...some gifted amateurs in Middle-western suburbs had proven that the documents could not be genuine

IIRC Buckhead is a southeasterner from Atlanta, Ga.

Thank the LORD....the commie news networks are history. ;o)

They can fool some of the people some of the time but not all the time.

[F.J. Mitchell]

As Jackie Gleason used to say:

" How SWEET IT IS!!!!!!"

[Grampa Dave]

Note to the left wing maggots in charge of CBS phoney news. We have our eye on your eye!

[Mr. K]

and THEN the G$%DA#$ BASTIGE had THE NERVE to say to the president [nevermnind whether the documents were forged....]"with respect, answer the questions"


IN A FARGIN FORGED DOCUMENT?????????

[Libertina]

Americans tuned out politics and tuned in to "The Decline and Fall of Dan Rather.
A lie in the first sentence? Dan Rather IS politics - his POLIICAL BIAS was the very reason for the attack on the President.

[dead]

My favorite DU quote from those heady days:

[Buck W.]

We can celebrate Rather's demise in part because the forgeries were so ineptly done. However, what if they were not so obviously phonies? The scam might have worked, despite the bloggers.

[valleygal]

I asked the same thing about a month or more ago. Buckhead is still here.

[TASMANIANRED]

The MSM will resent the schlit out of it , but the Pajama Patrool will drag them kicking and screaming into more responsible reporting.

Competition and scrutiny improves all products.

[F.J. Mitchell]

A double BUMP! on that, Travis.

Jim Robinson, what hast thou wrought???

Thanks Jim, thanks John, Sa-a-a-alute!!!!

[Prime Choice]

I'm kidding....I'm a kidder....

Hee! :o)

OF COURSE PC IS RIGHT!

Woohoo! I'm saving that one to show the wife! Look, honey! I was actually right! Take a picture!

;o)

[maica]

We Freepers all know how Howlin, Buckhead, etc began to question the documents, but do we know who or how CBS decided to post them in .pdf so that they were accessible for this examination?

I have to believe either in angels, or in a mole within the CBS/60 Minutes organization, miking that decision.

[johnny7]

RATher has not sufficiently been punished for ANYTHING... he just RETIRED. Where's the results of that so-called 'investigation'?

He's been getting tributes from all the kiss-a$$e$ like Brokjaw, O'Really and Maphews but nobody's condemning the motherf__ker!

[chronotrigger]

The MSM would love to be able to regulate the internet and I have no doubt that between them and their politician buddies, they'll be looking for a way to do it.

They'll probably try to tax it. Tax emails, membership in on-line clubs, organizations, blogg sites (like Free republic), etc.

[elbucko]

Well done.

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks!

The credit goes to the conservative political cartoonists and the Freeper Graphic Art Experts.

[maine-iac7]

they'll squeeze their political bedmates to start regulating the Internet.

And why do you think the UN plans to take charge of the Internet?

And who would've handed them that - along with the rest of their One World Government plans?
