Possible Senate candidate removes copied language from Obama site

KINGSPORT, Tenn. (AP) - A potential Republican state Senate candidate had to edit his Web site because it contained language lifted from the site of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.

Mike Faulk, a lawyer from Church Hill, is considering a challenge to Senator Mike Williams of Maynardville. Williams this year shed his Republican affiliation to become an independent.

State Democrats pointed out this week that the "Get Involved" and "Donate" sections on Faulk's site mirrored the same sections on Obama's site. Faulk has since removed the language from his site, but questioned why he has become the target of state Democrats.

Load up here.

I wonder. Some people think the only crime is getting caught. I'm sure the Democrats are subject to their own indiscretions but they're no where near as good at grabbing the headlines with them.

Hey! At least he didn't steal from a fellow Republican. Now that's a demonstration of honor and integrity if ever there was one!

As for questioning why he's been targeted by state Democrats, it seems to me that it doesn't take a genius to figure that out. A.) He's unethical; B.) He's a Republican. (Though, I'm beginning to wonder if those aren't one and the same thing.)

On a side note, I think the head line editor had his head up his but. I would think the headline probably should have read: "Possible Senate candidate removes language copied from Obama site". After all, he didn't remove the language from Obama's site as the head line seems to imply ... he removed the language he plagiarized from his own site!

But then, with text messaging and all, who the F@&% really cares about accuracy in language use, anyway. You know what I mean?

As my Japanese friends used to say, "Spreak Engrish!"
