Dan Rather Statement On Memos

Well, well well. Dan has at last come somewhat near the truth. Bloggers can indeed feel some satisfaction in knowing that they have shot down an all-too-obvious attempt to pass off forged documents as the real deal and thus possibly change the outcome of the election with lies, fraud and deceit. But note also in Dan's statement that he is passing most of the responsibility for the debacle off onto others. He was not to blame. It wasn't his fault. No, he was the dupe of others, even though he said otherwise to a Fox reporter just the other day. It wasn't his responsibility; really.

Now I have to say that this sort of thing is indeed a joke. Does any regular person think for a second that this would fly in a normal work situation? If you pulled this sort of stunt with your boss, how long do you think it would be before you were out on your ass looking for a new job and trying to explain why? This is the sort of evasion of responsibility which led CBS to put the story on the air in the first place. And it is the result of not looking the facts with open eyes and an honest frame of mind.

CBS is, like too many other members of The Elite Media Monoculture, blinded by their leftist ideology. And the truth of the matter is that lies, fraud and deceit have been the main tools of leftist ideology ever since it came into existence. Lies are the foundation of the liberal mindset and it cannot be otherwise. All of the available evidence, as well as the writings of dozens of philosophers, economists and historians shows just how unworkable the dream of leftism is when measured against the real world results from those countries which have tried it. And because leftism is an idea which cannot be made to work in the real world, all manner of justifications must be manufactured to explain its continual failure in every place and culture where it is attempted.

Leftism cannot afford to face the facts of reality because to do so would be to admit that it is a failure and cannot be made to work. Leftists thus have adopted a mindset which is based on recognizing only those portions of reality with which they are comfortable. And as it turns out, that is a very small sliver of the world that all the rest of us live in. It is this self-imposed blindness which holds sway in the world of The Elite Media Monoculture today and it will always be so as long as people such as Dan Rather are in charge. For they do not want to see what everyone else knows is true. Dan Rather thinks that as long as he blames someone else for his blindness, all of the rest of us will not see what we obviously see. And that is a fact which is obvious to all of us, except of course for Dan Rather.
