This is not a sarcastic question....BUT....I know who Turnipseed is, I know who George Bush is but who are YOU? Your homepage shows a fairly current registration. They are many Freepers here whose word I would take but am always a little wary of such postings. Do you know Turnipseed personally and just called him for a response? Did he authorize this? Is the media not hounding him to give a response???? Just checking my sources!....

Since you checked my home page you could have checked my recent posts and seen how this came about. I was coming at this from an entirely different side. I got into contact first with Tom Turnipseed, who is an uber Bush basher. He told me Turnipseed was a solid Bush man (much to his disgust).

That started me thinking that something didn't quite sound right, so I called him up. If you want to verify further, you can do your own leg work. It isn't that difficult. I don't want to post Turnipseed's phone number or email address. But you could find them if you wanted to.

And yes, Turnipseed would like his side to get out. He gave me his consent to spread the word and to contact news agencies, such as Fox--which I have done.

Good questions...I was wondering the same.

In Hon's defense, we were discussing on a thread last night whether William Turnipseed was related to left-wing wacko Tom Turnipseed. Both of us noticed the same thing, as Turnipseed is an unusual surname, and Tom Turnipseed was born in Alabama, where William Turnipseed was in the Guard. Anyhow, I suggested: "How can we find this out (if the two are related)? Freepers, any ideas?", and Hon took the ball and ran with it in starting a new thread asking for freeper input on it, and then making these phone calls.
