BS:

As an old CBS'er I can tell you the documents were totaly disproved, largly due to work on FR.

#1: The forged documents were typed in Times Roman. Times Roman was a very rare font, not used by typewriers. Tehy used Pica, Courier and Elite, not TR. TR became popular with word processors, not before.

#2: The zip codes for certain addresses for current in 2004, but had never been used until 17 years after the letters were supposedly written.

#3: The abreviations for terms like Squadren, Temporary Duty amd oters were Army, USAR and ARNG, not USAFR.

#4: The superscript in the purpoted memo was not available on ant USAF or USAFR typewriter for decades after the memo date.

Bottom line; it was total BS, and Rather knew if from atleast 24 hours after the story aired. His producer, the hard-leftist Mapes, knew if before ther story ran.

And I think the longer we go, nobody has ever proven that the documents were not what they purported to be, and after this length of time and given the controversy and high profile of it, my view is that if they were not genuine, by this time somebody would’ve come forward and said here’s the proof that they’re not. Nobody has done that.”

He intentionally overlooks Free Repblic's (and some other online forums') finest hours.

Memo to Dan Rather. What a lying, deceitful, forgery-mongering fungus you are.

(And always will be).

Oh, and just so you know...Lying about deceit and lying doesn't make it better, it makes it worse. There is no recovery for whatever good name you might have had..

The Rathergate unravelling was a high-watermark for FR......maybe the best work thats ever been done by people in pajamas

If I remember correctly, you could exactly duplicate the document by opening Word and typing using the default settings for font, margins, etc.

IOW, whoever forged it didn’t even bother to change the default settings. They just assumed the document would be accepted as real.

Prior to the Web, they would have been right.

Imagine the good he could have done, if he had just stuck to facts and good journalism. Imagine if he was still around in 2008 and had gone after Obama with even half the zeal he went after Bush!

A Dan Rather with his reputation in tact could have destroyed Obama with one show.

[Retired Chemist]

Interesting that Rather cancelled an appearance on Bill O’Reilly’s show. Maybe he didn’t want to answer some tough questions.

Off the meds again, Dan?

***Genuine but Fake but Accurate, yeah right

and settles scores with former colleagues who, as he writes, “after pretending to be friends for all those years, stealthily snuck around giving anonymous newspaper quotes and otherwise scheming to put the dirk in deep when I was down and hurting.”

Let me spell it out for you Kenneth ..

• You were a pompous assclown

• The people you refer to as "friends" never did like you ... but you were powerful and vindictive ... so they fawned all over you instead.

• When your own egotism inflicted a devastaing wound and stripped you of your power ... they gladly kicked you to the curb.

• You are still a pompous assclown.

"..nobody has ever proven that the documents were not what they purported to be,.."

You can't prove a negative Danny Dipstick! The propaganda theory of repetition only works if you have an audience.

Think of all the power Rather had and for how long. Scary!

Dan Rather......

“They’re real! They’re real! You kids get off my lawn! Whose cat’s been crapping in my garden again?”

[ops33]

If Dan Rather believes the documents to be genuine he has never given a good explination as to why they look so fake.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Will the real Lucy Ramirez step forward and save him ( crickets chirp )? Once again I ask Rather and his journo cronies if they were teaching a journalism class and a student came up with a story with iffy sources like this one had what kind of grade would they get?

[Political Junkie Too]

...nobody has ever proven that the documents were not what they purported to be...

Fortunately for us, Dan Rather did successfully prove once and for all that the MSM was NOT what they purported to be.
