Social media explodes with more Trump plagiarism allegations
The Los Angeles Times ^ | 7/19/2016 | Javier Panzar

Posted on 07/19/2016 10:11:33 PM PDT by NYRepublican72

Another day, another speech by a member of the Trump family — and another round of plagiarism charges coursing through social media.

The Daily Show's Twitter account seemed to pounce first when it pointed out lines from Donald Trump Jr.'s speech that seemed to be identical to words first used in a May article by F.H. Buckley in The American Conservative called "Trump vs. the New Class."

I thought that if you’re quoting yourself it has to be cited, if it’s something that would normally require that a source be given.

I don’t click on the LA Times. But if someone does, load Ublock Origin (an ad blocker) and make sure it is active with browsing LA Times pages. That blocks their ad revenue but still uses their bandwith. ;-)

This one was definitely not. Buckley wrote the article, and Buckley was involved in writing Trump’s speech. No cigar on this one, liberals.

LA Times... Release the Obama-Khalidi video and then we'll talk. Until then, you have nothing to say about a Presidential election that I will listen to.

They overplayed the plagiarism card on Day 1 with that tripe about Melania. But the leftist eggheads are unhinged.

——————————————————————————————Whether Melania happened to say a few of the same words that Moochie said, please let her NOT ever use even a few threads of Moochie’s horrible fashion sense.

All the Republicans have to say is that there was no intent.

If PIAPS can avoid prosecution for a felony by claiming she didn’t intend to break the law then Melania Trump should face no scrutiny

SO LETS GET THIS STRAIGHT -

Obamas White Hut, John Kerry, and Hillary Clintons interference, policies and or conscious lack of policy, have resulted in the HORRIFIC TORTURE and DEATHS and imprisonment of untold thousands of people in Iraq, Libya, Egypt, Nigeria, Syria (up to 400,000), Lebanon, and Ukraine. And who knows what they have set up behind the scenes with Russia, China, and Turkey.

- They have literally guaranteed a future of more torture and death and persecution for years to come in all of these places.

- They have explicitly lied and then supported the leading sponsor of terrorism in the world (Iran) in its quest for nuclear weapons, as well as unlocking nearly $200 Billion dollars for Iran, which had been locked up by Congressional Resolution.

- They have worked for eight years to motivate and bring in many millions of illegal’s from our southern border, and are now signing them up for welfare, at the cost of many billions of tax payer dollars, and against a federal judges ruling.

- Are co-conspirators in nearly doubling our “official” national debt, to nearly $20 Trillion dollars. In reality, real debt and unfunded liabilities are factors worse, and we will soon not be able to pay the interest on the same debt, in part because of their policies.

- They have agreed to give up 20% of our strategic uranium supply to the Russians through a mining scheme.

- They have sought and co-conspired with most of the establishment media and press to repeatedly and publicly fuel and legitimize militant racism throughout black society across America, causing the deaths of many police officers, and in more deaths of blacks and all races.

- They have labored to rewrite every Islamic terrorist attack in America as something else, while spending billions of tax payer dollars to bring in many thousands of middle eastern refugees, and then forcing the states to take them in compliance.

- Pushed Europe to take many millions of Muslim refugees, which is killing them literally, and helping to destroy cultures and banks alike.

- Used the IRS to literally attack conservative organizations across America, then covered it up and acted like it never happened.

- Temporarily put the Muslim Brotherhood in charge of Egypt resulting in further persecution and deaths of many more people in Egypt including Christians, apparently in part as an effort to damage or eliminate the peace treaty between Egypt and Israel, as a way to hurt Israel.

- Tried to topple the conservative and pro-American government in Israel.

- Routinely gone around and outright broken the supreme laws of our land in the US Constitution, Federal Judges rulings, and by side-stepping congress in hundreds of instances.

- Repeatedly lied and compelled others to lie under oath about multiple legal violations of law with: IRS - SAP - Tzars - Fast & Furious - Benghazi - Seal Team 6, Iran etc...

- Worked to demoralize. sodomize, and neutralize the US Armed Forces

- Set free many who have actually killed civilian and American service members, knowing many had already and were likely to attack civilian and US personnel again.

And there is a whole lot more!

And the hyper stupid militant humanist socialtards in the national media and press corp are upset because of possible “plagiarism”???

** HAS “Michelle Obama” EVER COINED A PHRASE ?!?!? **

If not, Michelle Obama plagiarized!

Was not Obamas 2006 book itself even written by him???

I have heard “What difference does it make” so many times during this convention!

Oh wait, that phrase has been around for a century or more...

Hillary Plagiarized!!!

GOOD GREIF!

I am tired, and my English isn’t working well right now, but this stuff is total stupid!

After all the anarchy, chaos, and destruction this administration labored to cause, and the media is focused on plagiarism?

It’s a common phrase. Last week I said: What should be an elevator to the upper class is stalled on the ground floor.

My neighbor then took the stairs.

These bogus plagiarism charges are just the media's way to run interference for Shrillary. They'd rather talk about this around the clock than make any mention of the speeches highlighting Shrillary's involvement in Benghazi, email servers, FBI investigations, etc.

The next time the Shrill One says, "If bringing up women's issues .. blah, blah, blah .. is playing the gender card, then deal me in", I wonder if social media will be aghast at her blatant plagiarism?! /s

It makes sense in an academic setting, you should cite all sources, even your own work. That way readers can understand where information comes from and go to the source if they want/need too.

It this context, it’s preposterous.

Trump must be laughing. Continues to live rent-free in their heads

I especially love this mini-wall a performance artist built around DJT's star on the walk-of-fame

Barack Obama, 2008. Hillary Clinton 2008 campaign spokesman Howard Wolfson said President Barack Obama had "lifted rhetoric" from Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick. "If your whole candidacy is about words, then they should be your own words," then-Sen. Clinton said about Obama at the time. "That's what I think." Obama admitted that he used some of Deval's words at a Jefferson-Jackson dinner in Wisconsin.

"Deval and I do trade ideas all the time, and you know he's occasionally used lines of mine," Obama said. "I would add I've noticed on occasion Sen. Clinton has used words of mine as well," Obama added. "As I said before, I really don't think this is too big of a deal."

Here is an idea.

Tape Shrillary’s speech.

Then run it side by side with words taken from anyone whoever ran for office.

There’s not a completely original concept given in any speech by anyone who is either running for office or endorsing.
