A Dear Ann Landers Moment: Geoffrey Dunn Continues to Project His Own Feelings on Palin in Writing

Geoffrey Dunn is having a "I see ghostwriters" moment when it comes to Sarah Palin's Op-eds and FaceBook entries..

As for the Op-eds, so who hasn't had an editor go over the final print?

What is funny is (one); how much Geoffrey Dunn writes about Palin and then goes on to accuse Palin of obsessing on Obama?

And (two); maybe Dunn should do some obsessing on Obama when it comes to writing speeches.

Because there seems to be a lot of Ummmmms and Uhhhhhhhs edited out of Obama's speeches.

This latest screed put out by Dunn reads like a letter that was written to an Ann Landers column with a chip, er... no, make that an old growth tree trunk on his shoulder.

Comment: You're absolutely correct, Tom. Besides, when the left tries to make a meme out of the DNC talking point that Sarah allegedly didn't write her posts, that is simply a sign that they have no good counterpoints to the arguments she makes in the posts.

Jesse Griffin aka Sigmund Freud is Doing Some Kwazy Analyzing

Words of advice for Jesse Griffin. Stick to your schtick in your headline.

Example: The Immoral Minority.. Don't give out moral advice or take the moral high ground when you label yourself immoral.

Also leave the analyzing of behavioral problems to the blogs that can analyze the Kwazy stuff.

Like when Geoffrey Dunn had Cognitive Interruptus

And he had a Temper Tantrum

And one of the best analysis (Sigmund Freud would be proud) on Dunn: Geoffrey Plays Bristol's Daddy

The Rorschach test produced an interesting comment:

"I don't know what type of crystal meth you're on, but this has got to be the biggest distortion of anything I've ever written in my life. But let me just make two points and then you can go oil up your shotgun: 1) In the Fox interview with Bristol, the Governor comes in and AGREES with her daughter about abstinence. There's your 'Mommy Dearest' moment.I don't make this stuff up. 2) I just saw the Ann Coulter interview where she says that Bristol should put her child 'UP FOR ADOPTION.' Where's the Governor's response to THAT? Where's your response to THAT? Dude, the silence is deafening. I have three beautiful children so I certainly don't need anymore. Stay on the road with that new truck of yours. I don't think you can handle the off-the-road terrain."

And (third and last and) Jesse Griffin aka Sigmund Freud points to Geoffrey pointing to Palin's obsession of Obama?

Is there a psychiatrist in this asylum? Calling Dr. Google....

It seems Dr. Google has come up with a diagnoses of Geoffrey Dunn projecting his own traits onto Sarah Palin.

Moreover, from his Mommy Dearest moment, Dunn had this to say:

I've written more than two dozen pieces on Palin since she was picked to ride shotgun with John McCain.

pro·jec·tion
Pronunciation: \prə-ˈjek-shən\
Function: noun

a. Psychology - the tendency to ascribe to another person feelings, thoughts, or attitudes present in oneself, or to regard external reality as embodying such feelings, thoughts, etc., in some way.

b. Psychoanalysis - such an ascription relieving the ego of a sense of guilt or other intolerable feeling.

It seems according to the Huffington Post's standard on obsessive behavior, Dunn has gone from overly obsessive to being madly in love with Sarah Palin.

HuffPo's Geoffrey Has Come Undunn over Palin

Geoffrey Dunn, in an unhinged huff piece at HuffPo, has charged Gov. Palin with plagiarism. In a dubious diary titled "Palin Plagiarizes Gingrich in Anchorage Speech," Dunn declares, "It's a pure case of unadulterated plagiarism":

Palin acknowledged that "Recently, Newt Gingrich, he had written a good article about Reagan...." (Recently? It was four years ago; and she said "good," with an obvious disdain, since Gingrich has been rather dismissive of her recently.)

2. Palin: He said, regarding your dad Michael, he said that we need to learn from his example that courage and persistence are keys to historic achievement.

Gingrich/Shirley: Courage and persistence are the keys to historic achievement.

Merriam-Webster defines plagiarize as:

"...to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's own : use (another's production) without crediting the source..."

But Gov. Palin acknowledged both Newt Gingrigh and the article the former House Speaker wrote, as Dunn admits twice. How can paraphrasing be considered plagiarizing when both the author and the source are cited?

It cannot. So Gov. Palin clearly did not plagiarize Newt Gingrich. That's not plagiarizing. This classic is a proper example of plagiarizing:

NEIL KINNOCK at Welsh Labour Party conference May 1987:

"Why am I the first Kinnock in a thousand generations to be able to get to university? Was it because our predecessors were thick? Does anybody really think that they didn't get what we had because they didn't have the talent or the strength or the endurance or the commitment? Of course not. It was because there was no platform upon which they could stand"

JOE BIDEN IN Sept 1987 during his first presidential campaign:

"Why is it that Joe Biden is the first in his family ever to go a university? Why is it that my wife... is the first in her family to ever go to college? Is it because our fathers and mothers were not bright? ...Is it because they didn't work hard? My ancestors who worked in the coal mines of northeast Pennsylvania and would come after 12 hours and play football for four hours? It's because they didn't have a platform on which to stand."

Dunn is guilty of the same "screwing" of intellectual integrity he falsely charges Sarah Palin with. He and the rest of the Palin-haters have become completely unhinged in their ridiculous and hypocritical attacks.
