Kudos again to FR, Buckhead, Howlin, Texasforever, NYCVirago, and of course Jim for having this site to begin with.
"Chapter 9 "We're Toast" pg 143 - 145 directly credits Freepers above with uncovering the "missing Documents" out of President Bush's National Guard Service that were distinctly unflattering to the President, and also flat forgeries.
I am reading the book at the moment, and I wanted to pause and give credit where credit is due. I thank all those who helped bring to light these roaches that considered themselves so important as to try to influence a Presidential Election. I thank all of you personally who were influential in finally getting to call the MSM on the carpet, SUCCESSFULY! Bill Sammon has immortalized you in print, you are all immortal in my heart, you were the tipping point in an election. I am eternally grateful! You have done this Nation a service that can not be quantified.

I was watching that night as well Howlin, it just gives me the Chills, I read that thread as it was being written, just sitting and wondering what was going to come of it, it was just so apparent that there was a dead fish in the back seat... You called it and I personally am in your debt! This Nation is. Who knows what would have happened if you had not, perhaps Rather and Mapes would have gotten away with it, and perhaps Kerry would have won the election... The Horror of that thought... The Horror of the following thought, "it was just that close", is enough to make me sick to my stomach even this morning!
I am so GLAD that Sammon included you in his book, and the others who were mentioned. I am eternally grateful that some of the MSM got back in real terms some of the BS they have been shoveling us for years. I would love to ask Rather, "So, in light of your nefarious "Journalism", lack of ethics, and complete loss of Journalistic standards, do you think that you were properly and appropriately punished for publishing Forgeries on "60 Minutes", and a follow up, do you believe you owe President Bush a personal Apology for what amounted to a sleazy lo-ball attack on his character during a Presidential Election?" But I am not holding my breath! lol
I thank you again for being so on the ball. You ROCK!

The point is, we have to have facts on our side.
For every buckhead post, there are 99 posts that are speculation that doesnt pan out, or is just plain wrong.
The MSM uses that 'noise' to discredit the good work that is done.
Right now, it is bloggers (and a few independent journies like Steven Hayes) that are driving the Saddam documents story ... a story the MSM is mainly ignoring.

I agree with the post but it's not right to, in the same breath, give accolades to the Swift Boat Vets.
