Scott Brown lifted childhood memories from Elizabeth Dole

The home state of Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) may contain the country’s largest population of college students, but Brown appears to have committed one of academia’s cardinal sins: plagiarism.

American Bridge 21st Century, a Super PAC associated with liberal causes, discovered that Brown’s website contained chunks of text taken verbatim from a campaign speech for Elizabeth Dole’s 2002 North Carolina Senate run, the transcript of which was posted to her website.

In a message to students on his site, which has since been removed, Brown borrowed from Dole’s childhood memories, omitting only one line: “I am Mary and John Hanford’s daughter.”


“I was raised to believe that there are no limits to individual achievement and no excuses to justify indifference,” the message reads. “From an early age, I was taught that success is measured not in material accumulations, but in service to others. I was encouraged to join causes larger than myself, to pursue positive change through a sense of mission, and to stand up for what I believe.”
