BUT the segment ended with this teaser: how was it possible for the weblogger to point out the odd type face at 8:56 p.m., even before the 60 Minutes II show ended, if the viewer only had a few fleeting seconds to see the images of the documents?
The news clip, then, suggests that the weblogger (whom we all know is the famous Freeper Buckhead) was an insider to the hoax. We need to respond to this suggestion ASAP.
FR has officially arrived and become the most important news forum. We have started making threads out of our own posts that are a nationally recognized. (globally?)
OH YEAH
CBS News=Old Media
FR=Tommorow news make headlines
Globally, yes. Globally recognized. I know folks in the international media who follow FR from time to time, especially when things heat up and they want hot, timely and deep thinking perspective.

Thank God For FR, and the FReepers here.
Reagan said before, and we all will be able to say in the future, that we made a difference.

How is it that you can defend a story with the same people you used to create the story?
Didn't CBS call anybody else in to verify these documents?
Is this guy the only one they could get?
Perhaps the person completing the form had stamps for certain common phrases. That would be a plausible explanation, though why a stamp for "INDOCTRINATION" and not "SINGLE" I don't know.
Her legs go from the ground all the way up to Paradise (sigh).
While we are at it.
Has anyone seen a copy Kerry's DD 214?
I think that will explain alot....
At leat Bush is daying he has a Honorable discharge. I haven't heard that from Kerry. I think this is a Freeper moment!!!
The 60 minutes story was only one segment, and the forgery was so crude that it is easily spotted.
Now,if the VRWC was smart enough to fool Dan Rather with these documents, wouldn't they be smart enough to wait a plausible amount of time before uncovering them?
Either way, the documents were forged.
Well said. BTW don't forget "Get out of Cheney's house"...LOL!
Compare one of the Jerry Killian memos given to CBS News,
and allegedly produced in 1972, to the same text created using MS
Word 2002. A person who wishes to remain anonymous forwarded a
link to me for an animated presentation which overlaps the two
documents and shows, using a current font, how tab spacing and
inter-line spacing match the defaults in Microsoft's Word.

You'll need to have Macromedia Flash installed to watch the
slide show. Check it out at:

The font and the spacing you just couldn’t do,
On any typewriter in ‘72.
The centering, apostrophes and superscripts too,
where also some things that you just couldn’t do.
The memos are real, CBS still insist,
our expect checked them and nothing he missed.
On their authenticity, his reputation he’ll stake,
but a dozen other experts think the memos are fake.
Nice ryhme...maybe O'Reilly will read it on the air!!!!!!!!!
I've said it before, the Freepers are great!!
This site ROCKS!!!
Somebody better check to make sure Buckhead didn't make derogatory statements about Islam or the Pope...
Bump for tomorrow
A great moment in history. To have Dan Blabber go out to the dog track on this story will forever haunt him. I am so grateful and humbled to be on this patriotic site at this time in America's history.
To quote Ronald Wilson Reagan....Howlin, Buckhead, "not bad..not bad at all."
