HODGES SAID HE WAS MISLED BY CBS

Noted Now - ABC News The Note ^ | 09/11/04 | ABC News The Note

[Ed Zoekuiper]

Retired Maj. General Hodges, Killian's supervisor at the Grd, tells ABC News that he feels CBS misled him about the documents they uncovered. According to Hodges, CBS told him the documents were "handwritten" and after CBS read him excerpts he said, "well if he wrote them that's what he felt."

I guess ABC didn't catch the hint ...

"GO, ABC, GO!"

I used to like Howard K. Smith. ABC was not like the others. Then, they changed, too and I gave up on all of them.

You can upload pictures from your hard drive to...

http://www.uploadyourimages.com/

They store it for you and give you a 'http' address that you can use for linking your pictures to this site. It will look like this for example...

Just remember to change 'view' to 'img'

"The official said the network regarded Hodges's comments as "the trump card" on the question of authenticity, " ...

So that makes
for: Robert Strong (and Who TF is Robert Strong?)

against: Killian's son, Killian's wife, Col. Mo Udell, --and now Gen. Hodges.

"Feces made contact with the ventilator."

O'course, that's back when our parents were working for NASA or Air Force and the kids picked up the lingo.

Somebody PULEEEZE tell Dan, "This ain't the '60's, D!CKHEAD!"

[Flamenco Lady]

I wonder if someone can locate the secretary for Rufus Martin and Jerry Killian. She might be able to shed a whole lot of light on these documents. Most secretaries know their bosses habits, likes and dislikes quite well, and would definitely be able to tell everyone what typewriters were in the office.

Since the Rats at CBS and their comrades at DNC and Kerry Kamp believe that they will never be held accountable for slander and lies, they are attempting to take focus off Kerry's sinking ship.

So that's all it is...Lib rant, smoke and mirrors. CBS as a network needs to dissappear (and DU-Dan needs to be feeding pigeons at Ft. Marcy Park) for any of the lamestream media to regain credibility.

Retired July 1, 1987... Major General Paul H. Hodges ...

Wrong Hodges, this is Major General Bobby W. Hodges.

I think it's all misdirection, so that everyone gets focussed on the document fonts, proportional spacing, superscripts, etc. Then they will come back and say: "Guess what? I doesn't matter, because the originals were handwritten (we just didn't mention it because it wasn't relevant); the typed stuff was just a WP reproduction, with the signatures scanned and digitally added, to make it easier to read.... so the forgery claim has now been refuted, and therefore the documents are legitimate, and prove Bush lied...."

That doesn't make any sense. Why go through the trouble of repeated scanning and copying to make them look old? If they were handwritten and hard to read, why not show the original document with a typewritten reproduction alongside for ease of reading?

IF they have the handwritten notes, what do they gain by saying the word processed one are the originals? They've perpetrated a fraud either way.

The pressure at CBS must be immense.

The only thing they have to sell is their legitimacy. And they lost that. Permanently.

[UnbelievingScumOnTheOtherSide]

Dan Rather isn't the problem. You want to spend the next 40 years playing word games trying to dislodge the next leftist flack? The whole news division and Viacom Board should be replaced with conservatives, from Free Republic if possible.

FIRE MARY MAPES!!!

[js1138]

They are going to proclaim the originals WERE handwritten, and that all this internet frenzy about "forgeries" is "much ado about nothing".....

It's always good to have a few paranoid thoughts now and then, but CBS has already said thy don't have any originals, and their handwriting expert is now on record saying he only looked at one signature on one document.

[UnbelievingScumOnTheOtherSide]

He sounded a little strained tonight, think he'll crash?


"Kill myself? No, no, I don't think I can do that."

[js1138]

All you posters predicting DOOM, and GLOOM for CBS, and or Rather, remind me of all the dire consequences predicted for Bildo Clintoon, and Hitlery, and lyinAlGore,and Sid Vicious Blumenthall,,Sandy Burgler,Janet Reno,and...etc.etc.

Not to mention Martha Stewart.

Dear Dan:

At last, we get a behind-the-scenes look at how a story is put together and it ain't pretty. If this inept stinking coverup is what passes for news integrity, you are all living in a dream world. You seem to have forgotten your raison d'etre.

It must be the lack of competition and your warm, protected environment. You've grown soft. You're lazy and careless and incompetent.

The Old Media does not understand that ordinary Americans care about the truth. It is the single greatest reason why we read newspapers, listen to broadcast news, and now, thank God, roam the internet. Just as water flows downhill, people yearn to know the real state of things and will always seek it out.

The New Media is waiting there for us.

P.S. Oh, yeah, Dan, remember Alger Hiss? He was brought down by a typewriter.

The Swifties could use more money, they want the next ad to go nationwide.

Undoubtedly. I received an E-mail update from them saying basically the same thing. I imagine they've gone over $7 million in donations by now, with hopefully much more to come!
