Like everyone else I feel that people always find a way to push me to the side, to objectify me, to react to my body as opposed to my ideas, and to use me as a screen to project their fears and doubts on.

An Indiana blogger exposes a serial plagiarist in an interesting locale: the White House. The offender has already copped to the most recent offense.

The news of Sen. Obama's $48 billion offer for Yahoo sent a shudder through Sen. Hillary Clinton's campaign, which for the past six weeks has been subsisting on Ramen noodles.

Obama use of Deval Patrick's lines is no more plagiarism than when Hillary Clinton uses the same quotation from Isaiah that her husband used in the past.

MLK, Jr. has been forgiven his own plagiarism because the moment demanded "I Have A Dream," whether or not the three words were arranged by Republican Archibald Carey.

On occasion, Hillary can do sincerity. Obama is sincere. And that's what people are responding to.

While Mark Penn was boxing, David Axelrod was playing chess. His decisions have been made within a long-term strategic framework, designed with a focus, three, four, sometimes five moves ahead.

The Clinton campaign's attack on Obama's use of the line "just words" was widely panned as a baseless and desperate ploy. Her cover-up might go over even worse.

It's as if they were just waiting for Obama to become the frontrunner. Following the "Just Words" borrowing from Gov. Deval Patrick (D-MA), the Repu...

If Obama's words are somebody else's, and do not spring from his own inspirational story, then they become as irrelevant and hollow as a Super Bowl Budweiser feel-good commercial.
Jeffrey Feldman | Posted 02.19.2008 | Politics
The Clinton campaign's plagiarism accusation shows that Obama is not quite as unique, not quite as historic, and not nearly as anti-politics-as- usual as his campaign rhetoric claims him to be.
Bob Franken | Posted 02.19.2008 | Politics
Perhaps Barack Obama will now include a new phrase in his speeches which goes "...and I quote."
John R. Bohrer | Posted 02.18.2008 | Politics
I'd like to put Hillary Clinton's 2008 attacks on Obama's rhetoric next to that of Patrick's 2006 Republican opponent, Kerry Healey. Might find some "plagiarism" there, too.

What's the next attack? Obama stole his haircut from whoever? Obama's gestures are lifted from what's his name? Seriously, is this what Howard Wolfson and Mark Penn have been reduced to?
Taylor Marsh | Posted 02.18.2008 | Politics
Obama's played his supporters for suckers. They bought into the hope hype, sucking up this stuff with a straw, only to find out Obama's not an original, he's a knock off, of a governor, no less.
Robert Schlesinger | Posted 02.18.2008 | Politics
If politics is sports, then Obama's rhetoric is like a filthy fastball that opposing hitters haven't managed to hit yet. He keeps running it out there until someone connects off of him.
