Uh Oh, Melania's speech was plagiarized

[Lakhota]

You tell 'em, Melania!

 

[sealybobo]

Much of it was taken from Mrs. Obama's 2008 speech. 22 out of 26 words directly lifted.

Why does it matter you ask?

Speechgate is important because of two things it tells us about what sort of president Donald Trump would be, and what important mistakes he would make for the same reasons his campaign made this trivial mistake:

1. Trump lacks much of the knowledge and experience that we would usually expect in a president. Because of this, Trump is supposed to hire "the best people" to advise and support him. Yet his campaign couldn't even prevent a boneheaded screw-up like this. What would the idiots he hires to staff his presidential administration screw up?

2. The Trumps are apparently so full of it that Melania, or whoever wrote Melania's speech, needed to steal totally anodyne language about how hard work is good and we should teach our children that. They couldn't even put those sentiments in their own words! Then, once people noticed the theft, the campaign's strategy has been to make the obviously false claim that there was no plagiarism, that these are just "common phrases." This tells us that, as president, Trump won't just lie — he'll lie unconvincingly, to anyone, about anything, for any reason or no reason. How will that work out in negotiations with Congress and foreign governments?

If you're too inept to run a presidential campaign, you're too inept to run a country. That's why Speechgate matters.

The speech was pretty fucking generic.

One step up from a Miss America pageant speech. It was a typical First Lady speech. Does anyone actually expect it to be original? No.

This simply makes liberals look like fucking assholes by attacking a prospective First Lady.

Looks like what you were hoping for was a no lose situation. If she kills it you brag. If she blows it, and she did, you pull this shit.

Same way you wanted to use Mitt Romney's wife as a positive but she's no positive. None of these stepford wives is going to ever be anything. But Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton can make something of themselves. See, this is what is wrong with Republican women. The best thing they are and the best thing they will ever be is some assholes wife. Melania is a great piece of ass I will give her that. She's nice to look at. Not enough to win me over. If she won you over then you were already won over.

Really? Who is reporting this? USMB doesn't count.

CNN...

And yet lying Laky doesn't add a link to that CNN article....

Turn to CNN. It's been flashing across the bottom of Wolf Blitzer's screen.

Some people have this thing called a job Laky. They don't get to live off of the government and watch CNN all day. So add a link to the story. I just went on CNN's site and I could find a quote from Trump stating he was "furious" (but it is possible I missed it).

He's apparently so furious he issued a statement stating he has "no plans to fire anyone over t he speech".

No it wasn't. You're lying!

Bwahahaha.......Trump promises to keep America safe and he can't even keep his own wife safe from the sleazy speech writers that didn't bother to check that copying from Michelle Obama's speech would quickly be detected. Malania said she wrote most of it on her own....so either she googled and wasn't smart enough to know who Michelle Obama was, or she is lying. And, no, it's no lie....Republicans in high offices have already acknowledged it and Trump is mad over it.

RNC 2016, day one: Melania Trump 'plagiarizes' Michelle Obama's 2008 speech – as it happened

 

[NYcarbineer]

I also noticed that she wore white,

code to the Right that Trump remains the white people's candidate.

 

[deltex1]

A fag outed Melania....who else would recall a speech made by Mooochelle?

 

[NYcarbineer]

Maybe the funniest part about this is that we are making the RWnuts defend one of theirs against the kind of attacks THEY make every day (only worse).

LOL. What the heck does that even mean? 22 of 26 words? Did you watch the speech? It was a tad longer than 26 words. Good Lord you Liberals are hilarious.

It means that the person is dishonest, that's what it means. If you use someone else's words you are supposed to give them credit.
It is stealing, and stealing is also a sin....something conservatives are so quick to point out.

Just goes to show....Trump criticizes the Obama's but he sure don't mind taking their words and taking credit for them.

If it had been Michelle stealing Melania's words, I'm sure the FBI would already have a document from the Republicans in Congress to investigate and punish for plagiarism.

Who would he fire - Melania...? She said she wrote the speech.

Amazing how, on one hand "no she didn't" but then right away --- "ulp --- yabbut this guy did the same thing"

Aieeee! Quick, change the subject!

I guess what the poster's saying here is that .---- it only counts when it's black-on-black plagiarism?

6 Consequences of Plagiarism

The legal repercussions of plagiarism can be quite serious. Copyright laws are absolute. One cannot use another person’s material without citation and reference. An author has the right to sue a plagiarist. Some plagiarism may also be deemed a criminal offense, possibly leading to a prison sentence. Those who write for a living, such as journalists or authors, are particularly susceptible to plagiarism issues. Those who write frequently must be ever-vigilant not to err. Writers are well-aware of copyright laws and ways to avoid plagiarism. As a professional writer, to plagiarize is a serious ethical and perhaps legal issue.

Will Donald be faithful to Melania until she gets out of prison? Is there a special prison for dumb models?

The oozing spittle ladened with rotted curds of tofu from between the filthy teeth of the average fugly liberoidal is evident in this thread. They're really flaming down.. LMAO

Seriously....the election for the president of the United States should be near meaningless. The federal government only has 18 enumerated powers and most of that lies with Congress (and most of those 18 are related to the military anyway). The presidential election should make people yawn.

Right. The presidential election should be more about who can be the strongest leader who can bring people together. Instead we've got two children throwing insults over which pokemon character is the best.

Agreed, but Trump and his followers don't care about issues! It's all about bluster, using the words "huge" and "big" rather than talking about the economy, jobs, education, and foreign affairs! Trump wants to talk about his polls, how stupid the MSM was to doubt him winning, and exaggerating his "worth!" If he's so damn rich, why do banks keep having to lend him money to pay his bills?

Republicans are not interested in substance, just tits and butts......how typical. She is beautiful, but highly intelligent? Bwahaha.

We know she can't put a thought together on her own now.....that's how come conservatives are considered so ignorant, they can't recognize intelligence....they see a nice butt and they think the woman's brains are down there!
