At the Democratic Debate in Austin, Texas Hillary Clinton said;
"Well, I think that if your candidacy is going to be about words, then they should be your own words. That's, I think, a very simple proposition. (Applause.) And you know -- you know, lifting whole passages from someone else's speeches is not change you can believe in; it's change you can Xerox. And I just don't think --"
and she made a lot of people mad when she commented on Obama getting caught plagiarizing. Maybe Hillary is a little out of touch and someone should have told her the creative class doesn't "Xerox," they copy and paste--they also don't plagiarize they create mashups.
One of John McCain's advisers caught Obama
"He basically took Clinton's words and Clinton's policies and called them his own," Hassett said. "If I were a professor I'd give him an F and try to get him kicked out of school for something this terrible ... I remember Mrs. Clinton saying shared prosperity and I remember the bill that she introduced in August for infrastructure. The fact is these are things Obama has taken as his own without crediting the source of the ideas which was Mrs. Clinton."
And things got worse from there. A couple of days later people began to notice that he had mashedup speeches by Deval Patrick, John Edwards and Malcolm X.
