Kimmer just announced that he would discuss the attacks on Pres. Bush. by see BS and said (no equivications)that the documents are fake. Kimmer is on WGST in ATlanta. Detail as I get them....
He's a Marine. Served in Viet Nam.
Hannity just announced the false document claim on his radio show. And he is following the story to determine the truth.
'See BS' indeed.
talk show in atlanta on 640 right after Rush finished, he's a bit kooky, but entertaining.
I can never remember my father or his records using the abbreviation "Lt. Colonel". The records always used "LTC" or "Lt. Col."
But, but, he wasn't on Kerry's boat, so he can't know for sure that the documents are forged!
Where did Rather claim he received the memos?
Along with the font being incorrect, I find it rather hard to believe that ANYONE would keep these insignificant memos somewhere? Can anyone imagine how many memos one would accumulate during a 20 year career?
It will be interesting to see how far up the flagpole this all will go. I cannot wait?
This is almost to easy. Like a Clinton plant to make Kerry etal look bad. I mean if you were really trying to forge documents, why not use an old typewritter?? Surely a serious person would have thought of that?? Interesting that Carville and and the rest of the Clinton group move in about the same time this crazy thing comes out.

You do have a point there.
Let's say we get further substantiation of the falsehoods associated with these documents.
Anyone thinking this may be the time to finally get Danny boy to remove himself from our living rooms?
Please please - let's make this happen.
Here's a theory. (First let me say, I hope these documents are fake, just to discredit CBS and Dan Rather; but even if they are genuine, they're not terribly damaging in my opinion.) Anyway, what if the original "personal" files were handwritten. Perhaps the guy thought he would be famous some day, so he formalized the memos some time in the 80s or 90s, using a modern word processor. Is there anything to stop this "excuse" from being offered up by RatherBiased Dan?
One can hope.
I haven't watched network news in 2 years since I got cable. Those news casts were nothing but informercials for certain politicians and products even then. I'm sure they haven't changed.
But, if these documents are proved to be doctored or faked, CBSnews's credibility would be in the 'john'. However, Dan has seen his market share dwindle over the last few years. Even cable channel FoxNews is beating him in the ratings.
"Where did Rather claim he received the memos?"
"See B S" will NOT DISCLOSE THE SOURCE! They're refusing to give their source. Veeeerrrryyyy Interesting!
Oops, since he died in '84, he would have had to "formalize" them before that time.
something is about to come out...I think.
What next, Brokaw showing a "Picture" (photoshopped) of Bush snorting coke?
These old time journalists ought to hang it up.
If this is a hoax, it's the end of Rather's career on the low note he deserves. I'll bet he's wetting his pants right now.
Anyone hear on Hannity...anything? I am still waiting. Kimmer has several times stated the documents are faked, but no details.
If this is a hoax, this election is over, game, set, match.
I haven't noticed that many LTC ever typed their own letters or memos.
