Look I get we all copy a bit in school but when you're on a world stage you're gonna look like a huge idiot I agree, ultimately, but the audience he is pandering to doesn't give a gently caress.

lol the Muslims for Trump guy is mercenary as poo poo http://fusion.net/story/289038/sajid-tarar-muslims-for-donald-trump/ quote:In the past, Tarar has voted for both Republicans and Democrats, and he’s been cozy with the political establishment: On the wall of his office is a photo of him shaking hands with Dick Cheney. He’s even considered running for office himself. But Tarar said he became so fed up with President Obama and the federal government that Trump’s message started making sense to him. So this seems to be his LinkedIn? It has him as a member of various Democratic orgs and a part of some Advisory councils when O'Malley was in charge. Also his job involves helping rich foreigners secure visas. https://www.linkedin.com/in/sajid-tarar-557b5315

vyelkin posted:I honestly wouldn't be surprised if this is something the Trumps have been doing forever, either because a) no one has ever told them it's wrong, or b) they just don't give a poo poo, and no one has ever called them out on it before because they weren't in the national spotlight until Papa Trump decided to run for president. That would be my guess. Trump speech writers have probably done it forever and the Melania story didn't break with near enough time for them to find proper speech writers, write a new speech for Junior, and have him learn it.

I think we all fondly remember the time John Favreau copy/pasted from a letter to the editor he wrote to The Nation and inserted it directly and unaltered into Obama's convention speech. This is totally nothing guys.

Cribbing from your own stuff word-for-word is still incredibly lazy and lovely, but I guess technically it's not plagiarism.

Makes him a lazy rear end speechwriter though. "Oh hey I wrote something good like this, lets just copy a few lines" I'm sticking with the this was bait for the media so they could act like Melania's thing was no big deal theory.

Why the gently caress are they even trying to write cool speeches, just sarah palin sperg into the mike for 20 minutes and the base will slurp that poo poo up. You can't plagiarize word salad

Grey Fox posted:Because this was the latest incident, it's going to be referenced first and in the most detail. People MIGHT consider it "soft" plagiarism (still plagiarism, but these people DO NOT CARE), but either way it will spawn much of a phony debate because it's not a straight copy-and-paste. Then they mention Melania as an afterthought, and suddenly people start wondering how much they really give a gently caress. ...and by the time the debate ends, the convention's over and no one has talked about killing the gays and selling Hispanics to zoos for meat or whatever it is Trump's campaign wants them to talk about.

paranoid randroid posted:not plagiarism, just more slapdash crap from the campaign that is redefining the meaning of phoning it in At the risk of being pedantic, if you write something in a copyrighted publication and then later reuse the language, one is supposed to cite/quote that earlier publication. For this I doubt it is a big deal, but self plagiarism is a thing.

At my university if you reused parts of a previous paper in a new assignment you'd still get kicked out for plagiarism. It's insulting laziness.
