Blogger Who Faulted CBS Documents Is Conservative Activist (L.A Times RATS out Buckhead!)

L.A Times ^

[Redcoat LI]

WASHINGTON — It was the first public allegation that CBS News used forged memos in its report questioning President Bush's National Guard service — a highly technical explanation posted within hours of airtime citing proportional spacing and font styles.

But it did not come from an expert in typography or typewriter history as some first thought. Instead, it was the work of Harry W. MacDougald, an Atlanta lawyer with strong ties to conservative Republican causes who helped draft the petition urging the Arkansas Supreme Court to disbar President Clinton after the Monica Lewinsky scandal, the Times has found.

FYI

It appears that the DUmmies have 'google-cached' buckhead via his real name and law firm. If the 'cached' information is correct, the DU has a photo of buckhead, telephone number, and address of his law firm.

The the info is under "Latest Breaking News"

Be careful buckhead, and watch yer six!

I once had a job offer to go to work at Area 51....can I be part of the grand conspiracy?

(By the way I really did:)

Two to one WHAT? Send pics of wifes and/or gfs.

Just kidding. *DON'T HIT!!!*

[Trippin]

Of course, if it was up to a liberal activist to expose Dan Rather for the fraud that he is, then hell would have had to freeze over first. What a silly article.

[Agrarian]

I am saddened, deeply saddened... to learn the shocking news that there are conservative activists posting on FR. Next thing you know, we'll learn that some even work on the Bush campaign. What is this world coming to!?!

[Crazieman]

Buckhead. I think its time to put that AWB sunset to good use and stock up the gunrack. The liberals are coming!

[Marak]

But it did not come from an expert in typography or typewriter history as some first thought

Nor did it come from any journalist at the LA Slimes.

WTG Buckhead!

Hang in there, man. No good deed goes without getting grief. You ever get to Philly your beers are on me.

[UnbelievingScumOnTheOtherSide]

Exactly. Never make yourself (qualifications, events, location etc.) part of an argument, pro or con. I never do.

[orangelobster]

Good work on the Clinton disbarment Buckhead.

[OhMike]

Oh,good! If they can see what color pajamas you're wearing, they can see that I'm mooning them.

[Anti-Bubba182]

Thanks for the ping. The thought occurs to me that if the LA Times put that much effort and analysis into the authenticity of the documents and who may have provided them they would get to the bottom of this in no time.

I won't hold my breath.

The LA Times wants more forgerie, false currencying and lies against conservative activists apparently... sheesh.. .havent they learned?

[Tempest]

agreed

[Joe Hadenuf]

The key is the many people who give clues to their identities in their posts.

Yes, they sure do. Hehe.

[SierraWasp]

"HEY LA TIMES! GET A CLUE! THIS IS A DEMOCRAT CONSPIRACY! GO INVESTIGATE THEM!"

I'll second that e-motion!!!

[schouston]

Oh my God...if they found Buckhead...they might find me...my initials are SC and I live in Houston? What am I going to do? The LAT might find out my first name is Scott and my last name is C_______....oh God...I can't help myself...I'm a right wing activist! Since finding you guys...I feel like I have found home. Thanks Dan for introducing me to a whole new group of friends. Somethings I have been able to figure out, but someone please help a newbie...what does "ping" mean? Thanks

LA TIMES GESTAPO AT WORK, intimidation tactics

Until The Times identified him by piecing together information from his postings over the past two years, MacDougald had taken pains to remain in the shadows — saying the credit for challenging CBS should remain with the blogosphere as a whole and not one individual

I don't like this crap one bit. Newspapers piecing together you identity on a privately run anonymous web forum? I have said it before and I am going to say it again. Don't give out any clues to your identity in postings on FR. Not your real name, address, or where you work.

[spodefly]

... please make your post a vanity, open letter to LATimes.

Nah ... too many vanities here already. Besides, it's obvious from the story that the LA Times is reading and backgrounding every post on FR already.

"Be careful about what you post if you're worried about someone finding out who you are>"

Not that anyone would ever care one whit who I am, but I don't care if anyone knows.I am proud to be part of this place and one of these people.
