I think we have only seen the very tip of the iceberg on this whole topic.

The DNC could not air the memos themselves without fear of backlash. Since they had the documents, they couldn't legally coordinate with a 527, like Move On.org. Going to the networks was a sanitary way to get the smear out without the sticky problem of the DNC having their fingerprints on them. Journalists can protect their sources.

But, CBS got sloppy and posted the .pdf files. If they had simply run with the story, they would have never been found out. The WH and the RNC would not raise the question since it would have only led to a broader story than the orginal broadcast. The PajamaHademe would not have had the credentials to challenge CBS to see the originals.

Thanks to someone at CBS for being too smart by half and posting those docs to add "gravitas" to their story.

Could that someone be a Freeper?

"Tony Coelho Admits on Hardball that the DNC Had Forged Memos Before CBS News Saw Them"

I guess we have a Vast Idiot Liberal Conspiracy brewing here. The little fanatics are in panic mode.
