STOLEN HONOR
A documentary exposing John Kerry's record of betrayal

Then all doubt's should be cleared as of today. FR has done what no free political internet website has ever done before. We have not only broken out into the MSM being credited with finding the fraud in CBS' story on Bush.
But we have our own deep throat's here who blew the whistle in blazing clear daylight.
Typegate is going to sink the Kerry polls 5-10% once people see what his campaign has stooped to. This story is not going away and we will make sure of that.
The DU is biting fingernails left and right knowing they just got busted big time and that they are not as teflon as they thought they once were.
The Clinton years are over....new ballgame in town.
Get used to it.
FR will continue to grow and expand and we will eventually have so much credibility that the media will have no other choice but to report what we are on a daily basis.
Congrats to our folks behind this great discovery.
Not typegate. How about selectragate, docgate, forged-gate, Rather-gate, CBS-gate, Media-gate, or something.
(addressing the DUH group in my best Spock voice) ....the documents....are not real......the documents.....are not real.....
MSM is afraid of this site and all the others which get the truth out. They are not the big dogs any more. Thanks to everyone on this site who discovered this lie. You are the greatest.
CSI-Free Republic...
I've been snooping in the lib blogs and they are looking at this two ways:
1. There WERE typewriters that could produce those fake documents around in the early 70's
2. IF it is a fake it must be Carl Roves doing.
So on one hand this document is 100% authentic, yet on the other hand it was Carl Roves doing. Looks like they got the Kerry doctrine down just right over on the left.
Oh I don't think there is a single newspaper editor or TV news editor that doesn't lurk on FR on a daily basis.
Makes ya proud to be a Freeper.
Sending my donation to Free Republic today! You guys/gals are great! Congrats!
WOW Great work guys and gals!!
Couple of stooopid questions from a long time lurker:
Waht does bttt mean, and what is the difference between a "ping" and a "bump"
keep up the great work, and I promose to become more involved!!
Has my vote.
I put this thread up for the 60 Minutes show.
Live Thread: Ben Barnes and CBS Attempt Another Bush Smear (60 Minutes) at 7:39:18 PM EDT.
At 8:19:00 PM EDT TankerKC posted this:
They are not in the style that we used when I came in to the USAF. They looked like the style and format we started using about 12 years ago (1992). Our signature blocks were left justified, now they are rigth of center...like the ones they just showed.
Can we get a copy of those memos?
Can some of you guys in the later time zones WATCH this interview and get a GOOD LOOK at those docuemtns.....how they were typed, where the signature was.....that kind of thing?
A screen grab would be great!
Who else does screen captures?
That thread continued along for a bit with people commenting on the documents and the show.
Then CBS put the documents up on their web site:
HERE THEY ARE:
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/09/08/60II/main641984.shtml
Scroll down on the left!!!!!!
Then Pikamax put up this thread:
Documents Suggest Special Treatment for Bush in Guard
To which Buckhead posted the shot heard round the world:
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.
After all the questions that arose from everybody on the forum, I put this thread up:
THE "New" CBS BUSH DOCUMENTS: Let's do some investigating
As Buckhead said on another thread, many, many Freepers were involved.
In a backhanded admission that the docs are phony, they're trying to blame it as a dirty-tricks plant by Carl Rove!
Here ya go!

I believe many are saying that the "evil genius" Karl Rove is behind it. And of course, by extension, President Bush and John Ashcroft.

LOL...just wanted to stand at my desk here in the heart of Texas with my hand over my heart and say I'm proud to be a long time Freeper
May God Bless America and may God Bless Free Republic
PJ-Comix had a reply from DU, where the poster basically said about Killian's wife saying that her now deceased husband wouldn't type those memos, how well does a wife know her husband.
They're going even more loony toons.
It was also a freeper who exposed Capitol Hill Blue for their made-up "source." I still have the threads bookmarked.
I'm new to this. In fact I just signed up today. This is a world I didn't know about! Amazing. Things are on TV and within seconds there are posts on here to let me know I'm not alone!!
