Oh this IS funny. Drudge is plenty reliable when I quoted from it to say that Elliott was reported to have recanted his story. But oh dear God it isn't nearly so credible when they also report the opposite. Give me a freakin break.:rofl

Considering the fact that YOU are quoting a reporter that WORKS for KERRY/EDWARDS, you have a long way to go before you start piously talking about your sources vs. those of everyone else.:rolleyes:

Martin Baron, editor of The Boston Globe, said in a statement: "Regarding George Elliott's statements on John Kerry's military service, which ran in the Globe this morning, the Globe stands by the article. The quotes attributed to Mr. Elliott were on the record and absolutely accurate."

The Bush administration distanced itself from the advertisement on Thursday but did not condemn it. "We have not and we will not question Sen. Kerry's service in Vietnam," said White House spokesman Scott McClellan.


Drudge is NOT a credible source. Reuters, UPI, AP and the like are.

Is Reuters a credible source? Right, you said it was...

Here is the part you left out of the SAME Reuters article!

Quote
Inundated with calls to verify the statement, Elliott grew media shy and said through his wife he would not talk. Earlier in the day, Mrs. Elliott said her husband was playing golf and would call back when he returned in the afternoon.

Elliott later issued another affidavit -- witnessed and notarized -- this time saying he was misquoted by the Globe and reaffirming his belief that Kerry has "not been honest about what happened in Vietnam."

Elliott also wrote: "Had I known the facts, I would not have recommended Kerry for the Silver Star for simply pursuing and dispatching a single wounded, fleeing Viet Cong."



:rofl

Yes, Reuters is a credible source. Did you want me to Rip-n-Snort the whole 2 page article? The Globe is not retracting their story, that was my point. Elliott changed his story( excuse me, I'll use the proper Republican term...Flip-Flopped).

Sounds to me like his conscience got to him, then Karl Rove did.

LOL...

So now you qouting articles very very selectivly is Rip's fault?

Pathetic.

And Karl Rove again.... First you said that Karl Rove was behind this ad.  Then you said something like that Bush campaign was "backing away" frim the advertisement - as if he had anything to do with it in the first place. Now you are saying Karl Rove is pressuring the guy...

Maybe, just maybe Ellit was misqouted by the guy. Remember the Boston Globe did not write that article. The guy who wrote the articole and condiucted the interview WORKS FOR JOHN KERRY!
Would you trust an article written by Karl Rove? Didnt think so...

This is all he said to the globe?

In Friday's Boston Globe, Elliott was quoted as saying: "It was a terrible mistake probably for me to sign the affidavit with those words. I'm the one in trouble here."

So all he's saying is he didnt completly agree with the wording that kerry shot the VC in the back.....but still stands by his convictions that he doesnt rate a silver star?

I'm not sure I see the big deal here.

When drudge shows a photocopy of an affidavit by Elliot, signed and notorized TODAY, do you consider that a reliable source?

Drudge is NEVER a credible source. Any topic, any story, any time.
Might as well quote The National Enquirer or Weekly World News.

Or rely on an article written by a Kerry campaign publicist...

Anyway you shouldnt worry about Drudge. Reuters reported how Elliot feels that he was grossly misqouted and misrepresented by the Kerry campaign owned writer of that article.

RPM, let me tell you what reliable source means:

It means any source you trust, but that meaning is valid only on a personal level.

It means any source document, period.  Photocopies are all you get until the transporter is patented, sorry.

First person quote.  This is the format:

Joe Blow said, "I report for Duty"

These are not the format:

Joe blow was quoted as saying, "I report for Duty".

Un-named anything.
