should any of your local lawmakers' offices be vandalized as retribution for their vote on the healthcare bill and should you subsequently be picked up as a person of interest, don't get too upset. based on this photo you're clearly not the one responible. it's a no-brainer (how fitting is that?). as you can see, the true culprit got it right.
[quote]And then wrote an article that was not about him. [/quote] still, after all this time, you've still never explained how you managed to journey from your ridiculous imagined mischaracterization of goldwater's words ("extremism in pursuit of virtue is no vice") to eventually conclude "extremism in pursuit of virtue is a vice". enlighten us please. not a vice? a vice? both? neither?
[quote]Ah, the kb we all know - resort to name calling. Very good liar. [/quote] technically i guess if you start out calling me a liar there's no resorting involved. i do feel sorta badly about comparing you to a batch of imperfectly manufactured douchebags...and i hope they'll accept my apology. unlike you, they aren't responsible for their flaws.
[quote]how else to explain why you began by blaming goldwater for "extremism in pursuit of virtue is no vice" only to contradict yourself and the entire concept by warning 'extremism in pursuit of virtue IS a vice"? I did not blame him for anything. I quoted him . [/quote] actually you didn't. cuz he never said anything of the kind. but you certainly went to great effort to put those words--still steaming, having been just been pulled ou

[quote]accusing someone of plagiarism and passing off somebody else's work as their own is quite different from accusing someone of neglecting to attribute a text quoted to the correct person.

[quote]Is it because you're a liberal and you know I'm not? [/quote] it has nothing whatsoever to do with liberal or not (glad you didn't use conservative because neither you nor guy are conservatives as much as reactionaries, but that's a whole other story). what it's all about is responsible and ethical journalism. you may not think of yourselves as journalists but that is, in fact, what you are by virtue of what you do--or claim to do--here. you
[quote]you have no sense of humor[/quote] one of my dad's favorite jokes involved an defendant on trial for alleged acts of bestiality who was being excoriated by a prosecutor who informed the jury, "ladies and gentlemen, this man was seen having sex with a horse. and if that wasn't bad enough, he slept with a cow! good people, i can barely bring myself to inform you this man engaged in sexual congress with chickens!"--at which point the accused leapt into the air and scre
[quote]You never did correct your lies and errors[/quote] i invite you--the man who claimed martin luther king was betrayed by obama's election after previously misquoting barry goldwater as having said "extremism in pursuit of virtue is no vice (following up each of those two bizarre fantasies by absolutely refusing to admit his own foolishness)--to prove that statement.
on january 8, 2010 under the headline "an old cowboy"--non-default text formatting btw--kfc chose to pass off as her own work a rather sophomoric supposedly humorous recounting of a purported conversation between said cowboy and a lesbian. google the first sentence and you'll find hit after hit pointing to websites reporting the exact same story--all of which claim this event transpired in "starbucks" (product placement at its finest). admittedly this one's gone viral but stil

[quote]I feel embarrassed for you Kingbee. KFC attributed the writing to someone other than herself, so I guess its pretty clear that she didn't try to claim credit for it. A pity[/quote] if anyone deserves your pity and embarrasment, it ain't me. "sent to me by a friend" hardly qualifies as attribution when quoting word-for-word the entirety of something published weeks earlier online (and therefore easily discoverable--prolly even using bing). please notice the
[quote]Clearly the master of no notataion likes to fault anyone for any notation.[/quote] i've posted over 200 articles. those containing material from any source other than my own deluded self provide links, cite references and accurately credit both author and publisher. if by "notation" you mean attribution, you've once again demonstrated ignorance of our language while also ignoring fact (and, it would appear, very foolishly pretending you've never engaged in t

[quote]Job wrote about the dinos so I suppose he saw them or knew about them.[/quote] thanks for making my point for me. can you produce an original copy of job's writings or any tangible evidence job ever existed? lotsa stuff was drawn on cave walls, including representations of a pantheon of deities. do you accept their existence? if you were truly a person of faith, your answer would be something like: "i believe the bible is literally true despi
[quote]oh so now we're singing a different tune are we?[/quote] not really. are you claiming your "friend" authored the piece? if so, be sure caruba is informed. if not, from whom did your friend rip it off? if a friend hands you stolen merchandise and you hold onto it--worse yet, put it to use--aren't you an accessory to the theft even if it happened lessay 2 or 3 weeks ago?
as did the guy who posted it on 3/6/2010. surely whomever spent the time to compile this nonsense musta been so proud of it as to claim authorship. or did this simply create itself ala the universe. however it came into being, does "sent to me by a friend" really relieve you of any duty to ascertain authoriship? isn't that sorta like finding a wallet and making no effort to locate its owner?
oops! i nearly forgot something... how many times in the past have you presented another's writing as your own?
jeez kfc. isn't there a commandment somewhere forbidding publishing another's work as one's own? on 3/6, alan caruba posted the following on his blog So, when I received a forwarded message, “Look on the bright side”, from one of my friends, it all came together for me. Unfortunately, the author of the text is unknown, but I ho
