Speeches draw upon other speeches for inspiration? Stop the presses!

More laughable crap from liberals, looking for any little thing to discredit what was a fantastic, hit it out of the ballpark speech by Donald J. Trump, Jr.

I guarantee you if you went through every speech tonight something would be "plagiarized" from somewhere else.  And *gasp* when you watch the coronation of Hillary! next week, the same will be true.

This is politics, not an English class. sh**t gets recycled all the time.

Damn it!  I was heaping praise on this guy.  Why?  Why would someone mar an otherwise flawless performance with such a bush league error?  Why would he remind us he is from a family of plagiarists?


I'm going to say a little prayer for you.

This seems like something that was originally blatantly copied and then slightly re-arranged sometime this afternoon after last night's fiasco.

The Republican convention is going so horribly wrong that the Republicans may have well have farted a bubble of poo-flavored gum and floated over Cleveland for a week, before rupturing and stinking up the city for years on end.

No, it's f***ing laughable is what it is. I bet you just about every speech tonight has elements from somewhere else. And next week, at the sh**t show known as the Democrat National Convention, the same thing will happen.

It's politics. sh**t gets recycled all the time.

This "plagiarism" meme is tripe and tired already.

I might have bought that before last night, because this isn't quite as blatant, given the different sentence order. But last night happened, and now this builds on a theme.

Rules only apply to Hillary Clinton! Donald Trump and his family deserve to be above the law!

Above the law? Do you think political rhetoric is copyrighted? What "law" is broken exactly?

They're all just laying the groundwork for big Don's  speech, where he both frees the slaves and declares war on Japan.

Apparently Buckley, who wrote the article, also co-wrote the speech.

Stealing an author's words isn't "drawing inspiration". It's theft. If he wanted to say those words in his speech, he should've attributed them to the original author.

And guess who partially wrote Donald Trump Jr.'s speech:
https://twitter.com/BrettLoGiurato/status/755607692354420736

The same guy who wrote the original article.  You can't plagiarize yourself, can you?

I just saw that, so it's more similar to Obama borrowing Deval Patrick's words, which Obama got permission for.
