MSNBC's Hardball Just Had Dean's Former Campaign Manager Float New "Theory"

Dean's former campaign Manager just mentioned a "theory" he heard that the documents were actually made in 1972, but were later scanned, changing the font.

Can you believe how desperate the liberals are? Did it also change the terminology from Air Force to Army? Did it also change the signature? Did it also change the retirement date for General Staudt?

They will never concede the documents are forgeries. This will live on in liberal mythology forever. Like the October Surprise.

Wesley Clark's manager is saying the memos involved time travel.

but were later scanned, changing the font.

Hey I WANT a scanner that can do that!

[GeorgiaYankee]

see my response here
according to LGF image enhancement, the document was CRUMPLED in an attempt to make it look old!

It's called desperation....

It's called delusion. It can be dangerous. Vide the "international Zionist conspiracy" flew remote controlled planed into the WTC nonsense hundreds of millions of Moslems "believe."

Kerry believes he was in Cambodia, and that Nixon was in the White House then, too. He repeated the story 50 times.

Sick stuff. At best it is funny. At worst it is genocidally dangerous.

Scanning a document doesn't change any font. What a crock.

[hinckley buzzard]

"Still, what Trippi was up to with the "I'm a reasonable man" approach was interesting"

Remember, the DNC/Kerry campaign are colluders in the crime, so they have to protect themselves during the cover-up after the fact. Anything to divert attention away from themselves. They are not about to trust the buffoons at CBS to protect their necks.

[Hank All-American]

I guess they need to just tell each other whatever it takes to get them through the day.

[Xenalyte]

Oh, man, I would love to use that as my tagline.

[EternalHope]

There's a really big story here:
Dean's campaign manager thinks scanning changes fonts!

(With this kind of expertise, no wonder the Dem's forgery was so poorly done...)

[cyncooper]

That is EXACTLY what I was thinking.

I think Trippi senses the investigative agencies will be moving ahead on this one.

Hooray!

[cardinal4]

Just so I understand this, the scanner changed the font?

[chesty_puller]

I go to DU maybe 10 times a day. Living in the country in Texas I have no experience with these kind of people. It's absolutely incredible! Their hate, their dementia! It's scary.

[Pete'sWife]

Yup.

I scanned a recipie for lazagna, and a recipie for oatmeal cookies came up on the screen.

But the cookies tasted JUST LIKE LAZAGNA!

It was the darndest thing.

[VadeRetro]

Have a ball with it. I have no idea what I make up and what I've stolen anymore.

[MrsEmmaPeel]

Just today I had a need to go from Mac OS Roman Code Page to the Code Page used by Windows (example ascii character 170 is different between the 2 OSs) and I sure could use a scanner like that.

[counterpunch]

I've used OCR software extensively about 10 years ago, and found it to be more trouble than it was worth. The slightest thing would cause it to chage a "g" to a "5" and other such craziness. It was maddening!

Yes, which they will say is why the dates are wrong, because some things were altered in scanning.

It's a prepostrous theory on a totally discredited story.
Only the loony left will embrace it, and even they will know its ridiculous. But they won't be honest about that of course. They will pretend it is credible. They only care about advancing an agenda, even if it means looking stupid to reasonable people.

My concern is when the "real" documents that these forgeries were "scanned" or "transcribed" from suddenly turn up.
I'm pretty sure they will be scoffed at, but you never know the extent many in the media will go to in order to manipulate the public.
Just look at Dan Rather.

This was posted here on FR by trolls yesterday - newbie claiming to be copier repairman with a couple good points (like why CBS won't come clean) interspersed with a lot of totally illogical stuff leading to this exact same conclusion. Obvious talking points from a desperate DNC.

[TheyConvictedOglethorpe]

They think that because soemone COULD do a thing that that means that possibility can't be closed off. It doesn't matter how ridiculous or how easily it can be demonstrated just how remote or implausible these things are they'll cling to it.

Clearly they've never heard of Occam's Razor -- and boy, do these guys need to take a shave.

[Ruddles]

Another theory: OCR scanning technology back-engineered from 1960s movie about little alien mutants with glazed bug-eyes -- "Village of the Danned"

[Dolphy]

What can we expect from them? If they thought their first attempt at creating authentic documents was a good effort, they aren't about to start acting like geniuses now.
