Rush asks, DU delivers

[tcfrogs]

Limbaugh was just discussing plagiarism, and cited a number of Dems that have been caught. Said he couldn't ever recall any Repugs that have been caught plagiarizing.

Anyone have any examples for me?

1. they have done a lot worse things

Serial killer/rapist Ted Bundy campaigned for the Republican Party

Republican racist pedophile and United States Senator Strom Thurmond had sex with a 15-year old black girl which produced a child.

Republican activist Lawrence E. King, Jr. organized child sex parties at the White House during the 1980s.

Republican lobbyist Craig J. Spence organized child sex parties at the White House during the 1980s.

Republican Mayor Philip Giordano is serving a 37-year sentence in federal prison for sexually abusing 8- and 10-year old girls.

Republican Congressman Donald "Buz" Lukens was found guilty of having sex with a minor and sentenced to one month in jail.

Republican fundraiser Richard A. Delgaudio was found guilty of child porn charges.

Republican activist Mark A. Grethen convicted on six counts of sex crimes involving children.

Republican activist Randal David Ankeney pleaded guilty to attempted sexual assault on a child.

Republican Congressman Dan Crane had sex with a minor working as a congressional page.

Republican activist and Christian Coalition leader Beverly Russell admitted to an incestuous relationship with his step daughter.

Republican congressman and anti-gay activist Robert Bauman was charged with having sex with a 16-year-old boy he picked up at a gay bar.

10. Don't forget

the 'Letters to America' that were sent to several news outlets from supposed troops.

12. And the moral of the story is: Clinton had a sexual consensual

act with an adult that wasn't illegal? WOW, those repugs sure are a moral bunch.

Thanks bartcop, good stuff.

2. How 'bout Powell's UN Speech ?

Wasn't most of the 'data' actually some kid's master's thesis ?

:shrug:

3. Can't think of any off the top of my head

Repugs make up their own lies, I guess.

[StClone]

7. I think lies and controlling the AM dial and much other media

Allows Rush to note that Dems are caught plagiarizing because Republicans are never exposed by the Conservative media.

4. Wasn't some of the "intelligence" used in justifying...

...the Iraq invasion plagiarized from a paper written by a post-grad student? Does anyone remember the details?

5. There's the documented "astroturf" (i.e., fake grassroots) efforts

Where identical LTTEs appear in newspapers around the country, signed by different people.

6. See, herein lies part of the problem

Rush and the rest of the neocon cronies have time to sit and worry about items like plagiarism. The rest of us are worried about health care, the economy, a good job, the losses in Iraq and so-forth.

Yet more evidence that El Rushbo and the conservative constituents live in their own manufactured Lah-Lah-Land. God help us if they ever figure out a way to get those "manufacturing" jobs on the books.

15. It's also illustrative of how they think in general.....

Ala Clinton....lied under oath (in a perjury trap)...and thus was unfit to be president.
This is a methodology of character assassination that Limbaugh has mastered.

Since the success of the Clinton character assassination, we have seen an avalanche of over attention to nit picking people for the sake of attempting to prove that they were caught in a lie. A perfect formula to eliminate whoever you want, when you want to. Flip flopping is only a recent twist on this technique.

I work with a-holes like this everyday. They sum a person up, not by the content of what they have accomplished, but by the sum total of their alleged "slip ups". And when they want to "get rid of someone" or else perform a strategic character assassination....they look for these obscure items which they claim hold monumental importance.

8. Mike Barnicle, fired from Boston Globe for plagiarism

And not just once, either!

11. that's who I was gonna say too

I can't believe they still let that asshat on TV.

9. How about Stephen Ambrose and Doris Kearns

They have both been in the spotlight about plagerism lately. I don't know for a fact that either one of them was/is a Republican, but when I heard Ambrose on talk shows he sure struck me as one, and Doris always seems to throw sharp barbs at Kennedy, Gore, and Clinton when she is asked to comment on them.

13. Jeremy Holmstead plagairized a corporate memo

to write EPA policy.

Proposed Mercury Rules Bear Industry Mark
EPA Language Similar to That in Memos From Law Firm Representing Utilities
By Eric Pianin
Washington Post Staff Writer
Saturday, January 31, 2004; Page A04

The Bush administration proposed new rules yesterday regulating power plants' mercury pollution, and some of the language is similar to recommendations from two memos sent to federal officials by a law firm representing the utility industry.

-snip-

"A side-by-side comparison of one of the three proposed rules and the memorandums prepared by Latham & Watkins -- one of Washington's premier corporate environmental law firms -- shows that at least a dozen paragraphs were lifted, sometimes verbatim, from the industry suggestions."
