For the most part, yes.

You'll notice that the only liberals and/or Democrats who were willing to reject any affiliation with Brock were ones, such as Jane Mayer, who he had personally attacked in the past.

The rest seemed more than happy to count him as one of their fans, even though he is an avowed liar and smear artist.

The Post still needs to explain why a partisan operative who admits he is not a journalist and who has a history of racially charged rhetoric, homophobic bigotry, and serial plagiarism was given a platform on Washingtonpost.com in the first place.

Because the same old partisan hacks, racial rhetoric, anti-Christian bigotry, and leftist spin was getting boring?

"A guy who voluntarily signs up to work for the enemy is immediately suspect."

That may be one of the stupidest lines ever written.

You know, President Bush works for 'the enemy.'

He is President of places like Ann Arbor, Berkley, Manhattan and Malibu.

Is he 'immediately suspect'?

How about if one of us got an op-ed gig at the NY Times?

You'd say just turn it down, right?

LOL!!!

Plagiarism is a serious offense. It isn't a more serious offense than writing fabricated stuff about an "8 year old heroin addict."
