Melania's RNC speech versus Michelle Obama's DNC speech

Now where have I heard some of these things? Hamlet Act 1 Scene 3 perhaps?


LORD POLONIUS
Yet here, Laertes! aboard, aboard, for shame!
The wind sits in the shoulder of your sail,
And you are stay'd for. There; my blessing with thee!
And these few precepts in thy memory
See thou character. Give thy thoughts no tongue,
Nor any unproportioned thought his act.
Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar.
Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried,
Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel;
But do not dull thy palm with entertainment
Of each new-hatch'd, unfledged comrade. Beware
Of entrance to a quarrel, but being in,
Bear't that the opposed may beware of thee.
Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice;
Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgment.
Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy,
But not express'd in fancy; rich, not gaudy;
For the apparel oft proclaims the man,
And they in France of the best rank and station
Are of a most select and generous chief in that.
Neither a borrower nor a lender be;
For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
This above all: to thine ownself be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.
Farewell: my blessing season this in thee!

Well what do you know Trump was right about something.

When it was brought up on these forums that Biden plagiarized his way through college liberals here said, "...he borrowed some words - so what?"

What are they saying now?

Is it true that Melania's first draft was rejected because it was too close to the Gettysburg Address?

(Ba da bump)

Sorry. Melania is lovely.

Is it true that Melania's first draft was rejected because it was her communist Slovenian high school valedictory address and was written in the style of Fidel Castro? (6 hours long)

Sorry. Couldn't resist. I'll go now.

Love you Ivana!

You should care when people connected to the person are being disingenuous. You would listen to what "references" or friends or associates would have to say, yes?

Or do you just dodge questions when you don't like the answer? Or when errors are pointed out?

I see you have chosen "Detective Columbo" for your avatar. Now this character would not have ignored the obvious.

And just in case you might have certain ideas, about various people, as 'The Right', some of them, do seem to have, I just thought I'd point out also that actor Peter Falk - was a Jew.

I always try to respond to those who reply to my posts in part out of respect, in part because I enjoy the discussions about a wide range of topics and most importantly (to me) is that the ensuing conversations/debates give me the opportunity to either learn something that may change my opinion or hone my skills so that I can debate my positions at a later date. Unfortunately at the moment my time is limited but I felt compelled to reply to THIS one.

The first part of your post was, in my opinion, fair and reasonable and worthy of discussion. However, when you went on to write....

And just in case you might have certain ideas, about various people, as 'The Right', some of them, do seem to have, I just thought I'd point out also that actor Peter Falk - was a Jew.

Either make the accusation or don't. I ask you to not hide behind the disclaimer of "some of them, do seem to have." If you want to call me an anti-Semite or racist then go ahead and do it (if you have the backbone to do so). That being said, if you do, then go ahead and cite examples of my anti-Semitism or racism. I've been on this site for a bit over a year. If I'm a racist or anti-Semite it should be easy pickings for you.

Oh, and just one more thing....
If I was my avatar, which of course I am not, then maybe... just maybe I brought out who you are? Maybe I shed some light on the fact that you are the type of person that makes horrible, HORRIBLE assumptions and accusations about people without knowing what they are talking about?

Thats just *Uckin Epic!

a reply to: BrokedownChevy

This is so beyond ridiculous. I can't imagine this was done for any reason BUT to be caught. Probably just another move by Team Trump to help put Hillary in the White House. She is apparently the Chosen One. I'm not surprised, I mean, someone has to hold the reins until the Chelsea Clinton, Barbara Buah and Jenna Bush can hold the presidency long enough to minimize Clinton-Bush downtime until their children are ready to sit on the throne.

ATS has officially lost its mind. A 30+ page thread about 20 seconds out of 17 minutes of something that *maybe* plagiarized? roflmao

Go find a real story about something important.

Yet you found yourself here on page 31 making a comment.

You know there is something wrong with liberals when they are more worried about 50 or so repeated words from a possible first lady than 3000 or so deleted emails from a Presidential Candidate.

Back again on page 33, must of been a short story!!!

Trump sheep trying to play this off like it's not the shambles that it is.

This isn't THE reason you shouldn't vote for trump. It's just one of many.

It's just one of 100's of embarrassing examples that mean only racists and the brain dead will vote for trump.

Where's the purjury thread for Melanie claiming she wrote it herself

How so? PLease explain your reasoning. Whats a shame is the left not realizing this is a TROLL and was done on purpose to illustrate the medias BIAS to his voters.

Quite a few Blacks voting for trump. Are they racist? I thought that was impossible. ANd Voting for hillary after she was caught in a lie is really smart huh? Talk about brain dead.

You think it's impossible for a black person to be racist? Brain dead indeed.

whilst I understand the terminology for plagiarism, I think it's being stretched to the limit here for some faux outrage, politicians continue to prove they will stoop lower than a snakes belly.

At the end of the day, most things that come out of politicians mouths are not truthful.

Plagiarism is really wrong when it breaches IP and Copyright, I know the definition is passing others work off as your own, but a. It wasn't MICHELLE OBAMA's work, it was her script writers, b. it wasn't the gorgeous Mrs Trumps work, it was her script writers and 4. the hot air and noise which was emitted from either lady's mouth is hardly a piece of valuable artwork, copyrighted or even relevant to the planet.

In summary, who gives a flying fu##

What the heck is going on with Trumps campaign?? How could nobody have picked this up? For goodness sakes this man is a billionaire (supposedly), they have advisors, speechwriters and nobody picked this up. It's bad enough part of the speech was copied, but from Michele Obama of all people?

The First Lady rarely makes any sort of significant impact, particularly during campaigns. Some have taken up pet projects once in office and have done some good but that's about it.

With that said, this Tempest-in-a-Teapot seems to be nothing but a distraction away from much bigger issues facing this election.

Who really cares what she - or the current First Lady - think or say?

I don't know if I should laugh or cry at what I have seen from the GOP convention so far. At this point in my viewing a daytime Soap Opera actress Kimberlin Brown has taken the chance to boost her national profile. To be fair Brown made a good speech and on the basis of what I have seen , she shouldn't have been the last speaker for the evening. The dominant media narrative from the Convention will be what you have been laughing your ass off at.

Slovenian journalists have revealed that Melania Trump's biography is tinged with "hyperbolic exaggeration", Donald Trump's pet name for his deviations from the truth.

Her official biography states that she has a degree in "design and architecture" earned at "University in Slovenia", but apparently she is a college drop out and left university after flunking a couple of courses in her first year.

www.huffingtonpost.com...

Trump should have given her a PhD in bimbofication from Trump University and put that in the bio, rather than tarting it up with a lie. Far be it from me to tell Trump supporters that anybody who lies so much that they have their own pet name for it is psychotic, but I have to admit, I am waiting for the moment when large droves of them suddenly wake up and smell the coffee.

I see you think I was calling you braindead. I didnt say your name so i was addressing the democrats in general who dont think having a lier in chief is a bad thing.

Look if I am going to insult you I will address you personally. the only thing meant for you was the Question to explain your reasoning. Im taking the high road here instead of reporting your insult.
