That is the most pathetic comparison I have ever seen. The comparison makes this story a very weak attempt at journalism. If you had done your research, you would know what really happened with VP Joe Biden
1) when he was in law school he made an honest mistake and did not cite a paper correctly - his professor at the time said so as well.
2) he used a quote in a debate (which he had used NUMEROUS times before) and incorrectly did not cite the author.
Are these both careless stupid mistakes? Absolutely. Can 2 mistakes be compared to plagiarizing over 50% of your writings at one publication? Hardly.
It is no secret that journalism is a dying industry. From one journalist to another, please stop dragging down the ship.
It's that same sense of ambition for ambition's sake that is evident in Mr. Goeglein's purloined columns that ruffles me, not the omitted "according to..." "as XYZ noted in...", etc.
But to each his own. Thanks for reading and responding.
I also like the comment about Bozo the clown but actually, except for his untimely death, he might have made an excellent lobbyist for Focus on the Family. After James Dobson's vicious, dishonest and uncivil comments on Barack Obama just prior to the election, bringing in a real clown might just distract a little attention from the blatantly anti-democratic agenda of FoF and the Fundamentalist lunatic fringe that they represent. Since they are pretty much all that's left of the Republican Party - having sickened the rest of us and driven us away - they will just wander in the desert until the circus brings another train-load of elephants to town.
All the Fundamentalists have is their absolute belief in preposterous nonsense. They don't change; they won't grow; they won't learn and they don't go away. So they will be around to flog their own peculiar brand of irrationality, in the pursuit of bad public policy.
Let's just hope that we get break from the distraction of their destructive agenda for at least eight years. Even if they haven't noticed, the rest of us have real work to do.
By the way, I don't mean to disparage atheists. I am an agnostic myself.
Nope, Seneca nailed that one long ago in Latin: "Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful." <<< Seneca the Younger 4BC-65AD)
Sadly, there is French quote that warns us of the dangers inherent in the manipulation of such irrational forces: "Those who believe absurdities will commit atrocities." <<< Voltaire
We have seen more than enough of that in the last eight years.
The Iron Cross worked before, and as before the collaboration yielded a self-destructive result.

As von Clausewitz wrote: "The Conqueror is always a lover of peace: he would prefer to take over our country unopposed." That is precisely what they did; they keep us in mortal struggle with these brain-dead Fundamentalist twits, while they peacefully marched through the banks and the insurance companies and the bond rating companies and the derivative selling brokerages and diverted the world's capital into the hands of a cabal of criminals... unopposed. Pretty good trick. They got away with it (so far) because we were otherwise occupied. If you go into your local bank with a candy-stick and rob them of $2223 dollars, you're likely to get ten years, they emptied the vaults and remain "respected citizens." The "moral concerns" of creeps like James Dobson, have always been a diversion - a side-show trick - to take our eyes away from what the real Republicans considered important. They just needed the votes of these rubes to win elections, then threw them crumbs to keep them on board while they got on with the real business agenda - theft. "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!"
Thanks
