If it's the George Bush Inauguration Ball that FR held, I was there, but never got to meet Buckhead. I was on the thread that night when he exposed the fakery.
I remember it well. Such a legend.
Relative newcomer here, lurking for years before 2016, proud to be sitting in the room with y’all
Are you sure it was nd? I thought it was the superscript th. Maybe someone else remembers.
Indeed. Wow. I hadn’t thought about that in a long while.
Documents Suggest Special Treatment for Bush in Guard [Buckhead post 47]

Should have destroyed CBS too, because they admitted that they never verified the documents given to Rather by Jerry B. Killian.
Buckhead, a fellow Georgia Freeper, is a legend. I remember this like it was yesterday. Down goes Rather!!
Didn’t know “Truth” was a puff piece, although I should have expected that, despite a Freeper’s recommendation. Fifty-nine cents on amazon prime. Watched the first half, stopped for an intermission, and didn’t turn it back on. Depiction of the female lead’s father as a domestic violence abuser was grotesque.
The brief screen shown is FR’s forum page with the sidebar in blue font, while the actors discuss posts to a comment thread. Fun to see, but inaccurate.
There’s a scene where Blanchett’s character reads FR commentary on her physical appearance that does not make us look good. I didn’t even catch anything vulgar, although we have our share of that. Cringe posters are the price that we pay for the freedom from oppressive moderation censoring our speech. Honestly, I’ve always chalked the worst of the posts up to trolls.
>>”I still remember the thread....”
>>It’s still available for viewing. I found it a while back, but can’t find it now by doing a search. Maybe somebody else has that link saved. I was following the thread that night during the program.

Yeah, thanks. I eventually found it, and posted it on this thread too, like a few others did. It was an amazing night, when Buckhead claimed forgery, and the truth was too hard for CBS to hide and slither away from.
Mary Mapes should be in a prison cell not only for her illegal political contribution-in-kind, but also for forging documents in order to facilitate that crime.
It was the proportional font that gave it away. The old Selectric typewriters couldn’t do that.
That’s so cool.
We’re watching the movie now.
So cool to watch/hear someone read Buckhead’s OP, and see Mary Mapes scrolling through a Freerepublic thread on her computer.
what a memorable night it was here......
“what a memorable night it was here......”
I remember where I was when Rush announced it. At the courtyard at Kaiser Hospital in Woodland Park, CA, waiting for Hubby to bring the car around.
So it would’ve been Pacific time between 9 and noon.
We were a little surprised when watching the movie that the story seemed to be relatively fairly told, considering ... well ... Hollywood. Robert Redford, etc.
