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.
