wow.  the plagiarism flood is getting worse by the minute.  good thing $kinner only allows his minions 3 threads per day in the primary forum.   :whatever:  maybe he should limit the number of threads about any particular topic, regardless of the author?
he may as well;  the obvious goal was to make their lives more comfortable and their jobs easier, even at the expense of their dues paying members ability to express themselves.

You seem knowledgable on the subject - what's the big deal about this at the DUmp?  It doesn't seem to be such huge news elsewhere.

I don't think it's small;  they spent 10 or 15 minutes on it on joe scarborough's show on PMSNBC this morning. 
The BarackStar! said he lifted the lines intentionally with full knowledge of duval patrick, so it isn't plagiarism. 
but considering most of the catch phrases and applause lines from his speeches seem to have mysteriously come
from some other place and someone else (I have posted threads about this), I think it's pretty significant.

and the hillary critters are latching onto it over on DU because, well, when you are drowning, you will latch onto anything.

this story has something of a history of sticking to people.  plagiarism killed joe biden's presidential campaign 20 years ago, and it has been either alleged or established to have been committed by such liberal luminaries as jesse jackson and MLK.

You'd think that Barry would know better than to take political cues from Joe Biden.
