Suma, Please answer the following hypothetical question.

If Prez Bush went out & told a series of horrific lies about
a political opponent during an election campaign that would
be devastating to their re-election chances. Then he:

- claimed his staff had thoroughly investigated the
allegations & insisted it was all true;

- then built on the initial lies to draw additional false
conclusions;

- told the lies on national TV repeatedly,

- insisted that he had "unimpeachable sources" who had
verified that accuracy of all of the lies,

- viciously attacked the credibility & integrity of anyone
who challenged the veracity of his lies,

- continued to insist his lies & the story they were built
upon were 100% accurate, even as evidence mounted proving his
story was built completely on lies,

- lie about numerous experts who warned him that his original
lies were really lies before he went public with the story,

- repeatedly lie & misrepresent the results from other
experts who never validated the original lies,

- as the lies became too evident to ignore, insist that even
though the story was built on nothing but lies, the story
itself was "fake but accurate" &

- finally, when the evidence became overwhelming that it was
nothing but lies, deceit & intentional misrepresention;

- Bush goes public with an apology stating only that he was
sorry he didn't fact check a little better, but ignores
everything else he did & said & the harm it caused:

Would you forgive him unconditionally like you have forgiven Dan Rather?

Be honest now.
