[Alizaryn]

Should he be fired or not is the question.

[Karenca]

1. kick,,,pls. vote :)). ........nt

[seito]

2. Warning

There is a VERY disturbing image on that page I think it goes with this headline "God and the president" :puke:

[Alizaryn]

4. LOL , I've been listening to Scarborough bad mouth him, he

is telling people to vote. (Hoping they vote for him to be fired I am sure.)

[SueZhope]

7. yes that is a very scary picture

he is worshiping a god just not sure
what kind of god it might be. :evilfrown:

[Blue_In_AK]

22. I wish I had been warned

before I went there. Ew-w-w-w-w-w-w Gross.

Ed ... hey, my question says do you think the Iraq election will be held on 1/31. What's up??

[peekaloo]

34. "lean on God to lead America".

Typical slacker that Bu$h. Can't wait for his "Fear and Loathing" moment...."look what GOD made me do". :o

[mdb]

61. You know...

I don't even watch that garbage anymore. Pre-election was a bit different to watch than todays blackout of the election, but still was always getting PO'd listening.

I now look at these shows like a blog for Bush or a Repub forum talking garbage. I don't go to those web sites just as I don't listen to those shows. And I suggest we all do the same.

[RoeBear]

3. He's no friend to us

so which way are you suggesting we vote?

[Alizaryn]

6. Me? He should NOT be fired. IMO

[fearnobush]

11. Some of us believe he was set up by Rove.

Rove has a history of planting false smear on his own candidates to make the opposition look bad.

[RoeBear]

52. You are possibly right

it still doesn't make him our friend

[NationalEnquirer]

44. Rather is an opportunist.

I know they think he is liberal, and probably he is, but for a FACT, if it suits him, he will toe their line anyways! Where were his remarkable investigative reporting skills BEFORE the war?<P>Bah, I am not voting for him either way.

[ezee]

5. Now at 72% to fire

[Osamasux]

9. 69% to fire, only 938 responses

[Vektor]

8. Oh, this has SO been freeped.

Can't they get a life? Picking on a 74 year old man for trying to do his job...

I guess it makes the Re-pube-lickins feel good to scream for his head on a silver platter because he dared suggest Shrub might have been less than honest regarding his time in the Texas Air National Guard.

Yet it's totally ok for Sinclair to slander a decorated war hero who actually volunteered for his military service.

[JoMama49]

10. I voted no, but the kookaid heads are in there big time n/t

[Vektor]

12. They always are...

...like flies to feces.
And they have been known to use programs that allow multiple votes...

[candy331]

13. Perhaps firing might be good for him then maybe hecould use his ti

time to find the real stories needed to get the impeachment hearings going.That would place him in the book of history to never be erased.

[jimshoes]

14. If people are to be fired for

acting on information in a bogus document, let's not stop with Dan Rather, I believe someone else acted on some bogus document and now 1359 American GI's are dead. Let's fire that idiot. The killer bees (MSM) are causing a diversion again.

[Alizaryn]

16. Exactly. Instead we give them medals!!!

[Pacifist Patriot]

36. and promotions.

[garybeck]

17. Rather was "Roved"....

compare what happened to Rather with the thing Rove did in TX, planting a bug in his own office. Do not they stick the same?

[lonestarnot]

38. Rovered

[rdmccur]

18. Voted and it's 66-34

[helderheid]

19. did

we're way behind

[Alizaryn]

20. At least we represented ourselves, I'm sure the Yes's will be

overwhelming. His audience would mostly include that mindset of people. I'd have never noticed it but had the television on as background noise after watching Olbermann, "Scarborough" is boring, he only likes his own voice, never gives anyone with facts from the other side represent themselves, just cuts them off.

[rdmccur]

21. Then tells them they're changing the subject

if they make a good counterpoint!
What a clown.

[Helga Scow Stern]

23. I voted. n/t

[zann725]

24. What ARE they clamoring about? He plans to retire in March anyway.

Do they want him fired with a few weeks left, so that he won't get the pension he's worked for his whole life?

Enough. The guy's been punished enough for telling the truth (eve with Rove's faulty docs).

Every time I think the Repug's have gone way too far, they go even further.

[Carolab]

25. No. Without question. No. n/t

[Peace Patriot]

26. 63% fire, 37% don't fire--we're having an effect (or other fair people...

...combined with us are).

Am I crazy, or is this the rudest, most inappropriate, lowest, more disgusting piece of tripe journalism that any "reputable" news organization has ever devised--a poll by one major network on whether or not ANOTHER major network's employee should be fired???!!!

And why hold Dan Rather responsible? He's not an editor or writer or investigator. He depends on a news organization. If something is that wrong, they all should be fired, not just the guy who puts his face on TV.

It's so low and absurd, I almost didn't vote. But Rove is such a scumbag and Nazi propagandist and hit man, I couldn't help but defend a victim.

This whole thing goes back to the torture photos. CBS put them on TV. The planted fake doc was the revenge (and also intended to head off the true story of Bush's dereliction and desertion of his duty).

We tend to go along from day to day, and forget what happened last month, or yesterday. But if you think back over the last, oh, three or so years, back to 9/11, it's a scary picture, altogether. Think about it. We have "black ops" raging in our very midst, controlling our elections, hitting journalists and whole news organizations, ruining people, probably killing off a Senator or two (Wellstone, Carnahan), sending anthrax through the mail to Congressmen, busting innocent people for nothing--carrying them off into the night (that lawyer in Oregon and the Spanish fingerprint thing), arresting Guantanamo Bay chaplains, smearing them in the newspapers as having committed treason then dropping all charges...

It's hard to remember it all, to keep the dots connected...to keep present in one's mind what we're dealing with here.

This stupid poll reminded me of it.

[genieroze]

27. Done.

[icehenge]

28. 62 / 38 done

[tandem5]

29. big media ignores us... and I'm supposed to come to the rescue of this...

spineless corporate SOB who, at the first hint of Rovian spin, wiggles his way out of trouble with a few made-up Texas euphemisms?? Puleeze!

[grasswire]

30. Look, sonny....

...maybe you ought to read up on the career of Dan Rather. He went after Richard Nixon. He went after Chuck Colson. He went after Bush the elder. Pulled no punches. Made them furious. He's not just a news reader. He's one of the most fearless journos in a long time.

[tandem5]

31. yep... what a shame - a career in the past tense...

But what else is new...

Journalism is in the past tense.

Accountability is in the past tense.

Democracy is in the past tense.

[Rebecca]

32. please vote, he's losing!

40% no

[Darkhawk32]

40. It's been Freeped... kickety, kick, kick... n/t

[righteous1]

41. To be intellectually honest with oursleves, just ask, if the

same type of piece had been aired against JK would you think differently. My answer is yes, so therefor I believe he should be fired

[Freddie Stubbs]

46. I agree

We would be screaming for blood.

[Philly Buster]

59. I agree with you

The story wasn't properly vetted. It was shoddy journalism and Rather was the one who pushed it yet he stays and others down the chain get fired. It isn't right.

[grasswire]

62. I don't think you understand what happened

The basis of the story was true. Bush WAS AWOL. The substance of the documents was true.

Did you know that?

[Philly Buster]

68. I'm not a fan of the "fake but accurate" defense

It's no excuse for sloppy work

[MellowOne]

42. I'm disappointed!

I wanted to vote yes to fire Bush.

Ouch, I would hate to be in Bush's shoes on judgement day when he faces God. God doesn't take to kindly to being used.

[Kota]

43. 41% no

[il_lilac]

45. done

41% no- keep kicked

[Freddie Stubbs]

47. New question now up

Do you think Prince Harry's written apology is adequate?

[texpatriot2004]

48. 42% say NO 58% say YES please vote in the freeped out poll

[Ignis]

56. Done. (nt)

[Catchawave]

57. 44% No

[demo dutch]

58. Wrote a letter to CBS, that it's an outrage that noone it losing their

job over giving false intelligence on WMD's in Irag, instead the MSM is focusing on Dan Rather using a "false document" eventhough the information contained in the document is true!

[dmac]

66. Instead I wrote Scarborough and pointed out

"Your assessment of who eats first in the military may be true when it comes to eating but there is no doubt it is even more true when it comes to discipline. The privates and low-level officers definitely go down first, and the top, as you say, eat their own, and are themselves excused. How is this different from the CBS scenario? (consider Abu Ghraib . . . )"

[demo dutch]

71. I had written Scarborough also with pretty much the same

[Ryder911]

60. still 44% No. eom

[smartvoter]

63. 45% no. nt

[super simian]

64. It's now 55 yes to 45 no.

And he should definately not be fired!!! I'm sure Joe Q. Public doesn't have a clue what went on behind the scenes at CBS. IMHO Dan was set up so that they could put the kabosh on his anti-Bush agenda. What are people being so vindictive about? Sheesh!
