The truth never needs an agenda or a conspiracy.
With all due respect to Buckhead, it would have been a hundred other freepers eventually to spot the obvious: The docs didn't come from a typewriter, geesh, that isn't exactly rocket science...
Journalism majors are not the sharpest crayons in the box.
The slimeball reporters at the LA Times used FR's own search engine to comb through everything he's posted here in the past three years. There were little personal details that leaked out here and there in his posts. The lunatic left-wing fringe enjoys using them as weapons.
LEt's all be careful out there.
Buckhead himself has repeated this very same point time and time again, but the conspiracy-theory addicts at the LA Slimes and DU don't seem to be listening.
They found out using the same techniques of investigative journalism that Dan Rather should have used in vetting the forged documents.
It's not very hard to deduce someone's identity online if you set your mind to it, which is one of the reasons I don't bother to conceal mine, and haven't for the past 20 years.
geesh.
journalists.
vain beasts, thinking they have a lock on such skills as research and incisive writing.
in college, I had to write, on average, two ten page research papers per week. Many others have had the same experience (probably more than journalists can claim)
since the advent of the net, I have grown quite proficient in using search engines to discover the history and development of many types of technologies.
these idiots think Buckhead's response, after a period of FOUR FULL HOURS, was both "quick" and "suspicious"?
what fools these mediots be!
Quick. Get the book deal done before the media goes after Bush's service record (again)!
We need to work on ideas for titles.
How about, "Rather Wouldn't Know His @$$ From a Hole In The Ground"?
Or, "The Media Uses Crayons"?
Ideas???
We're on a site full of conservative republican activists and they just figured this out. And this passes for journalism. Next we'll get the "sky = blue, news at 11" announcement. What shilling morons. Alas, we have some of our own...
Just call em a moron, a scumbag and to go shove it! THK has taken that liberty in using such expressions in response. ;)
Them was the good old days . . . ;-)
Yes ,I heard it on fox, of coarse not one Democrat admits the story about Bush is wrong just the papers.
I am Buckhead (Spartacus).
What!? No TIVO?
My best friend is TIVO.
A *REPUBLICAN*!?! Here on Free Republic!?! How could that ever happen? This is a place for talking about progressive socialist policies I thought
But I thought that stuff was all wrong, they did have typewriters that could do all that according to Dan.
I thought CBS was supposed to be conducting an "internal" investigation. Oh yea, that's postponed ... according to Les Moonves, the co-president of CBS parent company Viacom, who reported to an analyst meeting:
"the review of the CBS "60 Minutes II" report being done by former Attorney General Dick Thornburgh and retired Associated Press chief Louis Boccardi had no timetable for completion. But he said he did not want it to interfere with the Nov. 2 election.
"Obviously, it should be done probably after the election is over so that it doesn't affect what's going on," he told a Goldman Sachs media conference in New York.
A CBS spokeswoman had no immediate comment on the statement. But she pointed out that when CBS News President Andrew Heyward named Boccardi and Thornburgh to conduct the investigation of the Sept. 8 report, he said he hoped it would be completed in weeks rather than months."
Or is it all of the above? Are professionals not allowed as anonymous private citizens to post their observations of FR?
Or do you think Buckhead was an RNC plant whose sole purpose on this site was to discredit the memo's?
Excellent way of framing the questions for 'alydar.' As you probably already know, 'alydar' has not posted since it's #16 on this thread. Oh, and it lives in Boston and it's sister lives in NH.
I'm not ducking anybody my friend. I've been in the hospital fighting for my life with cancer the last couple weeks so my priorities have been elsewhere. I don't think your describing me as an 'it' helps your case much,do you? If and when I'm capable of sitting up long enough to respond to all this I will spell out why I don't think this passes the smell test and we can have at it. You can disagree with my opinion without denigrating me...........PS 'It's sister' in N.H.is not my sister.I don't know what the hell you're talking about.
