I’m sort of new to FR. Well, not really. I’m just too doggone busy all the time with work at the hospital and family (married, 3 kids, ages 7, 5, 2) to get online every day.
That’s my excuse for not knowing the history of FR. So could someone please enlighten me. Please don’t forget all the important milestones. What exactly did Buckwheat do? I sort know, but not in great details.
Buckhead.
He was the first to state the memos from 60 minutes Dan Rather story were forgeries.
Others here and at other sites verified the memos were fakes.
My wierdest memories of FR have always been reading posts by a fellow named A+Bert. He must have been kicked off FR 2 dozen times. Jim Robinson, kind soul, would always let him back on after one or two days of suspension. A+Bert would keep his cool for a day or two and then go off on another rant. I think he eventually joined Jimi Hendrix and kissed the sky.
Here’s a good place to start, the Lexicon

But that does bring up a good question, is there a Free Republic History thread?
