Posted: 9/10/2004 4:27:55 AM EDT

Reading their reactions to the new documents, I have been amazed at the amount of denial and rejection of any possiblity of reality, but this guy is nuts:

"If it was an IBM Selectric, he could have just changed the typeball to one with a smaller font size, manually raised the platen 1/2 a line, and typed a "t" and an "h".

Then, he could have replaced the original typeball, and returned the platen to the original position.

Also note, that no special "th" character is needed."

He really thinks this is a valid train of thought? Who is going to do that? WHO?

The biggest political story of the day: CBS tried to pass some blatently forged memos that bad mouthed Bush's Guard duty and was caught red-handed.

You wouldn't bother doing that if you were just typing the document, but you WOULD do that if you were attempting to FORGE a document to try to cover the other forgeries...and besides, it doesn't explain the TIMES ROMAN FONT!!!

What bureaucratic paper-pusher is going to go through all that for a superscript? These guys need muzzles to go along with their blinders.

Yeah, yeah, it was Karl Rove, EARLY in his career when he was working as an admin clerk in the Air Force. That's the ticket, it's a long range plot by that evil genius Karl Rove...

What a bunch of clueless n00bs at CBS. Sheesh.

Morons.

All that is irrelevant when the document can be retyped on a modern PC in Word, printed, and overlayed on top of the original with all the text lining up perfectly. The probability that it would align so perfectly to ANY machine that created a document back then is virtually zero.

CBS was complicit in a fraud. If so many average people online can so readily see it, they could have also. They chose to go with the story to wound GWB. CBS News has ZERO integrity, and should die a flaming death in the ratings.

Have CBS released the name of their "document expert" who validated the memos yet?

Yup, they say we are the ones that lie and cheat, yet all the while, they lie and cheat to try and prove that we lie and cheat!

What also gets me is how much they HATE the media for being against them about everything. Lord...

At least tie them up in court and use their resources for libel and slander suits.

I think the Justice Dept. should arrest Dan RAthER during the evening news, haul him off the set and hold him as an enemy combatant, lock him up with his buddy Sadam and they can swap stories and be butt buddies.

But Dan Rather would like that. How about instead, he is lectured too, non-stop by 3rd graders on the meaning of patriotism and integrity? Give him a few months of that and he will kill himself.

What? Like you guys have never gone to all this trouble to write a simple memo

Let's see - forging government documents. . .isn't that a crime? Even if they are memos, they were supposedly created by a government offical - one even considered an "order". . .

Give'm Hell boys here is a link to CBS feed back

[#22]

(eta)sent through above link:

Mr. Rather sacrificed what little journalistic integrity he may have had to air reports, based on VERY suspect documents, critical of President Bush. Reports are now being made that these documents were OBVIOUS fakes.

A journalist of his standing should resign over this nonsense.

I do not watch the CBS Evening News. I will not. When and if I discover who advertises during this show, I will contact their management and inform them that I will not purchase their products or services until Mr. Rather's employment with CBS is ended.

Perhaps Mr. Goldberg was right.

Sincerely,

He really thinks this is a valid train of thought? Who is going to do that? WHO?

So he's suggesting someone in 1973 went through the effort to put a superscript "th" in a minor, inconsequential document so the document would match the fonts in a software program which wouldn't be invented for many years? It couldn't be known in 1973 that these documents would ever be seen again, so why the effort for this document?

Edit: Fixed year and some grammar.
