This is intentionally blown up so we can read it,
and it might be wise to save a copy of this image to your computer, just in case the VILE Democrats decide to scrub the image from the internet.

The Paper Trail: A Comparison of Documents Dozens of inconsistencies are revealed by a side-by-side comparison of memos unearthed by CBS News with officially released memos signed by President Bush's commander in the Texas Air National Guard, Lt Col. Jerry B. Killian. Font experts say that the CBS memos, left were almost certainly written using modern word-processing software, in contrast to the previously released memos, right, which were written on a typewriter. Differences appear in the use of fonts, proportionate spacing and Air Force jargon and memo-writing etiquette. In addition, the writer of the CBS memos has used an out-of-date address for Bush and referred to an officer who has retired from the Texas Air National Guard. Experts have reproduced almost exact replicas of the CBS memos using Microsoft Word but have not been able to produce similar replicas on any typewriter that would have been available in 1973. -Michael Dobbs

It was a fun night. For some reason, I watched 60 Minutes that night and believed (hoped?) the story to be a fake, but simply because 1) It was Dan Rather, and 2) Bush was a fighter pilot that had volunteered to go to Vietnam. Not someone that would go AWOL.

Well before long Buckhead posted that he thought it was a fake story too, but he had better reasons than I did. All night long, posters piled on with more and more evidence that the docs were fake. It was a tour de force example of what Freepers could do to a fake story. As the night became early morning, other websites were posting the same thing, using the Free Republic posts as evidence to bolster their points. Such was the strength of the case that Freepers made that night.

Yes, it was a great night. I called into work the next day....Don't tell my boss.
