"Red America" launched on March 21, 2006, but Domenech resigned three days later after having written only six posts, after his fellow bloggers posted evidence online that Domenech had plagiarized the work of other journalists from "The Washington Post", "The New Yorker", "National Review", the humorist P. J. O'Rourke, the film critic Stephanie Zacharek, the writer, Mary Elizabeth Williams, and that of several other publications and writers. O'Rourke denied Domenech's claim that the humorist had granted permission to use his words: "I wouldn't want to swear in a court of law that I never met the guy", O'Rourke told "The New York Times", "but I didn't give him permission to use my words under his byline, no." Editors for Domenech's college newspaper, "The Flat Hat", denied allegations by Domenech that one instance of plagiarism resulted from his editors having "inserted a passage from "The New Yorker" in an article without his knowledge," saying that "Mr. Domenech's actions, if true, deeply offensive." In another instance, Domenech has plagiarized from a front-page article in "The Washington Post", the very newspaper he was now going to work for. On March 24, 2006, the editors of "The National Review" confirmed on its blog "The Corner" that Domenech appeared to have plagiarized for at least one article he had written for that publication.
