It's hilarious to see the dem shill media run this dead horse. Imagine if you will the planning and preparation that went into this smear campaign: the dems (DNC and Kerry Campaign) come up with the docs, the politicians and press are briefed beforehand, a massive media onslaught is carefully planned; Harkin and McAwful will get up and denounce the prez, the MSM will express cautious concern at first, then outrage at the "serious allegations", talking heads book "experts" for weeks of media coverage. Then your horse gets shot out from under you as the gate opens. Now you're left with tons of useless copy, scheduled air time that has to be filled (certainly not with document experts), and you on the hot seat.
What do you do?
Some media outlets are taking the 'head-in-the-sand' approach--"forgeries? I don't see no stinkin' forgeries!" and simply forge ahead with "The Plan" like nothing happened. Others take the painfully embarrassing approach of "it's not the evidence, it's the seriousness of the charges!". And still others smell blood in the water and turn on their compadres to capture market share.
I love it; I absolutely love it. Pop a big bowl of popcorn, folks--the game just started and the christians pulled out 45 magnums and are going after the lions.
Hey Francie, if you want to change the world, change your name first. It's hurting your credibility.
Gerry proves it ... I don't see how anyone can deny this. This kind of information WILL get out. The amount of work he had to go through to get the body text close is simply unacceptable anyway; all the other features are deadly to the belief too ... but the KILLER is still the precise measurements in the Letterhead. That's just too much precision. Not "impossible," I grant you, but TOO incredible -- given all the other feature problems -- to be believable.
These documents are fake ... period.
Yeah but Joe Lockhart said they are forgeries planted bt Rove
How come Joey boy knows they are forgeries ??????????
Inquiring minds want to know
It's obvious what the defense is going to be on this: Rather and 60 Minutes are beyond reproach, Bush is evil, and those who questions these points are right wing fanatics...
Why would Rather talk only about the docs themselves and nothing about where they supposedly came from. He must know the source is totally suspect.
Hey, this amount work involved in obtaining precision in centering and superscript wouldn't be a problem for most LTCs, especially when typing a memo to themselves as a CYA document.
Most LTCs are renowned for taking such painstaking jobs away from enlisted men with the comma, "Here, let me do that. I'd 'Rather' do it myself and get it right."
Re:Kerry-Edwards: Forging Ahead
ROTFLMAO!
Not to worry. I'll put a copy to good use. Don't have a bird cage, but my mini dachshunds need a wee wee pad now and then. The Globe is perfect.
Another kerry family hamster.
Cage her and shove her off the dock.

They are in the "Seriousness of the charge" mode. There is no common sense at work here. Common sense exposes this fraud. I caught several of their pundits last night using these points: "don't question the memos, just believe what is in them, because we say so, and Bush is evil"...
So, get an IBM Selectric Composer and prepare them. By just sitting down and typing. He can collect $10,000. Except, this is transparent spin.
And, why in the world would Killian type such a memo to himself? (He didn't type, and the memo shows no errors. Amazing on an old typewriter.) The memo doesn't prove higher-ups were pressuring him. The memo says so, but there's no proof. It wouldn't have served any purpose for Killian. Makes no sense from the angle of why it would have been written.
For those desperate to sandbag GW, though, the memo is invaluable. Voters stop talking about SwiftBoat vet ads and Kerry's treasonous past. Instead, his RAT surrogates go on tv and call GW a liar and worse. As Carville says, Attack, attack, attack. Well, fine. The Swifties mean to oblige.
This worthless POS Charlie Pierce also appears on several NPR shows produced by WBUR in Boston ("Only a Game", "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me"). He is the lowest of the low and he, the Globe, WBUR, these programs and NPR are all in the tank for Kerry, Kennedy, and the rest of their fellow America Haters. They deserve your boycott.
There's a big trade in typewriters - see http://www.mytypewriter.com/ and others (no endorsement intended).
The shills in the media, if they placed probabilities on the sequence of events they are proposing occurred (The reserve had access to a 'high end' typewriter, Killian (not a typist) would have taken the time to change the font ball on this complicated typewriter, etc.), they would come to the conclusion that their story is very unlikely. But they are not looking for truth, their aim is to create propaganda.
It would be nice if someone honorable in the democrat party would recognize this and expose it to their less sophisticated members. I'm sure that behind closed doors, the Democrat leadership is laughing at the B.S. that they can get away with among their rank and file.
