I am a registered left winger who saw Rick on C-Span last week and immediately bookmarked this site. I agree totally with him re:Ben Domenech, who I also have seen on C-Span and wondered why he was there. And to find out what is worth reading among those who call themselves “conservative”, I will continue to read this blog.

[...] From RightWingNutHouse: If we conservatives have any claims to promoting honesty and decency, there will be more calls on the right for Mr. Domenech to do the honorable thing and save himself and his employer the embarrassment of being fired by resigning immediately. Little can be gained from his continuing to blog at the Washington Post as I for one never plan on linking to anything he writes and would hope that other conservatives would join me in such a boycott.

[Oops--it wasn'tmen in Black who made me accidentally hit the Submit button. it was arthritic fingers... pardon,please. :-)]

…chose Domenech to represent the “Red” position fr that reason?

PLEASE, do not think I am advancing this as a seriously plausible scenario, because I am NOT, but if the WAPO were as deviously clever as it is thoroughly left-leaning, this could not have worked out better for its agenda if it had known of Domenech’s plagiarism issues and chosen him for that reason…

Just a little rabbit trail. Nothing to see here, really. Move along, now…

(It would make an interesting plot motif as part of a political thriller, though–just a motif, though, not a major plot element. Anyone wanna write the novel? Be sure to credit me with the motif, eh? :-))

Hmmmm… while I strongly agree that plagiarism MUST be the kiss of death for anyone found to engage in the practice, and it does appear that the kiss has been earned in this case, a little tickle in my ear has me wondering…

NOTE: I have NO knowledge whether the following has ANY basis in fact. NONE. PURE SPECULATION.

Is it possible the WAPO knew all this in advance and chose

It’s not funny. We thought we would have a voice at a leftist publication,and that’s huge. Domenech didn’t just steal from others, he stole from us. He took our CLEAR message, dirtied it, then removed it from the Post’s site. Any other conservative
blogger hired will have to bear the taint that Domenech left behind. I, for one will have problems trusting ANYTHING a new WASHINGTON POST blogger writes (and maybe they want it that way), unless it’s someone I’m used to reading like Michelle Malkin or the guys over at American Thinker. Trust is a huge issue for me, and I happily jumped on Red America’s bandwagon. No more!

Ben Domenech Resigns

Ben Domenech has had a rough few days. He started off taking shit for his new Red America blog over at WaPo. Then he’s called a bigot for some blog posts he made a while back at Red State.
Now, he’s been forced to resign from his position…

Attacking Ben Domenech II

On Wednesday, I defended Ben Domenech against inflammatory and over-the-top attacks by several bloggers on the Left, challenging opponents to, “Criticize his arguments, not his upbringing.” Now, a second round of attacks are underway that …
