Dan Rather nails it, as usual....

1. I STILL feel awful that he was fired for saying the TRUTH about Sgrub's nilitary service ! He's

still one of the BEST journalists around.

[LiberalLovinLug]

7. We, well Democrats doing the impeachment, need to be wary of fake evidence.

Especially if its too good to be true.
Rather and the truth, got a rough ride back then not because what he reported on was false, that W went awol, but that the report was not the original copy, and so the possibility that it could have been doctored, made it moot. This after Dan swore by it. So he had to pay the price.

I can totally see the GOP covertly getting some salacious 'smoking gun' transcript or notes they themselves made up into the hands of Schiff without giving away that it came from them. And as soon as Schiff or others in the Democratic party, start using it as part of their evidence, it is revealed as some fake document. Then the 24/7 Fox News onslaught how this proves its all a deep state run Democratic coup. Giving Senate Republicans the excuse to dismiss the case outright. And gives them great ammunition in the next election as well.

12. they tried to rather rachel.

same deal, but they had rather's experience to guide them, and they didnt fall for it.

[dustyscamp]

21. Yeah, we need to be very careful and not fall for any Con tricks

[Laura PourMeADrink]

18. Always wondered what he didn't get rehired. He must

Not have wanted to like Brian Williams.

24. Look at it this way:

Now he's free to make these great comments for us all to appreciate... and he will certainly never starve. He's a national treasure.

[Gothmog]

3. K & R...for truth...nt

[gratuitous]

4. Oh, and just for fun?

[ffr]

5. How news would be so much more respected had CBS stood behind such a man.

[Grasswire2]

6. aghh. Rather used the "sir" moniker that Trump fancies so much. nt

[Hermit-The-Prog]

8. quite deliberately, I suspect

[CaptYossarian]

25. Maybe Rather should be knighted.

We'll call him "Sir Sarcasm".

[calimary]

9. Great quote. Great newsman.

[smirkymonkey]

10. National treasure.

[blueinredohio]

[Evolve Dammit]

13. Well said. Book 'em Danno! I nominate Rather to head up the re-instatement of Fairness Doctrine

under the new Dem President With Subpoena power! Hey I can dream, right? He's always been a truth teller.

When we screw up we own it, apologize and, in many cases, resign. Think Dan Rathers, Al Franken, and how many others? When they screw up it’s deny, obfuscate, accuse, and refuse to relinquish control. I think we have to stop apologizing and capitulating.

[soldierant]

17. I think THEY should change.

Of course, that means we need to get some teeth. Somehow. Because they won't change until they are compelled to. So we need to find ways to compel them.

[robbob]

19. Agreed, but the strategy of showing them how decent human beings

are SUPPOSED to behave doesn’t seem to be working.

[soldierant]

27. Isn't that what I said?

[cp]

15. Quite!

Thank you, Dan Rather.

[H2O Man]

16. Recommended.

[patphil]

20. If it came down to Trump or Rather, I'd rather believe Dan.

[warmfeet]

22. SOP for repiggies these days.

Deny, deflect and accuse everyone else of that which you, yourself, are guilty. The fucktard repiggies eat it up. They love the orange asshole and the damage done.

We had better dismantle this, very quickly, or we may not be able to recover from the damage done. NOT EVER.

Not to sound like a used car salesman, or any salesman for that matter, but "TIME IS RUNNING OUT ON THIS DEAL, ACT NOW."

Time to remove this asshole, convict this asshole, imprison this asshole, is running short.

[Paka]

23. He's an American treasure.

26. And Melania's immigration records, parents too
