Please explain...
Buckhead was the Freeper who showed that the Texas Air National Guard memo pushed by CBS and Dan Rather against George W. Bush was fake. And it was convincing. I still remember the thread....
a Free Republic poster named “BUCKHEAD” caught Dan Rather and CBS News using phony documents right before the 2004 election....it destroyed Rathers career at CBS news. Amazing memory...
Buckhead is/was a FReeper from Buckhead area of Atlanta. On the night Dan Rather reported on the Memo from the Air National Guard Unit, Buckhead noticed the font of the memo could not exist. The type writers of that era did not have that font available. Buckhead posited that this was a fake.
He was correct and Rather was shamed.
There were many other freepers noticing other discrepencies, but Buckheads’ was the greatest.
(Please correct me if I am wrong. That’s how how I remember it.)

WE NEED TO SEE THOSE MEMOS AGAIN!
They are not in the style that we used when I came in to the USAF. They looked like the style and format we started using about 12 years ago (1992). Our signature blocks were left justified, now they are rigth of center...like the ones they just showed.
Can we get a copy of those memos?
