AN ALERT Georgia blogger nicknamed “Buckhead,” along with other Internet truth seekers who followed his lead, struck a telling blow at smug, unobjective anchor Dan Rather and his CBS TV “60 Minutes II” by quickly analyzing and questioning the proportionally spaced fonts used in the so-called National Guard records of George W. Bush.
“Buckhead” — a brilliant Atlanta attorney who spends many a wee hour on his computer surfing the “blogosphere” — first challenged CBS in a posting on the FreeRepublic.com Web site.
“I am saying these documents are forgeries, run through a copier for 15 generations to make them look old,” he wrote barely four hours after Rather’s Sept. 8 show unveiled its “scoop.” Within minutes, truth-seekers were using their Internet superhighway to further analyze the typefaces — not known to have been used in 1972 typewriters — to reinforce my friend’s suspicions and to tweak aggressive news outlets into doing some investigative reporting.
A few days later, as establishment media experts were finally weighing in against a defiant Rather (who apologized 10 days later), one exultant FreeRepublic.com groupie declared in a succinct posting: “Buckhead for the U.S. Supreme Court!”

maybe this time it will work.
Whiskey for Buckhead and Beer for his Horses!
I think that may be a might controversial, but I get your point.
Conservative Republicans are such smart people. Truth in the end always wins...the scripture teaches us that!! Also we're taught through the scripture 'what you sow you shall reap!! So Rather your now reaping what you've sown!!! ;o)
Jim Robinson made it all possible, do not forget, to offer this format where we can make a diffence.
...yes, controversial in that we are called "terrorists" and "jihad" in the press. I think buckhead might be offended with that graphic.
