Has Bush* specifically denied
the serious allegations in those "questionable" memos?

I understand the position now is that while not clearly genuine, the memos are "accurate" -- according to the secretary -- and this is being laughed at by the Freephead community. Which seems to mean that they regard faking a memo as a more serious offense than disobeying a direct order from a military superior.

But, in any case, they are serious allegations. Has the candidate specifically denied them? If so, can links be supplied? if not, why not?

2. The manner by which the information was delivered................
is dramatically more important the the information itself.
It's like saying that the bullet that hit you and is causing your death should be ignored because someone told you it was fired from a .45 when in reality it was only a .22

3. No. They just keep repeating
that he got an honorable discharge. Those questions need to be asked over and over until an answer is forced out of him!

4. Never denied them, actualy passed them around to media
No, they never denied them or stated they were fakes. They passed them around after they were released.

Even now, they will not discuss the contents of the memos, but say there should be an investigation. But side step the issue if the information was correct. Even point out that they passed them out when they were "found" by CBS, etc. When the subject of what the memos cover comes up, they go straight to what they have always said on this subject. "He was honorably discharged".
