Rep. Sherrod Brown Plagiarizes Nathan Newman
Rep. Sherrod Brown wrote a letter to Mike DeWine, plagiarizing blogger Nathan Newman. Newman doesn’t care, though, so maybe this story will just go away.
So a Sherrod Brown staffer used some lines from one of my blog posts. Who frigging cares?
Newman also adds:
Update: It’s also worth noting that he blog post was also posted at DailyKos, which has
this disclaimer on every page:“Site content may be used for any purpose without explicit permission unless otherwise specified.”
See at the bottom of this page:
http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2005/11/1/91136/3637So the reporter saying that Brown’s letter “was plagiarized” is flatly inaccurate. The reality is that politicians used public domain sources in a whole host of ways and using my blog post was no different.
Paul at Wizbang has more.
Of course staffers will take the fall and somebody really should be fired. Not for plagiarism but for being so completely stupid as to plagiarize a blogger and assuming it would go unnoticed.
