Why is this the only multi-word quote from Hodges?
"well if he wrote them that's what he felt."
Still no denial from the WH either? Their silence is deafening.
I think Dan Rather is senile and that DeSPURate is his nephew.
Why is this the only multi-word quote from Hodges?
"well if he wrote them that's what he felt."
Still no denial from the WH either? Their silence is deafening.
Why would the WH have to issue a denial?
This thing is blowing up in the face of CBS and the Demoncrats, and all they have to do is sit back and watch it.
The public backlash is going to give Bush an even bigger boost. , it might put the nail in Kerry's coffin if it is determined that CBS forged do ents to attack Bush, especially if it can in anyway be traced back to the Democratic party (which seems to already be happening).
In short, the WH is smart for keeping its collective mouth shut on this, CBS might drop the election right in Bush's lap without the WH even commenting on it.
These are cute little GIFs you're showing us, DeSPURado, but i wonder if you've ever seen the deterioration caused by copy and fax machines. It's often more drastic that the difference shown in your pictures.
Nice GIF DeSPURate...what's it show?
...uncle?
More challenges about whether Bush do ents are authentic
By Pete Slover
The Dallas Morning News
AUSTIN, Texas — The man named in a disputed memo as exerting pressure to "sugarcoat" George W. Bush's military record left the Texas Air National Guard a year and a half before the memo supposedly was written, his service record shows.
An order obtained by The Dallas Morning News shows that Col. Walter "Buck" Staudt was honorably discharged March 1, 1972. CBS News reported this week that a memo in which Staudt was described as interfering with officers' negative evaluations of the future president's service was dated Aug. 18, 1973.
<There's More>
Then there's this. No only is Ratherbiased's "expert," and expert in handwriting -- not typography -- he's apparently a rather unethical one:
The Expert AmbushExcerpt:
How to hold off your opponent until the cavalry arrives.
RATHERBIASED'S EXPERT>>By: Marcel Matley<<RATHERBIASED'S EXPERT
"The expert ambush need not be a handwriting expert [<< or a typography expert -Y.]; it could be any kind of expert. Since I know about handwriting, I will use it to illustrate how to hold out until you can call in your own expert trooper, of whatever brand expert. Not being an attorney, I cannot tell you about laws and rules, only about techniques for taking the upper hand over the expert who knows it all, while you know nothing at all about that expertise."
And this:
Oooops, messy journalism there, Dan.
"Retired Maj. General Hodges, Killian's supervisor at the Grd, tells ABC News that he feels CBS misled him about the do ents they uncovered. According to Hodges, CBS told him the do ents were 'handwritten' and after CBS read him excerpts he said, 'well if he wrote them that's what he felt.'"
"Hodges also said he did not see the do ents in the 70's and he cannot authenticate the do ents or the contents. His personal belief is that the do ents have been 'computer generated' and are a 'fraud'."
And, let's not forget Amy Barnes calling her dad a liar on the radio:
So, Dan, you keep talking about fonts and superscripts and such. We'll just watch Dan Rather's career and John Kerry's Presidential campaign go down in flames.AUDIO - Daughter of Ben Barnes Disputes Father's Claims as Political
CROWLEY: "So, I hate to put you in this position, but I will ask you, do you think your father, Ben Barnes who was on '60 Minutes II' with Dan Rather last night – do you believe that he lied on the air to the American people last night about President Bush?"
BARNES: "Yes, I do. I absolutely do. And I think he's doing he's doing it for purely political, opportunistic reasons – trying to get John Kerry elected and trying to make Bush look like the bad person. ... Like I said, he's going to be trying to promote his book that he's got coming out."
Mind if I call you Nero from here out?
Wait! There's more.
Apparently, Dan nixed airing an interview with the President's roommate at the time because, it didn't fit the "template." He was too "Pro-Bush."
No, there's no agenda here...
In addition to challenging the central premise of the CBS report - that his father felt pressured to cover up Bush's allegedly sub par Guard performance - Gary Killian urged ['60 Minutes producer Mary] Mapes to interview Dean Roome, who roomed with Bush during his time in the Guard.
Ms. Mapes explained that "60 Minutes" had already conducted the interview, but was unlikely to include Roome's account in their report, telling Killian Jr.: "We think he is pretty pro-Bush."
Killian detailed his interview with Mapes to ABC radio host Sean Hannity on Friday, explaining that both he and his stepmother had been contacted by "60 Minutes."
But like Roome, their comments wound up on the cutting room floor.
How can this be, I thought there was a conservative slant in the media.
Or at least that's what Nbadunce tells me.

Still waiting to hear from DeSPURate or Nbadan on these issues.
Well, like a typical liberal, when the going gets tough they change the topic.
I can't figure out what it's gonna be though...
1. Bush invaded Iraq for oil.
2. It wasn't AQ on 9/11, it was a WH conspiracy
3. Bush smoked weed when he was young.
4. [insert new Michael Moore film here]
The truth is always the best cleanser of scoundrels and weasels, and eventually the truth will be told...So, Dan, you keep talking about fonts and superscripts and such. We'll just watch Dan Rather's career and John Kerry's Presidential campaign go down in flames.
Looks like Bouffard now knows the truth...
Boston.comAfter CBS News on Wednesday trumpeted newly discovered do ents that referred to a 1973 effort to ''sugar coat" President Bush's service record in the Texas Air National Guard, the network almost immediately faced charges that the do ents were forgeries, with typography that was not available on typewriters used at that time.
But specialists interviewed by the Globe and some other news organizations say the specialized characters used in the do ents, and the type format, were common to electric typewriters in wide use in the early 1970s, when Bush was a first lieutenant.
(SNIP)
Bouffard, the Ohio do ent specialist, said that he had dismissed the Bush do ents in an interview with The New York Times because the letters and formatting of the Bush memos did not match any of the 4,000 samples in his database. But Bouffard yesterday said that he had not considered one of the machines whose type is not logged in his database: the IBM Selectric Composer. Once he compared the Bush memos to Selectric Composer samples obtained from Interpol, the international police agency, Bouffard said his view shifted.
Let's consider other quotes by Ms. Barnes. on the Sean Insannity show, not surpringly, less than 48 hours after Ben Barnes made his allegations against W on 60 minutesAnd, let's not forget Amy Barnes calling her dad a liar on the radio:
"I am a avid Bush Supporter"
"I love Bush so much, I can't hardly see straight, always have always will"
"I was only 6 years old when my dad first mentioned George Bush"
"I voted for Bush in 2000"
and on and on and on...

yeah, no bias there from Ms. Barnes
Apparently, Dan nixed airing an interview with the President's roommate at the time because, it didn't fit the "template." He was too "Pro-Bush."![]()
Yeah, and Killian's fast turnaround on the Sean Insanity show did nothing to dispel the speculation that he, and most likely Roome were busy planning to play partisan politics with this whole issue about already vetted do ents. I'm telling you, there's no better way to shoot your credibility down the crapper than to appear on that show, not surprisingly, the only national show he and Ms. Barnes have appear on (and on the same day), after all, we all know how Sean throws softballs to his 'Great American' guests.
Nice.
I thought you'd stay with fonts and superscripts.
And Amy Barnes never told a contradictory story under oath.
You're speculating about Roome.
What about the handwriting expert?
HERE’S “INSIDE SKINNY” ON THE RATHER-BUSH/GOP SMACKDOWN!
Dan Rather is a Texas native. He was born and raised outside Houston and then after completing college, cut his television journalist teeth at a National network station in Houston.
He took on the Bush Family "Texas Mafia"(BFTM) several times in the early 70's, and this current situation is more of the "blood feud" between he and H.W. Bush. Dan Rather is very solid, a real pro, first-class credibility (unlike those flake GOP-ops reporters at Fox), and will NOT back down from a deal that he knows he is right. I/we have never seen Dan do it once in 35 years!
The Bush Family Texas Mafia (BFTM) tries to destroy anyone that takes them on, just look at their damn track record. You all know this!
More importantly, we will make some phone calls on this deal, and in particular if CBS “60 Minutes” has something cooking to bag the BFTM on several matters we are aware. We keep hearing "little things" on this subject, plus the Washington Post has been digging on this next deal for over a year.
It has to do with the Bush Family corruption, do ents the Fed accidentally discovered at Enron (which was a Bush Family business "front operation"), and Bush's "War Dog" House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (Houston) being under a massive Texas criminal grand jury investigation, for fraud, bribery, extortion, money laundering, and criminal abuse of his political office.
The big kicker is Bob “$200,000 donor to O’Neill’s SBVT” Perry (Houston) is involved with DeLay in his criminal enterprise and we mean BIG TIME! Also eleven (11) other BFTM members are involved, in varying degree, including the Texas Governor and other ranking elected State officials, and many of them could go to jail over this deal.
The BFTM is doing everything possible to keep the lid on it, and also get W elected. BFTM needs W elected so he can do Presidential Pardons for BFTM Enron buddies, (Ken Lay), DeLay, Perry, and others that get convicted and sent to prison over this massive criminal enterprise.
That in a nuts is what’s going on with all the Bush-Cheney-GOP totally outright fraud in their campaign. They don’t have a platform to run on, so the con and fraud game is all they got!
They are going nuts because Rather stuck his nose in it. If you recall Dan Rather has stayed pretty neutral in his reporting on the O’Neill-SBVT fraud scam. We know, what I just delineated, because we are well connected Republicans, have several influential Houstonians in our “Beat Bush” cartel, along with two Houston criminal attorney’s – NKR
PS: It should be noted that CBS is owned by Viacom. 70-75% of campaign donations by Viacom (VIA) executives and its political action committee, have gone to the Democratic Party and its candidates. Just some interest info, nothing else!

So, it's nice to know we have a vendetta-seeking asshole masquerading as an objective journalist.
Surely, his zeal for a negative story wouldn't cause him to fudge the facts or jump to conclusions or supress exculpatory information...nah.
I noticed they talked about Perry and his $200,000 donation to the Swiftees who, spent about $500,000 punching holes in the U.S.S. Lying Kerry.
But, has anyone said anything, in the mainstream media, about this Soros character giving over $5,000,000 to MoveOn.org, and organization that has spent about $10,000,000 bashing Bush, without affect?
New Killian memos have also surfaced that support CBS's story..
New CBS Do ents
Do ent 5 is the kicker.
I'm betting they've hired a new forger with a better product.
Ruh Roh, Rastro!
They should have, maybe, consulted with some do ent experts before they created them, huh?
Well, make that three 'experts', with DeSPURate and Nbadan.
