Legal Aid Program Tried to Oust Auditor

WASHINGTON -- Directors of the government's legal aid program for the poor
secretly debated how to fire the auditor who exposed their expensive meals,
use of limousine services and headquarters move to a ritzy neighborhood.

Meeting transcripts obtained by The Associated Press show that Legal Services
Corp. board members in 2005 and 2006 disparaged Inspector General Kirt West,
whose job is to find fraud, waste and abuse.

Then, LiberalFighter intrepidly waded into the details, giving names and backgrounds of the various members of the program. One of them is a fellow named Frank B. Strickland, a familiar-sounding lawyer from Georgia.

That rang a bell in my own head. I've certainly seen his name before, because back in 2004 I was interested in his buddy and fellow Fulton County Elections Board member Harry MacDougald.

We all were at the time, because Harry MacDougald was better known to freepers as http://www.zoominfo.com/people/macdougald_harry_599089178.aspx">Buckhead, the fellow who used his amazing typography training to cast doubt upon the President's draft documents presented by Dan Rather. It killed Rather's career.

Harry MacDougald, in turn, is the fellow who happily approved of Fulton County's electronic voting machines.

To me, this appears to be a classic example of the flying monkeys enjoying their unjust rewards for their nefarious deeds. Eugene and LiberalFighter deserve all the credit for bringing this story to light. I just happened to be one of the first people to read their work.

Now, lots of you spent a lot of time and research into Buckhead and all of that other suspicious crap that went down in the summer of 2004. There is only six weeks before the next elections.

I think all of us need to tear ass back through our previous research and see what else we can dig up on this group and what exactly is going on with them. We need to do it now, and we need to do it ourselves before the right-wing press can shout us down. Save whatever you find before it disappears from the Internet, and post the links here for now until someone better organized than me can take control of this.

I don't have much time to help and I have yet to hear back from LiberalFighter and Eugene, but I think the urgency of the matter justifies my going forward with bringing this to your attention right away. Remember, those two folks deserve all the credit for this if it is what I think it is. I'll happily take all the blame if it is not.

Get to work!
