Killian Family Wants Apology From CBS
NewsMax .com ^ | 9/21/04 | Carl Limbacher

Posted on 09/21/2004 4:20:32 AM PDT by kattracks

Gary Killian of Houston, son of the late Lt. Col. Jerry Killian, a Texas Air National Guard commander over Bush in the early 1970s says CBS owes his family an apology for airing false documents attributed to his father, according to a report in the Kansas City Star.

Gary Killian, who once served in the Guard with his father, said he first questioned the validity of parts of the memos -- then later became convinced they were all fakes.

Killian admits he is angry with CBS:

"Do I take it personally? Yes. I think, first of all, CBS and Dan Rather owe my deceased father and my family an apology."

Killian added, "I don't accept that this was an innocent mistake. I think it confirms what a lot of people already think: that there is a hidden agenda among some of the media."

Unless they want a less than adequate apoloby, I fear that they will have a very long wait. We know from experience that in modern day liberalism the responsible are not responsible, the not responsible are responsible, unless anything goes wrong, then how can they be responsible?

Summary translation - they will say that it's Rove's fault.

Don't hold back. Just say what's on your mind.

And now for the latest edition of the DUmmie FUnnies on the subject of Memogate. My humble Tom Servo comments on the DUmmie universe are in the [brackets]:

I'm telling you, Dan Rather is on KKKarl Rove's payroll. He's on his knees in front of that fat, slimy, sleazeball like a WH intern.

[Uh-oh! This DUmmie is on to us! He has discovered our secret Rovian plot to pay off Dan Rather. Yes, every week KARL ROVE meets Dan late at night at a Manhattan Dunkin' Donuts and hands him a bag full of bills totalling $79. Oh, and at the next table over, gobbling down bag after bag of donuts, is a certain former WH intern.]

Kerry just has to be prepared for Rove. They'll try to make this crap stick and Kerry just has to ready for to counter it. I have faith that he's got good people around him who will come up with something great.

[Better check under your bed. KARL ROVE is probably there secretly taping you. Everywhere you look you will see KARL ROVE. See that dark shadow in the alley? It's KARL ROVE! And one of the "good people" around Kerry? It's KARL ROVE in disguise!!!]

I think it's time to stop letting them push us around. If they want to make a case out of these then we take them to court for the Swift Boats for Truth. CONGRESS WE DEMEND A INQUIRY FOR THAT! NO MORE DOUBLE STANDARDS!

[This was apparently posted by a DUmmie but it must really be KARL ROVE. Yet another devious Rovian plot to give publicity for the Swift Boats for Truth. Watch out, DUmmies! KARL ROVE is roving amongst you. Hee! Hee!]

I knew Rove and his fellow trolls were diabolical, but I never knew just how good they were until today. I tried catching bits and pieces of several news shows on most of the cable channels and every show talked about how this is going to, or already has, sunk Dan Rather's career and the credibility of CBS news. And you can see everyone's eyes sparkling with joy!! What a great story! "Oh, it's a dark day for journalism, but god I'm having an orgasm."

[Yes! It's all part of Rove's diabolical plot to drive the DUmmies completely insane.....and it's WORKING!!!]

I was so excited when cbs aired the memo show. I figured that this would tie the dink to his record and would point to his lack of integrity and vile habit of lying about everything.

[SNIFF! Yet another DUmmie victim of a diabolical Rovian plot.]

"Lucy Ramirez" is obviously not a real person. A woman using that name called Burkett, and arranged a meet. But she never showed up at the meet. Instead, a man passed Burkett the papers. I would not be surprised if the RNC were behind this--passing crude forgeries in an effort to discredit the Bush AWOL story.

[By God! This ingenious DUmmie discovered the plot. Lucy Ramirez=Karl Rove. Notice how both last names start with the letter "R".]

Give these women a call, and ask them. "ARE YOU THE LUCY RAMIREZ THAT CALLED BURKETT? DON'T LIE TO ME. TELL THE TRUTH."

["You want the truth? Okay, I'LL GIVE YOU THE TRUTH!!! MY NAME IS KARL ROVE AND I CALLED BURKETT USING A FALSETTO VOICE!!!"]

I Googled Lucy Ramirez in news, just the thread story so far. Who is she?

[It's a good thing you didn't google Lucy Ramirez at a Motel Six since she is really KARL ROVE.]

. Here's a Lucy Ramirez . . . as executive director of a hospital that serves the poor in Hidalgo County, Texas. But I'm sure there are thousands of Lucy Ramirez's in south Texas.

[And MILLIONS of Karl Roves EVERYWHERE. In fact there is a smirking KARL ROVE standing right behind you at this very moment.]

Lucy Ramirez in 2000 was the woman who gave Repigs Gore's... tape of his debate speech. She worked for the bush campaign. The whole thing was that she was set up by karl rove, but was forced to take the blame and was fired. Much like Dan Rather is taking the blame and he was only the messanger.

[KARL ROVE! KARL ROVE! SLOOOOOOOWLY I TURNED, STEP BY STEP...]

No way! Are you saying the tape thing was done by a 'Lucy Ramirez' style shadow figure?

[Need I even mention the name of that "shadow figure?" karl rove. Oops! Excuse me. That just slipped out.]

It was a Bush operative who gave a tape to the Gore campaign. Her name was Yvette Lozano.

[Lucy Ramirez. Yvette Lozano. The confusion is easily explained. All those Spanish names sound the same. But the real name of both of these operatives was....KARL ROVE.]

When something is as convoluted and obtuse as this story is, I see Karl Rove's fingerprints all over it. Keep looking behind the curtains, you're gonna find Rove eventually.

[I SEE KARL ROVE! I SEE KARL ROVE UNDER MY BED! BEHIND THE CURTAINS! IN THE SHOWER! IN MY BASEMENT! ON MY ROOF! SEE THAT SHADOW? IT'S KARL ROVE! KARL ROVE IS EVERYWHERE!!! AND NOW HE IS HIDING IN THE DEEP DARK CREVICES OF MY MIND! AND I CAN'T GET HIM OUT! AGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!}

And here's the guy, Roger Stone, who is the link Stone and Rove go way, way back to Reagan and Lee Atwater, may be the source of the documents. This is the same guy who organized and paid the Miami Mob during the recount and then went on to join Al Sharpton's campaign. Folks if this is true, we have a direct link to the WH.

[It doesn't matter if it is true or not. Just type up official looking documents tying them together on your computer and fax the papers from Kinkos to Mary Mapes at CBS News. And if it backfires, then it proves this was a diablolical KARL ROVE plot.]

Gee. You don't mean it! A hidden agenda? They've never done much of a job of hiding it.

I think that there should be a Narnia type book filled with all the explanations of the mythological fantasies of the liberal control freaks. As most conservative books outsell lefty ones (too busy watching Gerry Springer), it should be a big hit (but would have to be disqualified from the NYT Book Review).

Hmmmm.....So are you saying that the DUmmie FUnnies could be published as a book? Yes, I definitely see it but with LOTS of illustrations and a forward by Karl Rove.

No, they've never felt they had to, just claiming it was so enough times "makes it so." Their bias has been transparent to any with their eyes open.

I agree that the Killians deserve an apology.

But you can bet CBS will pull the old trick of saying they 'cannot libel the dead'.

It's always fun reading the DU Two Minutes Hate. They never let up on Goldstein Rove.

Personally, I think Mr. Rove has to love this. I mean, who doesn't like being accused of being smarter and more powerful than they really are?
