So a Right winger brought up "Dan Rather" as a response to the Sherrod smears...

And I have a great response:

Cool, so you agree that FOX should fire Sean Hannity, right?

1. They did the same thing to Rather

as they did to Sherrod.

His story was accurate, even though the one document wasn't.

2. One document was not authenticated.

Never proved it was a forgery. The witness, who said her boss felt pressure to go easy on shit-fer-brains, said she "could not authenticate" one of the documents.

3. Tell Noah about The Flood.

With ya, but my response shuts 'em up or makes them look like hypocrites-and does not allow them to deflect the deabte back to "the librul media does it too" bologna.

All I am saying is that if this is "just like" Dan Rather, then a conservative should agree that Sean Hannity should be fired.

4. What FOX did was even worse-at least the Rather story had facts behind it.

You are right- "Rathergate", when you break it down, is another example of FOX news distorting the entire context of a story.

It seems to be the only example conservatives have when it comes to "Librul media making stuff up"- so I'll just say:

"Fine- if this is like 'Rathergate', then that means you think Hannity should be fired too."
