I have been following this on DU since the weekend. I believe that this writer is a poster on DU and they have posted the web page of a man that they believe is Buckhead, who lives in Atlanta. It's his professional web page with phone, fax and email address. I feel really sorry for this man, he won't know what hit him. Especially if they identified the wrong person (which is probably, given that these are DUmmies we're talking about).
Then again, harassing some misidentified bystander will make them even more vulnerable to getting their lungs ripped out in a lawsuit than harassing the real Buckhead....

Why don't you cut the crap, Anson? I never saw any "anti-Jew" rhetoric from Corsi. I guess you can accuse anyone of anything without proof now, huh? Sure! All he has to do is type up a few documents -- even if the forgery is detected, the target still has to "answer" whatever trumped-up assertions are contained therein.
Try to keep up....

Someone send this stilted frothing sycophant the link. I want him to stand stark in the nomadic plains of his twisted liberal demagoguery, as his credibility is blasted from the bone like rust from the overpass. His argument is that of the hydrocephalic cur dueling his own tail (and succumbing). His prose puckers all sensibility like literary alum. The lengths of his fallacious leaps in logic stump grizzled civil engineers and bespectacled physicists who would seek to bridge the gap. In Tibet, he would be magnified by the pilgrims and elevated by the Lama for having achieved an unprecedented state of mental perfection through the elimination of all rational thought. Aw, come on, tell us what you really think....

That line really pissed me off. In Anson's world, anyone who posts on FR is a knuckledragger.

And contrary to the idiot author's presumption, the knowledge needed to spot the forgery isn't even "specialized". You just have to be old enough to have used typewriters in the 70's, and then word processors in the 80+'s. The latest explanation offered by the DUmmies -- may Jabootu condemn me to watch endless repeats of Superman IV: The Quest For Peace if I am making this up -- is that the SeeBS documents were transcribed from the original 1971 typewritten copies by a whistleblower who was afraid that copying the original documents directly would expose him to legal liability.

They have a second thread on DU with this article heading it. They are still looking for Buckhead, but have pretty much settled on this Atlanta lawyer. They say that they don't intend to harrass the man, but I don't know what their plan is then.

I wonder if they've considered the legal liability that comes from forging military documents and representing them as real?

You'll be happy to know that Mr. Anson's e-mail is now returning "554 Recipient Rejected: Relay access denied". He's heard enough, apparently...
However, I'd prefer not to be denied my pound of flesh. So, I'll post it here:
Mr. Anson --
You apparently have no idea how easily and quickly one could discern that the Rather documents were neither a.) typewritten, nor b.) dated to 1972 (or earlier).
I learned how to type in high school, during the fifties. I subsequently spent over twenty years in the advertising business. In this capacity, I did a lot of typing myself...and purchased a lot of typeset material.
Without being "expert" in either, it is really not that difficult to tell whether an item has been typed, on any kind of typewriter, or has been typeset by a computer. And 'typesetting' is what Word and other word processing programs do. Aside from being used for simple correspondence and memoranda, they can also produce repro-ready type -- given the proper resolution printer and paper quality.
Anybody, literally *anybody*, Mr. Anson, who had any experience with typewritten and typeset documents -- and was paying attention -- would recognize the difference. I gather that you probably aren't old enough to be familiar with typewriters and, thus, recognize that distinction yourself.
Under the circumstances, I am shocked that Mr. Rather himself didn't grasp the questionable provenance of the documents the moment he saw them. I can only conclude he was blinded by partisanship...or something.
Frankly, I'm surprised that it took us three hours to arrive at that conclusion on Free Republic. But, then, some of us didn't watch the show and had to rely on the pdf postings later. At that, we evidently spent more time examining the documents and arriving at a conclusion than CBS did.
In addition, I hope this note also serves to demonstrate that conservatives (and 'righty bloggers') are actually capable of stringing two or more sentences together.
Talk about condescension...

I am shocked that Mr. Rather himself didn't grasp the questionable provenance of the documents the moment he saw them. I'm sure that The Great and Powerful Rather rose above having to personally put fingertip to keyboard about half a century ago -- thus, his memories of typewriters are dim and his hands-on experience with word processing nonexistent.

The Web site where Buckheads posting appeared also happens to be the repository for anti-Jew, anti-Catholic, anti-homosexual, anti-John Kerry rants by Jerome R. Corsi, Ph.D. And whom, you ask, is Dr. Corsi? Co-author of the best-selling Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry, thats who.
I missed that rant. Was it Zotted?

I'm sure that The Great and Powerful Rather rose above having to personally put fingertip to keyboard about half a century ago -- thus, his memories of typewriters are dim and his hands-on experience with word processing nonexistent. The latter is almost certainly true. Though he would surely have reason to observe intra-office memos and correspondence that would cross his desk daily.
And, according to his biography, the legendary Dan Rather still composes all of his copy his very own self -- on a Smith-Corona manual. Of course, we don't know how "authentic" a source his biography might be...
