The left is in deep trouble and so is the MSM who have been carrying their water for 4 decades now. The facade they have been hiding behind is coming down like the Berlin Wall

Maybe not...

I was going to say something, but saw you had taken care of it yourself.

Howlin'--

The Washington Post reports that CBS called Gen. Hodges, and read him the memos. Gen. Hodges said that the memos reflect what Col. Killian was saying about Bush in '72-'73. Take it for what it's worth:

Sounds fabfreakingtastic to me...

There's a lot of work to do in a 2nd term. Educating the pipples by putting a link to FR in every email is a start!

Best regards,

Ps - You've been duped by the mainstream media, friend! For the raw realities of what is really going down, point your 'puter towards http://www.freerepublic.com and see how you've been played!

[Kryptonite]

That was me.

Darn right it was.

And 'bout time you received credit well-deserved.

Many, many thanks to Jim for this forum and you for being you!

The word is getting around that the documents came through the Kerry campaign

I don't have the link but what I read was that the Kerry campaign had the documents for awhile and didn't know what to do with them. His campaign staff had doubts if they the real deal or not.

So it was decided by his staff that they would give the docs to CBS and expected them to do the leg work for them. And surprise, surprise CBS couldn't help themselves and ran the 60 Minutes piece without doing there own investigation. And now Danny Boy Blather has egg on his face.

LOL! Fumble on the goal line. That's sooo Indy...

[ApesForEvolution]

Totally orchestrated by ABCBS AFAIC...

Sadam sure liked him...gave him an exclusive.

[Dolphy]

I read that too but I'm not sure I believe the Kerry camp's comments. Those documents didn't look authentic, even for those of us without military experience. I believe Rather trusted the source over his own eyes and internal questions. I think the Dems would do anything to get this Alabama National Guard time into the debate, however it gets there. Judging from Nightline they could get their wish, the media will blow past the forgeries and look to bolster their allegations.

I know how difficult it is to sue for libel, but I think she CAN prove malice by cbs.

You only have to prove malice if the victim is a public figure. Col. Killian isn't.

[oceanagirl]

Please see my post # 323. The Washington Post (I know, I know) reports that CBS called Col. Killian's superior, Gen. Hodges. CBS read the memos to Gen. Hodges, and, it is claimed, that Gen. Hodges said that the memos reflected Col. Killian's statements about Lt. Bush. CBS states that it spoke with associates of Col. Killian. The Post tried to contact Gen. Hodges, who would not return calls.

I don't know where these documents came from, but I'd feel better if Gen. Hodges and any other living associates of Col. Killian would come out and deny that those memos reflect Col. Killian's statements and state that CBS didn't contact them.

I'd really appreciate it if someone could convince me that I shouldn't worry about the Post and CBS statements.

This is high-stakes poker. Whew!
And ABC, in a last ditch effort, tries to undermine the country once again with talk about the popular vote in 2000. Call your congressman, Ted, if you want to change the Constitution.

No sheet!

Aaron Brown of CNN began a bit tonight by clearly stating that the documents are probably fakes, but then went ahead and ran the SeeBS version of *the story* as if the fakes weren't fakes. Absolutely stunning that both Brown and CNN were willing accomplices in repeating falsehoods which they admitted were based on probable fakes.

If the Republicans were as litigious as Democrats, they'd rush to a courthouse to pursue a defamation claim against Brown and CNN. Putting out a story based on admitted *probable fakes* more clearly evidences the high actual malice standard applicable to public figures such as GWB than any other media slur known to date.

Praying all the time brother...

We are dealing with a significant criminal enterprise in America with the DemonRATs...very, very, very significant.

Surely now John McCain will go pubic

LOL. I'm so glad I don't use spellcheck. It reads much better this way.

[Kryptonite]

Explains why Scarborough and Buchanan had a real good chuckle over the entire matter on Scarborough Country tonight. They couldn't contain themselves. I posted last week or so that I'd be looking for the sign of resignation among cable talking heads to finally be at ease that GWB would win re-election. I was looking for the wrong sign. Tonight's chuckle-fest was such an unrehearsed, real release of expression as to win my confidence.

The amazing thing is that Koppel is not even PRETENDING that the documents are real.

He's asking questions (to his democratic co-hort) about how easy is it to get false documents to the media, who benefits, who did it, what should the Kerry campaign do now ...

[nopardons]

bttt

[Libertina]

How may one have "unintentional" forgeries? Doesn't the very word forgery indicate premeditated action? I hate the mass media.
