Freerepublic was just called "radical" by a guest on MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann. Buckhead was mentioned again. They are also discussing conspiracy theories, blogs, and the usual chatter on Dan Rather's nosedive into silliness.
I think he runs a close second to Al Franken but it's not like he hasn't been trying pretty hard lately.
The Naked Conservative Society would like a statement of correction on the matter from CBS.
As do I.
I don't think it's even close. Franken is appalling in many ways, but Olbermann is just plain dumb.
Olbermann reminds folks of the guy they went to high school with.....the one who drew outer space star fighter pictures on his notebook....
The one who took his grandmother to the prom....
that guy.
I have never felt like I needed to be liberated. My husband of 35 years has taken care of me when I was ill, sometimes for long periods of time. He has made approximately 95% of all the the money our family has earned over the years and best of all he gives it ALL to me to spend in whatever way I see fit. He is a great cook and frequently does the grocery shopping. We both pull our weight when we can; but, when necessary he pulls my weight too without ever complaining. He truly is my night in shining armor and my children and I worship him. I don't EVER want to be liberated from him.
I know some women aren't that lucky. I thank God that I am.
P.S. My husband thinks he is the lucky one.
Travis, Olberman posted "buckhead's" REAL PHOTO and name!!
I took a pic of it with my digital camera, but I don't know how to post a pic on FR.....I can do it with an e-mail, but not on FR....(still in the html sandbox...pre-school)
BIG pic of him wearing glasses,( kinda looks a little like John McEnroe !!) and listed his name under the pic IN BIG LETTERS "Harry W.MacDougal".....REALLY BOLD ON KEITH's PART !!
One has to understand that Olbermann, since he had left SeeBS, has never landed a decent gig.
He had tried ESPN as a sports-hole and it fell flat, zipped around misc local stations, again fell flat, now...he needs to resurrect his moribund so called show and the only thing he can do is piggy back on the "cool-aid drinkers" in the media.
He is/sounds like the "amen" corner of CBSABCCNNPBSNBC and of course PMSNBC his mother ship.
He is a pathetic echo chamber/me-too schmuck who does not even know the meaning of "is".
If anyone in his right mind is paying attention to this clown, he/she need some serious doctor attention!
As for MSNBC, it's the last dying gasps of the liberal media (and their audience of 2)...
Game. Set. Match.
Always worked for me -- spent too much time writing doctrine, then testing it to destruction in the field.
In my case, the Chamorro phonetic equivalent also applies.
Had it not been for FreeRepublic & buckhead & the others that helped him, those memos would have gone on record as truth, CBS sure would not have investigated them, nor would any other news media! CBS & the other liberal media are NOT HAPPY that they have FreeRepublic looking over their shoulders now! They have gotten away with way too much over the years. Times have changed & they DO NOT like it!
As long as we don't misjudge them again. Carter got one term, Clinton got two.
Keep your powder dry and your head up.
Apparently she is a liberal through and through, but she did not directly discuss ideology.
I love it when a liberal calls me an "out of the mainstream, radical extremist." My response: "Let's see, it's true that I am an unapologectic Reaganite. He carried 89 out of 100 states in two elections. How many states did your candidates carry those two elections?"]
Obermann referred to Buckhead, his real name, his work petitioning to disbar X42, and connections to Ken Starr. He said that Buckhead was "not a lawyer with a fetish for fonts. Instead, he is a conservative activist."
Obermann said that about 12 hours after the CBS forgery broadcast, Buckhead had the critique of the font, implying that Buckhead was lying in wait with some sort of corrupt foreknowledge (conspiracy theory alert). O'Brien said that a few hours later it went to Drudge and then onto the mainstream media (MSM).
O'Brien doesn't seem to understand that MSM never parroted FR or the bloggers the way that MSM outlets often parrot each other. Instead, the MSM people consulted their own experts, who confirmed that Buckhead and the other FReepers and bloggers had it right.
O'Brien says that she mounted a defense of the forged documents authenticity because she said "I have some expertise in typography." I must say that she certainly did not appear very bright or knowledgeable about matters. It is unfortunate if she was getting telephone death threats as she claimed following her defense of the forgeries. She also claims to have had to take down her blog because of obscenities people were adding, saying that there is a lot of hostility to people who are anti-Bush. If she was truthful about that (and she appeared credible to me on that point), some people (who think they are on our side) need to cut out their extreme misbehavior.
I have noticed that Dan Rather and most of the talking heads (even on Fox) are saying Burkett was in the Air National Guard rather than the Army National Guard.
Are the Texas Air and Army NG headquarters co-located? If they are not, what was Burkett doing hanging out at the Air NG headquarters when he "saw" the Bush files being tossed? It seems to me that this little point is a rather big deal.
Sounds like they were real desperate to have dug this idiot up. Maybe she stayed at a Holiday Inn Express.
Good point. I stand corrected.
More Kerry campaign footage.
