Right wing hysterical e-mail RE: "Rathergate"
If these fucknuts are Christians, I'm :evilgrin: himself......

ALERT: Our ad demanding *accountability* from Dan Rather
and CBS News is scheduled to be published NATIONWIDE in
USA Today this Thursday, Sept. 21st!

But we still need YOUR help to cover the cost of this ad:

https://secure.cartlight.com/merchant/rightmarch/?afid=conpet

Last week, we told our members how Dan Rather and
CBS News have been caught red-handed in their blatant bias
against President Bush, by airing a story based on forged
documents. We set up our site so Americans could contact
CBS and demand accountability from the media -- and 101,056
MESSAGES were sent to CBS President Les Moonves and CBS
News itself!

Monday night, Dan Rather -- after 12 days of having everyone
else proving the documents were fake, both on internet sites
and in other media outlets -- finally admitted that CBS News
couldn't "verify" the documents in question, and "apologized"
for running the story.


Everyone else??

Yeah, right. My kids "apologize" when they're caught
stealing cookies from the cookie jar, too. They're "sorry"
they got CAUGHT -- and that's exactly what Dan Rather is
"sorry" for.

Now, independent investigations are turning up more and more
evidence that CBS News operated in collusion with the Kerry
campaign, putting the disgraced source of the forged documents,
Bill Burkett, in touch with former Sen. Max Cleland and Kerry
aide Joe Lockhart; and we had already seen the involvement of
Democratic operative Ben Barnes.

"Rathergate", "Memogate", whatever you want to call it -- it's
OUTRAGEOUS that a network news operation has deliberately tried
to alter the outcome of a presidential election, due to the
bias of Dan Rather and his cronies.


As opposed to Bush's COUSIN calling Florida for FAUX News, right?

NOW is the time to turn up the heat. You're on the cutting
edge, because you bypass the liberal mainstream media to
get the REAL news. But what about the rest of America --
patriotic citizens all across this great land, using the
'net only for e-mail, where all they know is what they see
on the news and read in the paper?

Don't THEY deserve to know the truth about Dan Rather and
CBS News? And don't THEY deserve the chance to take action,
demanding to know the TRUTH about the bias of Dan Rather,
and the lies of CBS News?

NOW they can have that chance!

Just like we've done several times before, we're planning
to take out *another* NATIONWIDE ad in USA Today, --
telling the whole country about Dan Rather's liberal,
anti-Bush bias, and telling them to DEMAND that CBS News
come clean and REIN HIM IN!

But to cover the cost of that NATIONWIDE ad, we need
YOUR help now:

https://secure.cartlight.com/merchant/rightmarch/?afid=conpet

As you know, Dan Rather and CBS News used documents (now
proven to be forgeries) during a Sept. 8 "60 Minutes II"
segment in an incompetent attempt to smear President George
W. Bush's National Guard service. Clearly phony, these
"new" documents were easily debunked overnight by solid
evidence from forensic document experts, typographers and
retired military officers. One expert counts at least 50
points that suggest the documents are forgeries.


So a crazy freeper with a blog is now an "expert"??

For America's sake, such lopsided, incompetent,
unprofessional, anything-goes "reporting" must be stopped!
Americans nationwide need to demand accountability from
CBS and other networks.


As soon as you send a petition over to FAUX and Fear Channel, tell me where to sign.....

The nationwide ads will direct right-thinking Americans
to RightMarch.com, where we've made it easy for them to
tell CBS to shelve its one-sided alibis! In addition,
we'll be setting up our site so that folks can contact
their local media, demanding a thorough investigation
of "Rathergate" and the connections to the Kerry campaign.


Right thinking Americans?? More like NON-Thinking Americans

We need YOUR help to pay for this full-page ad NOW. After
blaring huge headlines last week, much of the liberal
press went silent even as evidence mounted. Now that
Rather has "apologized", there's a good chance the
mainstream media will try to ignore the big story of
anti-Bush complicity. Don't let the network wiggle off
the hook! Help make these ads possible:

https://secure.cartlight.com/merchant/rightmarch/?afid=conpet

Obviously CBS News did not check the facts, and America
has to ask... WHY? Was it due to Rather's readily apparent
anti-Bush bias that he pushed to air the groundless smear?
Was the intent to counter President Bush's jump in the
polls? And why didn't the network not take an even-handed,
in-depth look at the mounting evidence of fraud?

Glaring omissions marred Rather's weak attempt at a
"rebuttal" last Friday, including a pre-show warning by
the son of Lt. Colonel Jerry Killian, President Bush's
superior officer at the Texas Air Guard, that the documents
might be forgeries. CBS News failed to mention that warning
during the segment or in subsequent updates.

To smear the President, Rather backed a detractor at
the exclusion of first-hand experience and expertise
offered by many. The documents' Source, Bill Burkett,
is a disgruntled former National Guard officer who
suffered two nervous breakdowns and unsuccessfully
sued for medical expenses. No wonder the network
staunchly refused to admit his name for so long!

This is enough to make anyone FURIOUS.

At BEST, Rather and the CBS News staff are guilty of gross
incompetence by allowing their desire to smear the President
outweigh their professional duty to properly check the
facts.


And if you act now, we'll throw in a copy of the "Clinton Chronicles", just in case someone in your militia or KKK unit doesn't have one.....

At WORST, CBS News may be guilty of deliberately reporting
what they knew to be false, and engaging in libel and
slander against the President of the United States during
a time of war.


Fuck your pResident and fuck his war. And neither one has an ounce of legitimacy

We need to EXPOSE Dan Rather's glaring -- and deliberately
biased -- "mistake", and strike a major blow against the
mainstream liberal media! Don't let this chance get away.
We need your help NOW to reign in CBS and fight back
against these who betray the public's trust in order to
sway America with outright lies!

WILL YOU HELP US? Our members have come through before,
when we've raised enough money for nationwide USA Today
ads defending the President, opposing radical left-wing
groups like MoveOn.org, and even printing Sen. Zell Miller's
outstanding speech.

It's not cheap -- we can't afford to make this statement
to the whole country without YOUR help TODAY!

<snip>

I'll spare the further grovelling for money, but you get the general idea. These nutcases are desperate to make this shit stick to Rather & CBS, rather than to the Idiot Son of an Asshole as it should.

6. Let me sum up the entire e-mail like this:
Any news organization that DARES to report anything that is short of supremely praising of our Great Leader should be silenced forever, because that's what my misguided brain has been brainwashed into thinking by my 24-hour propaganda network.

(I'll admit that I didn't read the whole thing, but they always want to SHUT US ALL UP. And some people here say "they're not the enemy".)

8. Don't worry...Bush supporters can't read anything that long
At least, not the dolts this is target to. Someone doesn't know his marketing. They'll lost the vast majority of recipients before the twelfth or twentieth paragraph, or whatever. This is a horrendous mailing...the very hardcore will slog through it, but they're already Supreme Bushistas, and would likely send money to anything anti-Kerry.

Speaking of which...I've seen several of these lately. "Please send us MONEY to run our ad someplace!" Bullshit. It profiteering. I'd love to see some balance sheets of this sham organization...adminstrative salaries (likely for the one guy who runs this "organization") are probably 85% of their budget.

Fuck 'em. The republicans still supporting Bush are like Falwell or Swaggart followers...they'll send money for anything their man does, their so blinded by the right.

VOTE for KERRY-EDWARDS here!

11. The same with a twist
ALERT: Our ad demanding *accountability* from George W. Bush, his entire administration and Fox News is scheduled to be published NATIONWIDE in
USA Today this Thursday, Sept. 21st!

But we still need YOUR help to cover the cost of this ad:

https://secure.cartlight.com/merchant/rightmarch/?afid=...

Last week, we told our members how Fox News on more than one occasion has been caught red-handed in their blatant bias about George W. Bush and his administration. They have continually repeated the lies told by the administration and swept under the rug the forged documents used in the State of the Union address. We set up our site so Americans could contact Fox and demand accountability from the Bush administration-- and 101,056 MESSAGES were sent to Congress and Fox News itself!

George Bush -- after 2 years of having everyone
else proving the documents were fake, both on internet sites
and in other media outlets, such as CBS -- still has not admitted that the CIA, FBI nor Fox News could "verify" the documents in question, and refuses to even apologize to the American People for needlessly killing 1000+ young American citizens.

Yeah, right. Even my kids can "apologize" when they're caught
stealing cookies from the cookie jar. At least they're truely "sorry". Do our KIDS have more intelligence than the president?

Now, independent investigations are turning up more and more
evidence that Fox News is operating in collusion with the Bush
administration. We have already seen the involvement of Republican operative Karl Rove.

"Faux News", "Bushkissers", whatever you want to call it -- it's
OUTRAGEOUS that a network news operation has deliberately tried
to alter the outcome of a presidential election, due to the
bias of Rupert Murdoch and his cronies.

NOW is the time to turn up the heat. You're on the cutting
edge, because you bypass the mainstream media and go to CBS and the internet to get the REAL news. But what about the rest of America --
patriotic citizens all across this great land, using the
net only for e-mail, where all they know is what they see
on the Fox news and hear on the Rush Limbaugh show?

Don't THEY deserve to know the truth about George W. Bush and
Faux News? And don't THEY deserve the chance to take action,
demanding to know the TRUTH about the bias of Fox News ,
and the lies of George W. Bush?

NOW they can have that chance!

Just like we've done several times before, we're planning
to take out *another* NATIONWIDE ad in USA Today, --
telling the whole country about Fox News'pro-Bush bias, and telling them to DEMAND that George W. Bush come clean. IT'S TIME TO REIN HIM IN!

But to cover the cost of that NATIONWIDE ad, we need
YOUR help now:

https://secure.cartlight.com/merchant/rightmarch/?afid=...

As you know, George W. Bush used documents (now proven to be forgeries) during the Jan. 2004 "State of the Union Address" in a successful attempt to lie the American people into an illegal war in Iraq. Clearly phony, these documents were easily debunked overnight by solid evidence from the college kid who wrote them.

For America's sake, such lopsided, incompetent,
unprofessional, anything-goes "reporting" must be stopped!

of Fox News and their connections to the Bush administration.

We need YOUR help to pay for this full-page ad NOW. After
blaring objections from our world allies, and millions of Americans marching in the streets most of the press was still silent even as evidence mounted. Now that Rathergate has emerged, there's a very good chance the mainstream media will continue to ignore the big story of "Bush, the Criminal". Don't let the networks wiggle off
the hook! Help make these ads possible:

Glaring omissions marred Bush's weak attempt at convincing the rest of the world the war in Iraq was just, including a pre-speech warning by head of CIA George Tennent, that the documents might be forgeries. George W. Bush failed to mention that warning during the speech or in subsequent updates.

To help scare the country into an illegal war, Fox backed Bush at the exclusion of first-hand experience and expertise
offered by many. The documents' Source, a college kid, is just that. A college kid writing a paper for school. No wonder the network staunchly refused to admit his name for so long!

At BEST, Rupert Murdoch and the entire Fox News staff are guilty of gross incompetence by allowing their desire to boost the President
outweigh their professional duty to properly check the facts.

At WORST, Fox News may be as guilty as the Bush administration of deliberately reporting what they knew to be false, and now have the blood of 1000+ American soldiers as well as countless innocent Iraqi citizens on their hands.

We need to EXPOSE Fox News' glaring -- and deliberately
biased -- "mistake", and strike a major blow against the
mainstream media! Don't let this chance get away.

ads exposing the President, opposing radical right-wing
groups like FreeRepublic and even Sen. Zell Miller's psychotic speech.

It's not cheap -- we can't afford to make this statement
