Credit where it is due,Howlin's thread,Buckheads post.

Post # 47 To: Howlin

Howlin, every single one of these memos to file is in a proportionally spaced font, probably Palatino or Times New Roman.

In 1972 people used typewriters for this sort of thing, and typewriters used monospaced fonts.

The use of proportionally spaced fonts did not come into common use for office memos until the introduction of laser printers, word processing software, and personal computers. They were not widespread until the mid to late 90's. Before then, you needed typesetting equipment, and that wasn't used for personal memos to file. Even the Wang systems that were dominant in the mid 80's used monospaced fonts.

I am saying these documents are forgeries, run through a copier for 15 generations to make them look old.

This should be pursued aggressively.

I believe that Thomas Payne, Patrick Henry, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, etc. are smiling right now. WE THE PEOPLE HAVE FINALLY TAKEN BACK FREEDOM OF THE PRESS.

FR made a difference in Florida in 2000 and is making a difference today. Jim Robinson has made a unique and lasting contribution to our Republic - of that there is no question. FR has changed history. Thank you, Jim.

Excellent!!

When I was watching the news last night, I wondered if FR was involved with catching these documents as fakes. It's a real pleasure to be able to read and learn here.

Cheers!

Great job fellow FReepers!

In my opinion, the arrogance of Dan Rather and CBS prohibited them from thinking past the point of wanting to get a hit piece out on our president. They underestimate those of us who are sick of the lies of the liberal media.

An example to show the potential impact of their lies. I have a friend who doesn't vote. Got an email from him yesterday, saying again why isn't going to. His words were (paraphrasing) "Kerry is on the news with a shotgun, and they were saying how he votes for gun control. 60 Minutes is doing a show on how Bush didn't serve his duty in the guard. So why should I vote for either of them?"

I am SO glad that finally the liberal media, most especially Rather, is being exposed. I have no doubt that this is largely due to the folks here at Free Republic.

OK, gotta go now. President Bush is coming to my hometown today!

Can someone tell me if the P.O. Box question was resolved?
I heard that the box number in the fake documents was not used till after 1972.

So many threads on the fraud, I lost track.

CBS is scum. Remember their famous Janet Jackson boob shot. They have no morals, values or truth anymore.
