Another TP'er breaks the rules (and the law) and blames the messenger


Posted: Nov 4, 2013

Man up.  It's about personal responsibility.  Rand was caught and now he wants to make light of it by an absurd invitation to duel (???) and blame the ones who caught him.

the dishonest amateurism of all this, is the often profoundly silly content.

A science fiction movie, Gattaca, was plagiarized by Rand to explain how women's freedom to have abortion is a threat to human liberty as it will lead to a future world in which babies are "graded" at birth for their genetic adequacy.

This is a pattern we've seen in him many times over. It seems to illustrate not only his very low evaluation of his listeners' intellect, but, more to the point, his own serious lack in that respect.

His and many others of his ilk. Unlike the extreme right's attacks on the rest of America, there is never a need to make any of this stuff up. A whole crowd of ding-dongs just keeps delivering an unending supply.

Three complete pages of Rand Paul's book were - plagiarized, copied without quotes or

attribution, from a right wing think tank publication. Copied into HIS book, which is, of course, offered for sale in stores around the country.

Senator Paul is now pretending to be outraged, but he is hardly innocent. Every high school and college class that assigns papers warns against plagiarism and the consequences if a student is caught trying to get away with plagiarizing text that belongs to another person or institution.

I always though this is illegal. The emperor - has not clothes. nm
