This was a watershed moment for the mainstream media in general, and for CBS in particular.

LOL. Remember this?

"It was amazing Thursday to watch the documents story go from FreeRepublic.com, a bastion of right-wing lunacy, to Drudge to the mainstream media in less than 12 hours," said Jim Jordan, a strategist for independent Democratic groups opposed to Bush.

"That's not to say the documents didn't deserve examination. But apparently the entire thing was cooked up by a couple of amateurs on Free Republic. The speed with which it moved was breathtaking."

According to the MSM and Liberal true believers, FReepers are a bunch of redneck, vulgar, no nothing lowlifes, like most of flyover country. So how could FReepers have been that clever, duplicitous, not to mention cunning...to have planted the documents story, etc. way back when? Libs can't have it both ways, and maybe they've figured that out, hence the evil Karl Rove is to blame, well, along with GW, of course.

Those silly Democrats. There ARE NO "amateurs" on Free Republic. The eeeeeeevil Bush-Rove-Scaife Vast Right Wing Conspiracy Fund pays us, we're PROFESSIONALS. And paying us WELL. Just how well? Let's put it this way: I have platinum pajamas. LOL!

Wow. So, according to this communist wannabe, we forged the memos, and we got CBS to produce and air a 60-minutes episode based on forged memos and false accusations?

The commies are hyperventialting, and clearly off their meds. I can't imagine what they'll say should true conservatives ever actually become as powerful as the Democrats were when FDR was in office. Perhaps that would finally shut them up, since it would likely send them into catatonic shock.

Huh? Independent Dem groups?

Independent from what/whom?

What the heck does independent mean?

The TANG documents "cooked-up" on FR? Nonsense.

BUCKHEAD himself recently posted (to criticism by the Columbia Journalism Review): ".....my position is that any fool could see they were fakes, and I couldn't believe that no one else had made the point about the font before I did, and somebody else would have within a few minutes if I had not. Be that as it may, the premise of the CJR is that no one can tell if the memos are fakes. What a freaking maroon!"


I say buckhead and buckhead alone deserves the credit.

He had the perscapacity, sophistication, and computer savviness to see right through the faked memos.

What makes me laugh is that in true Orwellian doublethink fashion they think that Freepers are simultaneously pajama-clad buffoons and vital instruments of a sinister and clever nationwide conspiracy.

How does he explain the apparently coordinated release of the DNC's "Fortunate Son" campaign video?

Nice quote. I never knew I was a member of a 'bastion'. The knowlege makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

For the record, this is the husband of Lara Jakes Jordan, unbiased AP reporter.
