"I Am Buckhead": Newspaper Exposes Blog Folk Hero

He isn't the only one. I've been reading the posters on FR for some time now, and there's this one who posts under the name of "Jim Robinson" who I've long suspected of being a conservative activist, perhaps even a Republican sympathizer. You have to watch these people carefully. Before you know it they end up subverting the whole political scheme, exposing fraudulent reporters, digging up dirt on the comfortable, upsetting the influential, disturbing our opinion leaders and undercutting the Old Media.

I hope I'm not shocking anyone.

Suspicions that MacDougald may have been tipped off

Pssst, Buckhead, here's the big tip off see... the letter should not have been processed on a computer......

[woofie]

It looks like Buckhead did not recieve this memo:

dated
August 28/04

No Gop lawyers will be allowed to question the authenicity of any documents,(forged or not) which are part of CBS 60 Minutes programing.

signed

Hell I said the documents were fake before Buckhead did and I am just a Texas redneck.

[Lijahsbubbe]

I'm still in shock (quite stuned, really) that conservatives would try to "undermine" a phoney, slanderous news story about President Bush.

Undermining a fake letter. That's a serious charge...

[Lijahsbubbe]

Why is Dan Rather protecting the identity of this wascawwy Wepubwican

Hmmm. And just why would CBS tell a couple of their sources not to give interviews?

[snarkytart]

LOL

Well you know I am shocked that a bunch of Republicans are here!!!

This site has misrepresented itself to me~~SHAME!!!
/sarcasm

I guess I am just naive, but it seems to me that even if Buckhead did not know anything about typewriters, he would have a legal assistant who does. Most typists, worth anything would be able to tell when something was typed by a computer or a typewriter, especially one from the 70's. I say this because I am a transcriptionist and, given enough time, could tell the difference. I am not saying that I am as smart as Buckhead or that I would have noticed the forgeries, but I think that the MSM is trying to make Buckhead seem very ignorant. This man is a well educated legal professional. He should be admired for his quick thinking and sharp eye.

[Libertina]

Perhaps Buckhead, like other FReepers, is just a knowlegable, educated US citizen.

[Texasforever]

When I saw that "CYA" memo with NO distribution list I knew right then it was BS. That is exactly what Killian's son picked up on. That memo would have killed his career.

[Fledermaus]

Yes, I can attest to the fact Texasforever is a Texas Redneck! ;-)

[Texas Eagle]

Buckhead, as he was known at the Free Republic site...

WAS KNOWN???Has something happened to Mr. McDougald? Or does the author of this article know something about what fate awaits Mr. McDougald???

[Texasforever]

And proud OF IT!. How ya doing buddy? I haven't seen you for a long time.

[VRWCer]

Undermining a fake letter. That's a serious charge...

Well, its only a serious charge if the undermining was done by a (Republican, shhhhh). If a DimplecRAT, on the other hand, had been the one to undermine a fake letter, forged by a DNC certifiable nut-job, given by a DNC operative to a DNC shill posing as a news professional, well, in that case there might be some validity to the accusation that the forgeries were forged. See? B.S.!!!

[Texas Eagle]

MacDougald, a lawyer in Atlanta, is affiliated with two prominent conservative legal groups, the Federalist Society and the Southeastern Legal Foundation, where he serves on the legal advisory board.

Sayyyyyy. These names sound familiar. Are these the same guys who conspired against Bill Clinton by getting Monica Lewinsky hired at Pizza Planet and then inscribed subliminal messages on the mirror above the sink in the Oval Office bathroom that read, "Piiiiizzaaa. You waaaaant piiiiizzzaaa!"?

[VRWCer]

Perhaps Buckhead, like other FReepers, is just a knowlegable, educated US citizen.

What the old media believes, is that Republicans are too stupid to be able to figure out when a Dim is peeing on our legs and telling us its raining. (Except for Karl Rove, who is the Boogieman and Dr. Evil, all rolled into one tidy package.) Therefor, it is inconceivable that a single one of us would fail to be duped by even their most transparent falsehoods. IOW, the freight train to reality doesn't stop at their offices.

[Mo1]

The paper reports that it has solved the mystery of who exactly posted the very first

Well that's nice .. but when are these reporters going to look into who FORGED THE DANG DOCUMENTS??????

HELLO ..

[Iam1ru1-2]

If a Republican was the author of the forged memo, why in the world would dan rather defend him? He would most insuredly expose him as an operative of the Bush Campaign, using it to the advantage of the demonicrat parody.

This is an attempt to take away the damage that rather, and his ilk brought on themselves. This too is a "fake" memo.

[Fledermaus]

Doing too well! I don't get around here as much as I used to. Busy more since I went back to work.

Got to see "the man" recently at the Nashville airport. I got invited and we got to shake hands at the airport as Bush was leaving his speech to the American Legion (or was it VFW?) at the Opryland Hotel.

He is really on top of his game...he looked very spry and very confident in his job.

[Savage Beast]

If these Democrats (including the lunatics at the LATimes) were not delusional, they might be able to get to the truth and find out who's really behind it all, but truth for its own sake is beyond their comprehension, and if they were not delusional they wouldn't be Democrats in the first place.
