Here is a pretty good current summary of the situation:
The Shot Heard Round the World The echoes of the big Internet bang which annihilated a
60 Minutes story in under
12 hours are still resounding. The key riffs apparently started at
Powerline and as
Samizdata notes, the distributed intelligence of the Internet took over. Under the scrutiny of thousands of analysts, the CBS story began to melt down.
The start of it all:
-more-
The Thread that broke the Camels Back:Post 47, and the Freepers who busted C.B.S.
"Free Republic: Tomorrow's News Today."
Question: Who from the Kerry campaign is responsible?
CBS'S BIG BLUNDER? (Credits Free Republic) The Minneapolis lawyers who run powerlineblog.com were on the case early. Two of the blog's readers directed their attention to a note left on an Internet bulletin board on the freerepublic.com Web site — the 47th posting on the topic there.
But Why? (list of candidates who forged the CBS document) This was going to be a late October surprise. They were going to release these forged documents on the weekend before the election, In this manner the Republicans wouldn't have time to respond. However, Kerry's numbers were so low, they panicked and release earlier
There's also some information on the American Spectator
site that makes a connection. Kerry is a stupid desperate man right now.
Rathergate
Gosh, the DNC is gonna have to stay up all night to keep up with the New Media in the future, aren't they?
And finally, the MSM ( MainStreamMedia, AKA the Jackal Pack Press ) catches up with the New Media of the Internet & Talk Radio:
Fox News to break forged document story ON NOW! The only down side on this that I can see is that we haven't gotten to spend any time discussing Teressa calling us all "common people"...
Son of Late Officer Questions Memos Attributed to His Dad Just to realize that in less than 24 hours, TankKC's suspicon and Freepers' fabulous investigative skills and know-how hatched the biggest story to hit the air waves since Zell's give-em-hell speech. Hell has just frozen over for CBS and Kerry/Edward...
-more-
Final nail in coffin:
Was Rather Duped by Anti-Bush Hoax?
Bush Guard Documents: Forged Well in truth CBS said the "believed" them to be authentic. They have given themselves a legal out. They didn't or can't "CERTIFY" them as authentic.
I've been working in the field for over 20 years and currently serve with a text processing company so I am intimately familiar with these technologies. The document is an OBVIOUS forgery. Note last night I cautioned it's probably not even worth the exercise because it's not part of the current agenda. However, now that this forgery has been proven so effectively, Dan Rather must be held accountable.
They are spinnig as fast as they can. In the wake of the revelation these documents are fake they think they can spin it into a negative for the White House.
If theses DOCs are proven to be a hoax......The election is OVER and Dan Rather's career ends on the low note he'll be remembered for and rightly so.

Backhoe and Heavy Equipment Guy,
Good work on all the documentation. This has been unfolding at a non stop pace. Events are definitely swarming around the opposition. See

Incpen,
"The left STILL doesn't 'get' the Internet."
Exactly. They even come here and read our posts and they still don't get it. It is amazing to see.

The left STILL doesn't 'get' the internet.Exactly- we are cruising down the information superhighway with the afterburners lit and the supercharger spooled up, and they are still cracking the whip over Ole Dobbin's backside, trying to get the family buckboard up to speed...

Swarming is a seemingly amorphous but carefully structured, coordinated way to strike from all directions at a particular point or points...Cool! Thanks for the link.

I think they may try to tough it out.
Only WaPo has the story on page one.
CNN and the Boston Globe are still running with it.
The Times is silent.
Can they really think they can still sell this?
Or is the goal, "Swift boats, forgeries, who knows? Let's move on"?

The work in uncovering this was great, but those responsible must be brought to justice - and quickly! We are on the eve of an election and this was an outright attempt to undermine and defeat the government in a time of war.
We all assume this is a democrat/ new media scandal. Could there be the influence of foreign governments or movements involved in this effort? Radical Islam or our "Allies" like the French? Whoever they are need to be dragged into the sunlight - fast.

I suspect the latter- the tried & true Clintonian "everybody does it" defense/deflection.
If they could just work sex into it, they'd be home free... no, wait, the MSM has been screwing us for years!

Moving ***Monday*** - please keep us in prayer.
The apartment complex in Palm Beach County tells us they are ready to receive us on Tuesday - but it's really up to God and Ivan at this point.
I just commented that my timing has never been all that great, but this is *ridiculous*....
((((((HUGS))))))) to you and Em and Taffy.
