What's the most "left-wing" thing that Dan Rather ever did?
===============================================
Dan Rather once was perceived to have insulted Richard Nixon.
Nixon asked him if he was "running for something".
Rather replied, "No, Mr President, are you?"
This was perceived by the moronic ratwing as being a leftist, commie reply, and ratwing Messsiahs like Rush decided to pummel and thrash him for it.
The fact that Nixon was the smartass in this interchange completely confused them.
