FREE REPUBLIC RULES!

IF — IF these end up being forgeries, one of the interesting subplots will be the timing and method by which they were exposed.
We always favor looking at the content and substance over WHO is offering up the information, but in the war that will ensue about WHO gave CBS the potentially phony documents, it is interesting to Note that the right (Drudge, Fox, right-leaning blogs, others) led the way in pointing out the questions we have all been asking — and they were onto the questions, with remarkable detail, relatively soon after the documents were made public.

Kausfiles comment:
Patterico shoots down a promising pro-Kerry Web conspiracy theory--namely that the potential forgery of the CBS Bush guard documents was spotted so quickly on the Web that the person who spotted it ("Buckhead," poster #47 at Free Republic) must have been tipped off in advance. That would suggest that any forgery was planted, presumably by pro-Bush forces. But it seems this whole theory, promoted in this morning's ABC News Note, was based on a misreading of time stamps by ABC. In reality, Buckhead had a couple of hours to come up with his post--something he confirms in an email to Patterico. ... ABC has corrected its mistake (without withdrawing the now seemingly groundless insinuation). NPR hasn't corrected the error, according to Patterico, and David Brock's Media Matters still posts it. ...
Bottom line: tin-foil attempts to blame the VRWC die hard.

Buckhead forever, *uckheads in the media, NEVER!
Does anyone know the cost of a polygraph or who could do one. If Buckhead did that immediately, we could really shove it to them good.
So they simultaneously hold these two positions:
* the memos are legitimate
* the memos are a Rove plant
Uh, OK.
at some point it becomes painfully obvious that there are some who are insane. when you start saying things like the murder victim must have shot himself to win the triathlon you have crossed over into insanity...
I sent them an e-mail explaining this.
Still waiting for a reply or a correction.
And the question still remains, who has the origional which all these copies were made from?
Somewhere, someone is sweating buckets, and having a hard time eating anything.
Or how dumb they are...
Yeah. Yeah. We know.... The timing is suspicious.
... or maybe the forgeries were so blatant that you'd have to be a Democrat to not see it.
Instead, they are forced to defend the indefensible in order to protect the Kerry campaign.
HAHAHHA I QUESTION THE TIMING! LOL
Mark Halperin is an idiot. By this logic we should suspect NYCPD and NYCFD had something to do with the WTC attack because it didn't take them long to respond and they seemed to know exactly where to go when they got there. What a bunch of liberal puke.

"We always favor looking at the content and substance over WHO is offering up the information",. They sure did this with the Democrat Judiciary Committee memos stonewalling the President's judgeship nominees.
Kaus was awesome last night on Miller, Kaus is no supporter of Bush but he was pretty good on hammering the Kerry Campaign and the forged memo's
You are exactly right!
The truth doesn't matter to CBS as long as the story has an anti-Bush spin -- that's their number-one priority.
Look. This is real simple. The memos are as authentic as an intern's kiss, unless they are fake.
If they are fake, they come from the desk of Carl Rove, or maybe George Bush himself.

This geek didn't bring up "Time Travel"?
