1. EarlG Rand is not a plagiarist

He just has a problem with footnotes.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1014638721

“The footnote police have really been dogging me for the last week. I will admit
that. And I will admit, sometimes we haven’t footnoted things properly,” Paul told
ABC’s George Stephanopoulos on “This Week.”

9. Who's "we" white man?

[Botany]

34. we = some guys who might have done something wrong but ....

..... and it or might have something to do w/Rand Paul who as
you know must have been taken out of context.

BTW Grammar point 101 you do not use footnotes in a speech you
attribute the quote to the source .... attribution is done when you are
speaking and footnotes are used when you are writing.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

35. "footnotes are used when you are writing."

Unless he's like Palin only instead of writing notes on his hand he uses his feet.

[Botany]

36. Paul is not like Palin in the fact he is not bone ass stupid

He got his M.D. from Duke .... he is smart I'll give him that but
I would like to look @ what he did during his days @ college and
Med School.

This scandal would put an an end to his career if we had an honest media.

But Paul is smart enough not to try to debate Rachel Maddow on her show.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

38. Rand got where he is by being Ron's son.

[Bortman33]

42. An MD does not innoculate

you from Stupid!

For Gods sake, he challenged a woman to a duel. How stupid is that.

Rachel Maddow should challenge Rand "Ayn" Paul to a paintball duel and a debate. He would then have to win the duel and then try to defend his horrific Randian philosophy and childish economic policies. I'd make Rachel a 6 to 5 favorite on the duel and a 100 to 1 on the debate.

If Rand "Ayn" Paul’s failure to accept this challenge doesn't destroy his political career, getting his ass kicked twice by Rachel most certainly would.

Let's take it to him. No disicple of Ayn Rand is very smart no matter what letterts he has hanging around his neck.

[AtheistCrusader]

2. Sounds like his dear old dad, who didn't 'review his newsletter' going out under his own name

rife with far right racist bullshit.

[TBF]

31. It's so hard to get good help these days.

[AtheistCrusader]

32. One of these days, I'm going to buy a waterproof keyboard.

And send people like you the bill

[Initech]

3. Rand Paul is not a plagarist!

He may be a liar, an idiot, a plagarist, but he is not a porn star!

[Initech]

8. I stole that line from Grandpa Simpson.

[MADem]

12. A proud member of the Squirrel Club for Men, perhaps? nt

[MADem]

20. He wears a SQUIRREL....on his HEAD! nt

[japple]

28. Jon Stewart questioned the hair Rand Paul was wearing, too.

I don't know what they call it in Kentucky, but, in Georgia, we would call it a varmint!

[stage left]

22. Agreed

Not only more intelligent, but cuter. Squirrels are hurt that people compare Rand's hair to their cute little pelts. They suggest comparing it to one of those sixties wig hats. They also object to us calling Ditsy people squirrelly and suggest we call them Pauly or...no not going to go there.

[klook]

5. Pledges to copy only from Conservapedia in the future (n/t)

[stage left]

25. LOL

[William769]

6. Kick & recommended.

[DJ13]

7. If he was a Democrat the MSM would be trying to force him into resigning

[pinto]

19. LOL. Very likely.

Although, in the interest of fairness, I've seen it discussed on cable channels. Yet, mainly just in passing and framed around his responses for the most part.

[navarth]

11. Gattaca's a good movie, at least he brought attention to it.

Even if he is a dishonest fucktard....

[rurallib]

13. oddly, he hasn't directly ripped off Ayn Rand

maybe she is beneath his standards?

[gopiscrap]

14. that needs to go viral, specially in Kentucky

[louis-t]

15. There he is folks, the laziest man alive.

[Snake Plissken]

16. So has Percy from The Green Mile resigned yet?

[stage left]

23. Laughed out loud at this one.

[JoePhilly]

26. So now he's plagiarizing from Zell Miller?

[avaistheone1]

27. BUSTED!!

[Bolo Boffin]

29. Instant classic. n/t

[SoapBox]

30. ...such a stupid fuck.

[randr]

33. His entire college record should be reviewed

He is a charlatan who should shown the light of day and the door.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

37. Don't see this harming Rand Paul at all.

From December 2004 this book came out. "The Cheating Culture: Why More Americans Are Doing Wrong to Get Ahead"

http://www.amazon.com/The-Cheating-Culture-Americans-Doing/dp/0156030055/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1383607597&sr=8-2&keywords=Cheating+Nation

Even his desire for a duel with Rachel Maddow has real appeal to those he speaks for.

[Bortman33]

41. It's a win win for Rachel

Rachel Maddow should challenge Rand "Ayn" Paul to a paintball duel and a debate. He would then have to win the duel and then try to defend his horrific Randian philosophy and childish economic policies. I'd make Rachel a 6 to 5 favorite on the duel and a 100 to 1 on the debate.

If Rand "Ayn" Paul’s failure to accept this challenge doesn't destroy his political career, getting his ass kicked twice by Rachel most certainly would.

[cui bono]

44. She'd kick his ass in both. Handily.

Welcome to DU!

[Bortman33]

39. The Match is on,

Rachel Maddow should challenge Rand "Ayn" Paul to a paintball duel and a debate. He would then have to win the duel and then try to defend his horrific Randian philosophy and childish economic policies. I'd make Rachel a 6 to 5 favorite on the duel and a 100 to 1 on the debate.

Unfortunately he would never show, because as Arnold Schwarzenegger would say, he’s too much of a “girly man” to ever accept Rachel’s challenge. If Rand "Ayn" Paul’s failure to accept this challenge doesn't destroy his political career, getting his ass kicked twice by Rachel most certainly would.

Go Rachel “Billy Jean” Maddow!

[Initech]

40. Why hasn't anyone asked why a fucking elected senator is speaking at a religious school?

What happened to separation of church and state?

[Journeyman]

45. Why wouldn't he? . . .

"I do not think that concept means what you think it means."

This fella, while President, gave the 2009 commencement address at the University of Notre Dame, a Catholic university located in Indiana.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

43. Biden was hounded 20+ years for one instance

Rand does it on a daily basis, but the baggers will be fine with that, because at least he aint to lib'rul!

It would be nice if the media would quit treating him as if he's some intellectual thinker of the right and see him for what he is - a pampered son of privilege who thinks reading Atlas Shrugged back in college made him smart.

[lonestarnot]

47. That thing on his head sucked out his brain. He can no longer think of two words to rub together on

his own.

[George II]

48. Joe Biden might have been President years ago if he hadn't....

....been "caught" plagiarizing a single sentence in one speech, even though he provided the attribution in many other speeches which used the same quote.

This is a hundred times worse and a hundred times MORE serious than Biden's single flub.

I want to write a tweet about Rand Paul but I'm afraid he'll plagiarize it.
