The Tom and Arnold Show [California Recall]

With Peter Ueberroth out of the race, all Republican eyes now turn toward State. Sen. Tom McClintock, and the effort by some party leaders and the Schwarzenegger campaign to get him to withdraw. The problem for Schwarzenegger is that while having McClintock out might be good for him, the process of getting him out is quite bad. In the end, Schwarzenegger might be better off simply ignoring McClintock. Here

I gotta be careful when I say I think someone is a pious and misguided fool. I'm a bad boy.

[68 grunt]

Loon! LOL - even better.

[elbucko]

and I want the pettiness to end sooner rather than later.

So do I.

[68 grunt]

I promise to be good, and be tolerant, as long as tolerance is demonstrated. Intolerance begets intolerance, from me, anyway.

[Spyder]

Am I the only one who sees a physical resemblance between Dean and McClintock? Not just that of course, but the radical devotion of their followers...

[elbucko]

Plagiarism is taking credit for someone else's work. I haven't done that.

Only partly true. You left his trademark on the graphic, but you did not note in any text that credit for the posted graphic belonged to "Registered". It is common practice and good manners to give credit to borrowed material.

As for my being a "dolt", I really don't care what you think of me. You are a "Zero", pun intended.

[Tamzee]

Uh oh... did you get sent to the corner again? tsk, tsk...

I'm having a harder time not just hurling bad words myself, lately.

And I had my first post pulled the other day, I'm no longer a ...ummm.... never mind... LOL

[68 grunt]

LOL

No, it's entirely true. If the definition of plagiarism is beyond your limited comprehension I suggest you look it up.

Good luck!

Tom finds a new job in the Bustamante Administration.

"Can I get you anything else, Governor Bustamante?"

[BibChr]

What you say is exactly right. Patience has its limits. And for a Christian, Scripture warns against wasting time on the deliberately ignorant.

No, you provided an exact description of plagiarism by posting Registered's "Kamikaze" pictures without an intentional posting of their origin. Frankly, your lucky that Registered protects his stuff by putting his URL in the image itself. Had he not done that, you would have had no defense at all.

You're the one that had the unintentional, "dumb luck".

[South40]

I've always said there's no arguing with the hopelessly stupid.

Why I bothered to try I'll never know.

[elbucko]

I've always said there's no arguing with the hopelessly stupid.

That's because you were stupid in posting Registered's "Kamikaze" graphics and you didn't notice that his URL was on them to begin with. You were stupid enough in your plagiarism, that you got caught. There were those on this thread that thought that the graphic was original to you. Example:

Wonderful graphics! Really good job!

Go Arnie

"68 grunt" thought that the images were posted by you, because you did not credit "Registered" with the graphics origin. You know you could have posted below the photos; "Images by Registered". But did you? Noooooo. You didn't think of that, did you?

Stuff like this is like shooting at another shooters target at the range.No real harm, but not real good either.You were trying to be cool and you got caught cold.

Why you bothered to to try this stunt, I'll never know.

Second, if McClintock quits, his diehard supporters on the right might lose interest in the recall and simply stay home on Election Day.

Gospel truth.

[Kevin Curry]

You're talking to yourself again.

[South40]

Like I said, you're hopeless.

I've got to believe though, because it's abundantly clear, that you could care less if, in your mind, I plagiarized Registered, which I obviously didn't. You just didn't like the message.

Tough.

[South40]

You're talking to yourself again.

Am I now?

Simple-minded thinking such as yours is well served positioned behind the loser that is Tom Mcclintock.

Stick with it. You might even stumble on a valid point one day.

Don't hold your breath though.

[elbucko]

You just didn't like the message.

Exactly.

[South40]

You just didn't like the message. Exactly.

But that doesn't mean I plagiarized it, which I didn't.
