1960s and 1970s. Within a few hours of those documents being posted on CBS News’s Web site, however, typography experts voiced skepticism that the documents had actually originated with their alleged author and Bush’s former commanding officer, the late Lt. Colonel Jerry Killian. As the evidence mounted, Rather stubbornly clung to the idea that his story was bulletproof, and he derided critics as partisans and Internet rumormongers. When he “apologized” on September 20, Rather would not concede that the documents were forgeries, only that he and CBS could “no longer vouch for their authenticity.”/

But Dan "Fake But Accurate" Rather is not partisan. He is completely unbiased.

Dan Rather, in my opinion was rather good at taking untrue stories, and putting them on his NEWS at night as FACTS. He doesn’t sing bass in any of my choirs. Be Gone Mr. Dan. Your time ran out.

Don’t you know... Rather is STILL having to explain what we did to him.

DONNY DEUTSCH: Isn't there a danger for Republicans as they get drawn back into the Tea Party fervor, we know that doesn't play in general elections.

Assumes facts not in evidence. Tea Part backed Republicans have done very well compared to their RINO counter-parts. Not a perfect record, but far superior to GOP-e candidates.

He’s a chump.
