"All focus now is on type fonts, graphology, the expertise of dueling experts"
What dueling experts? I've yet to hear any expert say these are anything but forgeries. Even the experts See BS cited have said they are bogus
I tired of reading the liberal's blah blah blah after about the 2nd paragraph.
So tell me, did the whiny b*tch that wrote ever get around to the fact that the Washington Post now shows that the memos are fake?
Did the author(cough) get around to pointing out how the New York times has reported the problems AND said that it has a source from in side CBS that has confirmed what Newsweek said?
That being that a man named Burkett (a liberal, whose atty. is a Democrat {who has worked the the Democrat Party in Texas for years}) is the person who supplied the fake memos.
And for the record, I'm Beevis.
I'll ask them which one was Buckhead at the next meeting...
You've got that right. Typewriters were a major pain in the @$$. And even the advent of the PC didn't make it easy in the earlier days.
Anyone remember Wordstar and the imbedded dot formatting commands? Not quite WYSIWYG but still produced proportion spaced, multi font and font size documents. You just had to waste a few pages of paper to check your formatting.
Exactly. And there's a reason Dan Rather gave an interview to them, and not, say, the Post. Because he's speaking to his constituency.
No, I AM BUCKHEAD!
My wife has been calling my dog Buck "Buckhead" for a number of years...I guess this explains the milkbone crumbs in my keyboard.
I figured the headline was barf-worthy enough, but you could be right!
I was Buckhead before I wasn't Buckhead.
Now you know that ain't right.
I will admit being late to the party, so I didn't break any news. But I will tell you honestly that the fact that these documents were of modern origin leaped off the page to me when I first saw them.
Where I work, it was a really big deal when we started getting modern laser printers with Post-Script capability. For about two years, you could tell where anybody was on the food-chain by how quickly their computer/printer was transferred to TruType fonts. As one of the last recipients of the new technology, I witnessed memo after memo of my collegues being updated to the snappy new Times Roman while I slaved away in Courier 10. So I was used to discerning the difference between Courier and a TruType.
Armed with that experience, the fraudulent nature of these forgeries were obvious to me, I-kid-you-not, within the first fractional second of looking at them. The difference is that obvious. Anybody who says this is arcane or difficult to understand is either really, really stupid or lying. Or both.
And, quite honestly, if there was "nothing" to Buckhead, et al.'s analysis there's no way this would've gotten legs. This is how checks-and-balances are *supposed* to work. Only a moron would think a claim such as that made by CBS would (and, in his world, SHOULD NOT) not be scrutinized.
I thought it was assimilated. Did I miss another of the VRWC memos again?
I am Buckhead. Give me my beer!
Obviously, the fact that ABC would sully itself by reporting on such a disgraceful subject is proof of hard-right bias on its part. The fact that ABC is right and CBS will recant at some undetermined point in the near future (they missed three deadlines already) is lost on this leftist freak.
His definition of "bias" is apparently "reporting the news without a pro-Kerry filter." What a stupid, worthless creep. He had better apologize to Buckhead and FR.
I think we should just tell CBS that the bullheaded ditz that Rather is using to 'splain away his fraudulent story won't fly any further. It has already hit the fan. Logic seems to be lost on CBS. Has everyone sent them a letter or something, or am I behind the times?
The Dan Rather article is dated the 20th also.
