Butter is fattening, right. So buttermilk must be fattening too, right?

When you churn cream, you get butter and buttermilk. The butter is 80% fat, and the buttermilk is almost entirely nonfat.
They don't sell that in stores. What they sell is "cultured buttermilk", a cultured product much like kefir. They add a culture to skim milk, let it go for a while, and add salt, sodium citrate (a salt form of citric acid), vitamin A palmitate and vitamin D3.
A cup of cultured buttermilk has only 120 calories. It only provides 4% of the recommended daily allowance of fat, but 35% of the RDA for calcium and 25% of the RDA for vitamin D. It provides 10 grams of protein.
(And your premise about butter is wrong, too. Trans fats are fattening, but not butter - but that's not what you were asking about.)

Is Buttermilk Fattening

I think you'd find there is less fat in some buttermilk than there is in 2% milk. Most buttermilk nowadays is processed from regular skim or 2% milk and done with acids to make the sour "buutermilk" If you could find real Buttermilk with little chunks of butter floating in it then yes it would be fafttening.
There are recipes for making buttermilk on -line. Yes, the good old days of real Buttermilk are pretty much gone unless you can go right to a dairy that makes it or a specialty store. Check the labels and you'll find it is not any fatter than most low fat milk.

buttermilk, is the whey left over from making butter. It has absolutley no fat in it because all of it is taken out and put into the butter! I have made butter in my blender ( yes we have a cow) you pour in heavy cream, blend it all up for about 5 minutes until it's butter, and then, your left with a big lump of butter, and the whey (buttermilk). So drink up, it's guilty free =)

Yes, but it wont add fat as soon as you drink it. Just dont use it on your cereal every morning or anything.
