I wonder if the strategy now isn't to talk the question of fake or genuine to death so that people want to "move on" without inquiring where the documents originated.
Now all we need is for Registered to put Rather's face on Nixon's body a la, ["I am not a crook"].
IBM has nothing to do with this mess. It is CBS that must be held accountable, not IBM. Why are you spamming so many threads with your "suggestion"?
O'Reilly is full of bombast. I have never really had a high opinion of him, or enjoyed his show. He lacks the intellectual clarity to fend off mindless Lefty diatribes.
I agree with the goddess.
Since they only have 10-15 minutes each day to discuss, perhaps the strategy is to put the issue of authenticity to rest so that they can move onto the next question of who passed them?

CBS had a Word-wrote malfunction.
'Nuff Said!!
I agree! I've got no use for liberalism, but their are a few "good" liberals. Genuinely misguided people who still seek the good of mankind. I believe Mara is one of these. There may be a few more, but they are rare.
I don't believe that Mara is misguided. She's been in this game too long and she's too smart to always have to be bending over backward to make sense out of liberal logic.
"I have earned every cent. And in all of my years of public life I have never obstructed justice," Mr. NixonRather said.
"People have got to know whether or not their PresidentNewsreader is a crook. Well, I'm not a crook. I've earned everything I've got."
Most liberals like Eleanor Clift, Malveaux, or Estrich just make me sick to my stomach. But I've listened to Mara on NPR for years on my way home from work (radio only gets a few stations!) and I don't find her revolting. Yes, a consistent liberal slant but not repulsive!
Not True - Read Joe Kline in Time. All You Have to Do Is Believe(can't believe we are losing to Bush!)
Read Democratic National Commitee Website.
Democrats Still Say Bush Dishonored Guard
The truth doesn't matter and they have no shame.
I am outraged!!!!
I'm sorry I missed this as well. How stupid does Dan Rather think we all are? Shows how dumb he sure that's for sure.
Re: Mara trying to bring conversation back to the CONTENT of the documents"
That's the Democratic mantra: Forget they are forgeries, let's discuss the content. But the only reason someone would forge them is to put FALSE content into play.
Juan Williams tried the same thing on Sunday and they let him slide on it.

There's NO WAY he could have looked at these memos and not had his suspicion aroused. He is just flat-out lying and has been from the beginning.
That's exactly my take on it. There's no way that CBS News was duped.
Scarborough Country is also giving a good treatment to the story, They have Heavy hitters from the MSM basically conceding that Dan is blowing it and that the documents are basically fake. Howard Fineman said that what's at stake here is the credibility of the MSM, that the danger is that CBS looks like Democrat Partisan.
Yeah, and they won't release them because they know they will not stand up to scrutiny.
Real ethical journalism there, Dan. Because you want it to be true you manufacture second class forgeries and pawn them off in prime time.
Well, CBS and their "big star" Dan Rather may as well have made the Docs themselves since they will not budge to any type of independent authentication or sourcing.
But anyone with any true insight has little doubt where these forgeries came from, and it's absolutely poisoned the well for democrats.
Go Dan Go! Keep right on denying. We're loving it.
Amen duckln!.........you have just made a fan of yours (whether you want it or not).*~*
