Gerald Posner is as much an “investigative reporter” as Rob Arkley is a Dennis Kucinich Democrat.

Posner is a hack in the worse sense of the word. His most notorious claim to infamy is his absurd whitewash of JFK’s murder in his book, “Case Closed”.

Judge Posner should hold you in Contempt for comparing you to Gerald “Gatekeeper” Posner. Ok, right now it’s “Free Speech”, but I sure wouldn’t go into his Courtroom and make such a comparison…

Author quits Daily Beast after plagiarism claims.*Posner wrote on his Web site that he “inadvertently” copied the passages into master files and that he “lost sight” that the material belonged to a published source.*

Gallegos’ response: *When asked if he knew that swaths of his “My Word” commentary had previously appeared in Felix’s article, Gallegos responded, “No. I was not aware of that.”

“Obviously the question here is whether I intended to take direct quotes without attribution, and no, I didn’t intend that,” he said.

“Certainly when you’re getting ideas sometimes you write them back in a way that sounds very similar.”*

But it was not just ideas: But it was not just the thoughts that Gallegos used. In at least 10 instances, complete sentences and parts of sentences from the 2000 paper — found on the Internet by using the Google search engine — appeared in Gallegos’ submission.ER - WHOSE WORD WAS ‘MY WORD’? 9/7/2006 And then there was the other one: ER - A second Gallegos column raises questions about attribution*Another newspaper column bearing the name of District Attorney Paul Gallegos contains the words of another man — in this case, the late U.S. Sen. Robert F. Kennedy.

The column, published as a “My Word” guest commentary in the Times-Standard on May 7, during Gallegos’ heated re-election campaign against Deputy District Attorney Worth Dikeman, contained numerous phrases closely resembling those used by Kennedy in a variety of writings and public addresses.*

Ok, now, the phrase OK, and the use of U.S. cannot be considered “SHOUTING.”
