I have to agree with you susanr516 Jun 2019 #92

If only it WERE Sanders. Biden's done FAR more for all Hortensis Jun 2019 #133

So where IS the Green New Deal that's been "long used"? Using a term of art & pushing for the actual InAbLuEsTaTe Jun 2019 #137

Where IS it? It's WHERE the vote went, wherever that is. Hortensis Jun 2019 #143

When did this become a discussion about BS? George II Jun 2019 #135

You're ABSOLUTELY right... my bad!! This shouldn't become a discussion about Bernie... InAbLuEsTaTe Jun 2019 #147

Hmmmm indeed. Thank goodness it's not 1988. progressoid Jun 2019 #139

Another action that shows he hasn't learned. Lordquinton Jun 2019 #154

Weird--eh? zentrum Jun 2019 #49

LOL. How right you are. zentrum Jun 2019 #146

Sadly, yes. InAbLuEsTaTe Jun 2019 #148

Statement from BlueGreen Alliance.. Cha Jun 2019 #98

So it's "much ado about nothing" except for supporters of other candidates. Thanks for that tweet! George II Jun 2019 #134

An error that was quickly corrected peggysue2 Jun 2019 #4

Are you implying that this is "bashing" / "assasination" / "a hit job"? brooklynite Jun 2019 #7

I'm saying straight out this is much to do about nothing peggysue2 Jun 2019 #24

This words show up here regularly when someone doesn't like a story about their candidate... brooklynite Jun 2019 #32

I repeat: peggysue2 Jun 2019 #42

If this was Bernie's campaign that did this, we'd never hear the end of it. InAbLuEsTaTe Jun 2019 #61

Apparently Eko Jun 2019 #72

Or from Bernie supporters trying to make it all about them sweetloukillbot Jun 2019 #113

Absolutely yes...and considering that in my opinion no other candidate can beat Trump ...a form Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #117

It's not at all like alleging Biden's roll-out was shaky. LanternWaste Jun 2019 #121

Unfortunately, there's a lot. It can't be posted though. Do some research. mobeau69 Jun 2019 #11

Again zipplewrath Jun 2019 #78

People make mistakes and I have no problem with that. Campaigns are not.... EarnestPutz Jun 2019 #6

Few people make the same high profile mistake twice wellst0nev0ter Jun 2019 #48

Not this bad movie again! Just what I've been afraid of. mobeau69 Jun 2019 #8

Almost as bad a pneumonia. LanternWaste Jun 2019 #122

What is the issue??? they left out some citations but was updated.. Peacetrain Jun 2019 #10

At best it's sloppy work and indicative of poor management at the top. mobeau69 Jun 2019 #13

I am from Iowa... what is the Iowa State Fair Fiasco?? Peacetrain Jun 2019 #16

Can't be posted here. Research it if you really want to know. mobeau69 Jun 2019 #18

Why can't you post it here? cwydro Jun 2019 #114

I just googled Joe Biden + Iowa State Fair. Found an article CentralMass Jun 2019 #129

I have done big reports like that. It can be tough getting all notes on sources right. Blue_true Jun 2019 #104

No one is without baggage. honest.abe Jun 2019 #116

The "issue" is for those Cha Jun 2019 #28

Exactly. Like the pukes. mobeau69 Jun 2019 #41

Exactly like Bernie has been treated... I can appreciate your outrage. InAbLuEsTaTe Jun 2019 #64

No sense of irony. Hassin Bin Sober Jun 2019 #93

None at all... and it will only get worse as Bernie continues to gain in the polls. InAbLuEsTaTe Jun 2019 #99

Bernie Joediss Jun 2019 #130

Cough, cough, the polls are going the other way. George II Jun 2019 #138

Yep. (nt) ehrnst Jun 2019 #142

You mean these polls? ehrnst Jun 2019 #140

its a big nothing burger.. Peacetrain Jun 2019 #44

A big "nothing burger" that some Cha Jun 2019 #81

fake news (Murdoch) is Iliyah Jun 2019 #63

That's funny, Iliyah! Cha Jun 2019 #82

Leaving out a citation is fine if the language is in quotes. The absence of both looks more JudyM Jun 2019 #159

Amateurish campaign errors are better done early RedParrot Jun 2019 #12

But Joe and his campaign supposedly have all the experience that others, like Pete, lack! mobeau69 Jun 2019 #20

Pete has run a flawless campaign, as far as I can tell and that's sayin something InAbLuEsTaTe Jun 2019 #66

I wouldn't call it "flawless". I would call it lucky. RLG Jun 2019 #75

Lucky?! hahaha... riiight!! Mayor Pete has run a great campaign based on hard work InAbLuEsTaTe Jun 2019 #77

No, it's luck because of the demise of one candidate. RLG Jun 2019 #83

Have no idea who or what you're talking about, sorry... I know Mayor Pete is third InAbLuEsTaTe Jun 2019 #84

And if he was not in the race, who would be your third candidate? RLG Jun 2019 #86

I don't see how askin that question answers my question about what you meant by your last response. InAbLuEsTaTe Jun 2019 #103

OK, how can it be a "flawless" campaign without African American support? RLG Jun 2019 #108

His campaign execution is flawless, his career is not. marylandblue Jun 2019 #118

Unfortunate coincidence it's Biden Otto Lidenbrock Jun 2019 #14

It's not about the policy but nice try. nt mobeau69 Jun 2019 #17

Looks like media pile on over a questionable charge to me. ancianita Jun 2019 #15

Wow, just wow. demmiblue Jun 2019 #39

Also, copyright policy for literature says non copyrighted public domain information is fair game. Blue_true Jun 2019 #106

I get it. Money. Giving proper credit where credit is due shouldn't be hard. ancianita Jun 2019 #120

I get your frustration. Blue_true Jun 2019 #156

I know I sound like a broken record on this, but Inslee truly has a way out of this for us. ancianita Jun 2019 #157

btw some people are saying he lifted it from beto Otto Lidenbrock Jun 2019 #19

"Some people are saying..." puh-lease, that's a right wing talking point. Want to keep up divisive ancianita Jun 2019 #52

UPDATE FROM ONE OF THE GROUPS Otto Lidenbrock Jun 2019 #21

Says it all. They were proposing, and Biden is promising. There's no harm and no foul. marble falls Jun 2019 #23

Using their work is not the issue. Proper citation is. nt mobeau69 Jun 2019 #29

Which was corrected tout suite and with what seems to me to be a sincere apology. marble falls Jun 2019 #31

Try that excuse on a high school, let alone college, research paper and see what it'll get you. mobeau69 Jun 2019 #38

but this wasn't a school research paper where the student is being graded on doing the work themselv JI7 Jun 2019 #58

The work should still be cited. mobeau69 Jun 2019 #62

No it didn't qazplm135 Jun 2019 #65

Which, if I understand it correctly from the bio I watched on Biden Sugarcoated Jun 2019 #91

This isn't the red-meat you wish it to be. LanternWaste Jun 2019 #124

Try harder. MrsCoffee Jun 2019 #131

Good thing this isn't high school or college. marble falls Jun 2019 #73

Thanks! Scurrilous Jun 2019 #33

Jebus. Is it an impeachable offence? marble falls Jun 2019 #22

No, but it's a mark of sloppiness wellst0nev0ter Jun 2019 #50

One might also think he didn't personally write the copy to campaign literature. marble falls Jun 2019 #74

He likely never read it before it was posted either. greatauntoftriplets Jun 2019 #80

I would bet on that. marble falls Jun 2019 #119

Biden should Prosper Jun 2019 #111

It's a good plan and Biden will work with many groups... SouthernProgressive Jun 2019 #25

Opps! Forgot the footnotes. nt OhZone Jun 2019 #26

Oh-oh. But it's early, and I'm sure staffers wrote that plan up. Honeycombe8 Jun 2019 #27

I don't see this as a major gaffe and, yes, will likely fade away... InAbLuEsTaTe Jun 2019 #70

meh 4now Jun 2019 #30

A little perspective here. Mr.Bill Jun 2019 #34

If the stuff supposedly plagiarized are good for climate and citations were added, no big deal. Hoyt Jun 2019 #35

Yup jberryhill Jun 2019 #37

LOL. Melania should've tried that incorrect definition! mobeau69 Jun 2019 #46

A speech is generally expected to be an original work of authorship jberryhill Jun 2019 #67

Well, he was accused of plagarizing a speech as well. progressoid Jun 2019 #141

This may come as a shock to you jberryhill Jun 2019 #145

Indeed, the Kinnock speech has nothing to do with this particular episode. progressoid Jun 2019 #151

Yes and he was rightly criticized for that jberryhill Jun 2019 #152

Uh, a good plan is a good plan jberryhill Jun 2019 #36

Here we go again. Butterflylady Jun 2019 #40

If true I don't get how this stuff happens. You'd think these writer/researchers... brush Jun 2019 #43

And plagiarism apps. mobeau69 Jun 2019 #54

It may not be a crime wellst0nev0ter Jun 2019 #51

Having done it before, you'd think he'd make it clear to his team that it's unacceptable. WhiskeyGrinder Jun 2019 #53

Wait? What? Biden isn't publishing his own climate studies? dem4decades Jun 2019 #56

I'll bet he doesn't even have his own laboratory or a degree in climate science either! jberryhill Jun 2019 #68

It may be a big nothing burger, but when you have previously dropped out of a vsrazdem Jun 2019 #59

My point exactly... though it's not a fatal blow, it certainly doesn't bode well InAbLuEsTaTe Jun 2019 #79

Meh. It was corrected. Get it out in the open and own the mistake. Freethinker65 Jun 2019 #60

Someone on his staff should have caught this. honest.abe Jun 2019 #69

Strange how that happens isn't it?????? peggysue2 Jun 2019 #101

Thank for posting this MustLoveBeagles Jun 2019 #96

Um, what about this? RLG Jun 2019 #76

Serious question here - is the person or persons who are responsible for the original work bullwinkle428 Jun 2019 #85

See post #71 peggysue2 Jun 2019 #95

No, they are not. In fact they seem pleased their proposals are being used. honest.abe Jun 2019 #112

A nothingburger, IMO. Blue_true Jun 2019 #100

Old habits die hard. Next time Joe copies someone else's stuff, mtnsnake Jun 2019 #125

The issue isnt copying, its not providing the proper credit or citation for the content. honest.abe Jun 2019 #132

They went to press with that the same day he released it? ucrdem Jun 2019 #144
