You ARE seeing the howls of protest and screams because it's ALL about W!

Haven't you heard? The memos are fake, but accurate. They are screaming that from the mountaintops!

These messages were transmitted to Burkette's brain as he watched "I Love Lucy". He changed the last name to protect the source.

First of all, thank to the Swift Boat Veterans - the last ad "Friends" is simply devastating.

My question is simple: Why hasn't CBS issued a retraction of the 60 Minutes story?

They have admitted that they can not verify the documents, and have basically cast their source as a lunatic (oh, sorry, I guess the source is now actually the exceedingly elusive "Lucy"). Without valid documents, there is no story. It should be retracted, and an apology should be issued directly to President Bush.

McAuliffe: Will GOP Answer If They Know Whether Stone, Others Had Involvement With CBS Documents?

McAuliffe: Will GOP Answer If They Know Whether Stone, Others Had Involvement With CBS Documents?

Washington, D.C. - In response to false Republican accusations regarding the CBS documents, Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe issued this statement:

“In today’s New York Post, Roger Stone, who became associated with political ‘dirty tricks’ while working for Nixon, refused to deny that he was the source the CBS documents.

“Will Ed Gillespie or the White House admit today what they know about Mr. Stone’s relationship with these forged documents? Will they unequivocally rule out Mr. Stone’s involvement? Or for that matter, others with a known history of dirty tricks, such as Karl Rove or Ralph Reed?”


Here's the Post link:

Now THIS really strains credulity!!!

We already know that Burkett, a Bush-hater, is the source for the forged documents, and that CBS asked him to call the Kerry campaign. If Burkett had called the Kerry campaign, if any Republican were the source of the forged documents, the Kerry campaign would obviously have told Burkett not to trust him!

Besides, if some GOP activist had wanted to plant false documents, why would he go through Burkett, and not give the documents directly to CBS? Would a GOP activist trust Burkett? Why take the risk that Burkett would detect a fraud, then tell ALL the media, not just CBS, that a fraud had been committed? And if a GOP activist had passed false documents to Burkett, why isn't Burkett himself blaming someone (other than Lucy Ramirez) to save his own skin?

Besides, CBS defended the authenticity of the documents for 12 days before finally caving to outside pressure. Why would some GOP activist, shortly after the RNC, with the President ahead in the polls, take the risk that CBS would blast away at the President until the election based on a fraud?

Face it, Terry McAuliffe--this was a Democrat operation. Whether it had connections to the Kerry campaign or only to Texas Democrats remains to be seen, but the Republicans have nothing to do with this--they just stood by their man!

on the NBC local news here in DC last night they showed the protesters at CBS headquarters in NYC - Maybe it was some of our crew here - they were holding up signs like the 'Unfit for Command' cover of the book but instead it had Rather on it and said 'Unfit to Report.' Hilarious. It was a small group, and usually groups that size that are protesting NEVER get media coverage, especially not local to them. Good job.

That IS hilarious! Figures it got NO coverage! I would of loved to have seen that! Just sent my 4th donation to this wonderful website - keep up the GREAT work! Love those ads!

I've been away last 2 days and just now catching up on news. I checked
on links that "Sleepless" passed along and with those ties to Reuben Hinajosa, there is just more than meets the eye. I've followed every possible blogg link, but not much is coming up yet.

What keeps my interested is this time line. According to Burkett, he got the docs. from either Lucy Ramirez or the man at the rodeo. This was in
March. He says the then made copies and "burned the originals". LOL !
I'm not buying that one.

On Aug. 21, there was some contact with CBS....then Aug. 26 was the day
Max Clelland showed up at the Bush ranch in Crawford Tx. with the entire press copr following behind.

On Sept 8, Dan Rather breaks this story...and sometime in between, Mary
Mapes makes a call to Joe Lockhardt.

Having said all this....my questions would be :

1. How did Burkett get Max Clellands cell phone number ?
2. How can Lockhardt possibly not discuss the documents with Burkett ?
3. And most importantly....were the documents "altered" or "completely
forged".

My thought is why would someone alter the documents ? The only reason
I can think of is to "change the content" of the documents. I hoping the
Whitehouse already knows when all this happened and who made it happen and is just letting them step in and rub it all over before pulling the plug.

LOL....was that before or after his grand mal siezure ?
