[quote=Anonymous][quote]The writer said she included some of the phrasing, and those phrases are fairly common. If you insist that's plagiarism then [b]Barack plagiarized Deval Patrick and Michelle plagiarized Saul Alinsky[/b].[/quote] For what I hope is the final time, the Obama speech and the Patrick speech used the same speech-writer, who essentially plagiarized himself. It's not best practice, but it's also not a big issue. In fact, Trump Jr. has the same issue with his speech last night. http://www.vox.com/2016/7/19/12233962/donald-trump-jr-plagiarize [i]So here's the difference, and it's big: Melania Trump's convention speech copied whole paragraphs from Michelle Obama's convention speech. That's not okay. Don Trump Jr.'s speech was written by a speechwriter who used some of his past material in the speech. You can argue whether that's the height of speechwriting, but there's nothing unethical about it [/i][/quote]
