Breitbart ^ | 2/18/2007

Posted on 02/18/2008 8:30:01 AM PST by Deek1969

Senator Barack Obama adapted one of his signature arguments — that his oratory amounts to more than inspiring words — from speeches given by Gov. Deval Patrick of Massachusetts during his 2006 campaign.

It won’t matter to his cult following. They will still fawn, cry and faint at the sight or sound of him. For those on the left so quick to label others as mind numb robots, well, you should not throw stones at glass houses....

So what? It was not a thesis or a white paper outlining his positions—it was just a campaign speech. This is just the pathetic Clinton machine grasping at any straw to dent Obama’s momentum. If Hillary can’t even manage a campaign organization, how can she expect to be able to run the US Government.

Hey guys, not so fast. The plagarism charge is coming from the Hilliary camp. You always believe them?

It’s not plagiarism - it’s the linguistic redistribution of wealth.

WoW. What a total non issue being promoted on Drudge on the even of an election. Wonder why Drudge is doing this.

Laura Ingraham played both sound bites today side by side. It was word for word verbatim. Maybe you should wonder how many others ha may have lifted....

Empty, vacuous politicians stealing empty, vacuous words from each other.

Bottom line is this: Obama and Patrick stole their political ideology from Karl Marx.

Neither one of the empty suits (Patrick or Obama) could ever come up with anything inspiring. They likely have the same speech writer who was doing some recycling.

Oh, please. Pointing out that Hillary is desperately trying to eliminate Obama is hardly being on his side. Give it a rest.

“Bottom line is this: Obama and Patrick stole their political ideology from Karl Marx.”

Here on the West coast a local community hired an artist to make a staue of dolphins. An artist from another town sued the artist for copying his statue of dolphins. The Judge declared that all dolphin statues look alike, and dismissed the suit.
You’re right. All leftist sound alike.

Exactly. They're so desperate, they'll probably spread a rumor that Obama once used a urinal and didn't wash his hands.

Hillary’s campaign is considering suing Obama for plagiarism. Egged on by McCain’s economic advisor, Kevin Hassett’s contention that Obama’s economic plan “is the most shameless piece of plagiarism that I have ever seen,” Clinton’s brain-trust is reportedly weighing the option of filing a lawsuit.

“Everything in Senator Obama’s platform can be traced back to one or more of Senator Clinton’s ‘million ideas’ for America,” said Susan Lutes, attorney for the Clinton campaign. “Senator Clinton has staked out a comprehensive claim to every nuance of the nanny-state. There isn’t anything Obama can promise that she hasn’t already promised.”

Lutes threatened that “if Obama doesn’t immediately cease and desist the damages could run into the trillions of dollars.”

Duval Partrick is not acusing Obama of lifting his words. He has endorsed Obama and they merely shared the rhetoric that works.

Of course, its all contrived. What’s new?
