Blogger Who Faulted CBS Documents Is Conservative Activist (L.A Times RATS out Buckhead!)
L.A Times ^

Posted on 09/17/2004 3:55:38 PM PDT by Redcoat LI

WASHINGTON — It was the first public allegation that CBS News used forged memos in its report questioning President Bush's National Guard service — a highly technical explanation posted within hours of airtime citing proportional spacing and font styles.

But it did not come from an expert in typography or typewriter history as some first thought. Instead, it was the work of Harry W. MacDougald, an Atlanta lawyer with strong ties to conservative Republican causes who helped draft the petition urging the Arkansas Supreme Court to disbar President Clinton after the Monica Lewinsky scandal, the Times has found.

They're on to us. Looks like we'll all have to go to our nearest Kinko's and exchange top secret memos.

Wow. Things have come full circle. From the lawsuit by the LA Times against FR to now the LA Times researching and QUOTING from FR liberally.

If they took entire posts from Buckhead and reprinted them, would that constitute the narrow definition of "fair use" asserted by their counsel?

Say it isn't so!!!!

A conservative on Free Republic, and an "activist" to boot???

Please come back Dan Rather. All is forgiven. I've been posting on Free Republic all this time and now I learn there's a stinking conservative activist in our midts.

LORD HAVE MERCY!!!

...And if the memo was a plant by conservatives, why is CBS hiding the source?

a conservative lawyer? An Oxymoron!

No, it's not. A minority, certainly. But it's not overwhelming. At my company which has probably 200 lawyers, I know of one liberal.

"Buckhead is an Republican Activist?"

DARN! I would have sworn he was a DU troll. I guess we'll just have to live with the fact that Buckhead is a well educated professional.

If they used as much effort to investigate who typed those Word documents as they did to investigate Buckhead maybe the MSM might still be shown an ounce of respect.

More naked authoritarianism from the LLL. For the LAT readership, facts and logic don't matter at all, Buckhead's background and credentials, his authority alone, will decide the issue.

o the L.A Times forces us to excerpt, yet they feel free to raid our archives?

Excellent point. Perhaps a lawsuit is in order!
