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.

I noticed it was a Word document first but I'm just a Buckhead.

Why didn't somebody tell me?

Because it was a secret.
At least it USED to be!

"Buckhead. I think its time to put that AWB sunset to good use and stock up the gunrack....

Heck, ANYTIME is a good time to stock up the gunrack. ((big grin))

[MamaLucci]

The Times identified him by piecing together information from his postings over the past two years,

Poor Buckhead.......he's been probed by the LA Times.

"They haven't the slightest clue what they have just done. They think the last week has been Hell? Watch what happens when they experience the wrath of the American public as they attempt to destroy a citizen for being brave enough to "out" the forgeries."

They simply have NO idea of the power of the Internet. And that is a good thing, because the element of surprise wins many battles. Interestingly, ABC and a couple other MSM outlets see the blood and are either going for it or backing away.

OUR TIME HAS COME.

Forget how they found out Buckhead's identity. What I want to know is, How did they know I wear my Pajamas while I'm on the internet?!?

BTW, Buckhead, I didn't know lawyers wore PJs. I thought they would need heavy duty diapers to hold the BS. Juuuuust kidding :o)

Naughty Buckhead.

How dare you speak truth to power.

No more than TWO cases of your favorite brew for you if you ever get to Tokyo, and that's final!!

[txhurl]

Now that's a very good point.

[Joe Hadenuf]

I was agreeing with you

Oh, well in that case I can stop the in depth profile/background investigation I started conducting on you...

((sarcasm))

"could most likely still be found"

That's going too far. People should be careful though, it's easier than they think.

Odd that the LATimes said they found him by looking at posts from "the last two years" specifically.

I don't think they did. I found it by looking at much older posts.

[Jasper]

"Those folks should think before they post".

Therein lies their problem. REACTIONARIES DON'T THINK!! They are the useful idiots Karl Marx refers to. They are tools.

You can bet they are reading this thread. That's OK though, I (along with other Freepers) are reading their threads also.

Like I always say, if your not on someone's list, you should be ashamed.

[samantha]

Do we have a freeper Hall of Fame? If we do not, we should have one and Buckhead should hold a place of honor. The very concept of the website outlined on the home page by Jim Rob should have (had he bothered to read it) bought this doofus reporter a clue. God what do they put in that water out there?

[mrsmith]

"In point of fact the LAT people turned themselves into pajama people by sitting in their living room and hanging out on FR and reading all of buckeye's posts - you gotta laugh at it - they have become us. "

That is beautiful.

[Joe Hadenuf]

I don't think they did.

I wouldn't know.

[Uncle Vlad]

C'mon Dan! Keep lying! Keep stonewalling! Keep it up, right up until the time of the November election when your boy Kerry loses in a humiliating defeat and your news ratings are on par with MSNBC. Then you can retire and write that tell-all book with Baghdad Bob.

[Redcoat LI]

Poor Buckhead.......he's been probed by the LA Times.

Could be worse, he could have been probed by the San Francicso Examiner.

[samantha]

If it had been a rat that outed RatherBiased he would have been called every name in the book just like what they do to Zell Miller. The chances are no rat would want to come forward and then forever be ostracized by the dirty dem rats.

[MissAmericanPie]

Series question. When is Free Republic going to offer Eagles Up pajamas for sale? I'll take two pair.

Buckhead deserves an embossed eagle on his pj pocket for bagging a major news network.
