Gannon-Rather docs.. someone want to investigate
Who the first person was to post about that on free republic? were they not the ones who started the whole type face thing? i wonder if we can find the identity of who posted that and if they have any connections to gannon..

1. You mean a link like this?????
http://mediamatters.org/items/200502100001

HANNITY: Now, Jeff Gannon, who is a terrific Washington bureau chief and White House correspondent for Talon News, actually shot me an e-mail today, and he's about to break a story in an exclusive about these CBS documents.
Gee, Sean it sucks when they have you on tape.

This could be traced right back to the White House and has the
potential to take * down. Gannon was a White House stooge .... now how did
he know about the blogger's having a story about Rather having "fake" documents?
We know that Creative Response Concepts helped in both the Swift Boat slime job
and the Rather job ...... where does Mr. Gannon come in?

We now have the power to "frame the debate" and bypass the MSM
which is now running from this story.

7. here is the quote
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1122560/posts?q=1&&page=51

To: Interesting Times
I was on the Schmuley show on Liberty Broadcasting with John O'Neill yesterday. It was a 3-way fight with some DNC flak.

Kerry's going to get creamed with this stuff. I found myself screaming at the Dem guy to get Kerry to release his FBI files.

He said: "So you want to use J. Edgar Hoover's files as a character reference?"

I SURE DO!

6. Buckhead was the blogger who planted the
story that the docs were forged ..... he was out of Atlanta ..... ? how did he
know that without seeing the docs? ........ He must have know that Burkhart (sp)
was given some "dummy docs"


Look into Creative Response Concepts they do Rove's bidding ......
Gannon was just a tool.

Georgia lawyer led challenge to CBS documents

By Tom Baxter
Cox News Service
Monday, September 20, 2004



ATLANTA — An Atlanta lawyer, Harry W. MacDougald, has become a key figure in the controversy over whether CBS News relied on forged documents to question President Bush's service in the National Guard.

Writing under the nickname "Buckhead" in a posting on FreeRepublic.com, a conservative Web site, MacDougald was the first to question the authenticity of documents purportedly written in 1972 because the proportionally spaced fonts used in the memos were not used in typewriters at that time.

SNIP

MacDougald serves on the advisory board of the Southeastern Legal Foundation, a conservative advocacy group, and as a sole practitioner was involved in two of the foundation's high-profile cases: a challenge to the McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform bill, and the Arkansas disbarment proceedings against former President Bill Clinton.

10. Very interesting
A Gannon connection to those documents could very well bring down the administration.

11. Nah
Either Gannon is going to end the tragic victim of a suicide or plane crash, or the US will attack Iran or Syria or some small defenseless island that no one has heard of before and six months from now we'll be asking: "Anybody remember that Gannon/Guckert scandal?"

Cynicism aside, I'd love for this story to grow legs, sprint right up to Bush and kick his ass out of the White House.
