you say”Look again... do you think they used computers with Courier font to make birth certificates in 1961? It’s as bad a fake as the Rathergate documents.”

Well, ya see, I made my living in the newspaper field. I'm familiar with fonts. But here, let me familiarize you with the courier font.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Courier_(typeface)

“Courier is a monospaced slab serif typeface designed to resemble the output from a strike-on typewriter. The typeface was designed by Howard “Bud” Kettler in 1955. The design of the original Courier typeface was commissioned in the 1950s by IBM for use in typewriters, but they did not secure legal exclusivity to the typeface and it soon became a standard font used throughout the typewriter industry. “

That may be so, but that document is not typewritten Courier, it’s clearly computer-generated Courier, hence a fake.
