In the interest of the historical importance of things that happened on this forum last week and, most importantly, to try to provide and document an accurate record of exactly what happened here on the evening of September 8, 2004, and the following morning, I have compiled a listing of ALL of the postings that occurred on Free Republic concerning CBS and Dan Rather 60 Minutes show from 8:00 PM EDT on Thurdsay, September 8, 2004, up until about 9:00 AM EDT on the morning of Friday, September 9, 2004, when the rest of the internet "caught up."
I am posting this thread for two reason.
First, to document the facts as we all know them to be -- and to try to put to rest the dubious claims that have been made concerning exactly how this all came about and exactly who "brought" it about.
Perhaps I am doing this to try to set the record straight, so as no one else will believe we are anything other than who we are: a bunch of really cool people (in Freeperware) from all across this country and from all walks of life with a passion for this country and for the truth who are lucky enough to know a man like Jim Robinson who decided to make this his life's work and give us all a place to rant/vent/question/opine/whine/relish the events that go on about us.
And, secondly, to remind everybody that even though Buckhead, TankerKC, and myself are the names mentioned in the blogs and articles concerning that night, it was, as it always is here on Free Republic, many, many posters; numerous questions were raised BEFORE the famous post #47.

Yep
The instant the memos came out the proportional font stood out for just about everyone. Typewriters don’t do proportional spaced fonts.
I think that news babe cleared it all up in her book. You see, when you make several copies of a document, it gets blurry and beings to resemble a document created in Microsoft Word. So, yeah.
It would’ve been a greater win of Bush wasn’t Deep state piece of ...

Take good care of it! COLLECTOR ITEM.
She could _never_ admit she was a liar and a fraud.
That is what still blows my mind about this entire incident.
FR now has a long and illustrious history of determination to dig into the depths of the swamp and the media—without fear or favor.
They can intimidate, blackmail or bribe every authority figure on the planet—but they will still have _us_ to deal with...
So very true
What an awesome time it was.
Hmm. So skypilot might be a troll?
