Just a coincidence?

Consider this. Yesterday O'Reilly starts a shitstorm by using the term "wetback" when describing illegal Mexican immigrants. Today, Glenn Reynolds makes a post about some New York politician making racist remarks. Today, much of the rest of the world is talking about the plagiarism in the British MI6 report on Sadaam Hussein. Today, Glenn Reynolds makes a post about gun control groups being accused of plagiarizing an AP report. Is this a subtle form of "you guys do it to" so shut up? You decide.
