MATTHEW HOY says he’s identified a case of theft from the blogosphere. He’s referring to this column by Kathleen Parker, but I think he may overstate the case a bit.

The similarity between Parker’s column and some widely reproduced comments from Charles Johnson’s website (reproduced in Hoy’s post) is strong. But the words are different, the ideas are not quite identical, and though the commenter on Johnson’s website expressed it very well, the idea that if Bush had rounded up a bunch of Arab men on, say, 9/10 he would have been accused of racism, Gestapo tactics, etc., wasn’t actually expressed there for the first time.

UPDATE: If you follow the link to Hoy’s site and click on “comments,” you’ll see that the guy who posted the original item on Charles Johnson’s site says Parker didn’t steal anything from him.
