This is Chapter 13 of the new book To Set the Record Straight: How Swift Boat Veterans, POWs and the New Media Defeated John Kerry, written by yours truly and The Shrew. It tells the story of how Freepers exposed Dan Rather's fraudulent National Guard documents story during the 2004 presidential campaign. The book-formatted version, with footnotes, can be found at the link.

“If any definitive evidence to the contrary of our story is found, we will report it. So far, there is none.

— CBS Evening News anchor Dan Rather”

You know you’ve won when one of MSM’s exalted resorts to having the public prove a negative.

What happened with this scandal was truly the penultimate triumph of the de-massification of the media Alvin Toffler talked about way back in 1979 in the book The Third Wave. Is it small wonder why Americans are so skeptical of the MSM since then?

I can't wait to read you and Tim's book. You guys are real American heroes!

In January 2005 at its Inaugural Ball in Washington, FreeRepublic.com named Harry MacDougald—“Buckhead”—as the website’s “Poster of the Year.” MacDougald accepted with modesty, saying that others would surely have spotted the forgeries if he had not. He walked away with a plaque that featured a gold-colored investigator’s badge.

On the badge were engraved the words “Pajama Patrol.”

I was lurking on that thread almost all night, it was remarkable and the quality of the research was astounding. I was mad as a hornet at C-BS and LOL at the same time.

I finally went to bed in the wee hours of the morning with a smile on my face and malice in my heart. It is disgusting what CBS tried to do that night and something I will never forget.

Rather thought he could top Walter Cronkite. It blew up in his face. Har!

Hopefully, there will be opportunities in 2008 for Freepers to exceed even this brilliant example of taking the MSM down and out in August 2004.

Whoever your fulfillment company is, they are fast! I received my order of 5 books on Saturday. I’m half way through the book and it is really good.

Glad to hear it. The manufacturing / fulfillment company is Malloy, up in Michigan. They try to get orders out the same day, and Priority Mail is pretty quick, even during the pre-Christmas mail-strom.

“Don Mapes told an interviewer, “I’m really ashamed of my daughter, what she’s become. She went into journalism with an ax to grind, that is, to promote feminism—and radical feminism, I might say—and liberalism.”

and one might say she was one of the Hillesbians.

Radical liberal feminists working with Hillary’s core crew of ‘sisters’.

Hillary wanted Kerry to win, because then the DNC controlled the White House and could ‘erase’ any damaging info. Kerry would have one term, then Hillary planned to be President.

So now she is spending a lot of time putting out little fires, most of which she creates.

The SBV’s, the Pajamahadeen, POW’s and New Media became heros, role models, for the rest of us.

The MSM looks for dirt to sell laundry soap.

We use the soap to wash off the dirt, and reveal the truth.

It is wonderful to have a book containing the truth about the scandalous behavior of the DNC and MSM.

Were it not for the internet, though, I doubt I would ever have heard of the book. And Hillary would probably be President right now.

THANK GOD FOR AL GORE!!! (irony is wonderful)
