Wikipedia Rathergate Revisionists

Speaking of historical revisionism, idiot leftists are continuing their campaign to rewrite Wikipedia entries about the phony Rathergate documents; to date, their edits have been quickly reverted to the truth, but they just keep coming back with more nonsense.

Here’s the latest attempt, which took place today: Dan Rather - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Rabidly conservative editors of this entry want you to believe that the media [8] [9], and all bloggers [7], widely believe that the documents are forgeries that were created in Microsoft Word and then repeatedly photocopied or faxed to make them look aged [8]. This is despite the
fact that you can not shift the baseline of individual characters in Microsoft Word.

On Thursday September 20, 2007 Rather was interviewed on Larry King Live commenting “Nobody has proved that they were fraudulent, much less a forgery. … The truth of this story stands up to this day.” In addition, Bush’s lackluster performance in the Air National Guard has
never been seriously questioned.

“Fake but accurate:” still the mantra of the ignorant fools who promote these lies.

UPDATE at 9/27/07 10:03:03 am:

LGF reader “Winslow Leach, the composer” tells the sad story of Danny Boy:

Danny Boy

Oh Danny boy, the loony bin is calling;
You’ve dug your grave, yet still you dig some more.
Your mind is gone, and all the folks are laughing;
To Bedlam you must go forevermore.

But still you claim the memos are legitimate,
And now your fame, to infamy has changed.
Or did you say they’re counterfeit but accurate?
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, you are deranged.

And when you claim, though all the folks are laughing,
That you were wrongly scuttled from your throne,
You just compound the level of your gaffing,
And strike us harder in the funny bone.

And when in court, you testify so righteously
That CBS did treat you so unfair,
The throbbing proof will ruin you, litigiously,
And so, of flying countersuits you’d best beware.

Oh Danny boy, Ms. Mapes, Ms. Mapes is calling;
The two of you, a lovely couple make,
For Mary girl is equally delusional,
And such dementia’s very hard to fake.

And so your waltz of lunacy goes whirling on,
Your dissolution, plain for all to see.
Or could it be you really know what’s going on,
And simply lack all vestige of integrity?

Oh Danny boy, your courage is incredible;
You have the nerve to play the victim card.
And even though fake memos are indelible,
You still maintain this comical canard.

And though you failed to inculpate the President,
And you engaged in journalistic fraud,
You seek a multi-million-dollar settlement;
Oh Danny boy, such courage leaves us overawed.
Oh Danny boy, your “courage” leaves us overawed.
