Rather Purports To Be At Peace, But Suggests Anonymous Partisans Destroyed Him With 'Lies'

If this is how Dan Rather at peace looks like, wonder what he's like when angry and embittered . . .

On Morning Joe today, Rather emphatically alleged that he was "at peace" over the Memogate fiasco that led to the end of his career. But he couldn't help himself from suggesting that his reputation had been destroyed by anonymous partisans employing "lies."

"Fake but accurate" is a time-honored Progressive journalistic practice, so he may be on to something.

Dan Rather’s not bitter. Really. Just ask him. It’s just that anonymous partisans destroyed him with lies. Ping to Today show list.

I think he really believes himself. His arrogance forbids him from recognizing the obvious: that the documents were crude forgeries.

I thank the geeks of the internet who showed me that my suspicians that Rather was a below average IQ dork who couldn’t do anything except read news was true.

Thanks Drudge.

As for you, Rather, shove it up your smelly Obama.

A reasonable person must, must I say, side with Dan Rather.

The poor guy's career was, WAS I say, absolutely destroyed by vicious lies. The fact that he told the lies has nothing to do with this.

Since when is a TV "journalist" supposed to be a slave to facts? TV "journalism" is INFOTAINMENT. It is supposed to be free and creative, fun, even! (And to keep Republicans in their place) It is unfair for a named partisan, like Dan, to be destroyed by "anonymous partisans," over a trivial difference of creative news opinion.

Actually, the documents were slick forgeries. Too tidy for the era they supposedly represented.

There was a time when CBS was the gold standard in broadcast news.

He wanted to believe a lie. A man in his position cannot afford such luxuries. His fall is entirely his own making. Efforts to share blame reveal an unrepentant heart.

Why can’t these nasty bitter communist buzzards like Carter & Rather just shut their sickening yaps and fade away into obscurity and enjoy the twilight of their lives with the ones they love?

......a group of anonymous partisan news whores work together on the internet (TV or newspaper or both) to ruin the reputation of decent conservatives.

Is this what he meant to say?
