The DU is in a real tizzy over this one. Now they just knew the docs had to be a plant - after all of them spent the last week insisting they were real.

[Always Right]

Karl Rove is just too smart for those idiots and they know it.

[tioga]

I believe that TX dems are behind it.

[dawn53]

What a smokescreen and who the heck is Stone. It's just a distraction tactic.

Number one, Dan Rather hasn't even admitted they were forged yet.

Number two, Mary Mapes putting Burkett and Lockhart in contact with each other has nothing to do with who penned the docs.

Number three, if CBS could pin this on a Republican, or even suspected a Republican, don't you think they would have said so.

It's just McAuliffe trying to take some of the heat off by turning the conversation off the Mapes, Lockhart connection.

On another matter, Pataki is going to be a tough sell in any national election.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

If the public buys this insanity then there is no hope for our nation.

They won't!

[kingu]

What a bunch of mushroom feed. Yeah, a wacko idiot in Texas gets forged documents from a GOP operative in New York? Oh, what the hell am I saying? They still believe that Kerry has a plan.

[L.N. Smithee]

The hot rumor in New York political circles has Roger Stone, the longtime GOP activist, as the source for Dan Rather's dubious Texas Air National Guard "memos."

And Buckhead was a fan of Roger Maris in his youth and owns a Rolling Stones LP! It's a conspiracy!

[Prime Choice]

The hot rumor in New York political circles has Roger Stone, the longtime GOP activist, as the source for Dan Rather's dubious Texas Air National Guard "memos."

Wonderful. The Democrats have completely eschewed the principle of Occam's Razor. ...and now they're about to slice off their own nose with said Razor...just to spite their face.

*whistle* That's some "strategery" they got there...

[Dog Gone]

Roger Stone was Sharpton's campaign manager.

[jporcus]

I see McAuliffe is also saying this. Whatever - it only keeps the story going and drowning out Kerry from getting any message out. (In fact, it is so obvious that you have to wonder whether this is all intentional to have Kerry lose and make way for Hillary - look at all the visible Kerry players seen recently regarding RatherGate: Lockhart, McAuliffe, Wolfson, ... all Clinton people).

[mabelkitty]

I hope they take the bait then.

[Steel and Fire and Stone]

The hot rumor in New York...

Which is substantiated by ..what? A "no comment" from Stone? The fact that he decided not to take the call of some duffus journalist who was trying to pin something on the GOP, is prima-facia evidence of complicity in a forgery?

This "hot rumor", first started by the chairman of the DNC, which is still totally unsubstantiated, deserves reporting as if it had any basis in fact at all?

This is journalism?! Why are some many in the lame-steam-press trying to get in on the Rather-action? It's as if they're howling "Hey..I'm as good as Dan! I'm Rather-biased too .. look at ME.. look at my story!".

Idiots.

SFS

[caisson71]

Oh my, could the "tooth fairy" be a Republican operative too?

[siunevada]

And in another well thought out political move, Terry McAuliffe LEAPED on this little item as 'unimpeachable' evidence that this is another Pubby dirty trick.

McAuliffe for DNC chair for life.

[PJ-Comix]

The DU is in a real tizzy over this one.

It was KARL ROVE wearing a Roger Stone mask!!!

[Fresh Wind]

The DU is in a real tizzy over this one.

They have even discovered a "linkage" between Stone and Lucy Ramirez.

[VOA]

The irony would be delicious, since Rather became famous confronting President Nixon,
in whose service a very young Stone became associated with political "dirty tricks."

Looks like the Dems (and their buds at CBS News) must be sweating bullets over
possible indictments/investigations.

Otherwise they'd not expend this much energy in "muddying the waters".

I wonder if McAuliffe, Rather and Mapes have been in a conference call with Oliver Stone...

[MHT]

Roger Stone and his wife got into trouble a few years ago by running an S/M Sex Club over the internet. He was getting alot of regular air time on Fox News in its early days, then that was it and little did we see of him (except an excerpt from his website showing him in his black leather and piercings).

[Ironclad]

DU has been saying it was a Republican Party plot since the news broke the morning after the story aired. They were all raised on Oliver Stone conspiracy theories - they believe in that stuff. Just more DU tail chasing.

[atomicpossum]

Yeah. Republican makes documents to ruin Bush, then hands them off, knowing they would be handed off, passed up a hand to hand into the hands of a willing news organization that would use them to try to destroy the President, and none of the Dem DUpes would detect a fifth-level forgery. The news organization in question would overlook all the warnings from experts and familiars of the deceased individuals involved, breaches of military procedure, and lack of supporting evidence and jump in with both feet, falling completely under the genius of the Evil Republican Plan^tm!

They can see it all so clearly!
