Found another. I think you're famous or is that infamous?

[FormerACLUmember]

Yes Buckhead is obviously part of Karl Rove secret service, planting forged documents to make CBS and the democrats look bad.

[Andy from Beaverton]

There's quite a few articles here slamming us bloggers for people to post : http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ned=us&ie=UTF-8&ncl=http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2002039080_buckhead18.html&start=30&sa=N

I'm just shocked! Buckhead is a Republican?

I don't want the media to know this but I think Bush is the best man in the race for president and I'm going to vote for him. I need everyone to keep this a secret because the MSM might unmask me as a (GASP) Republican.

[Hildy]

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.

This doesn't even make sense. Eager to undermine reports? THE REPORTS ARE NOT TRUE. YOU CANNOT UNDERMINE SOMETHING THAT IS NOT TRUE. What is so hard to understand about that.

[nutmeg]

Have you seen this?

[Choose Ye This Day]

Of course he's smart and observant. He's a FReeper. That doesn't make him a conspirator.

The Left just doesn't want to get it. THEY'RE the ones cooking up phony documents. THEY'RE the ones with the conspiracy. THEY'RE the ones who resort to lies, deception, forgery and media manipulation because they're bereft of ideas.

And somehow WE are to blame when we catch them being stupid and sloppy?

[Texas Eagle]

Suspicions that MacDougald may have been tipped off have arisen ...

Tipped off??? About what? Is this tantamount to an admission that the documents were forgeries?

If so, how much effort has this paper put into exposing the identity of Buckhead as compared to the identity of the creator of the forged documents?

[coloradan]

His identity, the Times says, "is likely to fuel speculation among Democrats that the efforts to discredit the CBS memos were engineered by Republicans..."

No bias here, nope! The efforts to discredit weren't based on the fact that the memos were obvious forgeries, but rather, simply because Buckhead works in cahoots with eeeeeevil Republican operatives.

Never mind the nature of the charges, dear LA Slimes reader, nor the weight of the evidence supporting those charges ... instead, simply worry your little liberal heads about the identity and affiliations of the exposer. Yes - shoot the messenger, and ignore or downplay the message.

[Defiant]

Yup, Karl Rove picked up the phone, and said, "Get me Buckhead on the line."

"McDougald, is that you? Great job on the disbarment brief. Listen, we have another job for you to do for us. See, we slipped a forged copy of an authentic memo by George's commanding officer to the DNC, and they gave it to CBS. Now, we need you to expose it. So, go back in time to 1998, join FreeRepublic, and post there until this day comes around again, so you can build up a history there. Then, right after the 60 minutes show is over, make sure to point out that the memos are forged, they are typed on a word processor that didn't exist in 1972."

"What's that Buckhead? No, you can't go back in time to 1972 and take the physical for the President, but I like your thinking. Now, get out there and do your job!"

[ArmyBratproud]

Rather interviewed Burkett this weekend.

Just watch...They will attempt to say this is where they got the documents..or that this is proof that Rove is behind it.

Never mind that CBS aired the Secretary of Killian that said the documents are forgeries.

Never mind that Staudt had retired a year earlier..

Never mind that CBS's own experts warned them that the documents were frauds...

CBS does not let the truth get in the way af their Stalinist propoganda.

[Texas Eagle]

His identity, the Times says, "is likely to fuel speculation among Democrats that the efforts to discredit the CBS memos were engineered by Republicans....

Ohhh-kayyy. Just for the sake of argument let's say this was a diabolical plot engineered by Republicans. That begs the question: Why is Dan Rather protecting the identity of this wascawwy Wepubwican?

[alydar]

My two cents for what it's worth: Buckhead and his operatives used FR and it's readers as pawns. I sent him a private mailing last week congratulating him. I wish I could take it back.

[conservativecorner]

The spin from the left continues unabated.

[Enterprise]

Buckhead has not been "exposed." All that has happened is that the media slime has uncovered his identity. That being said, he has done work that media slime are too lazy and I must happily add, incompetent to do. The only thing being "exposed" is the usual media pack mentality that seeks to attack someone who has done a good job, and coincidentally happens to be Republican. So y'all MSM whores can shove it.

[ladyinred]

It continues to amaze me that the left just manages to turn every dirty trick they get caught in into a vast right wing conspiracy! Do they care who forged the docs? Do they give a rats you know what about the obvious attempt at campaign fraud going on here? No, they just wanna expose a freeper as being a republican who actually has the nerve to be active in his political party!!! How dare Buckhead recognize a fraud when he sees one!

[Mr. Mojo]

His identity, the Times says, "is likely to fuel speculation among Democrats that the efforts to discredit the CBS memos were engineered by Republicans"

Who gives a Rat's ass who the memos were discredited by? The fact that they were indeed discredited is what's meaningful here.

Try as they may, the Dems will never be able to divert the main focus of this story.

[Billthedrill]

He isn't the only one. I've been reading the posters on FR for some time now, and there's this one who posts under the name of "Jim Robinson" who I've long suspected of being a conservative activist, perhaps even a Republican sympathizer. You have to watch these people carefully. Before you know it they end up subverting the whole political scheme, exposing fraudulent reporters, digging up dirt on the comfortable, upsetting the influential, disturbing our opinion leaders and undercutting the Old Media.

I hope I'm not shocking anyone.

Suspicions that MacDougald may have been tipped off

Pssst, Buckhead, here's the big tip off see... the letter should not have been processed on a computer......

[woofie]

It looks like Buckhead did not recieve this memo:

No Gop lawyers will be allowed to question the authenicity of any documents,(forged or not) which are part of CBS 60 Minutes programing.
