The people who produced this (apparently) fake document are certainly quite familiar with the Rathergate memo and all the analysis that went into exposing THAT cheap forgery. This forgery is much better, but still an obvious forgery. I suspect that this fake document was MEANT to be uncovered by internet warriors.

Personally, this looks to me like another one of those planted John Kerry/Alexandra Polier scandals. The rats plant fake scandals like seeds in order to innoculate themselves from the real scandals that they know will come up later.

In the hopes of course on muting the real scandals by a burn out factor as we have seen here with this one already...

These threads are attacked constantly by those that don’t want these things pursued, what are they going to do when a real scandal breaks ignore it as well?

And isn’t a deliberate forgery still a forgery even if it is meant to be exposed as such?

"I suspect that this fake document was MEANT to be uncovered by internet warriors."

That's what I've been wondering about -- assuming for a moment that this is not being put out only by one demented DailyKosFreak, someone WANTS this fraudulent doc to be exposed -- WHY? To create a blog-swarm so that there is publicity for this issue, and then the real doc is released and it makes the blogosphere look foolish?? There has to be a motive for putting out such an obviously fake doc in the wake of Rathergate..... the most plausible motive would be to provide a kind of innoculation so that in coming months other Obama scandals are discounted in advance by MSM and the public, critics are viewed as obsessive and foolish, etc.?? We can be correct in exposing THIS doc as a fake and yet end up looking foolish if/when there is a real Obama birth certificate that does not raise any red flags......

Except it was prominnetly flagged on his own anti-smear site. This is trouuuuuble.
