The Thread that broke the Camels Back:Post 47, and the Freepers who busted C.B.S.
Free Republic ^

Credit where it is due,Howlin's thread,Buckheads post.

Post # 47 To: Howlin

Howlin, every single one of these memos to file is in a proportionally spaced font, probably Palatino or Times New Roman.

In 1972 people used typewriters for this sort of thing, and typewriters used monospaced fonts.

The use of proportionally spaced fonts did not come into common use for office memos until the introduction of laser printers, word processing software, and personal computers. They were not widespread until the mid to late 90's. Before then, you needed typesetting equipment, and that wasn't used for personal memos to file. Even the Wang systems that were dominant in the mid 80's used monospaced fonts.

I am saying these documents are forgeries, run through a copier for 15 generations to make them look old.

This should be pursued aggressively.

I have been sending emails for a long time now telling media people that we are fed up with the lies the media is telling people. We are not going to be silent any longer.

I like to go over there for a few minutes each day to see them after something like this happens. They are a bratty bunch.

These people do not seem to realize that just about everything can be found on the web. If they tell lies, then they will be found out that day!

Prayers have been a big part of President Bush's term. I talked with my sil in another state and she said we all have to start praying a lot about this election. She and her family do not trust KE at all.

"As a newbie, let me just say that I am deeply humbled to have been a witness to history...this has truly been a historic day for the blogsphere."

I also feel the same way. I had nothing to do with breaking this open, But was filled with pride when it was reported that FREE REPUBLIC busted this wide open!

BEWARE-God knows what the Dems will try next!

I must admit, I am a severe critic of Sean Hannitty's show.

I think he's a good guy and I agree with 99% of his views; at the same time I think that his show is amatuerish when compared to the likes of Rush Limbaugh.

To be redundant, my critic is of the talent/production quality of the program not the ideological or philosophical aspects.

I still do listen to him often although here in Southern California he is in the same time slot as Michael Medved and I am listening to Michael more and more.

But credit is due where credit is deserved - Hannitty gave FreeRepublic credit for recognizing and breaking the news that the CBS docs were frauds. I respect and thank him for that.

FOX News is reporting now that it, FOX News, and the WHITE HOUSE are furiously tracking the trail of WHO created the FAKE BUSH DOCUMENTS... meanwhile... it looks to me like CBS is in FULL COVERUP MODE... I hope they dont get away with it...

As we use the term "Freep" or "Freeped" for protesting and affecting a poll. I propose we start saying "Fourtysevened" or "47nd" when a freeper busts someone.

Lets 47 Kerry some more!

Hear, Hear! Make 47 the rally cry!

Actually, in my haste to snap up any scraps of fame for myself, I forgot to congratulate the man of the hour. hehe

Congrats man, and keep up the good work.

Hey, if you or Buckhead attend a FR event, I'll print out the pages of his and your comments...and I am expecting his and your AUTOGRAPHS.

You guys are NEW MEDIA HEROES. Awesome. You dudes rock.
