Dan Rather , there's something I need to get off my chest.

George W. Bush Was AWOL, But What’s “Truth” Got to Do With It?

Dan Rather and Mary Mapes weren't the first to report that George W. Bush was AWOL during Vietnam. But they screwed up so badly they were the last.

You know what, guy... you can go on all day, but screaming about something that happened 35 years earlier when everyone was finding creative ways to avoid Vietnam

Bush served. That more than Trump did. It's more than Biden did. It's more than Obama did (although he came of age during the volunteer military). It's more than Slick Willy did.

Bush couldn't go AWOL because there's no AWOL designation in the National Guard. At worst, he could be an unsatisfactory participant in a Unit Training Assembly (UTA), and have been coded for administrative action, such as a transfer to the IRR (Individual Ready Reserve). There's no evidence this happened.

The dumb bastards eat this lie up. It's embarrassing how ignorant most people in the US are on what form of Government we have. The US is a Constitutional Republic and the Founders where very clear about that. The Constitution mentions the Republic but nowhere in the document does it have the word Democracy.

People have been tricked into thinking if you didn't act or vote a certain way that you are going to lose something the US has never been.

Quit with the fascist bullshit.

The US is a Democracy.

Always has been, and hopefully always will be,

Why else would we have put so much effort into spreading it?

Dan Rather is guilty of providing and defending forged documents lying about former President Bush. Anything he posts us malarkey, as President Biden would say.

The Killian documents controversy (also referred to as Memogate or Rathergate[1][2]) involved six documents containing allegations about President George W. Bush's service in the Texas Air National Guard in 1972–73, allegedly typed in 1973. Dan Rather presented four of these documents[3] as authentic in a 60 Minutes II broadcast aired by CBS on September 8, 2004, less than two months before the 2004 presidential election, but it was later found that CBS had failed to authenticate them.[4][5][6] Several typewriter and typography experts soon concluded that they were forgeries.[7][8] Lieutenant Colonel Bill Burkett provided the documents to CBS, but he claims to have burned the originals after faxing them copies.[9]

That's nice kid.

Totally meaningless in this context but then your posts usually are.

You have anything real?

It's like quoting Josef Mengele on medical safety

My god you people are stupid.

Comparing Rather and Mengele? I mean for real?

Damn you people are stupid.

1. Enough with Both-sides-ism

When one side lies intentionally and repeatedly, they are no longer entitled to the benefit of the doubt. They should be held to account, right away. Do not simply repeat the narratives they spew.

Indeed – ‘both sides’ are not ‘the same.’

Republicans are unique in their reprehensible campaign of disinformation, conspiracy theories, and lies.

All true.

Quit with the fascist bullshit.

One alternative to Democracy is Fascism and that is exactly what the US is striving for.

The US is a Democracy.

No, it isn't.

Always has been ...

Never has been.

Why else would we have put so much effort into spreading it?

That's exactly what you said about Communism and the Red Hoard.
The US is a Fascist nation. You prevented Democracy in places such as Vietnam and Grenada and Chile, etc. You destroyed Democracy in places such as Iran and Ukraine, etc. And you've tried to destroy Democracy in Cuba, Russia, etc. The only thing the US is spreading is Fascism. Deal with it.

Yes! Rather is as much of a credible journalist as Mengele is a doctor

2. Prioritize Live Fact-Checking

Rigorous and robust fact-checking is the best defense against misinformation, intentional lies, and deflection.
If Trump says the sky is green, the story isn’t that the sky is now green; the story is that the sky is still blue and Trump got it wrong.

The problem is no matter how often the lies of Trump and others on the right are exposed to be lies, conservatives will continue to propagate their lies and attack those who fact check.

 

[GLASNOST]

The problem is no matter how often the lies of the geriatric zombie Biden and his equally duped supporters are exposed to be lies, they will continue to deny their exposed corruption.

The USA is a Democracy. Always has been. The tRumpling effort to deny that is fascism at its worst.

The only question in my mind is are you simply a gullible rube or are you deliberately spreading fascist propaganda.

Why don't you go tell a WWII vet that the US isn't democracy? How do you think he's gonna react to that?

You're a whack-job.

Yup, just look at all the morons right here trying to pretend the US isn't a Democracy.

How the fuck is correctly calling the US a Constitutional Republic fascism ? Right more of the "everyone who disagrees with me is a Nazi". You people are tragically stupid.

Historically speaking the Romans put a lot of effort in spreading their Republic also. I know knowledge isn't your thing but you could at least try.

Good question but I think he's only trolling to get a reaction.

Right more of the "everyone who disagrees with me is a Nazi".

Exactly, "With us or against us".

You people are tragically stupid.

Simply put ..................... yes.
