And about the parents who spoke because their children’s lives were taken by illegal aliens.

Oh, and things like the thread I posted about CNN apparently tampering with a video of the Alton Sterling shooting.

(Remember how it was a big deal that a Life photographer removed an antenna from a photograph because it seemed to jut out of Mary Decker’s chin? Or National Geographic rearranged an Egyptian Pyramid for its cover? Now it’s wholesale deception.)

But this feeding of a non-story is something that our side is doing.

The left successfully managed to pretty much avoid discussing Benghazi, the security lapses of the private server, and the Clinton Foundation corruption.

Our side is allowing itself to be consumed by the most minor of plagiarism cases. That’s falling into a trap.

It’s a matter of discipline and self-control, and turning back to the real controversies that actually matter.

Stop talking about this until the media gives it its due importance - which is not much.

There are over a dozen threads on this on the News/Activism page. That needs to change.

I’m going to do what I can to not feed this.

Liberal logic:

Someone actually “had to be harmed” for Clinton’s highly reckless treatment of Classified material to matter (and the liberals say that it hasn’t been proved that any damage was done).

Melania Trump’s speech apparently plagiarizes a couple of sentences of a speech - the crime of the century!

Now, if what Melania Trump and/or her speechwriter did is so bad, what about what Hillary Clinton has done?!

Excellent comment and worth repreating.
