A true warrior slain in the defense of the 4th estate by fluffy multi-millionare morning show moguls.

I have the opinion that Dan will be exonerated
by the time all of this really comes out...the
whole dirty ugly story...stay tuned!

The name Rather has been synonomous with truth quality and perserverance in journalism. Look at CBS News without him - Couric at anchor serving up watered down psuedo-news that nobody watches and 60 Minutes has morphed into an irrevelant, motley collection of tabloid reporters who haven't done an important story since Rather left. Witness Sarkozy walking out on Leslie Stahl and Steve Kroft's ridiculous, fondling interview of Clarence Thomas. 60 Minutes is dead.

I hope Rather achieves vindication and prevails in his lawsuit and in the process reveals what we all know to be true - that our current Commander in Chief is burned out coke freak and a booze hound who used influence to get his sorry ass into the National Guard so he wouldn't have to go to 'Nam and then he didn't even have the balls and guts to finish that committment.

How many other times has Dan used forged evidence to back up a story which he wanted to be true?
Btw, when Mary Mapes writes here my comments are never allowed.



COURAGE!

What is Rather now, 80?

Is he after Andy Rooney's job?

He's older than Larry King, maybe that's who's job he wants.

Let go, old man, it's over. Make way for the next generation.

Has is never occurred to anyone that the man was set up?

What better way to prevent any hard news about the president's past than to crush a high profile and highly trusted media icon?

Rathers story is that of a public hanging. He was set up to fall, and then slaughtered in a very public way as a warning to anyone who might dare to question the Fuhrer...I mean president.

You know the funniest part of reading troll comments is that they give the impression that their masters like them and will take care of them. You are all self delusional. Masters don't give a crap about slaves. If we actually end up with catastrophic results from global warming and your rich master has a big ship, he will laugh at your screaming asses as he sales away. Wait for me I supported you! Traitors to the masses are always the first sacrifices you dopes.

Aren't there duplicates of Bush's National Guard records somewhere, I think it is Ft. Leonard Wood in Missouri? I have read that there are duplicates that may not be released without his consent. If Bush consented, the truth would be revealed.

I wonder if Rather's attorneys will be able to depose Bush. Bush may object, but won't it be funny if he is forced to testify on the authority of the Supreme Court's ruling in the Paula Jones case (in which Clinton could not delay defending the case until he was out of office)?

Sending Schlummer Redschwein back to the Wailing Wall might be a good first step.

Mr. Rather,
I was of the generation that trusted you with telling us the news. I feel the assault on your integrity is an assault on mine. I beseech you to keep fighting the bastards that did this to you. You will be fighting for me, and I will be forever grateful. Murrow, Cronkite, Rather, perhaps Olbermann.

Questionable documents aside (I'm not saying forged because it hasn't been proven either way), do you conservatives deny Bush ducked out of service, which was the premise of the documents?

I say it IS a good story too.

I say go forward with the lawsuit!

Do it, Dan!

This whole thing is such a ridiculous load CRAP. Everyone with a minimum of synaptic firing knows damn well that Bush is a GIANT Chicken Hawk who never EVER served a day of duty. The idea that Rather was even unearthing anything new is just absurd. The GOP is chalk full of cowards who are eager to line their pockets with military cash for the sacrifice of other peoples kids and loved ones. This is so pathetic. How many honorable people will the MSM and the Bush Klan take down with them before they get a few teeth knocked out of their greedy little heads. The whole ENTIRE GOP are a bunch of sniveling bedwetters who can't stand a fair fight because they are so incrediblyt WEAK. And these are the ones who are suppose to protect us? Give me just a small break. Go Dan! Give em Hell, Moonves, Redstone and the rest of the Big Fat Baby Brigade.
