Before Dan Rather signed off March 9 after 24 years as a news anchor for CBS, conservative "netizens" already were cheering the man they believe led to the tidal wave of criticism that forced Rather to leave his post a year early: Atlanta attorney Harry W. MacDougald.
MacDougald, 46, who has been with Atlanta's Womble Carlyle Sandridge & Rice PLLC since 2002, was the blogger "Buckhead" who first started a cascade of criticism about a report Rather aired Sept. 8 on CBS's "60 Minutes II" about President George W. Bush's Air National Guard service.

I'd be interested in knowing that too. Ping me if you find out.
Thanks for the ping!

Bush's Air National Guard service.Why do they insist on calling FR a "blog" site? We're a Conservative News discussion website. Don't they know the difference? Or is FR technically a weblog?
I'm glad to see FR getting so much mention in the press though, anyway.
If I recall correctly, it was the LA Times which dug through all Buckhead's old posts, gathered personal clues from them and 'outed' him.
I would like to know if Buckhead revealed his own identity and, if not, who revealed it.An anonymous source in the Bush White House, I bet! :^D

Rove strikes again. 8^)

???...they still don't know the difference.
Also from MSNBC: "They got that intra-net thing on computers now too!"

Score more fame for Free Republic, this should bring in some more rat trolls for us to ZOT!!
You recall correctly. It was the LA Times.

Interesting, isn't it, how the L.A. Times has all the time in the world to "Out" Freeper 'buckhead'...
...but no time at all to label the RATHERGATE Memos he exposed here on Freerepublic.com as the illegal CBS fraud upon the American People and their Commander-in-Cheif in Time of War
...that they really were..?
Still..?

Truly Awesome. I will save your post. A personal answer from a great celebrity.
THANKS.
Man, my 15 minutes are officially up.
It would be more correct to say that I was the first person not hired by CBS who said they were fakes. Mapes knew, because she was told they were no good by the experts she hired before she went to air, but she went to air anyway. She said she could get an expert to say anything she needed them to say.
RE: your # 27:
'Zactly.
Probably can't distinguish between a typewriter font and a Microsoft font, either.
The article explains why you were able to pick up on the fonts. Thanks to FR you were able to get the word out. Good Job...
