And I agree with you (19) about not needing a Muslim as President. I’ve heard it said Obama is not a Muslim, but I have also heard evidence to suggest he is.

Hi BonBon…Happy Tuesday! It makes me smile to see you use “KKKlintons” in post 19.

Sometimes a nickname, a slight variation in spelling, or use of phonetics can be so descriptive.

In this particular situation, “KKKlintons” says a lot…

How can you “lift” comments when they were freely given to you by the source?

This smear is pathetic, and honestly makes The Clintons look worse, and even desperate, for even trying to use this as an issue.

You are most likely right on Robert. The KKKlinton’s do seem to have a way of fighting dirty. I’m just crossing my fingers that the smears lay on heavy because we do not need a muslim as president of the US.

“Pffsh.

Is this the best they can come up with? ”

Nope. This is just the beginning. The KKKlinton smear machine has apparently started. Watch lots more dirt to come out now; we’ll hear about every time Obama ever forgot to return a library book and more.

This is what the KKKlinton vermin do; it is in their DNA. They’re just getting started.

He acknowledged it after he was caught. It never should have gotten to this. He is alledgedly and educated man.. Clinton Campaign: A "Pattern" of Obama Borrowing [Byron York]

Top Clinton campaign officials Mark Penn and Howard Wolfson are holding another conference call with reporters now. Wolfson is pointing to a "pattern" of alleged plagiarism by Barack Obama, suggesting that reporters look at a blog entry by ABC's Jake Tapper which suggests another example of Obama lifting material from Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick. In that blog entry, Tapper points to a statement from Obama quoted in USA Today in 2007: "I am not asking anyone to take a chance on me. I am asking you to take a chance on your own aspirations." Tapper then quotes Patrick, speaking to the 2006 Massachusetts Democratic convention, saying, "I am not asking anybody to take a chance on me. I am asking you to take a chance on your own aspirations." "We are seeing a pattern here," Wolfson told reporters a short time ago. "And here is another example of where the words match exactly."

Obama acknowledged he borrowed lines from Patrick, but he said he did so at Patrick’s suggestion. Obama, known for his eloquent speeches, conceded he should have given the governor credit for the lines.

“I’m sure I should have – didn’t this time,” Obama said.

David Plouffe, Obama’s campaign manager, described the plagiarism charges as a red-herring distraction, with Clinton aides desperately “grasping at straws to try and create some momentum for their campaign.”

Obama should have given the credit to the Governor. Plagiarism is the laziness of a very smart mind… he thinks he can get away without doing his homework… he does this on television in a Tim Russert interview

“I’ve known Barack 15 years. We’ve talked a good deal. I fully expected he would sustain a charge at some point, trying to belittle his ability to motivate people. I got the same attack,” Patrick said.
