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.
She only stole/lied a "little" bit.

Carry on! Mrs Trump eludes more class and elegance that Mrs Obama . She speaks five different laungages in which Shillary speaks just one bullchit . Say whatever back to business tomorrow , the media is as usual stirring trouble . There are bigger issues in this country Trump is not going to be affected at all .

Melania Trump Basically Copies a 2008 Michelle Obama Speech at the RNC | E! News
It's all over the social media.

On Facebook that is what everyone is talking about.

No one is much talking about 'Duck Dynasty' Robertson's folksy yet stupid speech.

All day today everyone I speak to is talking about Melania's plagiarized speech.

Milli Vanilli all over again!

What difference does it make? Trump haters are going to hate and Trump supporters are going to support him - nothing is going to change be that as it may - I see the true characters and lack of maturity of many of the anti-Trump supporters. Hopefully, none of you re in a position of leadership or teach our children.

This deserves an FBI and IRS investigation.

Bet the AG will prosecute this case.

Nor did these three or four sentences come close to being all of Melania's 10 minute speech as some have claimed. Such hyperbole from disingenuous people, but not surprising.

Melania gave a great speech with grace and poise. She was very impressive last night.
Yes, Michelle's speech is great. She was impressive when she gave it in 2008.

Why do you care about polls?? You don't mention the election result but you are happy just to see Trump move ahead in the polls. Mmmmkay.

Do you not realize that there is only one (self proclaimed) billionaire in this race and you seem to care about him a lot??

I didn't attack Melania. I called her a plagiarizer because she plagiarized based on the facts. That's not an attack, that's just calling out the facts. Something that you seem to have a real disliking to.

So you're saying the people pointing out plagiarism and what is wrong with plagiarism are not appropriate to be teaching children??
