LAT et al. are making the detection of this fraud into rocket science, to explain why CBS might pretend the docs were valid for longer than 20 seconds.

Abstruse, hard-to-fathom concepts like "tight letter-spacing" and "superscript digraphs" are outside the daily experience of most people. That's why CBS, your faithful impartial news servant, will be breaking the story soon -- any day now -- of how these fraudulent, uh typewritten documents are NOT real after all.

YEAH, Buckhead!!!

Great Job with Clinton -- and -- with the memos.

You notice they don't emphasis the fact that the memos have been confirmed as fake by just oooooodles of experts.

I guess being right is a fault if one is a conservative activists -- YET -- being wrong is no problem if one is a liberal one!

Funny how life is viewed by the MSM.

But it did not come from an expert in typography or typewriter history as some first thought

More cBS. These days there is so much paper pushing involved in law practice that lawyers get real familiar with Word and Times New Roman.

Also, anyone in the military in the 1970's could tell right away there were goofy things in those memos.

When you lie or forge documents, then your political opinions are relevant.

When you prove that someone else has lied and forged documents, then your political opinions are irrelevant.

The Emperor has no clothes. Is that too much to understand? Do we need to be certified leftists to point it out?

How did they get Buckhead's name?

"Until The Times identified him by piecing together information from his postings over the past two years, MacDougald had taken pains to remain in the shadows — saying the credit for challenging CBS should remain with the blogosphere as a whole and not one individual"

Buckhead, I suggest you use Call Forwarding to redirect all your incoming harassing phone calls from liberals to the L.A. Times newsroom.

I don't like this crap one bit. Newspapers piecing together you identity on a privately run anonymous web forum? I have said it before and I am going to say it again. Don't give out any clues to your identity in postings on FR. Not your real name, address, or where you work.

Reached by telephone today, MacDougald, 46, confirmed that he is Buckhead, but declined to answer questions about his political background or how he knew so much about the CBS documents so fast.

You can ask the questions but I'm not going to answer them," he told The Times. "I'm just going to stick to doing no interviews."


This is about the stupidest answer he could have given. Any FReeper should know how the liberal media operates.
Now they're going to imply he's hiding something.

He should have just said "I have used both a typewriter and Microsoft Word, and I can tell the difference between the two. I'm quite suprised that so many journalists who have used both regularly in their daily work apparently could not."

From the article: "Freepers collectively possess more analytical horsepower than the entire news division at CBS," he wrote in an e-mail, using the slang term for users of the freerepublic site

Looks like Buckhead is right on target!

They're just pissed off that a lawyer (with brains for a change, not like Klintoon lawyers) is out there somewhere, keeping tabs on the 'Rats.

Go Buckhead! You are the man.

I would also like to know how they got Buckhead's name? Did he have a website on FR,or one he linked to? Maybe they just went back, read posts & made "educated" guesses.

Are WE sure they are correct?

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.

All this means is that conservative Republicans are as apt at spotting frauds and forgeries pushed by Democrats as Democrats are inept at distinguishing fiction from what they avidly want to be true.
