Anonymous said...: The source code for WND indicates the page was posted on July 10, which is two days after the original idea was posted by Sean. Kind of hard to argue who had the idea first. I left comments, we'll see if they post them.; July 10, 2011 at 7:46 AM
Sean D Sorrentino said...: Thanks for the link.

Hope you have fun at the gun show.; July 10, 2011 at 9:11 AM

Anonymous said...: WND is a crap reader's "news" source. They are in the business of making money, not disseminating news so I'm not surprised about the idea theft.; July 10, 2011 at 11:16 AM
MamaLiberty said...: See the update. Seems WND has taken care of this in a timely manner.

This is very good. I don't have much use for WND due to past dealings with Farah, but it seems they've done the right thing this time.; July 10, 2011 at 12:02 PM
Sean D Sorrentino said...: UPDATE: WND DOES THE RIGHT THING! After a quick email conversation with WND Editor Joseph Farah, he has pulled the shirt from sale and will commence an investigation on Monday when everyone gets back to the office.

Please join me in thanking the WND Editor and CEO for his swift resolution of this issue. Read the update on this post! http://bit.ly/nCcX9G; July 10, 2011 at 12:02 PM
ParaPacem said...: UPDATE - Farah pulled the ad and promises to investigate what happened, and apologized to NC.; July 10, 2011 at 12:11 PM
Graves said...: Sean is reporting that the situation is being handled in a satisfactory manner by WND.; July 10, 2011 at 12:17 PM

That anyone still cites tham as a "news source," especially those in the new media and established media (i.e. Hannity, TheWND has made a pretty lucrative business in lifting ideas, columns and initiatives from others and making them their own...as it were.

That anyone still cites them as a "news source," especially those in the new media and established media (i.e. Hannity, The Washington Times, Townhall.com), is a tragedy in and of itself.

In reality, Farrah should be brought up on charges for plagiarism, if nothing else.

Sorry he stole your idea...there is a special place for Farrah and his ilk in Dante's circles... Washington Times, Townhall.com), is a tragedy in and of itself.

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
