What's in a quote? For Joe Biden, his plagiarisation of a speech delivered by Neil Kinnock, then Labour leader, helped put pay to his own campaign to win the Democrats' presidential nomination more than 20 years ago.
The speech by Mr Kinnock, as he desperately tried to remodel and rebuild the Labour Party, was widely judged to be a dramatic and powerful piece of political rhetoric - making it particularly tempting

But they’re democrats so it doesn’t count.
See, it only counts when a Republican does it, OR the future first lady does it (and it really wasn’t).
I just hope freepers don't fall for this crap. Talking about family values is NOT plagiarism. You can either have a gorgeous woman in the White House or a frumpy hausfrau. We need to make up our minds quickly.
Democrats are filth. They’re garbage who hate my country, my guns, Western civilization, and everything that is good. Trump is not my first choice, but even if he were my 10,000th choice, it is still true that the best democrat who ever trod the globe is not 1 billionth as good as the worst republican. Having said all that, the quoted passages were 100% plagiarized. Period. End of story. I don’t know who is to blame, and I do not care; Donald Trump and his wife could rob banks all day every day and they would still be better than any democrat who ever lived.
If you focus on this ludicrous nonsense, you are part of the problem. At least this morning, while Morning Joe is attempting to destroy the wonderful impression this beautiful woman made, Fox & Friends is completely ignoring it - BECAUSE IT’S A NOTHING STORY.
Yep..Spread the word. Hypocrites all. Candidates and office holders . . . Not their wives.
I can’t stand Morning Joe and his friend mika. They both think they are God’s gift.
I am not REMOTELY focused on this. It is absolutely irrelevant to me; again, DT and his wife could rob banks for all I care and they would still be immeasurably better than any sub-human filth democrat. I was merely pointing out that plagiarism is still plagiarism.
By the way, I think the Trumps are victims of sabotage here. Somebody wrote that speech for Mrs. Trump, and they clearly put michelle-pig’s words in there on purpose. It was no accident.
Maybe this was done on purpose. When I heard her say your word is your bond, I knew I had heard this many times before, and wondered who she was quoting originally.
I’m CONVINCED the Trumps were sabotaged on purpose. She did not write that speech, and I would never expect a candidate’s wife to write her own speeches, so that is perfectly fine. A professional speech writer wrote it, and plagiarism is NEVER EVER EVER EVER an accident. The speech writer did it ON PURPOSE to hurt the Trumps. I imagine by the end of the day, we will know that traitor’s name.
The traitor’s name might be Kushner.
Man, all the morning news shows are pushing the hell out of the Melania story today.
Look at cruz old employees first
I was feeling good this morning after a great night of speeches, but this crap is making me sick to my stomach.
Not Melania but the fact the media and social media are having a field day over it!! Heads need to roll if it was sabotage!!
The words themselves....your word is your bond. Reminded me of Jeb too and his word to support the Republican nominee. Word.
BINGO!!!!
Elizabeth Warren’s and Obama’s “you didn’t build” is another example. Or how about Obama copying two of Deval Patrick’s speeches.
Trump should use in his speech, “You’ve been hoodwinked, bamboozled” just to let those words come back to haunt them. Then he can talk about inner city unemployment, etc.
Well, good Heavens. What hasnt' Uncle Joe Plagiarized?
Since 1801 the motto of the London Stock Exchange has been “dictum meum pactum” which is Latin for “My word is my bond”. The American actor Melvyn Douglas who died in 1981 said “Your word is your bond”.
It appears that Michelle did some plagiarism of her own and if you believe that then Melania hijacked a thief. This old saw has been around for 200 plus years.
It only took about 5 minutes to find these two examples and the actor passed away 27 years before Michelle gave her speech in 2008.
