The Clinton years are over....new ballgame in town. Were it only so!
Kerry is a Kennedy crony back to the days on the yacht with Bobby, Teddy, and Jack. His team has consisted of Kennedy staffers and associated types until now.
Now, with the DNC faced with an allready unelectable candidate, the Clinton Gang has moved in and forged documents surface. Damage control will be quasi effective, just enough to make it look good, but the blame will fall on Kerry and his people, many of whom are usually on the Kennedy payroll. Bush hate will deflect the rest of the Dems from noticing the hijacking of their party, and they may even welcome it.
When the dust settles, the Clinton Gang will be back on top of the DNC, FBI files in hand, ready to press the issue as they please, with Shrillery in perfect position to make the run in '08.
Dan Rather is just collateral damage.

I'm going to take this a step further and say that we would not be seeing the same momentum this story has right now had it come from a traditional news source or special interest group. How can you possibly suspect the motive of a story when it's birth is well documented here and all over the internet?
Allow me to borrow a popular line: "With great power comes great responsiblity." I think we have just witnessed the dawning of a new era in news reporting and journalism. We have a great tool in our collective posession; everyone, keep purity in your motives, and I believe we will see more great things coming from this wonderful group.

I am also fairly new...I found you when I was searching for the great post with the song "my heros have always been cowboys" that shows W. But because of the writer of the song I guess it was pulled. The treasure I have found is invaluble to me, I love being in the loop and it is easy to do here. Thanx to all you Posting Freepers!!!!

One unintended (and admittedly unimportant) consequence of hyping this issue so much is that it gives the Democraps a way to save face. Kerry was getting his arse kicked before this came out - let's remember that. The Democraps will quote Dan's assertion that the documents are real and then claim that our "lies" about the document's authenticity caused them the election. It's always something. They never do wise up to the fact that most people don't identify with baby killing homosexual socialist. Oh well.

Yeah, she's been VERY quiet. Here in CNY, we are angry over the closing of Oneida Ltd, the long-running silversmiths. Guess she and Shumer didn't do what they could to keep it open, hmmm? Shows you how much they love NY. NOT!!!

Yes, I believe that was 'dead'.
No, it wasnt me. Ive sometimes been the first person to point it out on a Dougie Thompson thread, but I am relying on the research of others.

Proportional spacing is/was the first clue but the "th" and the WP automatic line cut off actually take precedence over spacing....one wasn't available and the other wasn't common practice. (remember having to stop and figure out where to break a word so you could continue it on the next line - and do it between the carriage return ringy-dingy and the end of the line?)
Proportional spacing was possible on some high end IBM's but you'd not find them at the level suggested by these faux-memos....the Army depot I worked for had one top end tape driven typewriter as early as 66 (don't know if it was proportional - but do know it was rare and the lady who used it would murder anyone else trying it out) but when the same army chose to teach me to type in 1970 it was an all manual (and noisy) affair.

The Atlanta Journal/Constipation
had an article today about the Bush "Guard Memos" and
NO WHERE in it was any mention that the documents might
be tainted.
Pathetic, old media, if they are lying now, how long
HAVE they been lying?

Thanks.
Sloth straightened me out in post 80, but I knew I at least recalled you mentioning it at some point.
