BUCKHEAD REFUTES MARY MAPES ON RATHERGATE DOCS

How Did Buckhead Know? ^ | Monday, November 21, 2005 | Buckhead

So, considering that no news organization worth a hang would have gone with such an obviously flawed story without having an agenda, and with this woman refusing to admit she's either stupid, unbalanced, biased, or some combination of the three, is there now possible legal recourse against her and/or CBS?

IMO, FReeper known as Grampa Dave delivered the funniest line on that thread:

'Ich bin ein Buckheader'

Hi Buckhead,

Add one more name to your list of admirers. I watched this story unfold in real time. It was one of the most exciting things I remember seeing here.

I'm curious, did you suffer any professional or social consequences after your outing? Thank heavens I have no boss, and I can tell anyone in the world to kiss my ass, but I'm sure it's not that way for most people.

Buckhead was indeed given a much-deserved award at the Annual Banquet for this forum. See Syncro's post above.

And a democrat 501 just happens to start an ad campaign about the same subject at the same time as this CRIME was being committed by cBS?

Indeed. That little fact has gotten forgotten in the past year, so it bears repeating.

"the Favorite Son" campaign...geez, that got canned real quick, huh?

[bitt]

thanks!

CBS and Mapes are not stupid

Ummmm...do you have any facts to back up that assertion?

[TigersEye]

The forger had to be both stupid and insane.

So, you think it was Mapes herself?

What is key to note here for EVERYONE is .... The left becomes Myopic in their views,beliefs and identity. They layer themselves with same thinking people, with like views, beliefs and identity. In doing so they begin to feed the tiny elephant that sits in the center of their table. Soon they are so used to it the second or third generations around them no longer see it. Thus a Blind spot is born.

Folks as nuts as the left drive us, we need to keep hanging around them to make sure we do not fall into our own blind spot.

FR is an awsome resource, we need to keep up the good work without going over the cliff thinking their is a road below us.

No, the concensus at the time was that it was a Texan - Lt. Col Bill Burkett - who was behind the forgeries in one capacity or another.

[Seaplaner]

...Mary Mapes' has written a several hundred page book parading her venomous disregard for those who exposed her lies and her delusional self-image as the Joan of Arc of investigative journalism.

Yo, Mary Mapes! Yeah you.

You and your buddy Dan seem to be following the same game plan to weasel back some of your journalistic respectability.

As I see it, there are two (2) ways to recover some journalistic reputation.

You can choose the Conservative way, and in a dignified manner own up to your transgressions by taking responsibility for foisting the forgeries, or...

You can take the Liberal/Socialist path and try to shroud your little counterfeit memo ring with lies of such transparency that they beg ridicule.

You see, Mary, the concepts of honor, integrity, and personal responsibility are not for everyone. The notion that you would ultimately be more highly regarded if you took complete responsibility is a foreign abstraction that you and your little Times New Roman peddling chums will never, ever understand.

Pity.

The thing I hate about the Buckhead Incident is that, on the night in question my "Well Honed FReep Eye" told me that thread was going to be boring and I didn't click on it.

Damn you, Buckhead!

[TigersEye]

I should know better than to make a joke like that. It will only be a matter of minutes before a FReeper homes in on the inaccuracy and corrects it.

I knew Burkett has been determined as the source. But after seeing Mapes on O'Reilly I thought she fit that description. Stupid and insane.

wink, wink

The short answer is that I am 47 years old and I am not a blithering idiot.

But... but.. but.. you need a degree, you need to be 'qualified', you need to be an 'expert' say our friends on the left.

The best expert is yourself and the best experts are self taught.

[Tunehead54]

Of course I was wrong, Danno did not resign.

Yes, he did. It just took a while. I still cannot believe they stand by the "not proven false" defense. I was a little late to the party (#103?) but I will never forget #47! Or was it #43? ;-)

Buckhead - I salute you. You saved our nation from SKerry and prevented the the stealth of an election. I think there are about 30 million Iraqis who would add their thanks. Kudos to Howlin too - I never want to be on your wrong side! Its late - no school so we'll do a museum tomorrow ... Thank you Lord for President Bush! :-)

One of the memos above was proferred by Mapes et al as vintage 1972 typewritten documentation--

--the other was composed by yours truly on Microsoft Word thirty-two years later following the Buckhead Brouhaha.

May-ree, May-ree, May-ree, Girl, you got some 'splainin' to do.
