Todays top post was plagiarized from a DU thread I wrote a few months ago
 I am not writing this to call out proud2blibkansas as I know he/she didn't know about this. And normally I wouldn't mind this kind of thing but this was a special thread for me, it had over 500 recs and I was contacted by Skinner because someone wanted my permission to use it in a book. I gave permission as long as I was credited. Well it seems someone has changed a few words around and "made it their own".

You can see the thread p2b posted here:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...

and the original version I posted last August here:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...

They are almost identical. Pisses me off, they could have just used my original text, it's not like I didn't give people permission.

Good grief when all you say 24/7 is bush sucks, dems rule then after awhile it starts to look exactly the same.

There's a good chance that walldude plagiarized the list anyway.

Since when has any primitive ever had an original idea anyway?

I suspect there's lots and lots of plagiarism going on, on Skins's island, that we and the primitives don't discover.

It's in the primitives' nature to steal, after all.

It's speshul... like the rest of the DUmp.

DU is 99% plagiarized from DNC talking points.

The original 1% get locked.... Jefferson's Ghost...

22. I saw a comedian do a Bush set I wrote on Craig Ferguson's show once.
 That was bizarre because usually people only steal a line here or there, not an entire piece. But, it happens.

Dude, Craig Ferguson isn't stealing your material.  He's actually funny.  You're some bitter old hag who bitches about EVERYTHING in life.

Nice catch, Texacon.

George Lucas and JK Rowling probably also got a few ideas from her too.

Very little original in Harry Potter, just put together exceptionally well.

Of course DUmmy walldude plagiarized that crap in the first place. A guy dumb enough to get fired for sabotaging his employer then bragging about it on the internet isn't likely to come up with much original material. Anyway, the choromosomally-challenged DUmmy Pam Dawson got tombstoned once for plagiarizing a post made by another DUmmy, who almost certainly stole it from someone else. If Skimmer has a consistent bone in his scrawny communist body, P2b will get the granite pizza and have to whine and beg for readmittance.

A DUmmy with a clever idea is like a seagull with a dead mullet. The chance he's the seagull who caught it in the first place is remote.
