So basically, CBS is saying that they verbally asked people if what is written in the documents sound real. Upon their answering in the affirmative, CBS went to air stating that the documents were real without ever having the documents looked at.

I posted someof this on another thread, but I'll repeat it here to support your comments.
Before hightailing it out of DC, I was a policy wonk, working with some big names on behalf of the 'little people.' Some of the policy issues I covered were the Internet and political participation. But what these wonks really wanted was to tell people what they should read and what was authoritative (particularly how MSM was going to create and maintain control of online news), with the result being that everyone would just 'naturally' come to agree on what was right (as long as it was left, of course)
It just thrills me to see outlets such as FR standing the wonks and the MSM on their ears. Almost everything they thought about the Net was wrong. The only thing they got right was their fear that power would be in the hands of the people.
God bless Jim Robinson and Free Republic!

I would bet money that Rather, the staff from the Globe, and Terry Mac are more nervous than a virgin at a prison rodeo right now.
Rather is most likely drinking the scotch as fast as they can pour it.

I have heard Hannity and Hewitt both credit Freepers with breaking this story. Kudos...to all those freepers this morning who compiled these stories and sent them on ...I am convinced that without you the documents would never have been discredited. God Bless you...my Dad who hated Kerry's guts (Navy) died in 1994, I just know he is smiling somewhere knowing that Kerry is about to get what's coming to him-liar treasonous traitor that he is.

Where did these documents come from?
Who who gave them to CBS?
Who was the forger?
What was the motive? ![](http://images5.fotki.com/v64/photos/1/106521/780956/6948-vi.jpg?1079844389)

RATHER IS AN EMBARRASSMENT.

If these documents are fakes, and it appears almost certain that they are, then CBS will no longer have any legitimate claim to being a news source. The veneer is off.Now, I want the REST of the "memos" 60 Minutes is so famous for "uncovering" to be authenticated. They should be included in their investigation.

WIDOW TO APPEAR ON ABC NIGHTLINE, SOURCE CLAIMS: '"NUMBER ONE, HE WOULD NOT HAVE TYPED BECAUSE HE DID NOT TYPE. NUMBER TWO, THE WORDING IN THESE DOCUMENTS IS VERY SUSPECT TO ME. I JUST DON'T BELIEVE THAT, IT LOOKS LIKE SOME THINGS MAY HAVE BEEN PICKED UP OUT OF A DOCUMENT AND THEN OTHER THINGS JUST MADE FICTITIOUSLY TO FILL IN THINGS, TO MAKE THEM FLOW. I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THIS IS HIS WORDS, MY LATE HUSBAND'S WORDS.'
Ohh, this could be good.

This situation has left me reeling worse than a Arkansas armadillo in a Texas whorehouse!
Yeah, I don;t know what it means either; but I bet Dan does!

Rather needs to be Lynndied.
So what does doing a Lynndie involve? Here are the basic instructions:
- Find a victim who deserves to be "Lynndied".
- Make sure you have a friend nearby with a camera ready to capture the "Lynndie".
- Stick a cigarette (or pen) in your mouth and allow it to hang slightly below the horizontal.
- Face the camera, tilt your upper body slightly forward but lean back on your right leg.
- Make a hitchhiking gesture with your right hand and extend your right arm so that it's in roughly the same position as if you were holding a rifle.
- Keeping your left arm slightly bent, point in the direction of the victim and smile.

how did CBS get the documents?
To: Geronimo
they are trying to take down a sitting President. To impugn the integrity of the Commander in Chief with crude forged memoes during this time of war against international terror is inexcusable. What you said. And CBS is concerned about having to make an apology. So concerned, in fact, that they will make Dan Rather deliver it. Bah. Fools.

To: gswilder
"We really have seen the power of the internet in this election more than any other. Instead of just getting the real news first, people are now finding the real news and getting their voice heard. In 10 years or so, we will look back and see how far we have become. As our founding fathers knew so well, knowledge is power. That is why we have freedom of speech and expression. The MSM over the last 25 years, has basically attempted a coup on the American people. They had just about succeeded until the internet and Fox came along. It is amazing to watch this kind of story unfold in real time. Great job to everyone who made this happen. Well said and I agree. Well done to all involved!

On another thread, a Freeper reported that he was told by a Dem that the forged documents came from Texan Veterans for Truth(!).
To: Jim Robinson
"It's at least the same order of magnitude as the Watergate break-in (only no chance for a presidential pardon). The questions are, what did Kerry know and when did he know it and when can we expect his tearful resignation from the U.S. Senate? I want to see the perp walk! Demand a Senate investigation!"
gee Jim, do you mean like woodward & bernstein's "Deep Throat" who was "secret scorce" quoted as gospel in their book, but has never been questioned or seen to back up their "facts"?
Well, does that mean that all we have to do is talk to "Deep Font", and we'll know who made the fake docs??
2:08 in the NFL game....30 min of local news...then Nightline......(fingers crossed)
