In the interest of the historical importance of things that happened on this forum last week and, most importantly, to try to provide and document an accurate record of exactly what happened here on the evening of September 8, 2004, and the following morning, I have compiled a listing of ALL of the postings that occurred on Free Republic concerning CBS and Dan Rather 60 Minutes show from 8:00 PM EDT on Thurdsay, September 8, 2004, up until about 9:00 AM EDT on the morning of Friday, September 9, 2004, when the rest of the internet "caught up."
I am posting this thread for two reason.
First, to document the facts as we all know them to be -- and to try to put to rest the dubious claims that have been made concerning exactly how this all came about and exactly who "brought" it about.
Perhaps I am doing this to try to set the record straight, so as no one else will believe we are anything other than who we are: a bunch of really cool people (in Freeperware) from all across this country and from all walks of life with a passion for this country and for the truth who are lucky enough to know a man like Jim Robinson who decided to make this his life's work and give us all a place to rant/vent/question/opine/whine/relish the events that go on about us.
And, secondly, to remind everybody that even though Buckhead, TankerKC, and myself are the names mentioned in the blogs and articles concerning that night, it was, as it always is here on Free Republic, many, many posters; numerous questions were raised BEFORE the famous post #47.

Thanks for posting good, quick read. Forgot about some of the players.
I joined the forum a week after this story broke......Have been here ever since.

Is she no longer with us?
Great, great days.
This time around, they tried to use the Steele Dossiere—a whole collection of fakery—to bring down Trump. Something no one could look at. It was all bogus FISA warrants and the media lapping up and regurgitating whatever the DOJ cabal leaked to them. Mere firing was too good for that bunch.
His own words doomed him: “Fake. But accurate.”
That is a funny DU post. I see that no one over there was in any hurry—at all—to uncover the shenanigans of their friends in the media. They still aren’t, with the quackery exhibited in the Steele Dossiere and the glee that media repeats what the fraudsters tell them.
I too remember that post in real time. I was not watching the broadcast but on FR reading about it. When Buckhead posted his info I was dumbstruck - how could they be so stupid?
And the rest is history.
“Did we ever learn the identity of Buckhead? Does he still post? When was his last post?”

I had a sore loser man t-shirtnwith the arching teardrop.
Wore it to the Tampa airport to board a flight.
The black gal running security, back when a “random second screening” would take place, grabbed me out of line for the. extra search.
We were all lined up after the metal detector and I watched eyes as she scanned down the line, got to me, her eyes dropped to my tshirt, went back up to my face, and she pointed her index finger at me them to the side as she selected me based upon my Sore Loserman tshirt she hated.
You're right... any ideas on why the press deteriorated so quickly?
I was here, remember it well.
Long Live Buckhead, wherever you are...
Was it Buckhead, I seem to recall it was a name kind of like “christian” or something that can be (and was) confused with a females name.
Don’t know if accurate:
“The initial analysis appeared in posts by ‘Buckhead’, a username of Harry W. MacDougald, an Atlanta attorney who had worked for conservative groups such as the Federalist Society and the Southeastern Legal Foundation, and who had helped draft the petition to the Arkansas Supreme Court for the disbarment of President Bill Clinton.[57][58]

That is correct. Buckhead and TackerKC were “outed” by the media.
The media will do research, on occasion.
Real names at the link.
No, there were plenty then and well before Rather. He was just stupid enough to get caught.
