Who is "Buckhead" for the WBEZ tapes?
Remember 2004, Dan Rather, the "fake but accurate" memo, and a poster on Freerepublic.com named "Buckhead" who was the first to spot the fact that something was not quite right about that memo?
Well, now we have the tapes of Obama, Ayers, et al., in the WBEZ (Chicago National Proletarian Radio) archives that, as far as Obama being a socialist, are like the punchline to the old joke where the guy asks the girl if she'd sleep with him for a million dollars, and she says, "Sure!".
Then he asks her if she'd sleep with him for a quarter, and her indignant response is, "What kind of a girl do you think I am?"
He replies, "We've already settled that question, now we're just arguing about the price."
But I digress.
I first saw this on one of the PUMA blogs, but the problem with the blogosphere is frequently figuring out just where something viral originated.
So I'm asking, "Who found this first?"
BTW, I still maintain that we haven't seen youthful enthusiasm in a political campaign since McGovern in 1972. And we all know how well that worked out.
I predict McCain/Palin will win big.
And many, many thanks to the PUMAs.
They are more high-spirited now than a good number of rather dour Republicans are at this point.
It is a scary time in America, when someone who exposes the lies of the politicians will now have to live in fear of retribution, if Obama wins.
They are archived online, 2000-2005 are listed by interviewee/subject.
1998-99 are online but not cataloged.
I have sent an email to nakedemperornews asking if they were the original finder of these, and, if not, where they found them.
Because these are the first things since “spread the wealth* that’s really sticking to the 0.
And they may well affect the outcome of the election.
Bill Whittle at NRO said when this broke that he knows who did this, it is a lone blogger doing the job the MSM refuses to do. Email him, but I think whoever it is will want to remain anonymous, for reasons that one of our Presidential candidates is a fascist thug.
Thanks for the tip.
I understand why the individual in question would want to do so for fear of getting “Joe-The-Plumbered”...
I don’t think you can dig up something that has a signficant influence on an election and remain anonymous.
And it’s difficult— not impossible— but difficult— to do anything online and remain truly anonymous...especially when the assets of government agencies are used to go after you.
I’ll drop the inquiry, now, thank you very much— but I’ve asked the question now, and there will undoubtedly be others who will be asking it.

Great minds, hehehehe.
I think I coined a neologism- “Joe-the-Plumbered”.
