Very interesting comment.

I remember walking into a bar with my wife when this started to shake out. I hadn't ever heard about the "typeface" BS. But this "friend" had all the talking points lined up to assail me with. "That fake type on the Rather documents... etc etc."

"What are you talking about," I asked. He preceded to tell me that Rather had put some docs out that were such obvious forgeries.

"What are you talking about," I asked again. Mr RW friend told me that the typrwriters did not exist at that time period, and it was obvious that word processors of the computer age were used. Man, he heard talking points rather quickly from somewhere. I was stunned. I had nothing to come back with.

That night, I got out the old internet and looked up what I could find. RW, LW, everybody comparing fonts. I compared with the best of them. Like I said, I've used these old Selectrics, a lot, and to me it was a typewriter, not a word processer.

But the bell had been rung. The talking point meme was out. My "friend" at the bar had heard it before me. I had no ammo when I had walked in.

Now I had to disprove it. Much after the fact. Who remembers after the fact?

Nobody.

This is what we are up against all the time.

Lies that take on the patina of truth. History now rewritten by liars.
The RW Hate Radio guys like to quote Churchill (who would hate them)..."History is written by the victors."

They take it to mean, like Hitler, you can rewrite history for your choosing. Churchill was more inclined to mean that despots would not have their history memorialized.
