Rathergate Related Complaint Against Kerry, CBS Dismissed
July 21st, 2005

The claim by the Center for Individual Freedom that the Kerry Campaign was involved in Rathergate has been thrown out by the FEC.

Election officials have thrown out a complaint against John Kerry’s presidential campaign and CBS over a now-discredited story that questioned President Bush’s National Guard service.

The Federal Election Commission, in a 6-0 ruling, said there was no reason to believe the allegations raised by the Center for Individual Freedom over the story that aired on CBS’ “60 Minutes Wednesday” in September.

The decision disclosed this week was apparently reached unanimously due to press exemption protection.

1. They should probably investigate to see

if the Bush* Campaign was involved. My guess is yes they were. The way that entire journalistic episode unfolded had the stench of KKKarl Rove all over it IMO.

2. I agree. Rove's fingerprints were probably all over that one.

I didn't even know that they were investigating Kerry on that story:shrug:
