I tried to vote, and the little box popped up......Server Not Found. heh!
Another thing, NBC Nightly News just ran an expert that said outright that the documents are most likely forgeries. So increasingly, mainstream media is reaching the consensus that the documents (and naturally teh allegations therein) are not legitimate.
Allegations contained in a forged document don't carry much credibility at all. The only way they would get credibiity is through corroboration by other (legitimate) sources - testimony, documentary evidence, etc. That evidence hasn't surfaced.
You are way off base: there are many more questions for Rather & CBS to deal with, by any standard. Any comments by the admin would distract from that - even the MSM is discrediting the allegations as we write this.
Try again, we're changing the numbers. I hate to give CNN any play, but if we don't their dolt viewers will believe they are part of the majority!
There are two polls on the subject on CNN.

Well, shoot. :(
^^^^ TH
you got it
How about, "see you in hell, you miserable commie turncoat bastard." :D
Well, the same could be said for making his 4 month Vietnam record the center of his campaign. Surely he didn't believe that all those people who knew the REAL John Kerry in Vietnam were just going to sit idly by while he was publicly puffing and preening about being an American hero....never mind the fact that he came back from Vietnam and betrayed those who were still there.
I can't wait to watch 60 Minutes Sunday night to learn what is NOT happening!
How the hey is this even close? Freakin' liberals. That's probably how.
It should be on his website: http://www.hannity.com He's also unveiling all of this on Hannity & Colmes tonight. Sorry for the late response.
I heard this on the air today; but reading this I had a thought that floated into my brain part of this outright glee must be CBS's version of payback for the SuperBowl/Janet Jackson fiasco and the half mill in fines levied against them.
I know you guys love Rush, but I have never been able to get through one of these long drawn out transcripts.
I don't suppose there is a cliffnotes version of Rush is there?
I don't think that is true. I think that there are specific letter sequences with spacings that cannot be created by any typewriter that existed in 1973. Once this is common knowledge, why should Bush respond to allegations backed up by forged documents? Is he obligated to answer any false charge that the forgers care to concoct?
Perhaps you think that Bush should just go through the United States Code and specifically deny having violated each specific federal law?
Rather HAS to be firm on the story.
If he admits they were duped by a forged government document, they LOOSE FIRST AMENDMENT PROTECTION. There is no first amendment protection for lies.
(CBS apparently has been caught before using forged documents and HAD TO PAY OUT MONEY when sued)
If the proven forgery is admitted by CBS, then a subpoena could not be objected to based on the first amendment. There is no first amendment protection for lies even by the strictest standard of the law. CBS would be forced to reveal the source as Kamp Kerry and Kamp Kerry would be forced to reveal the source as the DNC.
Such a dominoe chain has the potential of COLLAPSING THIER CFR REQUIRED NON-COORDIANTION RULES.
Rather is the first line of defense of a line of domines straight back to the DNC.
Does Rather have to admit the document as false? NO! it will just take time, more time than 50+ days. It then becomes an issue of showing what they knew and what they OBVIOUSLY SHOULD HAVE KNOWN. CBS can't, under the law, ingnore the obvious.
Stick a fork in Rather, he is done.
Guiding Light, Doctor of Democracy, half his brain tied behind his back, JUST to make it far, with "talent...on loan...from...God------d" BUMP!!!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!
that is classic! Milk Carton BUMP!!!
Speaking of the Frenchurian Candidate, listening to his debate with John O'Neill in 1971...does anyone else notice that he was just as pompous and arrogant as he is today?
Good one!
Kerry can thank Dan Rather and CBS for his demise.
TRoll! Troll Troll Troll!!
