[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gay is only the tip of the iceberg.  The right is going to start going after professors and administrators with whom they disagree by using software to comb through their research looking for errors and plagiarism.  Buckle up.[/quote]

I totally agree that the right is going to use this incident to go after even more professors, especially ones of color. But they should remember that the anti-plagiarism software doesn't care about politics--it can also find plagiarism in the work of right-leaning academics. [/quote]

Not a problem. Especially given that there's, what, 50 left wing academics for every 1 right wing academic. [/quote]

Let's start with Liberty U., BYU, Bob Jones U., SMU, and keep going. I'm sure all the professors there were hired due to their sterling academic credentials solely. [/quote]

In New England alone, surveys reveal for every 28 university professors who identify as liberal or progressive, there is just 1 who identifies as a republican.

Does anyone believe 28 to 1 is "balance?" [/quote]

Okay I guess we will,have to look at the federalist society membership.[/quote]

Go for it.

Unfortunately for you, there is no mass conspiracy to refuse to review conservative writers and academics work for plagiarism. So trying to make this into a game with the pretension that what is happening to Gay is only a right wing witch hunt is making you look silly and hysterical. Gay got her comeuppance. As the old say went, pride goes before fall. You're just trying to make a martyr out of a mediocre hack who grifted her way to the top, which, when you think about it, is a very strange thing to do.

But I do understand your mentality. Gay is on "your side" of the ideological divide and a champion of causes you believe in, therefore she needs to be defended and protected at all costs to avoid presenting weaknesses to the enemy, whoever they are. But such mentality only ends up exposing the same weaknesses and corruption you fear, except that it's on [i]your[/i] side, not the enemy's side. This mentality and ironic outcome is as old as history. And history, as another old saying goes, repeats itself. And it's quite laughable. [/quote]
