Rachel Maddow retracts false Brown plagiarism story, BMG still has it on front page

You best save that screen shot (5.00 / 1)

Wow, the Maddow Blog was the last place I'd ever expect RMG to get an inbound link from, silly season indeed.

Not so fast.... (0.00 / 0)

Your research is flawed.   You make the following statement:

Scott Brown launched his campaign website in January 2012 with the language.  Parmon launched her campaign for State Senate only in February of 2012.

When you check Internet Archive, you see that Scott Brown did NOT launch his web site in January 2012.    Your statement is inaccurate, and your premise is false.

Besides, we already know that Scott Brown has a history of plagiarism.    

Let's see what Parmon has to say about this situation

Does not have a screen shot from January of 2012.  BUT our good friend and fellow RMGer Ed Lyons did write a tech review of the new site on JANUARY 24, 2012.  You can read it here if you like.

The best part is reading Charley on the MTA offering the classiest retraction he and BMG are capable of (0.00 / 0)

So, based on the research Rob has done at RMG, and discernente in the comments, I'm not convinced it was Brown who did the plagiarizing -- in fact, it seems more likely the opposite. Now ... why would anyone bother to plagiarize such utterly banal political boilerplate?

WAY TO SAVE FACE CHARLEY!

they can't just say it without all the hem-haw and dismissals.

And the story on BlueMassGroup was recommended by my favorite BMG maniac ... SomervilleTom! Then he heard the news! (0.00 / 0)

At 9:25 last night he wasn't ready to concede, but he was greasing the skids if you know what I mean ...

Perhaps one of the campaigns will provide additional information to allow inquiring minds to discern the truth. I'm not convinced by the arguments that Ms. Parmon copied Scott Brown's material, to me the evidence speaks to the contrary.

I've eaten crow before and, though I don't like the flavor, will do so again if needed. At the moment (9:25p on 16-Aug), I'm not ready to concede. -SomervilleTom

I don't think so. (5.00 / 1)

None of cvim's posts used (ad nauseum) the word "hilariously" , nor the banal phrase: "this one's really important".

I noticed that too geo and he didn't say "oh this is so embarrassing" or "How embarrassing ..." (0.00 / 0)

But they both did use cute little pet names for Scott Brown like "scottie" or "little scottie".  And when both report on a bogus story that gets retracted latter ... it's usually a Rachel Maddow screw up that burns him.  

I think they also said "mmmmright" but that little tid bit is still being researched.

OH and BTW - great job dusting off the 'Evict CVIM Thread' that was great! (0.00 / 0)

I remember that thread like it was yesterday!  Over 300 comments ... about 1/3 of them were CVIM reveling in the amount of hate directed at him ... as a troll myself I found that level of dedication revealing.  After leaving over 100 comments it was clearly one of CVIM's most important threads of his career ... sad.
