CBS Evening News will talk about AWOL again

[Cush]

coming up after the break, going to update the story

[NewYorkerfromMass]

1. Fuel the fire!!!!

Keep talkin' about it freepers! Keep talkin'!

[Lex]

2. They said they would keep after the story until they got some answers.

Looks like they weren't kidding about that.

Good for them.

I'm sure Rather is mightily pissed after that whole "forgery" BS.

[Cush]

3. on now

[CatWoman]

4. on now!!!

[tjdee]

5. Sniff sniff.. is that cocaine?

Would you believe a certain pResident snorted cocaine, an ILLEGAL SUBSTANCE, for over 20 years?

I'd love to see that on the evening news.

[Stephanie]

6. Technical consultants debunking EVERYTHING

hah!

[CatWoman]

7. tee hee

:D

[opihimoimoi]

17. face it, he was awol/disobeyed orders, and faked his way to the

oval office.

and he wants America to obey him??

these guys, they into obedience big time...they wish prople to obey THEM.....

[Cush]

8. WH still won't answer the questions

same old BS

[CatWoman]

9. LOL -- They even asked the White House Rather's questions

and he says they still haven't been answered.

[Lex]

10. CBS News asked the White House directly to answer the 5 questions.

The White House is still side-stepping.

[lasttrip]

14. go dan go!

i'm not watching but he must be pissed.

[REVOLT823]

43. Dan has them backed into a corner,

I think Bush is finally going to have to fess up or look like a major punk in the eyes of everyone paying attention to this.

[huckleberry]

11. Thanks for the heads up!

bush is BUSTED!!

[Stephanie]

12. How do we know Bush received an Honorable Discharge?

Have we seen that documented? Is it in question? Dan Rather sort of sounded like he might explore that further.

[Lex]

13. Also mentioned that at some point Bush dropped back down to flying

the training plane.

[canuckybee]

15. Way to go Dan !

Show those wusses what journalism is supposed to look like !!!!

[City Lights]

16. Did they show the 2 new docs that are up on the USA Today site? eom

[sonicx]

19. yup nt

[City Lights]

Excellent.

Will be sure to tune in when it airs here. Thanks for the info everybody.

[Lex]

20. Yes, they mentioned how they corroborate the memos that CBS has.

[newsguyatl]

22. yep

it was great

[liveoaktx]

23. Rather said US News and World Report got one other doc, didn't

mention the second, but didn't seem to indicate it came from CBS. Where did it come from? (where did BOTH come from?)

[CatWoman]

24. He mentioned them

but my back was to the telly -- don't know if he showed them.

[tanyev]

26. Yes, but

they omitted any reference to Bath. They had the pic of that document up, but the words on the screen only said--"specifically Bush." Why won't they go into James Bath???

[complain jane]

42. I can't believe that I took the freeper's word the other day

about the Pentagon announcing the documents were fake (which apparently they haven't done any such thing)

:spank:

I feel like such an idiot.

[Rockholm]

18. Excellent Work CBS and Dan Rather!!!!!

Go get em!!!

[BootinUp]

21. I never thought a network news show would cover this stuff.

I mean it is newsworthy and all, but after the way Bush has been protected in the media, it just shocks me.

[newsguyatl]

27. cbs's integrity has been questioned

nothing worse can happen to you in journalism.


you better believe, they're going to go ALL out, to make sure they prove the naysayers wrong.

[sundog]

33. They have no choice but to fight -- I'm glad at least ONE media outlet is.

[depakid]

28. It's the controversy, baby

that's why they cover it- drives up ratings...

[nini]

25. President Kerry needs to give Rather the Medal of Freedom

as one of his first acts as President!

[Lex]

29. Next up, Rather needs to explore this "honorable discharge" term.

.
I felt almost like he wanted to say something about that.

Perhaps that will be forthcoming this week.

Should we email Rather and explain how the DC Sniper got an "honorable discharge" after all the crap he pulled in the military?

[MazeRat7]

30. Honorable Discharge != Honorable Service

I wish Dan would have pointed out that just because you receive an honorable discharge does not mean you served honorably. The WH and other talking heads keep using that as if it is a trump card.

I think we all know the story of the Washington sniper... assaulting an officer, theft, etc, AND and honorable discharge.

Dan needs to kick it up one more notch...

MZr7

[Pepperbelly]

38. actually it says it on the discharge ... true & faithful service I think

it says.

[CatWoman]

31. check here later to see the replay

[cheezus]

35. for some reason it's on at 6 here

and the local news is at 5:30
but only on cbs

[Connie_Corleone]

41. Thanks for the link!

[AmerDem]

32. I love it, Rather isn't backing down at all.

Just the opposite he shot back telling them they will continue to dig deeper into it. Now that would be a great lil October surprise.

[cthrumatrix]

34. and the WH runs from any answers

[GOPAgainstGW]

36. HERE’S “INSIDE SKINNY” ON THE RATHER-BUSH/GOP SMACKDOWN!

Dan Rather is a Texas native. He was born and raised outside Houston and then after completing college, cut his television journalist teeth at a National network station in Houston.

He took on the Bush Family "Texas Mafia"(BFTM) several times in the early 70's, and this current situation is more of the "blood feud" between he and H.W. Bush. Dan Rather is very solid, a real pro, first-class credibility (unlike those flake GOP-ops reporters at Fox), and will NOT back down from a deal that he knows he is right. I/we have never seen Dan do it once in 35 years!

The Bush Family Texas Mafia (BFTM) tries to destroy anyone that takes them on, hell just look at their damn track record. You all know this!

More importantly, we will make some phone calls on this deal, and in particular if CBS “60 Minutes” has something cooking to bag the BFTM on several matters we are aware. We keep hearing "little things" on this subject, plus the Washington Post has been digging on this next deal for over a year.

It has to do with the Bush Family corruption, documents the Fed accidentally discovered at Enron (which was a Bush Family business "front operation"), and Bush's "War Dog" House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (Houston) being under a massive Texas criminal grand jury investigation, for fraud, bribery, extortion, money laundering, and criminal abuse of his political office.

The big kicker is Bob “$200,000 donor to O’Neill’s SBVT” Perry (Houston) is involved with DeLay in his criminal enterprise and we mean BIG TIME! Also eleven (11) other BFTM members are involved, in varying degree, including the Texas Governor and other ranking elected State officials, and many of them could go to jail over this deal.

The BFTM is doing everything possible to keep the lid on it, and also get W elected. BFTM needs W elected so he can do Presidential Pardons for BFTM Enron buddies, (Ken Lay), DeLay, Perry, and others that get convicted and sent to prison over this massive criminal enterprise.

That in a nutshell is what’s going on with all the Bush-Cheney-GOP totally outright fraud in their campaign. They don’t have a platform to run on, so the con and fraud game is all they got!

They are going nuts because Rather stuck his nose in it. If you recall Dan Rather has stayed pretty neutral in his reporting on the O’Neill-SBVT fraud scam. We know, what I just delineated, because we are well connected Republicans, have several influential Houstonians in our “Beat Bush” cartel, along with two Houston criminal attorney’s – NKR

PS: It should be noted that CBS is owned by Viacom. 70-75% of campaign donations by Viacom (VIA) executives and its political action committee, have gone to the Democratic Party and its candidates. Just some interest info, nothing else!

PS1: All this Bush AWOL stuff is in Kitty Kelley's book that comes out tomorrow.

37. CBS news is going to be very interesting this week!

I got the impression from looking at Rather's facial expressions that he's enjoying this a great deal. What is it that I've heard about never pissing off a real Texan? Look out *, Dan Rather is gonna smoke y'all out.

[MazeRat7]

40. Its true. We dont get mad... we get even *grin (n/t)

45. Neil and Ignite

It's not sexy, but I'm glad it looks like she's going to cover Neil's software company and its relationship to No Child Left Behind. What a family, looking under every rock for a buck.

[complain jane]

44. Those jerkoffs

probably figured the whole thing would die down and go away after assaulting the messenger. I'm so glad Rather hasn't backed down. He rocks!
