Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) was accused of plagiarism last week by MSNBC host Rachael Maddow and it looks like the the Senator will have to continue to deal with allegations as they keep piling on.

Well I guess you have to dig a post something when the leader of the free world lied to us about Obamacare multiple times.

I guess you cant defend him so you have to deflect and change the subject.

The Left is really getting desperate to divert attention away from Obamacare.

"He is not the first politician with presidential ambitions to face such allegations. Then-Sen. Joe Biden famously was accused of plagiarism during his 1988 run for the Democratic presidential nomination. He dropped out of the race shortly after reports emerged that parts of his stump speech closely resembled a speech made by British politician Neal Kinnock.
 
Barack Obama and John McCain were both accused of plagiarism regarding speeches given during the 2008 campaign."

I could care less what he does, he hasn't told me there were 57 states and he hasn't lied to me repeatedly about the biggest bill to go through in decades.
 
But hey ,I guess you can't defend him so you deflect and post some bs that Rachel Maddow said.
Never bring up FOX in here if you are sourcing her.

Can't defend Obama, he shouldn't have said what he said. First time a politician lied? Nope. Were you as upset about the WMD lie? You know, the one that actually got Americans killed?

one lied  believing to much in bad information, the other lied running a con on the American people.
Don't embarrass yourself posting about Bush.

This lie was along the lines of 'read my lips, no new taxes'. Did you have as much outrage then?

 

[Force Majeure]

This is funny. A thread about politicians using others words. And then piling on about other politicians passing on misinformation, untruths and outright lies. But hey, if it's your guy, it is ok, but not so much for the other guy?

ok let me put it where even a liberal can understand
 
Did you when Bush lied ,did you say that all politicians do it like you did earlier or did you express outrage?

Paul, as despicable as his purpose might be, is not plagiarizing because he is reviewing the plot from the movie, Gattaca. Paul says at the beginning of his remarks that all these ideas come from the movie, Gattaca. His use of the plot elements are therefore not plagiarism, but fair use. He never pretends that the ideas are his own.
Maddow showed several passages that Paul had lifted from Wikipedia's description of the movie without giving credit to the source. Wikipedia, however, does not copyright its stories.

What's the over under on Rands plagiarism to Obama's lying?

 

[blue collar]

I said all politicians do it, the same way I said when Obama did it. I wasn't under the illusion that everything out of their mouths is the truth, although it'd be nice if it were. I took issue with W because Americans died- but I didn't blame him solely- I also lay blame with all involved selling the lie.
I am fairly certain that if Obama had told insurance companies that they must maintain these plans- he would be faulted for telling them how to run their business. With some people- the other side can do no right, no matter what. It's the way it is
