RE: Redstate – Given the level of ridiculousness over there defending Big Ben (even when I thought they couldn’t get more ridiculous), they’re probably tyring decide how to wipe all their defenses of him off the site. They’re also probably wondering whether they should feel bad about banning people who pointed out examples of his plagiarism. Nah.
Probably happened that RedState’s editors had another impassioned defense of Ben Domenech all ready to post, and only then found out it had been plagiarized from somebody else. Heh.
The charges of plagarism are false, meant to bring down a good and honest man. The presented facts to prove plagarism are specious — products of shoddy work.
Ben gets his say in, and he’s not a plagiarist after all! Turns out there’s really quite a simple explanation for all of this. Well… most of this. Or something.
In any case, his final line is stellar:
To my friends: thank you for your support. To my enemies: I take enormous solace in the fact that you spent this week bashing me, instead of America.
OK guys, that’s a wrap with this Domenech fellow. Let’s get back to our regularly scheduled America-bashing straight away!

I love the “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet” sort of action in your magnified callout. Yet I still wonder why people call Cicero “greeking”.

Well, like I said to Delores Montenegro in “Calling all Quakers”, ‘have it your way, baby’!
In a more direct way, what I mean to say Ben, is you are everything wrong with America. So you see i can bash you and the nation at the same time.

America had sex with its mother. Matter of fact, still does.

Lost in all of this is the fact that his mother is such a fabulous home school teacher! Especially, those fine Christian values!
