Howlin, thanks for laying it all out for us. That shoots a big gaping hole in the theory that Buckhead was a VRWC plant. I urge any doubters to simply monitor the next "live thread" about any subject ... the AM talk shows, football, etc. ... and you will observe the same terrier-like deconstruction of the event and realize that the famous Howlin / Tanker KC / Buckhead thread (and a lot more names as Howlin's post shows us) was not extraordinary. In fact, I'd say Buckhead was pretty late with his shot but he was the first to score a direct hit.

Thank you for assembling all that together, and a huge (hugh) thank you to TankerKC, Buckhead and yourself for your parts in pointing out CBS/Rather's attempt to hijack the election. Yeah yeah yeah, I know if it hadn't been you it would have been another - that's what FR is all about. Still... thanks! :o)
I'm so grateful and proud to be a member here.

Excellent job, Howlin! Thank you for all of that hard work.
BTW, does anybody have pictures of Burnett that were captured off the HardBall program? A friend of mine who works for a major newspaper is looking for them, but they don't seem to be online any more. In fact, there doesn't seem to be ANY pictures of him online except for maybe one of him when he was 17.

BOOKMARKING.. this is an awsome recap. I was out of town with no Internet connection and missed the important stuff.... heard it unfold on talk radio and Fox news.

Thanks for this historical time line and the names of the participants in discovering the CBS hoax. I'm proud of FreeRepublic and all involved. Special thanks to Jim Robinson for providing this site and the heavy lifters... TankerKC, Buckhead, and You. I'm thrilled that I was there when it unfolded. :o)
Note to MSM researchers: Here is the true story of how it was "done" in hours, not the 5 years CBS took to concock the "story."

Thank you.
Booked for historic reference. I truly believe that what has happened with these documents, how and how quickly they were exposed will be taught in journalism classes long into the future. Interestingly enough, CBS seems to be inadvertently assuring the story will not go away soon.
And you are correct it was (is) Free Republic at its best.

Hint to the MSM if you're lurking .. it wasn't just the fonts that tipped Freepers off that they were fake

(Why is the MSM calling the Vietnam Vets and POW's a suspected group??)
To: Howlin; TankerKC; Buckhead
There sure were alot of people on that thread contributing.
Too bad the MSM didn't take the time to research all that happened. Once again, they glossed over everything and everyone except that which they were looking for...to nail Buckhead.
You guys are awesome. Everyone here is awesome. Proud to hang out here with such a group of talented, intelligent people (who also have a sense of humor!)
It's been quite a week...and as I said before, I got nothing done around here!
We're in our pajamas all the time but we never sleep!

Bump! Excellent work and you are right about all of us working together. And, luckily, you, Buckhead, and TankerKC were really "tuned in" and acute that night. If it was another night, it might have slipped passed you guys. But, we are, if nothing else, vigilent.
EAGLES UP!
