And quickly too. Too bad about Buckhead. That's the part that has me concerned more than the damn memos. It sucks that the times reconstructed him from old postings like that. I sort of agree with other posts I've seen that suggest limiting to 6 mos or so the posts available from users.

Mainstream Media Gets Their Smear On

The inept LA Times effort to smear bloggers—GOP Activist Made Allegations on CBS Memos—has now been picked up and promoted by Editor and Publisher, with a really dumb title: ‘I Am Buckhead’: Newspaper Exposes Blog Folk Hero. “Folk hero?” Please.

His identity, the Times says, “is likely to fuel speculation among Democrats that the efforts to discredit the CBS memos were engineered by Republicans eager to undermine reports that Bush received preferential treatment in the National Guard more than 30 years ago.” GOP officials have denied this.

Note to Editor and Publisher and to the clueless LA Times: there is no “effort” to discredit the memos. The memos have been discredited. Period. Full stop. They are forgeries. No amount of idiotic finger-pointing and lame conspiracy theorizing will erase that simple, damning fact.

I had a telephone conversation with the author of the LA Times hit piece (Peter Wallsten) last week, and he asked me several times if I knew who “Buckhead” was (no), or if I had been in contact with anyone from the RNC (no), or if I knew of any other bloggers who had been in contact with the RNC (no). His agenda was clear even then.

Here’s another interesting fact. I’ve now spoken to at least a dozen newspapers, and had my words quoted many times. In every conversation I’ve made sure to point out that I’ve voted Democratic my whole life, but that I now support President Bush. Not one of these papers thought this was noteworthy enough to print, and with the publication of this LA Times smear job we see why: it doesn’t fit their program.

and british airways thinks the ads about "stupid americans" getting british history wrong actually makes people want to take ba.


and the IBM commercial with the French woman saying her office dumped the old computers on the stupid americans at the NY office will somehow help IBM sell computers. Someone should talk to IBM about french wine sales.


The DNC used a PR firm to fuel the butterfly ballot scandal in 2000.

Wow, you dug up a lot more information on the awol group! If there is a scoop or some leads here it's not clear, but it might just be a dead end. It's a bit odd that they've been humping the story since 2000 and that it is breaking now. There was another thread that mentioned that the awol group had the same memos as cBS but that's a given that they would post them too, but if they had them before 60 mins then that's news.

If there were some way to connect some dots with these guys in California and the jokers in Texas then we might have something worthwhile. Of course it looks like there's a fall guy in place for the memo leaks to 60 mins.

Tomorrow I'll make some calls and ask a few questions about awol and what they've been doing.
