Page 163, troops! WOO-HOO!

What's really interesting, though, is that neither the FR mention, nor the later reference to Little Green Footballs, bothers to discuss the single most damning aspect of the forgery, which is the famous "dissolve" between the CBS memo, and the identical one that was created in 2 minutes on a PC, using Word.

That alone absolutely shrieks "FRAUD, DAMMIT!!!" and yet it's not mentioned.

Way to go, Howlin. One person or a few people can really make a difference.

I'm still waiting to hear how you can authenticate a document from a copy.

Hi Howlin, thanks for your part in this, too. Coming to the FR ball so I can shake your hand?

1. \"The check is in the mail.\" 2. \"Sure I\'ll respect you in the morning.\" 3. \"I\'m from the government, and I am here to help you.\" 4. \"Trust me, I\'ll take care of everything.\" 5. \"Drinking? Why no officer.\" 6. \"I never watch television, except for PBS.\" 7. \"... but we can still be friends.\" 8. \"Don\'t worry, he\'s never bitten anyone.\" 9. \"I\'ve never done anything like this before.\" 10. \"... Then take a left, you can\'t miss it.\"

11. \ This wasn't politically motivated.

This is the only reporting that has actually given credit to Free Republic for being the first to catch these bogus docments

Speaking of which ... Did they find out WHO forged them???

[Howlin]

CBS says that Mapes ignored evidence that showed the report was bogus and told half-truths, per MSNBC.

[hobson]

Thanks! I knew you put one together but I couldn't find it in my bookmarks.

[Howlin]

I wish I could; I had already promised to stay with a relative who is having surgery before I knew it would be at the same time.

We'll be here online though!

[Howlin]

This is a good way to start the week, eh?

[Red Badger]

What's in YOUR WALLET?........

[Howlin]

I am very proud of us today!

Note to the left wing maggots in charge of CBS phoney news. We still have our truth eye on your lying eye!

PERFECT!

[MississippiMan]

I'm actually bordering on impressed with the CBS panel.

I was too, until I read the part where they conclude that there was no political agenda behind the story. That blew it all for me.

It is amazing that today is also the day that earthlink spam spamblocker has decided that Freerepublic is a potentially dangerous and fraudulent Web site make it a real headache to read this site today.

Looks like this might be our last day with earthlink.
