Do you say the same thing about other immigrants here when you hear them speak with an accent?

No, I can't, because they are not laughing. AO is very angry. Does he laugh when he's angry? Obvious sign of some type of psychopathy.

Final post on this lame issue:

If this is all these Commies can dwell on, then they have a lot to worry about.
So far, seven hours of non-stop commentary on the matter on MSNBC.
They don't devote that much media time when a misunderstood Black kills a cop. Very telling.
The Left is quivering with fear now that Hillary is tanking. LOL.
The End.

tell me what should we do with MLK? should we take that part of our history books and give credit to the proper person in schools? YES or NO?

Should we change the words of "I have a DREAM" from his Memorial?



be consistent....you can't give MLK a pass and go after Melania.

I found a report where Barack Obama also did the same thing, taking parts of a senator's speech. Not a peep about it.

If she did take a few lines, I don't think it's a big deal.

She said with as little help as possible. For her, that may have been a lot of help.


The initial statement released from the campaign said she had a team of speech writers.


She may have written her thoughts, experiences and ideas as a bunch of gibberish and the writers edited and re-wrote, did some "research", suggested and added a few things, made it sound nice, and that was the speech.

Sounds better to me than - it's not plagiarism- silly, blame Hillary, we're not discussing it anymore.
I know, there were so many better spins than denial or blaming Hillary.
With Trump's money they could have paid a speech writer to take one for the team.
The coverup is usually worse than the crime.


I could see Melania being a victim here, except, she lied about having a college degree.
Although she did complete her freshman year.


You would have thought the Trump Scampaign would have done some fact checking and proofreading.
I imagine every word of Trump's kid's speeches are being rewritten as I type.

You are seriously in denial if you are claiming that this wasn't a case of plagiarism.
It was 7 percent of her speech. Ninety three percent of her speech was nothing like Michele's and seems to be totally original.

I'm not saying it isn't a case of possible plagiarism - of the most inconsequential sort. What I'm saying is that the phrases are so common, and the ideas are so universal, that it's not very important.

In case you missed it - I also said that whatever speech writer oversaw and proofed her speech should be disciplined - probably fired. But it's just not that big a deal to me. It's a fluff speech - either version of it.

To think that no one would notice is monumentally stupid. But hey, why re-invent the wheel when you can steal someone else's.

Well, she paid enough to have them look like that. Check out early photos to compare. No problem with plastic surgery, you should get what you pay for. If you've got the $$$, go for it. Unfortunately, many of those with money are using the same surgeons (or the surgeons are using the same 'templates', kind of like plagiarizing..er...copying a speech, so the same 'looks' are cropping up...just sayin'...check out the comparisons for Melania.
