I Am So Tired Of CBS Memogate/TANG/Service/Rather/etc.......
sorry all.

wasn't going to post at ALL on this but talking with Dadcom tonight, he confirmed my feelings.

IT DOES NOT MATTER AND IT IS STUPID

First of all, EVERYBODY knows that Bush got favorable treatment. He wasn't the only one. They ALL DID! And frankly, anyone who COULD get outta Nam, WOULD. Look. The fact Kerry didn't wasn't the norm. This issue won't resonate with ANYBODY!

Secondly, its a bullshit issue. Don't think that SERIOUS people think Kerry didn't serve, or serve honorably or didn't "earn" medals. Stop listening to Freepers. THEY aren't the norm. We may be at "WAR" with them but come on. Ma and Pa Moran don't give a flying fuck.

Thirdly, there is FAR MORE at stake in this race than whether a spoiled rich kid got favors or not. DAMMIT! STICK TO THE FASCIST ISSUES AT STAKE! It muddies the message to divert your attention.

Rather fucked up. They ALL fuck up. WHY? Because NONE OF THEM REALIZES THE POWER OF THE INTERNET!! WE call O'Lielly on his shit daily and THEY call RATHER on HIS shit daily. It will happen again and often. The media won't report THEIR media bias but it WILL report OURS.

UNTIL WE UNDERSTAND THIS FACT OF 'MURICAN LIFE, WE WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO "OUTFOX" THESE BASTARDS

move on. CBS did us NO FAVORS here. yes, ROVE probably was behind this fiasco but WE HAVE TO EDUCATE AND REACH OUT TO THE VOTERS AND WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF TIME!

let the investigation happen AFTER we beat this son-of-a-bitch to a fucking pulp.

that is all. *flame away*

2. It could be a way to pay off the national debt
Come up with a $100 tax per time a RW'er brings up "Rather", "CBS", or "Swift Boat". The debt could be paid of in he next week.

3. Rove wants to move from Dubya to Dan
If everyone focuses on Rather, they won't look at Dubya (he's always done this sort of thing and gotten away with it). When you see polls about Dan Rather being fired on MSNBC, etc., you know who is behind this.

5. This is NOT about TANG/Rather anymore than the "France" thing was about
France.
It's about dirty tricks, freedom of the press and other trivial things like that.
And for once, looks like the DNC is doing something right.

6. Yesterday I was fired up after hearing Kerry's Iraq speech.
I thought, finally! Now we're getting somewhere.
I logged on to DU and the top five posts were CBS/TANG.
It burst my bubble, I just turned the computer off.

if its linked to rove, or the smear boats, or this swinger dirty trickster, it just might stick to president presenile dementia.

the bushies know how to politic, but they have no fucking clue how to govern.

8. but BUSH WAS FOR THE WAR and tried to get out of it.
Edited on Tue Sep-21-04 05:50 PM by jonnyblitz
It's much different if you were AGAINST THE WAR and tried to get out of it, IMHO! That being said, I COMPLETELY agree with you on this. I NEVER followed the minutae of all of this. IT COMPLETELY DISTRACTS from the current issues at hand. :thumbsup: :hi:
