the freight train to reality doesn't stop at their offices.
LOL Rush was so funny. The other day he started singing "they're coming to take me away he he ha ha ho ho." Gosh I love that man! :)

[SuziQ]

Suspicions that MacDougald may have been tipped off have arisen because his quick comments on typography seemed to go far beyond his reputed expertise.

I guess they expected him to be some dumb-ass Southern lawyer who can't possibly know anything outside his legal realm.

The MSM just continues to insult us everyday, and I think their comeuppance will be SOON!

insuredly = assuredly

[Texasforever]

I am glad to hear it.

[Restorer]

I've seen the thread in question. Buckhead, not to take anything away from his glory, was not the first to question the authenticity of the memos. He was just the first to bring up the proportional spacing issue. Others had already brought up some of the issues involving formatting, abbreviations in use at time, etc.

[MissAmericanPie]

So because Buckhead is a lawyer that precludes him from any other knowledge outside his "expertise"? Listen up elite media, it's just this type of spin that has your ratings in the toilette now.

Given their mindset I suppose I'll have to erase from my memory the names of several Monet masterpieces since this knowledge does not fall within my expertise.

"His identity, the Times says, 'is likely to fuel speculation among Democrats that the efforts to discredit the CBS memos were engineered by Republicans..."

...rather than the Clintons...

"...eager to undermine reports that Bush received preferential treatment in the National Guard more than 30 years ago'"

...which he probably did, although nobody cares.

"GOP officials have denied this."

Why would they bother to deny it?

What a pathetic attempt to make something out of nothing...!

[Savage Beast]

These pathetic Democrat hacks can neither understand nor believe that Buckhead is as intelligent as he is. Burying these people in the trashdump of history is going to be easier than we thought.

[redrock]

"...I am just a Texas redneck."

Yep...but a SMART Texas redneck.

(grin)

LOL!! Buckhead's Excellent Adventure!!

[Texasforever]

Yep...but a SMART Texas redneck.

LOL Thanks

[KC_Conspirator]

Thats right it does not make him a conspirator. If there is a conspirator around here, its me.

SeeBS has already admitted they were duped. Not one thing these people have said makes the forged memos "real".

[IDontLikeToPayTaxes]

yeah, it never occured to these liberal morons that people quite a bit younger than "Buckhead" have ever used a typewriter. I've used one, plenty of times. And I know damn well that when you hit a key, the typewriter moves to the right an equal space every time, and when you hit the Space bar, it goes in an equal space over every time, too. Sheesh. folks, there WAS a period of time in American history before MS Word!

Heck, I could have "broken this story"

One look, no one GLANCE, at these CBS memos from anybody that has typed a military memo in MS Word would raise questions.

Have a nice day :)

[Fiddlstix]

His identity, the Times says, "is likely to fuel speculation among Democrats that the efforts to discredit the CBS memos were engineered by Republicans eager to undermine reports that Bush received preferential treatment in the National Guard more than 30 years ago." GOP officials have denied this.

LOL! OMG! Spin, spin,.....&.....spin.

See the MSM Spin

[Ursus arctos horribilis]

I would think the WSJ, WT & such would welcome Buckhead to write a OP-ED piece or two.

He could explain it is indeed a shame when a working lawyer with a day job has to do the work of so called MSM journalists who lack the intellectual capacity to expose readily apparent forgery and fraud in a blatant attempt to rig a presidential election.

Or, it could also be the liberal MSM has a vested interest in the truth not being made known.

[Allosaurs_r_us]

Are we fishin? Enough is enoug! Thes eguys have been hangin out to long with Mikey! They see a conspiracy behind every door and in every post. It's getin rediculous! I read somethin today that called into question all the polls since now-a-days we have internet phones like Vonage and they can't be called. How many of these phones do ya think there are? Geez they're graspin at straws don't ya know!

[EternalVigilance]

The paper reports that it has solved the mystery of who exactly posted the very first (and in some minds, very suspicious) blog blast at the credibility of the "60 Minutes" Killian memos.

We FReepers are living proof that even paranoids have enemies...

[fire_eye]

Hey, all those years of staring bleary-eyed at legal briefs with no end in sight have paid off - he got so ingrained with type font characteristics that he was able to bust Dan Blitherblather, something that most of us would trade half our fortune to be able to do.

The fact that he's a <<<< GASP!!!!! >>>> Republican activist, makes it even better - now the idiot Demonrats are off scurrying around looking under beds and rocks and their own butts for a conspiracy that doesn't exist. If he'd turned out, after a daring and intrepid L.A. Slimes infestigation, to have just been a regular old redneck thug like (JUST for instance) *ME*, it wouldn't have had nearly the effect of inciting Demonrats to make themselves look even stupider than usual chasing conspiracies.

(Not to mention all of the net.documentexperts who are now off drinking themselves stupid at the big chance they missed and at the fact they got upstaged by a <<< shudder... >>> <<< GASP!!! >>> **** LAWYER ****...)

(Go to bed, fire_eye... you're drooling on your keyboard again...)

[stands2reason]

My two cents for what it's worth: Buckhead and his operatives used FR and it's readers as pawns. I sent him a private mailing last week congratulating him. I wish I could take it back.

I'm pinging Buckhead and his "operatives" to respond to your ravings, also the owner of this site so he can know he's being "used."

Are you completely brain-dead, newbie? Do you even know what the hell you are talking about? Only the most insane of the Democrats believe that this is some Rovian plot.

[backhoe]

If you use a search engine to look for "Peter Wallsten -- Los Angeles Times" you will find all sorts of info and articles on the character who outed Buckhead.
