NEW YORK -- Yesterday, Goliath CBS News was delivered a smooth stone to the forehead by a FReeper.
A poster in the FreeRepublic.com conservative news forum mentioned something peculiar about two documents CBS’s 60 Minutes claimed on September 8 were generated by now deceased Lieutenant Colonel Jerry B. Killian regarding an allegedly National Guard-evading George W. Bush in 1973.
Within minutes following the broadcast, FReeper "TankerKC" wrote this to FReeper "Howlin'":
WE NEED TO SEE THOSE MEMOS AGAIN!
{snip]
Since then, news of the potential forgery glitch spread like wildfire from blog to blog and into the mainstream press - especially that of CBS competitors ABC and NBC.

The fine folks at littlegreenfootballs have made an animated gif overlaying the 18AUG73 CBS memo and one typed in MS Word. It lines up even better than previous examples:

I bet that is why ALGORE is looking so zombie-like lately. He invented the tool that is bringing down the left. FR, the blogs, and we conservatives seem to be better at using this tool than do the artsy, libs.
They can use a Mac or PC and create documents hehehehehe.

CNN Headline News a few minutes ago said a former Japanese official had said GW told him some time ago that his father had pulled strings to get him into the Texas Air National Guard. In the next breath, CNN said that the documents Rather and CBS had produced looked to be bogus since a doc. expert said they were likely computer generated. So it seems as if CNN is hanging over both sides of the fence here. Slam Bush as best they can, then slide the shiv into CBS. Didn't catch the name or rank of the Japanese govt. official, sorry
LOL:
That W. would go around bragging about that 41 was able to get his son into the N.G. --- Give me a break, how dumb does these people think we are!!!

You forget that cBS GAVE the memos TO the WH, not the WH to cBS. So how could Rove have had them forged? And a sloppy forgery at that. I would have thought that Rove would have had some one more knowlegable of military matters to do it. After all Rove is a brilliant man.
This is sloppy work done by some on with an axe to grind against Dubya on the internet, who didn't have a ton of knowledge about military docs, that the kerry camp found and gave to blather and cBS thinking or not carring if they were real as long as they damaged Dubya.

I think that somewhere I saw it mentioned that either Staudt or Hodges, involved, had left the N.G. one year earlier before these documents were dated???

"I've come to the belief that the rats were set up by the White House."
I think it's more likely that they were set up by the Clintons -- Kerry will lose and Hillary can run in 2008.
