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.

Are we playing Six Degrees of Carl Rove?
"He is not a big financial contributor to political causes, having donated $250 to the Georgia Republican Party in 2002, when Christian Coalition founder Ralph Reed was chairman. Reed is now a senior strategist for the Bush campaign."
What does Ralph Reed have to do with anything? Liberals are EVIL!

"Freepers collectively possess more analytical horsepower than the entire news division at CBS," he wrote in an e-mail, using the slang term for users of the freerepublic site.
cool :)
I could be wrong, but I believe that some parts of the Old Media have tried to interview the good general. His answer was "go away, I don't do interviews" or some such. That answer was pure genius, and has served to maintain even further interest in exposing these FRAUDcasters.

Right on Peach.
What is sad is that journalist pride themselves about searching for truth and being "the watch dogs" of democracy.
Yet, when someone finds that they are doing nothing more than colluding with the DNC to bring down and sitting president - they become the KGB.
The fact that they "found" buckhead like that and we still do not know the forgers (or that they are linked to the kerry campaign) is frieghtening.
I just saw Keith Olberman talking about Buckhead. He had the swarmy look on his face, like the cat who swallowed the canary. Talking about the Clinton connection....and Kenneth Starr.
Key loggers, following some links from FR to other sites, also seem possible as means to discovering irl names on the Internet.

They didn't get any info from me.
Even though they tried to spen it as more proof of Buckhead's evil conservative tendencies, the $250 donation to the GOP is really relatively small, especially if he's an established attorney. Oh my, our crack investigators (armed with a website address) have PROOF that he contributes to conservatives!
This story is SO pathetic. It's as if in the LA Times's mind, CBS is somehow at least partially vindicated because a conservative noticed the fraud. As if any liberal ever would have said something...

He could PM another FReeper and have him/her pass a message along to us.
I'm not trying to be demanding or anything, I just worry about fellow FReepers these days; we ARE in the cross-hairs a lot lately.

Well - if you are not in the ximaster group, we will just have to change this code. Might be more of hackers out there. Will advise next code.

Granted, but See BS could have at least made a bona fide effort to get to Staut, tell them what they found, and ask him to refute it, since it was his name that was being drug through the mud as well.
I visited those "people".
Pathetic.
Book marker PING and BUMP.
Not too bad, but Buckhead misses the real situation by a mile. Three or four years go, FReepers were already at that landmark. Now, we possess more than the totality of the Old Media reporters and FRAUDcasters.
They know it, too, and they hate it.
