Dan Rather retires and the religious right takes it's shots!

http://www.crooksandliars has the video segment from Hardball!

Andrea Lafferty of the Traditional Values Coalition appeared on "Hardball" with Marty Kaplan of the USC Annenberg School of Communications and took her shots at Dan.

Excerpt:

Andrea: "I don't think he likes Americans!"

Matthews: "Dan Rather doesn't like Americans?"

Andrea: 'I don't think so. I think he's a grumpy old guy."

Marty: "Andrea, you just made my point about the right wing as well as I could ever possibly make it."

Here are some of the 'values" of TVC:

"Right To Life We also believe the government has the power to take the lives of those who murder others ...


Pornography: Pornography is a progressive addiction that ruins the conscience of the person. Frequently, this person acts out his sexual fantasies by molesting children, raping girls, and committing other sexual crimes—including murder.

Discrimination And Tolerance: We are not tolerant of behaviors that destroy individuals, families, and our culture. Individuals may be free to pursue such behaviors as sodomy, but we will not and cannot tolerate these behaviors. They frequently lead to death.

Love And Hate: The Bible teaches us that we are to love our enemies and do good to those who persecute us.

I think these assholes would kick Jesus down if he were here today and said, "may he who is without sin, throw the first stone".

they kicked Jesus around when He was alive and I think the religious right of today would give His previous persecutors a run for their money. I personally find it really hard to believe that Rather was reporting a story based on a falsified document. And even in the chance that it is true, a reporter is not a lawyer, if documents and facts are going to be forged, and most likely by the conservative right, it would take a lifetime to catch all of those lies. If every decent reporter went to that extent to cover the backs of liars there would never be any reporting.

"We are not tolerant of behaviors that destroy individuals, families ..."

But war is dandy, filthy television shows are dandy, country songs about drinking and adultery and one-night stands is okey-dokey.

Right wingers in the Red States: Please, take brain out of neutral (or reverse) before putting mouth in gear.

Bush and not Dan Rather. You guys just misunderstood her.
It's george that hates America and is a grumpy old man.
:headbang:
