“If you go to Herman Cain’s page you will note that at least the first three stories from his page have been co-opted by this blogpimp and posted as if originating from his blog page...”

Wrong. All three are Robert Laurie stories run by both Hermain Cain and Canada Free Press.

Don’t get it twisted.

Not wrong.

Yes, Robert Laurie is the author. However, in true blogpimp fashion CFP publishes it on their blog in a manner implying said author was one of their 'staff'. If this Sean Anthony dude merely wanted to keep us informed he would create an FR post that links to and gives credit to Herman Cain's website. He does not do so. He instead creates an FR post that directs to his blogsite and a copied version of the real page instead of the true source.

Then to avoid the legal issues he posts a source disclaimer. In small print. Way down at the bottom of the page. Where no one would ever look. Which might be legal but is certainly disingenuous.

Here's what that source disclaimer says in this instance: "Robert Laurie’s column is distributed by CainTV, which can be found at caintv.com." (Note that the correct URL is hermancain.com.) Go ahead. See how far down the page you have to hunt to find it.

Any twisting is being done by the blogpimp by inference and omission.

As a side thought, I note that you and this Sean Anthony dude signed up a week apart in 2004. You wouldn't happen to be alter-egos would you? Seeing as how you're on the defensive here and all..

Objectivity is the essence of intelligence unless you intentionally overlook things that discredit your scenario. Then it's feigned objectivity and non intelligent..
