Of all billion legit reasons to attack Palin, this plagiarism thing is BS. It's not lifted and she credits the guy who said the speech before. I don't like defending this airhead, but this article gives her and her supporters ammunition when they accuse her of being a victim of the left-wing media and blogosphere. And just thinking from a Democratic strategy point-of-view, why would we be bringing up plagiarism when Joe Biden, somewhat famous for speech plagiarism, is our VP, and when Obama, our pres, was attacked for lifting part of a speech from Deval Patrick?
MY last post lost it's ending, which should have stated:
It's such a sloppy form of critique - though so much easier than detailed analysis.
It's irritating to have to spring to the defence of Sarah Palin as I am not an admirer of hers, however, with respect, the inference of your blog needs to be corrected: Palin's speech is not lifted from Gingrich's & Shirely's. There's a world of difference between the serious intellectual offence of plagiarism, which is what you accuse Palin of here, and what she is doing in reality: drawing heavily on the influence of the work of others she admires.
While I accept that Palin relies too heavily on G & S and fails to attribute with sufficient vigor, your accusation of 'lifting' or plagiarism is groundless. If what Palin does here is plagiarism then we're all guilty of this - including you. The truth is that we all draw heavily on other intellectual influences all the time as, like Isaac Newton, we stand "on the shoulders of giants." Yet few of us are accused of plagiarism for this - because this is the way humanity progresses and our intellects develop. Those with sharper intellects may rely on others a little less, those with less sharp or uneducated intellects rely a little more.
Marx so heavily reiled on Hegel that there's profound convergence between the two philosophers - with the exception of their respective philosophies of the State. Yet even those who accuse Marx of being the 'oldest young Hegelian' wouldn't dream of accusing him of 'lifting' or plagiarism. It's such a sloppy form of critique - though so much
This really ticks me off. Here the conservatives nut jobs get all the air time, while the Progressive Democrats, the congress folks who are actually for the people are shut out.
