Blogger Who Faulted CBS Documents Is Conservative Activist (L.A Times RATS out Buckhead!)
L.A Times ^
Posted on 09/17/2004 3:55:38 PM PDT by 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.

That's true, when I started reading the post started by Buckhead (hours later) I even noticed the "exactly centered" headings with my naked eye. I have to admit though, that I would have never looked until someone mentioned they were possibly a fraud. As much as I think CBS is biased, at the time I never imagined they would stoop to the level of fraud.

God bless you, Buckhead. Can't imagine what you must be going through right now. We can only imagine what this outing/invasion is going to do to your life and the lives of your family and friends. You know, of course, that WE ARE ALL WITH YOU AND YOURS IN PRAYERS AND SPIRIT.
We are all Buckhead. What happens to him, happens to us all.

DU's linked to this thread and all over it with hatred. All they have is their hatred; of us, of Bush and of anything which doesn't match their perception of how the world should be.

If he was a LIBERAL activist lawyer, would his nickname be SH!THEAD?
To: Drango; Buckhead
Gasp...a conserative you say! And he's an activist. Double gasp!
Not only that . . . hold onto your hats, everyone, get ready, make sure you're sitting down, and look at this: he's a member of the Southeastern Legal Foundation:
From the article:
Founded in 1976, the Southeastern Legal Foundation advocates "limited government, individual economic freedom, and the free enterprise system," according to its website.
They're on to us !!

I think if I were him I'd ask Jim for a new account name and retire Buckhead.
yea probably. But I am sure he is reading this thead at least! Hopefully the messages of support are keeping his spirits up (if they were ever down).

Olbermann showed Buckhead's picture and tied him to Kenneth Starr!
I already posted that on another thread and pinged "our star" (Buckhead).
Side note: Man named Blum on with Olbermann said he's perplexed why Rather has dug in his heels. Went on to say when asked about comparisons to Jayson Blair that "nobody thinks Rather intentionally put documents out he knew to be false". Um, "nobody"? I'm not nobody.

I don't really see where they implicate him as the forger, but I do see where they make rather silly leaps as to assert that it's somehow illogical that a conservative would be the one to scrutinize memo's that are designed to be a smear piece against our President.
What do they think that an independant would take such interest in this topic? Or did they assume that some liberal would unearth it?

Hi, prairie.
Buckhead - I'd get a new screen name. We value your insight here and I'd hate to see you stop posting because people now know your real name.

Regardless of the nutjobs at DU....just think about all the nutjobs in the MSM that will be calling, camping on his doorstep, staking out his home, contacting his firm, doing EVERYTHING they can to make his life a living hell until he speaks.
I dont' envy Mr. MacDougald,, if he is in fact, Buckhead. NOT a good thing, imo. And I'm sorry he will be forced to undergo this level of scrutiny and harassment.
Buckhead, stay strong. And know you have MANY people wishing you well and standing behind you.

It's not easy but Buckhead's identity can be found from his old posts. I just checked.
They did this solely to intimidate a private citizen, and they have to pay for that.

don't know about y'all, but I'm getting worried about Buckhead. He hasn't posted since the 15th. I think he's had to reincarnate himself & come aboard incognito, not only for privacy reasons but being the typical humble figure that just all FREEPERS are...
