"Dan Rather slutter"
Looks like a tagline to me.
"Who decided to use forged documents in bringing President down?"
I also missed any reference to the contacts between CBS and the DNC. Guess they didn't think that was important.
I've forgoten now... wasn't the last whacko theory put out by Rather and the libs is that the TANG actually had spent over $40,000 to buy one of those special-order, custom-made typewriters that if you manually manipulated it in just the right way by resetting paper after each typed line and changing the font balls, etc, etc, that you could almost reproduce the documents and so they could not possibly be fakes? Idiots.
Isn't it amazing that NOBODY at cBS want to know WHO actually forged the documents that brought down the tiffany network? Their silence is very revealing. Dan Rather has become the man that he has hated most.....Richard Nixon!
SLUTTER: Dan Rather slutter i CBS like etter at bloggere tok han i løgn. Selv sier han det ikke har noen sammenheng.
Nitten minutter etter sendingen skriver TankerKC på webloggen FreeRepublic:
WE NEED TO SEE THOSE MEMOS AGAIN! They are not in the style that we used when I came in to the USAF. They looked like the style and format we started using about 12 years ago (1992). Our signature blocks were left justified, now they are rigth of center...like the ones they just showed. Can we get a copy of those memos?
Meldingen fikk flere til å fatte interesse for saken. Fire timer senere svarer Buckhead i den samme webloggen:
Howlin, every single one of these memos to file is in a proportionally spaced font, probably Palatino or Times New Roman. In 1972 people used typewriters for this sort of thing, and typewriters used monospaced fonts. The use of proportionally spaced fonts did not come into common use for office memos until the introduction of laser printers, word processing software, and personal computers. They were not widespread until the mid to late 90's. Before then, you needed typesetting equipment, and that wasn't used for personal memos to file. Even the Wang systems that were dominant in the mid 80's used monospaced fonts. I am saying these documents are forgeries, run through a copier for 15 generations to make them look old. This should be pursued aggressively.
Dagen etter dukket det opp en tilnærmet eksakt reproduksjon av dokumentet på nettstedet Little Green Footballs laget av 'Power Line'. Orddelingen, mellomrommene mellom ordene og bokstavene, linjeskiftene. Plasseringen av datolinjen. Alt passet perfekt sammen med det bloggeren hadde reprodusert i Word. Flere andre lagde overbevisende sammenlikninger mellom memoene og egenproduserte dokumenter.
Another thing...what were the "other things" they had besides the documents?
So Dave Letterman decided to make a joke of this incident. We already know that Mr. Rather is deluded- now we know Letterman is a whore- and a smug one, at that.
I wonder what it means!!!
Cool! So Dan Rather is a "slutter"? ;-D
Check out post #40!
I think that is Norwegian, but I can't help thinking that when read aloud is sounds like the Muppet's Swedish chef.
here they say the investigation couldn't prove they they are bias... couldn't prove a POSITIVE, but they couldn't prove that they aren't either!!!
LETTERMAN: Secondly, they could not prove the documents were false.
RATHER: That's correct.
NOW... they want the investigation to prove a NEGATIVE, that they are false!!!
a just investigation would be one that rather has to prove he's NOT bias and that the documents ARE real, not the other way round.
Funny that number $40,0000 would be mentioned....
If they spent $5,000,000 in four months, it breaks down to $41,666 per day
They could have paid 83 Freepers over $500 per day to investigate for them. (and the Freepers would have taken the last 119 days off on paid leave)
Quits: Dan Rather quits from CBS after bloggers caught him lying. He (Rather) claim his resignation is not related.
Ninteen minutes after the broadcast TankerKC writes in the weblogg FreeRepublic:

That message caught the attention of others. Four hours later Buckhead replies in the same weblogg:

The next day, a pretty much exact reproduction of the document (the forgery) was published on the Little Green Footballs website, made by 'Power Line'. The spacing, the typeset, the placement of the dateline, everything from the forged documents was matched exactly in the document that bloggers had produced in (MS)Word. Several others made believable comparisons between the memos and documents that they produced themselves.

There you are :-) The article is fairly straight forward. I am sorry to tell you that Slutter just means quits.
Cheers.
