What?
The information in the story was never disputed,
the dispute was over the authenticy of the documents.
you don't care about the information was true or not, you care about Rather......
which facts...specifically what are you talking about.
More Rather FUN

******************************************************
Rather's "unsubstantiated story of Bush's military service" (says USA Today) got him canned. Yet, all the poor man did was repeat a story the Brits put on BBC Television a year earlier -- that Poppy Bush put in the fix to get his son out of 'Nam and into the Texas Air Guard, spending his war years guarding Houston from Viet Cong attack.
But Dan never reported this: the documentation from inside the US Department of Justice detailing the fix. Why not? Because it opened up a far more serious charge: that those who kept Little George out of war's way ended up very well rewarded. The BBC, the world's biggest network, ran that full story -- from the evidence of the fix to the evidence of the lucrative pay-backs -- and the BBC never retracted a comma of it. Nor, by the way, has the White House denied our accusations despite our repeated offers to respond.
George's slithering out of combat turned into big pay-days for those in on the fix and its cover-up: Harriett Miers (remember her?), Karen Hughes and Texas lobbyists.

Why is it that when people are afraid that something they don't like that just might be true, they go on the attack.
Your statements are totally false. The story of Georgie and the NG is true and there was far more material to corroborate it then was actually used, but little Georgie has powerful friends and they went all out to destroy Rather.
Georgie is a moronic coward and always has been. You may be blinded to that and to the damage he is doing to this country today, but your children, grandchildren and great grandchildren will suffer dearly because of it.
Don't try to pull off the commie thing on me because you don't like what I say. It is not true. I am a real patriot, I love my country and I am an enemy of those who would destroy it, including that little dweeb sitting in the White House today.

If you are AWOL for more then 30 days you are a considered a deserter. And deserting during a time of war is considered treason. Nobody in the Bush Administration disputed the facts that were brought out in the report. And there is a standing offer of $10,000.00 to anybody that can place Bush in Alabama for any Guard training. You'd think somebody would remember him if he was there.

DWI Bush is the bugger eating moron. Dan Rather is the true American hero. Just wait you will find out some day, he WAS right. I just don't think the Bush family will be able to hide all the Nat. Guard records and threaten enough people with death to totally cover this one up. Soon the truth will come out. God is not going to let this anti-Christ slide much longer.

Rather isn't a commie you fascist!
Where was Bush for a year and a half?? In my unit that would be called desertion. Working on a republican campaign, while doing coke and boozing, makes it kind of hard to pass a flight physical, doesn't it??
Where is Bush's FACTS and EVIDENCE for the war in Iraq!!
Face it, Bush is a draft dodger no matter what spin you want to put on it!

Most journalist are after a story, regardless of Political leanings (I remember Monica Lewinsky being a big story too.) Rather was probably after one big topping one at the end of his career (as he was planning to retire anyway soon after). Unfortunately, he goofed. Being in the limelight, that's an ouch. He's likely not as leftist as you may have believed AM radio or Fox news to have painted him. Just remember, "Fair and Balanced" does not mean pandering to everything you believe, no matter how many times Hannity repeats it.

For the guy who made the righty fascists comment. Fascism is a LEFT wing idealogy you freaking moron. Nazism is called National SOCIALISM for a reason. It comes out of marxist thought. Just like liberalism. And just like every other movement to come out of marxism, liberalism is about genocide. Specifically, you have lied, manipulated and coerced our country into not intervening in various genocides for two generations. You have an ocean of blood on your hands. Rather was trying to further this cause in Iraq as part of a plan to bring genocide to the middle east again. He got caught.
These people are heinously evil. But they are also like vampires. The light of truth makes them shrivel up and die.

Im no longer a Bush fan, yet he didnt desert his submit. He merely wasnt a uncommon military member. He grew to develop right into a slacker and didnt ensue to recurring medical exams, and some education activities. He received reprimands, yet contained contained in the military its immediately ahead for slackers to ward off over some appointments and all they get is a letter of reprimand. also do no longer ignore about that he grew to develop into contained contained in the Air nationwide look after and then transferred to the Reserves. The ANG and reserves are very tender with there rules, because persons are to not any quantity more desirable complete time Airman they're as some call it "weekend warriors". He grew to develop into in no way in strive hostile to and in no way deployed to a strive hostile to section. So in short he didnt desert below the legal definition. and also the military quite prosecutes persons who do desert, they dont even make an attempt to discover them. the in uncomplicated words way they get stuck is contained in the journey that they are stupid sufficient to video coach for a authorities pastime or are pulled over by a cop and they run the license. a cutting-side-day article in CNN addressed it and said that the military doesnt have the time, and aspects to objective to seize those deserters. residing in shame is punishment sufficient for them I dont comprehend why and who voted for him very very last election, they might want to be on crack cocaine. Our deficit is exceptional! boy what a multitude.

Dan Rather, first is a professional, I believe the story was on PBS.come on there was no conspiracy, he is the Reporter, the Station is responsible for accuracy, He had some input. after the uproar he was delegated to errand boy, by the station, and that is wrong. but typical today for a company, find a patsy.
