Plagiarism: Wait a second....

[FlyingTiger]

So, let me get this straight. The candidate who, over the past couple months, has given us such creative and unique slogans as "Yes She Can," "GoMama," and "We're Fired Up and Ready To Go... uh... Too" is now trying to push the idea that Obama plagiarized a few lines in a speech as a scandal of Biblical proportions?

Pardon me whilst I guffaw.

[goldcanyonaz]

1. Coming from the campaign who stole "Yes We Can" from Bob the Builder? Uh huh...

[rug]

2. lol

[FlyingTiger]

3. Try again.

This time, go for addressing the actual post, instead of responding with, "But the kettle is REALLY black, damnit!"

5. Sweetie, what Hilary is doing is a play on words...what BO has done

is lifted a few sentences from a friend's speech...I guess any slight criticism of your idol is too much, huh.

[FlyingTiger]

14. Is that like lifting "change" as soon as the Iowa results were in?

It's so hard to tell what counts - kind of like which states do, actually.

7. lol... If people ever come out of their their Hopium stupor, they will

see that he is all Fluff and No Stuff


Deval Patrick sold the same bill of goods to his state


Obviously people have caught on to the BS in Massachusetts and that's why

they didn't fall for it again from Obama.

16. So, Mutley, I mean, durrty,

Your state is voting Republican this year? OK, fine.

Get over yourself, would you?

[durrrty libby]

20. No, I'm not inhaling the Hopium. Does it make you drool 24/7?

4. I second that guffaw.

And add a "Yuk, yuk".

[UALRBSofL]

6. I don't think Hillary has been plagiarizing

Because all she talks about is the issues and such. She hasn't quite grasped an inspirational speech yet. I think she needs to try a change-up in her speech style and give it a more personal feel to it. JMO.

8. Nominated.

Thank you.

[Thrill]

9. Its all they have. Its weak

[Tatiana]

12. And lame.

It's so lame that it just reeks of desperation.

At this point they are just throwing up $hit and hope that with sheer quantity, something will stick.

Hey, don't forget, he flip-flopped on the public financing!!!!!!

:eyes:

10. Recommended.

11. It IS plagiarism... what you make of that is up to you

and the voters...

I just know they crucified Biden over this in '92.

I saw the MSNBC it's not too important story to which my response is: yes it is.


Why? It gets to the heart of the biggest problems I have with Obama: style over substance and authenticity.

[FlyingTiger]

13. Authenticity?

Do tell where Obama seems to be "unauthentic."

[JCMach1]

15. Packaged, contrived, etc.

[FlyingTiger]

21. Wait, wait, wait....

....you're trying to tell me that Obama seems MORE "packaged" than Hillary does?

What next? He's more of a woman, too?

[pointsoflight]

26. Yeah, because if you share a message of hope and change...

...with someone else, you can't possibly be authentic and actually have the same belief system as that other person.

[ShortnFiery]

17. Us older Duers know this is BUNK. Ask Joe Biden about "plagarism" and "witch hunts?"

It's well past time for these bitter people to allow the rest of us to "turn the page." :thumbsdown:

[BlueStater]

18. So because Hillary did it that makes it okay for him to do it

Nice use of Bushonian logic there.

[scheming daemons]

19. No... but it means her campaign is exhibiting hypocrisy to bring it up...

...Hillary has no standing in making charges of plagiarism.

[Unbowed]

22. At least Obama got permission from his FRIEND and SUPPORTER to use his words.

We all know they use speech writers. What's the difference if the person making the suggestion is another politician who has used them before? Patrick endorsed Obama and they are friends. He suggested Obama use points he had to make in his own campaign (both were accused of being good orators - how terrible).

[pointsoflight]

23. Friend, supporter, and NATIONAL CAMPAIGN MANAGER

[Unbowed]

27. Exactly!

[usregimechange]
