Obama Plagiarizes Speech

Filed under: Barack Obama

Barack Obama has been criticized for plagiarizing a speech during a campaign stop this past weekend and not being upfront about it.

The similarities between the Democratic presidential hopeful and a speech made by by Deval Patrick, the current Democratic governor of Massachusetts, back in October 2006 are striking.

Barack blatantly copied several lines and linguistic speech patterns from Deval's "Just Words" speech for Obama's own "Words Matter" speech in Wisconsin.

    Yeah and that dirty Puerto Rican man who this past weekend killed his daughter and burner her in his apartment boiler and the Marine who murdered that poor white woman he raped in North Carolina even though she was one week away from giving birth then he fled to Puerto Rico. So you see, we all have our problems so don't just blame us Whites.

    its evident that the only support hillary has is women voting for her because she is a woman. Obama and Clinton are 95% the same on the issues. Hillary is washington as usual and a reminder of the past instead of the vision of the future. it's a waste of time to support Hillary. she was so arrogant that she did mis-managed her funds and proclaimed herself to be the nominee following Feb 5 is that the type of president we want.

    Vote Obama

    Perez, I have never commented before, and I doubt I will again. I come to your site for celebrity gossip, juicy rumors….not for politics. This has NOTHING to do with celebrity gossip. Please go back to what you do best. I know my words mean very little to you, now that you're big and famous; but I have stuck by this website for years now - and I will stop coming here if you do one more negative political post. Anti-obama, anti-hillary, even anti-huckabee and I will cease to show up here.

    I know you are pro-hillary. I personally would be happy with either obama or clinton getting the nod. You do realize that by slandering obama here you are doing exactly what the conservatives want - they want an easy win in november. by dividing our party and getting ugly like this, you are working for mccain. please wake up.

    In the name of all that's good - let the candidates vote their hearts - but not from scare tactics like that pathetic che post you put up, or from shit like this.

    stop. it. now.

    You are so full of it, Perez. Please stick to your menial job of dishing on the beautiful people you wish you were and leave the things that require thinking to more serious bloggers. I will be so glad when they shut you down. You are a racist and one of the biggest (in more ways than one) hypocrites there are. You dish on Jessica Alba, but you are worse than her, boricua.

    FUCK YOU PEREZ.

    This is out of context and everyone with a brain knows this is overblown, I can't believe you and other Hillary supporters would promote this and other baseless slander. Goes to show how pathetic her campaign has become. I am NEVER reading your bullshit about this or ANYTHING again.

    Enjoy your descent into obscurity.

    PEREZ, IF YOU POSTED ANYTHING ACCURATE ABOUT POLITICS, I WOULD RESPECT YOU. I'M A HILLARY SUPPORTER, BUT THIS IS HORRIBLE FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. DEVAL PATRICK HAS ENDORSED BARACK OBAMA AND CAMPAIGNED WITH HIM THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY. THE ARE GOOD FRIENDS. I WOULD HARDLY CALL THAT STEALING SOMEONE ELSE'S WORDS. I WOULD CLASSIFY IT AS THE FACT THEY BOTH HAVE THE SAME CHIEF STRATEGIST, DAVID AXELROD!

    213

    plagiarizing.. it sounds to me that both are saying key phrases that have been said before. but we all do that daily. and some could say that you PEREZ HILTON were plagiarizing off of PARIS HILTON!!! Dont be mad because he is going to be our next president! The only reason you were going for Hilary was because you want to be a woman!!

    Hillary SOLD HER SOUL to the health industry and you're going to continue to rag on Obama over a flag and a speech, why don't you talk about the legitimacy of their ACTIONS. Hillary is a sell out, both as a first lady, and a senator.

    216

    Oh there Obama goes again…..using his "black" voice. Must be speaking in front of a mostly "black" audience so he wants to sound like his "brothas" to appeal to them more. I love how he changes his accent when speaking to the predominately black audience. It's obvious all his speeches are so totally about HIS RACE!! Gotta play the race card, huh Obama??????

    Obama, go back to your muslim roots!!!!

    224

    So the Obama supporters don't like it that Perez has an opinion about politics. The truth hurts. It's a shame you can't put up video of JFK because I'm sure Obama has copied his speeches verbatim. JFKs speechwriter even says he contributes to the Obama campaign. As a boomer, I'm amazed that the Kennedys pimped out John and Bobby when they aren't even here to defend themselves. Perez, you have a one-of-a-kind website and it's their loss if the Obama whiners leave. This is America and you can do whatever the hell you want with your website.

  25. youloverae says – reply to this


    225

    Alright. I swore to myself I'd stop visiting the site if Perez kept posting entirely inappropriate anti-Obama posts that were based on nothing and clearly subsidized by the Clinton campaign. It is tacky and inappropriate and I am true to my word. Goodbye.

    Re: Aquariusgirl – Whatever,was I even talking to you? Learn to mind your business! Anyway, let's start with this, I'm on a free blog site, does it specify somewhere that I need to know how to spell? You obviously got the point, so miss me with that one, buddy.
    Second, I said look at yourselves before you point fingers, you fuckin' don't, so stop acting new and like you do! You, jumping to conclusions, minding someone elses business, and can't even get your facts straight.
    I'm sure, somewhere, your mass murdering race threw someones kids off of the bridge, is it wasn't that, I'm sure some mom claimed to be suffering fro PPD, and once again drove her and her kids into a lake, or threw them in because she was so saaad. If not that, maybe Bush will have thousands more killed for nothing within the next 2 months…heres a secret he even has our own killed…you can't even top that… to be continued

  30. KIM says – reply to this


    230

    continued… I'm sure w/in the next month some psycho will get mad at his parents and kill his whole family just like this kid did 2 weeks ago. Maybe another college killing? What about the woman who got naked and took her sisters kids into on coming traffic just to have them killed. The list can go on, baby. At least blacks keep it to their own over issues. You all are killing innocents for nothing, kids at that. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, and mind your fucking business. If you have a problem with the way I spell, take it up with your local complaint department, I'm sure they'll be glad to help.

    233

    This is the most retarded thing I've ever seen on this page, and I think that speaks volumes.

    If you (any of you for that matter) don't get the symbolic nature of a black man (2 black men, in fact) reiterating these statements, then you're sad. You're ignorant, really.

    The worst thing, though, isn't that this page blatantly LIES to mislead people, it's that you retards believe it!

    Even if the politicians themselves aren't stooping so low to this kind of manipulation and slander, you're still going to carry on the Bush-league fight, aren't you?

    Pathetic.

    Re: Aquariusgirl – You know what, the only reason whites are being blamed is because you all are allwwwaaaaayyyys the first ones to mention race. You all are the first ones to dick someone over for money, a kiss from a dog and nasty sex. You all are the jealous, hateful, inbreded cave dwelling people. Notice all of these sites, you all are the ones always bringing up race. You're so quick to call someone dirty, but I'm Japanese, and every white persons house I went into, it reeked, and it was dirty. Especially Amrican whites! Your race is unbelievable and sad. So don't get angry when someone pulls your card and calls you out. Look at yourselves, you suck, and you all are the moral-less ones bringing the earth down.

    Perez - enough with the politics.

    It's clear whose side of the fence you choose to rest on, and that's fine. However, enough with the cheap potshots. When I want political news, I log onto cnn.com. I prefer to hear the news from an educated man like Anderson Cooper, not a man who makes his living adding semen to photos of young girls like Miley Cyrus.

    That's it. I'm done. As much as I find this site fun and entertaining, I find the overt uneven, bias and unfair reporting on the Demorcated canidates awful. It is one thing to promote Clinton ALL the time, but now you are posting negitive reports on Senator Obama. We all know that you are in the pocket of Hillary. We all know that you are joined Latino movement of Hillary, but YOU DON'T SPEAK FOR ALL YOUNG LATINOS! There are still some of us who are indepenent and know what is best for us a whole. I will not be back to this site. I will ask my friends to boycot this site and its' advertisers. This site is not longer entertaining. It has become Hillary's propaganda bill board.

    240

    If you took the time to do your research you would learn that Obama and Patrick are actually supporters of one another. Patrick himself has stated that he and Barack frequently exchange ideas and strategy in regards to the election. To be honest the speech in question contains many well-known quotes that have been used in many speeches for the last fifty years. My advice to you is to stick to what you know best… which is hollywood gossip and stay out of matters you have little knowledge of considering you are doing more harm than good.

    252

    So much for the myth that Obama is not doing politics as usual….!

    If he had just given the credit for this speech to Patrick like an honest person, there would have been no problem. Instead he tries to imply his bogus preachy ripped off style and words are an original cleaver retort. He has aimed at those who criticize his use of words to obscure the fact that he is all talk with very questionable experience and competence..
    Obama will see his popularity rapidly diminish between the people waking up to what he really is about and the hammering that is yet to come from the Republicans.
    Before the Republican convention Kerry was leading 17% in the polls. Just wait till the Republicans get started. He has no chance of being the next president. At least Hillary has been facing this hatred for over a decade. She has faced the fire and has emerged stronger. Obama is untested. So far he has been treated with kid gloves…the Republicans are waiting for the right moment..and then watch and see. The negativity has been factored into Hillary already. Not so with the golden tongued preacher. They are hoping he will win and then they will move in and swiftboat him to defeat.

WHERE IS HE GETTING THE MONEY FOR THESE THINGS??? HOW IS GOING TO PROTECT AMERICA. He talks and talks with no mature answers, solutions. He'll turn this Country into crap. You know who's going to pay? You, who works, you'll pay for everything. DON'T VOTE FOR THIS LOSER, HE HAS NO ANSWERS, JUST TALKS. REALLY LISTEN TO HIM AND YOU'LL SEE I'M RIGHT!

NO OFFENSE TO DEVAL, BUT HE'S NO OBAMA!

    SIXTEEN YEARS. ONE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM MORE BROKEN THAN EVER. GOSH, THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK HILLARY.
    ***********************************************************
    That is such a great point! What makes her think she can get something passed as the president, when presidents don't make laws, the president either agrees to sign them (bills) into a law or not. Unless the president gets over ruled by a majority of congress, of course.
    Obama for President!!!!!

    Chelsea Clinton writes: "That's the whole problem I have with Obama - nothing he says or does is original. From what I have seen, he takes from all of the other candidates, rehashes"

    Do you think we are freaking idiots? Obama says NOTHING original? Everything he says is original. This is just your attempt to dumb us down with sweeping generalizations Young doesn't = stupid! But you Clintons have the audacity to think we are all stupid and don't see that 8 years of Bushes and 8 years of Clintons would be almost a dynasty of the same old mess. I personally feel Bush/Clintons are a part of the "New World Order"

    Perez, I understand that you are a Hillary supporter. Kudos to you! Support her publicly, that is your right! But you are a media outlet and you owe it to your readers to be non biased in what you report. There are a lot of media outlets reporting this story, but you have yet to say one negative thing about Hillary. Either do it for both, or do it for none at all.

    I live in Mass. They have the same campaign strategist/speech writer, David Axelrod.

    Negative comments about your opponent are the quickest way to sabotage your own campaign…Bill has killed Hill's chances; we are all now reminded of the Hell they put us through in 1998 - she should have kept him in the background - none of us want to be embarrassed on an international scale ever again. The Clintons are done; Obama's quite smart, but not yet ready; go McCain, what can I say?

    Re: I hope Barack wins because – UMMM, blacks are not really for Obama, they know he won't change a thing, it's just good to see a black face in the white house. White men have fucked up the government, now let a black man do it.

    This is to all of you who are whining:

    ~PEREZ is NOT a reporter! He doesn't have to be unbiased.
    ~He realizes that he has an influence on young readers who tend to blindly follow Barack Obama. (do any of you know what he stands for…some policy details?…didn't think so.)
    ~Hillary is amazing and you can all thank the millions of us volunteering on Team Hillary when she is President and is making your lives so much better.

    Obama: YES WE CAN. Now, as last week Hillary: Yes WE WILL. LOL.

    First of all, Patrick gaves his speech notes to Obama's campaign so that they could use them in speeches. No one is or has accused Obama of plagiarizing, so be careful when throwing around such loaded and pejorative language. And please do your homework on this story. Fact is, you yourself are wholly guilty of picking up stories you had no part in reporting and, in this sense, could be accused of "plagairizing" other bloggers/reporters work. Just saying.

    Why isnt perez posting something negative about that old lady???? i think you could post a lot of bad things about her,she looks like a women that has something to hide….maybe she is the real leader of scientology or something like that…interesting

    297

    Like any of these politicians write their own speeches? Did you check to see if it was the same writer who wrote both speeches? Anyone who thinks a politician writes their own speeches is grossly misinformed. Look at the bullshit Bush has spewed for the last 8 years. Each speech is virtually the same. Stop with the politics already.

    im going to say what everyone thinks…. america is not ready for a black president,A and B espeacially not this one. this man CAN NOT be our president. and to honest i dont think america is ready is for a woman either. its too new. it will be kennedy all over again. Omaba, black, white, purple, orange, is not fit to lead a counrty that much i agree.

You missed the whole point of the speech and of course, I am not surprised. Did you even finish the fifth grade???? Sorry, I will just have to get my gossip elsewhere! NO MORE PEREZ FOR ME!!! D-BAG!!!
