Wacko Dan Rather movie still insists forged Bush-National Guard documents were real

The classic definition of chutzpah — the guy who murders his parents and then begs for mercy because he’s an orphan — is getting a rewrite with the Oct. 16 release of “Truth,” a movie that insists forged documents are real.

Robert Redford, who makes no effort whatsoever to look or sound like Dan Rather, plays the CBS newsman undone after he presented to the public obviously forged documents about then-President George W. Bush’s Texas Air National Guard service in the early 1970s.

"I believe you can be an honest person and lie about any number of things." -- Dan Rather on The O'Reilly Factor, May 15, 2001

The clearest proof that the documents are fake is to ask someone to open MS Word on their PC and type the following three lines:
147th
147th
147 th

Note the space between the 7 and the t on the last line. The default operation in MS Word is to superscript the th on the first two lines, and leave it normal font on the third line.

The forged document had the same three instances in the document, naming Bush's Fighter Interceptor Wing. Two were superscripted, while the third wasn't. There is no typewriter in existence at the time the document was written that could replicate that.

Some zealots are claiming the IBM Selectric could. It would require replacing the ball, and manually moving the roll to type the 'th' between lines. It is not possible to do that and get the precise spacing between the lines. Anyone who might attempt that would not leave the third instance normal.

Liberals/progressives are impervious to evidence. If the facts contradict their narrow little ideology, then the facts are WRONG!

What progressives (lefties) believe about “truth”:

1. “You can lie about any number of things and still be considered an honest person.”
2. Truth is whatever serves The party.
3. If you repeat something often enough, it becomes true.
