Plagiarism after thirty years of crafting liberal opinions he ran out of invective and had to steal someone elses's.

I do not think he stole-
HE WAS GIVEN HIS TALKING POINTS!
either from the DNC or the nyslimes
This paper will exonerate him- it is Bush's fault.

Who's to say he just started? The Red Star said they're only researching the past year. Plagiarism is an old crime that only rose to prominence when forensic tools (the innernet) improved to the point that the average Joe could be Ace Detective.

I have always known that most liberals have never had an original thought. Further proof of the left's intellectual laziness...

I don't know - liberal opinion is so empty and vacant it's very possible that this guy isn't really committing plagarism and just echoing tired liberal themes and rhetoric.

Is using the writings of others in the same commune really plagerism?
To: Russ
Give a Liberal a thought and he'll repeat it mindlessly all day. Teach a Liberal to think for himself and he'll vote Republican for the rest of his life.

Kudos to the guys at Powerline. This finally got some main stream traction.

I don't know that it qualifies as plagerism, but the Dallas Morning News' national news articles are all re-hashes of the New York Times' stuff.

Demagogues all work from the same talking points - don't see how this is so different from the typical NY Slimes editorial.

Yeah. The part where he wrote about the dictatorship of the proletariat, state ownership of the means of production, and the upcoming massacre of the bourgeoisie was straight Marx.
To: mj1234
"HE WAS GIVEN HIS TALKING POINTS!"
My thoughts exactly. I have seen this "plagarism" in lots of places.

Check out the related thread about Columbia Univ. journalism students cheating on an "ethics in journalism" exam.

A flock of incurious dense parrots.

Anybody who reads this rag should already know the paper is a rewashing of the DNC talking points anyway. If they had an original thought, it would qualify as a miracle!
