[quote=Anonymous][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]

For another final time, Obama himself admitted he made a mistake by lifting Deval Patrick's speech. Obama's own words. You are the hypercritical one. For you Obama can do no wrong but for this poor lady, she must be plagiarizing even. The writer said she included some of the phrasing. She didn't say she copied whole paragraphs. Again you are being hypercritical and lying. The writer did not even check Michelle's speeches. How can she copy whole paragraphs?[/quote]
