When are they going to produce the intercepted audio tape of a cell phone conversation from 1973 that confirms the memo?

Oh yes, I agree. The Democrat Party use to be one of great pride for the working man. Today it is a bad joke.

Hi Julie. No, GW doesn't brag, doesn't really defend himself, and sometimes it drives me crazy, but it always works out for him in the end.

I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop. Where is the typist who worked in that office who probably typed all the documents for the officers? Something more is going to happen to make it ever more obvious that these memos are fraudulent

I suspect CBS has already tipped off who the sacrificial lamb will be for the fraud...i.e., the one clown who purports to be there and vouches for these things: [see CBS News online]

Robert Strong was an administrative officer for the Texas Air National Guard during the Vietnam years. He knew Jerry Killian, the man credited with writing the documents. And paper work, like these documents, was Strong's specialty. He is standing by his judgment that the documents are real. "They are compatible with the way business was done at that time," Strong said. "They are compatible with the man I remember Jerry Killian being. I don't see anything in the documents that's discordant with what were the times, the situation or the people involved." Killian died in 1984. Strong says the highly charged political atmosphere of the National Guard at the time was perfectly represented in the new documents. "It verged on outright corruption in terms of the favors that were done, the power that was traded. And it was unconscionable from a moral and ethical standpoint. It was unconscionable," Strong said.

Strong has to be either the culprit...or complicit. Notice the fraud-defenders never deal with the fact that Staudt had already been retired a year...

Your source is wrong..Rather actually has the original carbon paper that was used when the document was first typed..as well as the roll of CORRECT-TYPE that was used to fix the mistakes on the original..

I understood that Dan Rather, in fact, has the original CD-RW disk the documents were saved on after their creation.

I am guessing they can't admit what is the obvious, they planned a well-coordinated hit piece and it went blooey. It doesn't matter, all it will do is drive the inspired to make certain they vote for GW.

I almost hope they keep trying these pathetic attempts because it always helps Bush and kills Kerry.

Your comment made me laugh. I'm sure the CD from the 70's...

Oh, Tom Harkin just made an ass of himself! He was commenting on how "Bush has again lied to the American Public". The only ones I see lying are the "Desperate Democrats"!

Yeah, the "preferential treatment" speech. As if Tom Harkin doesn't get preferential treatment "serving" (and I use that term loosely) in Congress.

Hypocrite. How dumb do they think we are?

[pray4liberty]

Staudt retired in 1972....before the August 18,1973 was written.

Maybe they'll forge it again to say 1972 instead of 1973?
