"In essence, Rather’s willing collaboration with the Kerry campaign with the bogus memos was a direct response to the Swift Boat Vets and their well-documented charges against Kerry; Rather was just only to happy to help Kerry slant the truth."

Part one is here also.

great article Tanya , thanks for the link
verrry long read, but well done, this writer touches on a lot of history in Rather's career, and has really barbecued him...
snips~
Quote:
What the CBS report also failed to reveal, of course, was that Rather had built his entire career on being a mole and a shrill for his fellow Communists of the Howard-Deanized Democratic Party, who have been the real ones dividing this country.

his Gestapo attempt to destroy every single sitting Republican president

snips re the Bushs~
Quote:
Rather’s “poisoned relationship alone” with the Bush family – after his maniacal confrontations with former President Bush, “should have prompted Rather to recuse himself from involvement” in the non-story.
Quote:
Rather’s hatred for Bush has been so psychotic that he actively ingratiated himself in a plot to rig the 2004 election


Rather has had a long standing poison against the Bushs.
Some may recall his interview with then VP Bush when he was running for President. Worth a re-look. I had forgotten how contemptable Rather was in this interview.

Quote:
Dan Rather Video Bias
In his infamous January 25, 1988 CBS Evening News interview an aggressive Dan Rather grilled VP George Bush about Iran-Contra, repeatedly cutting him off and arguing with him. Rather declared "You've made us hypocrites in the face of the world."

That video clip is fantastic. I hope it survives as Rather's epitath. Takes me back to the old days.

Rather threatens the president a couple of times running. Bush Sr. handled him self superlatively.

Pretty funny, in a disgusting sort of way, how Rather reacts to Bush mentioning his 'walking off the set in NY'...... also how Bush concedes that everyone makes mistakes, including he George Bush. Rather never fesses up to making a mistake..... ever. Clearly he was working to rig the 92 ellection.

Rather is rather messed up.
