BushGuardaugust1 memo - a FAKE
CBS, self | 9/9/04 | Carl Donath

Posted on 09/09/2004 2:09:48 PM PDT by ctdonath2

Proof the CBS document BushGuardaugust1.pdf is a FAKE:

Original text, slightly adjusted for rectangular fit:

Same text, screen capture of document written in MS Word 2002 with no effort to match original aside from document width:

Overlapping images, with original as B/W negative:

Aside from slight warping presumably due to distortion introduced by a low-quality photocopier, the two texts line up exactly. The "30+ year old proof" against Bush is a fraud.

Brit Hume and Byron York are talking about this (the superscript, etc.)right now. CBS is not returning Byron's calls! LOL

LOL! Byron York just told Brit that he's been trying to contact CBS about all the "peculiarities" in these "documents," and they have yet to return his call.

Carl, I think you can make a better fit if you change the number 1 on your first line to the letter L. It accounts for the spacing to be more exact.

I experimented on my word program and I think found answer. If you use the letter l instead of the number 1, in word you get an exact sample of spacing that is in the orginal letter.

Do you work at Fox News Channel?

Brit just described your exhibits exactly, he said a FNC engineer did it today.

He described the font type & line lengths matching and also the overlay technique you used.

Cool!

Brit covered this pretty good. Give him time to get more by tomorrow. I was hoping Byron York would talk about his excellent article today, but I know with time so short on the segments the authenticity of the documents was most important.

They are two different fonts. Look at the lowercase "t" in each example. One is curved; the other is not.

I think this amateur forensics is extremely silly and counterproductive. If you really want to help Bush, shut up about "proving" anything.

This just shows me how stupid democrats are. They used a computer to compose a fake 1973 memo? How dumb can you get?

It is a reflection of what the elite media and the Dems really think of the intellect of the American people at large. I for one am insulted.

The originals should now be examined as well as other Killian originals in the same time frames.

"This might actually be the proudest moment / best effort in Freeper history."

It's right up there but let's not forget that 5 years ago, we were instrumental in getting articles of impeachment voted out of judiciary and onto the House floor, where they passed. We went to the steps of the Capitol, raised hell, distributing Alamo Girl's Downside Legacy to all the legislators, etc. Congressman Barr stated the actions we took were crucial to getting Clinton impeached. Let me tell you, Lockbar, I'm pretty proud of that.

Good analysis. In WORD you can go up to Format, Font, and then you can remove the superscipt. Removing the superscript, leaves the gap between the 1 and the st.

This is getting very, very interesting.

Brit's all over it too. FOX reproduced the documents on MS Word and overlayed them and they matched exactly.

Byron York was on. Said the Boston Globe article is a lie.

He also said that he had an expert look at the documents and he thought it "could have been done on a typewriter but had absolutely no explanation for the superscript". He also said that several other experts had looked at the documents and have stated that they were done on MS Word.

The superscript is the smoking gun.

I love Brit!

NOW he says that Sharon Bush told the WP that she did NOT tell Kitty that GWB did drugs at Camp David. She doesn't know where they got it from.

Go Brit!

In the CBS version, in paragraph 1 the abbreviation "1st" has no space after the "1" but the "st" did not jump to superscript as it should in MS Word. In your recreation, it appears you have put a space after the "1" which is why your "st" doesn't jump either.

Its not a number 1, its the letter l.
