Freeper Buckhead who "exposed" forgery turns out he's GOP lawyer who

[Pallas180]

worked for Ken Starr and McCain. Talking about the documents Dan Rather has.

Isn't that a coincidence. <sarcasm off>

[drkedjr]

1. So Rove

master~minded this whole thing...... hmmmm

[vetwife]

2. Still believe he did....or Barr

[Tsiyu]

3. But Rush never told me this!

And I didn't hear it from O'Liely or Hannity or Savage. You hate America. Why don't you admit it? Ken Starr is a hero! Any friend of his is, well...time to turn off the sarcasm before I puke.

[vetwife]

4. You know..we were pretty darn close ...real close

When we outed the west georgia college connection and Barr's what was once his 7th district. The Evans link and the Newt at University of West Ga. We were close. Another day or two it would have been nailed. No doubt ! I am still pretty sure there were others and I still think Evans was part of the marchhing or rather typing orders......So Rovian !

5. The point is the neanderthal apes on that site are being led & manipulated

by highly intelligent gop operatives pretending to be apes.

moles....

think about it.

and I've noticed some of that over here. We definitely have one DLC operative that I'm very aware of.

On Edit - I spit on the DLC - gop lite...appeasers

[vetwife]

6. Right..check this out !

Fed-Soc.org - Atlanta Lawyers Chapter
The Atlanta Lawyers Division of the Federalist Society for Law & Public Policy Studies actively is engaged in stimulating debate regarding policy and legal issues. ... Baker. Harry MacDougald. Joe D ... Attorney General under President George H.W. Bush, as well

[Pallas180]

8. Oh yeah, I forgot, it also said he was a member of Federalists -

I have one eye on tv while I internet...so I think it was Olbermann
but not sure..

[AntiCoup2K4]

22. One DLC op?? Hell, there's at least a half dozen who are blatant about it.

And I spit on those PNAC appeasers myself. They have been directly responsible for every loss in the Democratic party since 1994.

19. Did Rather turn the tables on Rove?

If the documents were a Rove ploy, then discreditation was apparently planned based on the print/type/spacing issue.

Rather brought out the content issue and backed it up with witnesses.

Is it possible that CBS/Rather recognized "bait" when they saw it and figured out how to use it to bring forth the message rather than the medium of the message? After all, it did give them perfect rationale to keep digging. And the perfect excuse to do some actual investigative journalism.

[ConsAreLiars]

7. So we discover that MacDougald is the operative.

Just a corporate lawyer serving the masters. An agent of influence for corporatism of the nasty sort. Who runs him? Who else are in the same cell? Where do they operate?

Edit to correct the name)

[Pallas180]

9. Is Buck head an Ohio or a Chicago team???

Buckhead is the name of a wealthy area/section of Atlanta, I believe.

[vetwife]

12. YEah it is and so is Roswell

[Sophree]

13. Roswell?

[vetwife]

14. Roswell, Georgia

[Tsiyu]

15. kick

[drdigi420]

16. Buckhead is in Atlanta, it's the first northern suburb

Roswell is miles north of Atlanta, out in freeper country

[johnfunk]

17. Ethics breach? I wonder if, in the process of posting "facts"...

... that were clearly not vetted -- and that turned out to be outright lies (i.e. superscript "th" did not exist on typewriters of the period when in fact they did) -- Buckhead violated the ethics code of the Georgia Bar Association.

Y'know, lawyers have been disbarred for far less...

Any legal experts out there who can address the issue?

[johnfunk]

18. The Elves... they're BAAAAAAAACK!

Buckhead watchers should take a look at the article just poated to Editor and Publisher, particularly this:

Suspicions that MacDougald may have been tipped off have arisen because his quick comments on typography seemed to go far beyond his reputed expertise. He wrote that the memos purportedly written in the early 1970s by the late Lt. Col Jerry B. Killian were "in a proportionally spaced font, probably Palatino or Times New Roman....The use of proportionally spaced fonts did not come into common use for office memos until the introduction of laser printers, word processing software and personal computers," MacDougald wrote. "They were not widespread until the mid to late 90's. Before then, you needed typesetting equipment, and that wasn't used for personal memos to file. Even the Wang systems that were dominant in the mid 80's used monospaced fonts."

Interestingly, Lambert at Corrente picked up on this same 'graf, and has three points worth reiterating:

(1) the quickness of FBuckhead's response, (2) his typographic comments were lies, as we've repeatedly demonstrated (take the PC magazine tests).

Gee, it's almost like the Republicans think they're in a war, and have pre-positioned the material for their campaign, isn't it? That's what enables rapid response, after all. (If only they could fight real wars so well. Oh, wait...)

And now (3) the source of the typographic lies was a Republican operative. A classic case of the winger meme transmittal from the fringe to the mainstream, per Orcinus (in his essential "Rush, Newspeak, and Fascism.")

Yep -- the "elves" are back.

[johnfunk]

20. Kick

So... what do we do about this FBuckhead?

[RandomKoolzip]

21. KICK!

I knew something was fishy.

The worst part about this whole thing is that now Free Republic, an extremist RW site, now has a semblance of credibility to the mainstream media.


Jesus. What a fucking country. These pricks will stop at NOTHING to ensure a one-party system (y'know, just like COMMUNISM) installs itself.

[Fire Bush]

23. He's also likes BBV

In October, the Fulton County Elections Board sent Cox a letter that asked pointed questions about the security of Georgia's voting machines. The state's largest county uses 2,975 machines. Harry MacDougald, a Republican board member, wrote the letter after hearing about Rubin's report.

Cox wrote a six-page response explaining the procedures in place to ensure the machines cannot be manipulated.

The Fulton board replied Dec. 1, telling Cox she had alleviated members' concerns.

"I feel reasonably comfortable," MacDougald said recently. "There's always a theoretical possibility . That can never be excluded, regardless of the voting technology. But the measures that were previously in place, with the new measures and technical fixes that are being made, bring the issue within a reasonable degree of security."
