I'm looking for where this all started. The media is crediting Powerline. Here is what I have so far:

on 9/9:

12:16a first official FR thread on the validity of the documents: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1210702/posts

7:51a powerline provides an extensive analysis: http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/007760.php

9:42a first FR thread referencing powerline: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1210946/posts

Does anyone have any corrections, addendums to the above?

Isn't it Bush who says you can accomplish all sorts of things if you don't care who gets the credit? Anyway...the Internet ROCKS! Bloggers are cool! Drudge is master of the Web(where would we be without him?)! And Free Republic is the best! Oh yeah, FOX News and conservative radio are awesome too. This one was a team effort.

Imagine if we were back in the days when ABC, NBC, and CBS really ran the information show.

There was an FR post made immediately after the broadcast on 9/8. I believe that the post was initiated by Howlin. Buckhead made the first definitive comment on the forgery at post #47 within a few minutes of the show's completion. There was another FReeper involved but I forget his/her name.
