In retrospect, looking back at the threads with a year plus behind me, I now have noticed that said libs were actually doing drive by posts on the second, longer thread, trying to pretend they "were in the AF in the early 70s" and other malarchy. The posts in question all attempt the throw in doubt and spin. Just like the MD4Bush case! Probably included our buds Novak and Mosk at the WaPo as well as multiple electronic MSMers as well!
In much the same way they did on the initial MD4Bush threads, operatives from the MSM and the left also came in on the Buckhead / Rathergate thread and tried to sow disinfo, spin and doubt. They must have been monitoring as well. I never really noticed it at the time. I linked the two threads somewhere in the low 600s of this thread. Fascinating!
