BWAAAAA HAAAAAAA DUers are sending this page to CBS, NBC and all the media outlets to debunk the forgery story.

IBM announces the Electromatic Model 04 electric typewriter, featuring the revolutionary concept of proportional spacing. By assigning varied rather than uniform spacing to different sized characters, the Type 4 recreated the appearance of a printed page, an effect that was further enhanced by a typewriter ribbon innovation that produced clearer, sharper words on the page. The proportional spacing feature became a staple of the IBM Executive series typewriters.

Check out the webpage for the typewriter here CLICK. A typewriter that was made in 1941 and also they seem to forget that Lt. Col. Jerry Killian could not type. That is what his wife said. He wrote everything out!

FR was all over the possibility of the IBM Executive Model typewriter being used, too. We are quite self-critical. There are too many other indicia of forgery -- I see no way to rehabilitate the documents posted at CBS's website.

But anyone raising questions yesterday was referred to as an idiot or a freeper. I don't know what the hurry is that people can't wait for a proper analysis of the facts at hand. A lot of DUr's are being asses about this. I would prefer to have an open mind.

Of course it is not just about the proportional spacing. The type of font used. The superscript. The signatures that don't match. Not using the standard format and letterhead for this type of document. That it matches almost 100% to a MS Word document from 30 years later. The family that says Killian thought highly of Bush and spoke about him openly. The other official documents from Killian praising Bush. The fact that an officer would have kept these documents in his personal files, just to be found 20 years after his death during a presidential election. And on and one....

Unless the source comes forward, we will never prove 100%. Unfortunately, the MSM/CBS will be able to weather this. But I think that it will just futher remind people that the Dems have no vision and no positive message. Bush just keeps tracking along day by day, ignoring all of this. Just keeps telling us how he is going to protect us, and make our lives better. That is why Bush will win. Not because of the Swift vets, the TX ANG, or memogate.

Why this hasnt been done and if it has why it hasnt been reported is beyond me. There is no doubt in my mind that it would be very easy to do some research to find out exactly what typewirters were being used at the locations these memos are supposedly from. No doubt there are government records still existing cataloging assets.

And anyone who thinks that a ANG unit in Alabama in 1972/73 was using the top of the line, high dollar typewriters is dreaming that possibly could have done the superscript and proportional font are dreaming. They were most likley using surplus junkers.

That doesn't explain that there was no Times Roman font typewriters in existence in 1972.
