Rather Large Issue

September 17, 2004. Perhaps you have never smelled a dead horse, but Dan Rather of CBS is surely sitting on one that really stinks because it has been dead so long. For nearly two weeks Rather has stood by a story with more holes than a new block of Swiss Cheese. I don't think you have to be stupid to watch and listen to Dan Rather, but the way he has been acting since he aired a piece on "60 Minutes" attempting to discredit President Bush's service in the Air National Guard you'd have to conclude that Rather thinks his viewers are stupid. Rather is at the very least, out of touch with the reality of the Internet and how the "Jammie Brigade" can get the truth out all over the world quicker than Dan can type out today's CYA memo on his 1952 model Royal Typewriter. I bet he is typing a lot of those CYA memos right right now. Pretty ironic if you think about it, how the forged memo was referenced as CYA; he just didn't realize he would be living that scenario. After the Jammie Brigade of bloggers, Internet news services and Fox news conclusively proved that Rather was using a bogus memo, a forgery, literally a fake document to make Dan's case, he had the audacity the say people are missing the "larger issue", the questions raised about Bush's service in the Guard. Like it or not Dan, you are the larger issue even if you are not running for president. Could we ask the question, "What did Dan know, and when did he know it?" Stories based on lies with the intent to influence millions of viewers is serious stuff.

Can you believe Rather thinks his audience is so dumb? He is basically saying that even though the documents he used to make his case against Bush were frauds, we need to believe the documents tell the truth. In other words, in Rather's demented mind he is thinking his story about Bush is the truth even if you and I know he used a lie to expose "his truth". Come to think of it that is the mindset of liberals; "there are no absolutes, no absolute truth, but everyone has to discover his own truth", just like New Jersey Governor James E. McGreevey saying "My truth is that I am a gay American." Dan has his own truth. Maybe his is, "I didn't like George W H Bush when he was president and I don't like his son President George W. Bush, and I will do just about anything to force my views on others." I wonder how long Dan Rather will continue to arrange the deck chairs on the "unsinkable" CBS?

So now that CBS and Dan Rather have been exposed for their reckless use of the facts with the "60 Minutes" program about President Bush they are the laughing stock of the real truth seekers. For being exposed as frauds, none are more deserving than these two ........and that's .........
