What CBS used to prove the story would be laughed out of any Court as evidence.
These Dimcrats are so foolish!
THEY DON'T HAVE THE ORIGINALS!!!!!!
AND THEY WANT US TO BELIEVE THEY ARE AUTHENTIC??? That's why all the experts are hedging their bets, saying they're 99% sure the documents are forged.
Just as sKerry wants us all to believe his account of his medals but won't sign the 180, Rather now wants us to take his word without producing the originals.
They think we're stupid!!
HERE"S THE PROOF:

Folks we need to keep facts straight to keep our credibility. Barnes was not Attorney General,he was Lt Governor but not in 1968 May when George W Bush joined the TANG. Also since the Texas Legislature only met every two years they did not meet in the even year (1968),and Barnes was off out of the Country as an Ambassador to the UN. Barnes did not take office as an influential Lt Gov until 1969. This has been repeated over the last week in thread after thread.
Oh, that one has to be a forgery, too. Everyone knows the correct rank designation is "Ossifer." ;)
Ha!ha! You are so right! see my post 63. Great minds think alike.
I predict that Rather will be forced to retire, and the sooner the better.
This is not correct. That paper is reporting, correctly, that the General who the LTC says is applying pressure to him, retired 18 months before the memo was written.
Please try to keep the record straight. CBS will not do it, we must.
Excellent!
We are all political operatives now!
The only thing missing is the real official signature...
Epstein's Mother.
lmao... belly laugh on that one.
"The media won't inspect this in any detail"
It is going to take a young journalist who wants to make a name for him/herself to break this wide open. I betcha there are some out there who have visions of being the next Woodward/Bernstein. Hopefully they are seeking the TRUTH.
"We are all political operatives now!"
LOL, the pajama clad brigade. I was amused by this characterization, but even more so by the implication that we are free to state things that are not factual. The person who made that remark obviously had no familiarity with FR where avery inaccuracy is jumped all over in nanoseconds. Just another one of the things I love about this place.
The amazing thing is how Rather is willing to throw everything he has at something so minor that if true would still pale in comparison to what the Swift Boat veterans are saying.
And if Bush did use his power to avoid a few weeks of service, HE DIDN'T PROTEST AGAINST HIS COUNTRYMEN WHO WERE STILL FIGHTING AND DYING WITH HONOR.
I'm willing to bet that, if pressed, CBS will state that the original memos were long ago destroyed and all they had to work with were copies several generations removed. If they had the original memos their "expert" would've worked with them. But they accepted copies because they said what CBS wanted them to say.
I suggested Thursday night, when forgery was first suggested and freepers were all over the possibility, that the paper could perhaps be dated, but someone airly said that that there was "plenty of '72 paper lying around."
Bush enters TNG May 1968
Barnes is Lt. Gov in month (?) 1969
Barnes helped Bush "re-enter" the NG.
Barnes has a very dirty history. ie funny money!!!
