What are we gonna do now? Taking off his turban, they said, is this man a Jew?
'Cause they're working for the clampdown
They put up a poster saying we earn more than you!
When we're working for the clampdown
We will teach our twisted speech To the young believers
We will train our blue-eyed men To be young believers
The alt-right will defend practically anything. Won't they?
This is generic speech and not plagiarism? You will excuse anything as long as a Trump does it.
Here were Melania Trump's remarks:
From a young age my parents impressed on me the values that you work hard for what you want in life. That your work is your bond and you do what you say and keep your promise. That you treat people with respect. They taught and showed me values and morals in their daily life. That is a lesson that I continue to pass along to our son, and we need to pass those lessons on to the many generations to follow because we want our children in this nation to know that the only limit to your achievements is the strength of your dreams and your willingness to work for them. I am fortunate for my heritage but also for where it brought me today.
And here's an excerpt of Michelle Obama's "One Nation" speech from 2008:
And Barack and I were raised with so many of the same values: that you work hard for what you want in life; that your word is your bond and you do what you say you're going to do; that you treat people with dignity and respect, even if you don't know them, and even if you don't agree with them. And Barack and I set out to build lives guided by these values, and to pass them on to the next generation. Because we want our children -- and all children in this nation -- to know that the only limit to the height of your achievements is the reach of your dreams and your willingness to work for them."

Just watched it, that was terrible. She'd get tossed as a university student.
Not sure what this Biden stuff is about, but if he did something similar, he's an idiot too.

>the butthurt
>not a generalized thing
Right, I was clearly referring to you personally /s
Let's take this slowly. I say people are butthurt, you say they arent and are making fun of her, I say not so because they were mad about her speech long before these accusations were made and that they attacked her for poor English. which is petty. Pettiness is a sign of butthurt.
And again, we all know making fun of Mike Brown's mom for speaking in broken English would be "mean". Which she probably will
Some of it was word for word. Don't make excuses. People at high levels should not plagiarize. Anyone with a modicum of respect for the people of the country would know that and have people to ensure it doesn't happen. It's especially damning that Trump himself had commended Michelle Obama for her version.
I see it mentioned a lot. It seems to be a boogeyman. Like George Soros.
Probably just people trying to rebrand 4chan

Did I indicate otherwise? Just pointing out that similarities in a part of speech isnt clear cut evidence of plagiarism. But a whole speech is.
I mean I did say "is not prima facie evidence"

Now that last part is actually a good point

Well you clearly didnt since you double misread me. I didnt actually read you at all. It was probably drivel. Just noting another way you were wrong
Biden's was more of an omission. He had a line about he and his wife being the first of their family to complete college and what that means which mirrored that of a UK politician's speech. He had previously accredited the observation to the person but failed to when using the line at a debate.
Not excusing it, but I wouldn't say it is at the same level.
