Dan Rather on CNN interview won't wear American Flag because "IT JUST DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT"
CNN

Posted on 9/22/2001, 11:01:26 PM by slate

I just saw Dan Rather interviewed on CNN and he will NOT wear an American flag because "IT JUST DOESN"T FEEL RIGHT". I don't have the transcript yet but I just saw him say that. (BIG BARF)

WHOOPS - Wolf just asked if would be hammered for that statement. HMMM - I wonder.

Dan Rather said news coverage for the last 10-15 years has been lousy and he lay the blame on the News Organizations (also explicitly said he was including himself in that group).

Don't know if Dan is truly repentant or scared because he no longer has sources in the White House.

His tears on David Letterman were real but time will tell if he'll change his tune.

For once I agree with you Dan. On you it doesn't even look right. Perhaps a sickle and a hammer would work.

As IMUS would say, pin a note on him. It's time for the dog track!

The idiot felt it was right to blubber and cry all over David Letterman (which I won't doubt the sincerity of) but when it comes time to wearing a flag - it doesn't feel right?!

Figures, he probably hasn't worn or saluted or pledged allegiance to the flag once in his pitiful life.

Dan is making sure that our enemies welcome him into their camp so he can report safely from the front lines of all the various terrorist camps he visits......just like he did during the other Afgan war.
Mr. Rather wants all of our enemies to know that he is an unbiased reporter (except against the current American Regime of course!)

"It just doesn't feel right." Isn't that what Rather said just before they kicked him out of the Marine Corps?

What are these people afraid of when it comes to wearing their countries flag?

It's more "In" than ever to be patriotic. Even if they didn't want to one would think they may fake it because of the grief that all the ones that ban it have taken.

Oh well, it will help the sheeple see Danny Boy for the commie that he is. He's becoming more irrelevant by the day.

More stupidity on parade! I say let them say everything that's on their minds, so they leave no doubt.
