Sounds like a set-up.. what he really on the Right or did he start this just to go down in flames in front of the cameras?

"What I don't understand (although I haven't inquired) is why the website couldn't recruit somebody with more stature to do the job. ."

Ummm...because someone with more stature would not have been a public embarassment to conservatives?

[MNJohnnie]

Yep. The Junk Media always go find the fringes wack so they can quickly fire them and say "See we tried it". Why don't you partner with Powerline or Captians Quaters or Hugh Hewitt Washington Poop?

"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."

Well, shoot. Most of that applies to about 90% of all main stream "journalists."

[TC Rider]

Political reporter Dana Milbank in an online chat at the paper's Web site said today: "What I don't understand (although I haven't inquired) is why the website couldn't recruit somebody with more stature to do the job. This city is crawling with good conservative journalists with lots of heft."

Careful Dana, that kind of thinking can get you knocked off the DC party list. Don't you know, he was hired to fail?

[Tarpon]

So what's the response to the NY Times running multiple fake Bush bashing stories in the last few days? What's worse, pladarism, or just making it up?

Journalism needs an enema.

This wasn't a set-up. Domenech got caught stealing other people's work and he was rightfuly nailed. I'm glad this came out in his first week blogging for WaPo rather than months into it.

This guy hurt the many great conservative bloggers out there with his arrogance and unprofessionalism. I'm assuming he will be booted from RedState.org very, very soon.

[Galveston Grl]

Yeah, conservatives sunk the only conservative at the Post because they could not stay off their high horse for a minute to allow the left to do the dirty work for them. What a victory!

[My2Cents]

David Brock: “We at Media Matters are pleased the Ben Domenech will no longer be employed by the Post...

Translation: "We're thrilled another conservative voice has been silenced."

[george wythe]

racially charged rhetoric, homophobic bigotry

Was he also anti-Semitic and a male chauvinist pig? Why stop at racist, homophobic, bigot?

The guy was a plagiarist; he should be sacked.

Nevertheless, liberals can't comment on anybody without throwing the racist, bigot, homophobic line.

[My2Cents]

His tenure with the Post was longer than Al Gore's Presidency.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

The Post set up a strawman and whacked him. They have a Sunday weeper piece ready to go this weekend, no doubt.

[muawiyah]

For all my fans and detractors alike, here's my first, ever, post on the Warshpost "blog":

"Amazingly one of the first posters on this thread demands that folks who read the Bible do so in the manner approved by the Washington Post.

Not in a million years buddy ~ (could) kick your a$$ around the Capitol building first, eh?!

Graham Jr. IS NOT THE POPE, not even a street preacher.

Capice?

(NOTE: Edited to meet FR standards which are obviously far higher than those of the post.

It's not terribly easy to use ~ another $100 million down the internet drain by the corporate raiders who now run the Post ~ numbering the posts would help ~ saves referencing.

I don't think I will return.

[Echo Talon]

Well, now they need to hire another conservative.

[Antoninus]

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

[infidel29]

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?

[185JHP]

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