Some conservatives have been trying to make a big deal about Obama plagiarizing his speeches, but does anyone really care who has the original ownership of that meaningless pap? Theft-wise, it’s like stealing a handful of styrofoam peanuts. Who cares?
“… Americans want change! America needs hope! I want to bring change to the hopeless, and hope to the changeless. And we can do that by first bringing hope to the hopeless, because that is where the changeless live day to day, and where the hope is needed most! Let us break from the traditions of the past, that seek to divide our unisons, and let us instead unite our divisions and move toward a future that is different from the past because the way is brightly lit with the burning hope of change. Lets us HOPE, for a change! And let the hope for change unite this country.”
Man, whoever he plagiarized that from was probably on ‘Yogi, X and DMT’…that’s a Tool reference for Alan.
(that was written by a friend, not me)
oops ^that was me^ …I plagiarized, how ironic.
so when a politician quotes other politicians its bad?
I saw this speach they speak of, WHO CARES? and its hillary trying to screw things up for him, not conservatives
anyway, there are plenty of other things to point out how screwed up this guy is
America needs change. I need change! Lots of change and hope! I’d prefer if they give me shiny new silver dollars or gold but any silver change will do and will increase my hope a lot! I like hope when it comes with change! I can also be bought for the right amount of hopeful change…
Man, I HOPE Obaba CHANGES into something other than a vapid, spinelsss numnuts before he becomes president.
I like chocolatey change. Lot’s of chocolate; things made from chocolate; chocolate drinks (e.g. Kalua, chocolate and milk); chocolate politicians are okay as long as they bring me hope of chocolate and change towards a more chocolately lifestyle. Hopefully, there will be more change towards chocolate in my life. Hope for chocolatey change.
Well, if someone steals something that worthless when there’s a high likelihood of getting caught, it doesn’t say much for that individual’s judgement.
I like to melt marshmallow peeps in the microwave. It changes them. It makes them even more delicious than before. There isn’t much to a marshmallow peep but if someone took one of my specially melted peeps I would be furious. So yeah, I can see how someone might be angry if you stole their speech even if it was a pretty worthless speech. Even it was just marshmallow fluff it was still your fluff. I think Obama needs to stop taking speeches and sit down and write one of his own. I don’t think Frank as a writer should downplay this at all. Obama is like those fake blogs out there. He just copies stuff from everyone else instead of creating his own material. He’s just a copy machine. What a loser. America deserves better than a vapid fluff spewing copy machine as its next president.
Whoa, Nate, you’re starting to show.
We’re running out of time to let this man tax and spend us to death.
I need wheels more than health care to put food on the table. Therefore all employers should be forced to buy a car for their employees. I want a Cadillac.
I never thought I’d say this: Good analogy, Nate.
Obamaniac was plagiarizing my governor’s speeches to be exact. Deval Patrick, ruler of the the People’s Republik of Taxachusetts. How could he do such a thing to a fellow socialist, and fellow brother-man? lol
Not only that, but some conservatives have been trying to make a big deal about Obama plagiarizing his speeches. Does anyone really care who has the original ownership of that meaningless pap? Theft-wise, it’s like stealing a handful of styrofoam peanuts.
Who cares?
And it can hardly be Obama’s fault. With all the gang violence, racism, kids killing kids, and health insurance companies still needing customers, I blame society. It’s really all of our fault.
And isn’t the real plagiarism the plagiarism of the war in Iraq? Why don’t conservatives do something about that, hmm?
#13 by Socrates:
?? Please explain. This can be taken several ways.
(Sorry: I’m just lampooning the lib way of saying that the REAL morality is being tolerant of the immoral, or the REAL source of strength is diversity, or otherwise that the REAL X is something at best totally unrelated to X.)
actually it was the clintons who accused him…
I would not really call them conservatives.
also from taxachuestts…
love the Howie Carr saying “dont blame me, I voted for muffy”
Hey, he’s the favorite candidate of the islamic world council, he must have something going for him.
Ok, thanks Socrates. I get it. I wonder if the idiot lib trolls did, though. I doubt it. They’re not too bright and your humor (sense of irony?) is logically too advanced.
Seriously Joe Biden is a plagiarist from way back. He’s still being elected to Congress, he’s still sitting on committees, he’s still in the news.
Go figure.
He’s also a nasty, cynical stinker, seanmahair. He reminds me of some kids I knew growing up in a big Catholic parish: constantly dirty face, runny nose, dirty shorts, constant fighting and a complaining, whining tone of voice. Of course he may never have been like that, but his adult demeanor sure reminds me of it.
I know the type. This is the kind of person who appeals to Liberals however. I’m not sure why, maybe they like to feel superior?
It’s one of those things in life that makes you go hmmmmmmmmm.
Obama plagiarizing his speeches is nothing compared to what McCain did to McAbel…
Hey! A handful of styrofoam peanuts dissolved in a few ounces of gasoline makes a kickbutt napalm!
If employers are providing wheels, I want Bigfoot, Grave Digger, and 24 other monster trucks that guzzle fuel, that in turn combine to become a monstrosity truck that guzzles even more fuel and crush any enemy ala Transformers. That way I can also easily get through the record snow produced by you guessed it, global warming. Hmmm, how much global warming will my wheels cause to melt the snow, no one will ever know. But it only takes three licks to get to the center of a Tootsy Pop. That scholarly owl said so.
I blame global warming and George Bush and Arnold Schwarzenegger and Seinfeld and Newman and everybody who was ever on Friends and Mike Huckabee and Al Gore and Mad magazine.
The black guy is running out of material and as a part of my politically correct affirmative action program, I’m lending him every speech I ever made since the “Jesus wept” answer to “what’s the shortest verse in the Bible?” question I got when I was four years old in Sunday School. They gave me a Tootsie Pop, but it was lime and I gave it to my brother, and he didn’t like it either so he gave it to the dog who spit it out.
Mark Steyn says the black guy is political Muzak, but I say he’s the Seinfeld candidate because he’s all about nothing, but I didn’t say the nothing part, so nobody got it so they gave it to the dog and….well, y’know…
Hey BHO: Spare some change?
Yeah, we should all go to Obama rallies and chuck spare change at the stage (or at his fainting minions). It would be like throwing mac and cheese at a Barenaked Ladies concert.
Hey Obama! FU! “Just words”.
One of the nightly news shows last night used the phrase “one of the candidates used words that were not their own”. Duh. They pay writers to write speeches. Of COURSE the words aren’t their own!
Come to think of it, I just had a thought.
Some conservatives have been trying to make a big deal about Obama plagiarizing his speeches, but does anyone really care who has the original ownership of that meaningless pap? Theft-wise, it’s like stealing a handful of styrofoam peanuts. Who cares?
Good point.
Stupid ideas are stupid, even if you stole them from Marx and Lenin.
I imagine there might be a pretty pissed off styrofoam elephant.

Anyone know how old Nate is? His brain seems to be rather pliable still. There really is “Hope” for Nate.
BTW – I watched the videos of the two speaches. The original was delivered way better than Obama’s rendition. Elect the other guy instead. Has the LA Times promoted this guy to Magic Negro yet?
semper Fidelis
I always figured he was just reading the bumper stickers off the back of some Volvo somewhere. You mean someone else actually said that stuff?

Haha, nice ‘Song of the South’ reference.
