Bernard Goldberg reports that on page 130 of the CBS investigation into the Dan Rather falsified documents on the Air National Guard service of President Bush, the producer of the show knew prior to airing the story that President Bush had volunteered to fly missions in Vietnam. The whole point of the report was to show President Bush as a draft dodger who had been secreted away into the Air National Guard to keep him out of Vietnam. Keep in mind that this story was released during the 2004 campaign in which John Kerry looked like a legitimate challenger to the President and much was made over Kerry's lying about his record in Vietnam by the "Swiftboat Veterans for Truth." Of course, some people beleive Bush somehow stole that election.
Not that I should be surprised by this but its just another brutal example of how far the left will go to smear the right. The very history we read in school has been distorted by liberals so that now we associate Senator Joseph McCarthy with the blacklisting of Hollywood actors, directors and producers. Sean Penn appears to base his entire political philosophy on his father being blacklisted. Of course, the blacklist was a result of the HOUSE, not Senate, Unamerican Activities Committee and HUAC was run by Democrats. But then, what does truth matter?
