Yet another anomoly: there is only one space between sentences (well, the last two, which are the only back to bac sentences). That is an artifact of word processing software. Typists (even hunt and peck typists) would have most likely used the traditional two spaces between sentences.

You are an awesome investigator, Buckhead, and I'm proud to be your fellow FReeper!

This thread and the posted links have been so much fun to read - you can bet I'll be forwarding the links to others.

Hillary has them LOL!!!!

She also says that none of the "ball" typewriters she ever used had special characters such as the "th" for use in "#th"".

And she's absolutely correct.

"This thread may well be referenced in history books 50 years from now."

Indeed it may. The post heard 'round the world.

Buckhead, you may well have saved Western Civilization.

No, I'm not exagerrating. Basically, I never do that.

You've put a big, fat, finger in their self-regarding eye, and a stick in Kerry's spokes, at the very least.

Who's better than you? NOBODY!

This thread may well be referenced in history books 50 years from now.

What Buckhead did is truly the epic triumph of the de-massification of the media that Alvin Toffler prophesized some 25 years ago in The Third Wave.

If we do find out that the memos were hoaxes created by a Kerry campaign operative, it will effectively DOOM Senator Kerry's campaign since American voters will suddenly become MUCH more critical of the mainstream press that seems to be so supportive of Kerry. It is also final vindication of Bernard Goldberg's two books about his criticisms of the mainstream press.

I am truly a witness to history in the making.

BUMP!!!

[Veto!]

Adding belated kudos to you for getting the ball rolling. It's now the size of CBS, and picking up even more debris as it merrily rolls right over Rather./

[paltz]

do you realize how many left wingers ya pissed off?....bwahhaaahahaha

[fhayek]

I just wanted to add my kudos, here on the early morning hours of September 11th. I hope you realize what you have done:

1. You have nailed Dan Rather and CBS. Something every conservative has wanted to do for 25 years.

2. You have added to the prestige of free republic

3. You have effected the presidential election of 2004.

And it was all caused by a font. This sure is a whacky world.

I sent a complaint to the fcc: fccinfo@fcc.gov "Complaint concerning CBS's known fraud and continuing cover-up"
Fat chance this will do anything, (and this was before the amazing CYA last night!)
I am a computer person, and I showed the .pdf's to over 10 others as a blind test and they ALL immediately saw the obvious forgery. Why didn't the well-paid brain trust at CBS?
I believe, like Hugh Hewitt and the Powerline gang, that journalists are lazy, stupid half-educated dolts -- a thoroughly worthless breed.
It's interesting that the blogosphere's high-end neighborhood is comprised of brilliant conservative lawyers and law professors, and few journalists. The journalists are just thoroughly outmatched in brain power by the blogosphere. (I am not a lawyer, but a geologist, for full disclosure's sake)

Thank you, Buckhead.

Let's remember, on 9/11, this is why the First Amendment is so important, and why it is presently under attack by the Left.

I receive e-mail from a Lt.Col. in the Marines stationed in Iraq at Camp Victory. Someone e-mailed her today regarding the forgeries and she sent his remarks to all of us. I then wrote and told her I knew who got the ball rolling and I'd send her the thread with your now famous post #47.

This thread and post #47 are now on it's way to Iraq!

Are you enjoying your (maybe more than) 15 minutes of fame, LOL?

Buckhead:

If we're judged by the company we keep, FReepers, such as yourself, are indeed great company.

See post 47

The now famous "post 47" to which ABC refers.

I think these documents are forgeries. If they were not, they could easily get many of the other reports signed by Killian during that time to see if the type is the same.

In the vein of 'connecting the dots' and tracing back the source of these documents ... I came across this posting from littlegreenfootballs Post # 431:

Post #431

After doing some research (more than CBS did) I have a forgery suspect. Is AWOL the source of these fraudulent documents? Of course this is only a suspicion and my opinion, but there are some things here that make me want to know more about the people behind this site and if they dabble in docs. I wonder if there is anything on this site that resembles the fake documents. Do you think?

Here is a quote from the site...
------------------------------
And there are the haunting voices of Lieutenant Colonel William D. Harris Jr. and Lieutenant Colonel Jerry B. Killian, both dead, whose reports state that they could not fill out Bush?s annual evaluation because, ''Lt. Bush has not been observed at this unit during the period of report.?
------------------------------

...from a page that was last updated Sunday, July 30, 2000. It is almost word for word what the fake documents said. Very strange!

Then I did a little google search for the Copyright owners Coldfeet Press which lead me to this page page which in turn lead me to this site and after skimming the crap from the turds guess where I ended up?

THAT RIGHT! The Democrats website and their Smoking Jet Campaign. Something is definitely smoking but I believe it is a burning swift boat.

BURN AND SINK BABY!

BTW, good job guys ...
