Have you never heard of a document scanner?
You can scan docs and then email them.
This works for old docs too.
Don't focus on this aspect, the rest of the evidence is too strong.
"Man, Karl is soooooo clever! He knew the DNC would suspect the fake Bush docs he typed up, but he also knew that Kerry would push them onto a media source. He knew, of course, that the MSM souce would question the authenticity of the docs, but he knew that they were too juicy for them not to make a prime time special out of. Are we talking strategery or what???"
Yea, I am sure glad he is on our side!
LOL!
"CBS will now turn on the Kerry camp for giving them forged documents and making them look like fools. They will run stories harmful to Kerry, and may out his campaign as the source of the documents in order to pay Kerry back for making them look stupid. Sure, they're lefties, but this is business, and politics is thrown out the window when someone threatens your profits."
That is the assumption that CBS did not know they were forgaries.
CBS was so anxious to slam Bush that they took them without a serious investigation.
I do not think there will be any reaction against Kerry over this.
They will do some damage control and continue their efforts against Bush.
It will be the New Media which is going to generate the heat, the Old Media is going to circle the wagons with alot of weasel words 'possiblity''maybe''likely' blah, blah, blah
This is VERY interesting :) CBS provides the vehicle for the drive-by shooting, and now they're annoyed? You know, even if the docs turn out to be genuine, the damage is done --- not to GWB but to the Kerry campaign and the media! And the media is about the only friend John Kerry has. They could get really nasty if they decide to blame Kerry for their embarrassment.
You spelled out pathetic in caps and I couldn't agree more. If one silly CBS person repeats this insanity then they will look even stupider.
Demo strategist on Fox now saying documents were come by via the FOIA(Freedome of Info Act). Isn't that in direct contradiction with this article? Dem spin doctor says absolutely not was the Kerry camp responsible for this. Also says time to stop talking about all of this.
Wowie, do yourselves a favor and listen to all the spin doctors from the Dems.
Dem strategist saying it's Bush's fault.
Also, since FreeRepublic broke this damaging story, well I heard, ahem, there have been documents found....it's really bad, guys.
They have compromising pictures of Howlin with a homosexual midget. Also JohnHuang2, got some documents of his divorce papers...seems he's been married four times, all at the same time.
I don't even want to tell you what they've got on Jim Robinson.
All authentic and verified, mind you. And all sent to CBS.
This forgery thing is hilarious.
This is a perfect example of why I love FReepers so! What a GREAT line!
"Last night after reading the posts about the TANG memos on 60 Minutes, I sent up a very earnest prayer to God that He snatch the evil arrows of lies being thrown at our President and reverse their direction so they shoot the Accuser in the foot.
I love the sound of one foot hopping!!"
Amen!
"Keep me from the snares wich they have laid for me and the gins of the workers of iniquity
Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst I withal escape"
Psa. 141:9-10
If CBS didn't know they were forgeries, CBS is guilty of slipshod journalism, to put it mildly. (After all we are talking about the falsified military records of the POTUS.) They have to shift the blame.
Indeed, for CBS it is a worse thing to be party to a fraud, than to be partisan. Whether or not they knew the docs were phony, the essential point is they didn't care.
"So who gave the copies to CBS?"
Maybe the same person who hired Livingston?
We never did find out who hired him did we?
Thanks.
The question should be extended to include Hiliary.
There is now coke all over my keyboard and monitor. I blame you, not Karl Rove.
But the Force gives Rove power over weaker minds. (c8
Good God! My jaw is absolutely hitting the floor. CBS is gonna throw Kerry under the bus!
These brainiac producers that pushed the story because it was "hot", instead of erring on the side of caution, just saw there careers vanish into thin air. TPTB at CBS are going to punish the Kerry campaign ruthlessly...
Priceless image.
Disagree. Many careers are on the brink because of this. No one's going to be loyal to Kerry when the paychecks stop because of this stupid stunt. Kerry is persona non grata to the media at this point. I don't think his campaign can deliver any more material to the networks with their integrity so seriously wounded.
I want to drink a pint of Guinness out of Osama's skull! (c8
If they are this deceitful, they are also malicious enough to pay off the original source to claim he received it from some Bush operative -- Rove or otherwise.
Translation: CBS News knew the documents were fake but decided to run the story anyway in hopes that they could win some votes for Kerry.
