Perez stick to what you know best, which we love…. Paris, Nicole, and the rest of the gang…
but really you talking politics is like taking advice from Britney on who to vote for.
perez you are such a fat bitch!
leave barack alone!
he did not copy the speech you are just a fake wanna be celebratard who needs to bash people to feel good about yourself.
those words are actually from David Axelrod- who was the campaign manager for both candidates- he can't plagiarize himself
ohhh perez darling there is nothing you can do Barack Obama is going to be the next president of the united states..and if you're going to attempt to continue to make political posts, you might want to post Obama's comments concerning the whole matter…like how Patrick and he have been friends for years and share many of the same ideas and how Patrick has no problem with it…you also might want to look into the fact your girl's quoted Obama more than once…
HE HAD PERMISSION- AND DEVAL USES OBAMA'S SPEECHES TOO. They are friends, and they agreed to use one another's work.
STOP DISTORTING THE TRUTH.
CNN and many other websites have LONG AGO cleared this up.
If this website continues to be so slanted, I'm not returning and neither are my friends. So Perez, KNOCK IT OFF.
From the looks of the comments below- You are seriously about to lose a HUGE part of your audience. Bad, bad, bad PR move. Don't be a fool. If you support Hillary, then yay. But don't publish half-truths and spin. If you have any sense at all, you will explain the whole story and apologize.
If Hillary has earned her win, she should earn it with the truth, not this crap. That's just being rude to both Obama and Hillary- and your audience!!!
If change means heading further down the crapper, I'll stick with Hillary.
Obama means change for the worse.
Obama is bad news.
Clinton certainly doesn't write her own speeches, although, considering how bad they are, I hope she isn't paying much for them. No one writes their own speeches. And people borrow quotes all the time. I've heard Hillary borrow them from Obama. Clinton has waaaaay more going against her than Obama does. He had permission to use those lines. Face it Perez, you can bash Obama all day, and anyone with half a brain will still like him more than Clinton/Bush. There should be a T-shirt that says what it really is "One bush is just as bad as the next." I'm disappointed in your lack of journalistic integrity, Perez.
Your attempts at bad-mouthing Obama are pathetic. Hillary Clinton has borrowed from speeches, including some of Barack’s! Deval Patrick has already stated that he and Obama have borrowed lines and ideas from one another’s speeches. He also said that he considers Obama to be a good friend. Why were you so quick to wear a Barack the Vote shirt recently? PATHETIC!
Love from Texas! (and I voted today) xoxo.
Perez - If you watched CNN or any other REPUTABLE news show, you would know that Obama and Deval are FRIENDS. They have PERMISSION to use each others words.
Hey fatboy, you realize that Obama and Devon Patrick have the same speechwriter and campaign manager right. You realize how pathetic you fucking Clinton supporters look with all of this right? Instead of trying to play "gotcha" politics, maybe Hillary should get her cunt in gear and actually win one or two primaries. What do you think fat-ass? The only fucking retards I hear talking about this are the brain-dead Clinton supporters who can't win an election to save their lives. So instead they resort to this bullshit.
Re: Liz –
Get a life and stop writing. Nobody wants to see your posts here anymore. You are such a hypocrite, you told Perez to stop bashing Obama, and here you are bashing Perez!!!!!!
WHO CARES?!? He's better than Clinton.
Re: heygirlhey – Perez stick to what you know best, which we love…. Paris, Nicole, and the rest of the gang…
but really you talking politics is like taking advice from Britney on who to vote for.
OH WOW who would have thought one line? WHO CARES! Get over it. Just because hiliary is a sore loser doesn't mean you need to be blind into what her problems really are.
WELL YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY: MONKEY SEE, MONKEY DO
Makes me wonder if he didn't prefice it by saying who the quote was from… I'm sure his speach was longer than those 10 seconds…
Perez, this is just rumormongering and useless regurgitated tripe. I guess we can't expect a very advanced level of political commentary from someone who makes a living reporting on the minutiae of Britney Spears' daily retinue and probably has no formal higher education. Stick to what you're good at; getting paid to slander politicians doesn't count.
Perez, how you can overlook the myriad of plagiarized lines and hypocritcal rhetoric and voting history of hillary is beyond me. Why don't you start circulating that retarded and repeatedly discredited "barack is a closet muslim' email? Chainletters and perezhilton are the only reliable sources of political information, y'know.
Perez you suck at covering politics. Stick to the gossip.
You really need to stop reporting on politics. First of all, you're not even a journalist, so maybe it's wrong to call you out this, but you clearly only skim over the political stories you "report" on. Second, you either purposely leave out important facts or are too lazy to do your homework. Remember that time you reported that Hillary lost a primary but won a more diverse swath of voters than Obama? And remember how that was exactly the opposite of the way the voter demographics had been reported?
Stick to Hollywood gossip and idiotic MS Paint-infected graphics, tubby.
Perez, stop with your gay analysis of politics. Its over your big head. Stick to trashing coked up celebrities.
Please, who cares. They're friends and it's pathetic to make this an issue.
And today Hillary Clinton chanted "Yes We Will". How very original! Right before the Iowa caucus she was "Fired up and ready to go." But of course you forgot to post that. Words are not plagiarism if someone permits you to use them.
Re: PP KISSER – Absolutely PP! Like I've said OJ Simpson could run for Perez-I-Dent and RACIST OPRAH would endorse him, too. I don't have anything whatsoever against a black being America's Main Man (or Woman) but this purple lipped, purple scrotumed, plagiarizing crackhead is NOT what this Country needs, darling. I am so weary of his CHANGE message. I mean, duh! But I agree change IS needed. Let's give the LADIES a chance and that's why my vote's going to HILLARY! Yessirree, Hillary's ALL Woman, while BARACK'S HALF CRACKER! Kisses, Kisser.
THAT IS WHY WE VOTED FOR HILLARY!
First of all, no one writes their own speeches these days, so to pretend they do is ludicrous. Second of all, Deval gave them permission to use his speeches. They are friends. Friends share. I honestly don't get what the big deal is.
Perez doesn't like Obama because he is backing a woman, because Perez Hilton leans towards the femine side, if you know what I mean, if you dpn't it means he is a homosexual, which I have nothing against, I just don't like Hilary
You are pathetic! It is so obvious you are trying to sway people to your candidate. Do you really think if hilary is elected the democrats have a shot????
Poor, poor Hillary. This is what her "inevitable" campaign has come to. Hasn't she just become the most pathetic thing in political history? You idiots realize that politicians have speechwriters right? You realize that Devon Patrick and Barack Obama have the same speechwriter. Jeez Perez, you should really stick to drawing little cum stains on people's pictures.
I recall you bitching and complaining some time ago that you hated when celebrities got involved in politics, that they should stick to what they know, etc. I would advise you to do the same. Practice what you preach. It is this political one-sidedness which has broken our country apart, Perez.
You are in the business of celeb trash talking, stick to what YOU know. Unless, you know, you've been bought out. In which case, that just makes you even sadder than Britney.
i'm very disappointed with some of the comments i've read on this page. i have no idea on the situation with the supposed plagiarism, but i assume he used it with permission like so many people have said. that being said, please stop telling perez to shut up just because he's supporting his candidate. perez has already told us that he's in favor of clinton so it's not like he's secretly trying to sway your vote. if you support obama or mccain then simply either skip over those parts or stop being so insecure in your decisions and freaking out over something this small. and frankly don't yell at perez for having these clips, all perez has ever done is find awesome youtube clips for us to watch, and now just because you don't like 2 clips you'll turn his back on him? if you want to get mad get mad at the person who made the video.
people, get over it… and please stop claiming hilary stole obama's "yes we can"… i'm pretty sure i've said those words before, does that mean obama stole them from me? no. you can't plagerize 3 of the most common words in the dictionary.
annnnnd you think every politician is honest? including hillary? your stupid.
Obama supporters are so pathetic if they think he is the right choice for leadership. If you are paying tribute to the words of a friend or collaboratoryou give credit. He did not. Well, not until he was discovered for "borrowing" them anyway. A plageristic liar and hyppocrite. Just because he can insite uninspired people to feel that he will be the answer doesn';t mean he will be a good leader. It just means he can talk a lot of good game. And now obviously not just his.
Perez dont give up your day job. Your political insight is lacking.
This is a non issue.
Re: The idiot savant – AMEN
Ah ha, Perez just cracks me up: now he is judging OBAMA! Ha! Perez is judging OBAMA for "borrowing"…oh Perez, don't make me giggle so much–considering that you steal photographs that were never yours to begin with. Considering that you have invaded the private lives of so many innocent Human Beings. Considering that so many women have felt violated by your exposing of them on your site. Got enough kicks yet, Perez? Or are you going for a few more? Even children are the victims of your perverse artwork. Keep your nasty white graphic-drawings off of the faces of America's Children unless you want a really bad reputation. You are very close to exposing yourself: as a pervert. What sort of disgusting thoughts do you have, Perez. You go too far when you make American Children the objects of your perverse-humor.
~Rachel Eagle Reiter~
NO politicians write their own speeches!! Can you imagine if W wrote his own speeches? It'd be amazing if he could write a single coherent sentence!!
OBAMA '08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Perez,
You whore! You're letting Hillary Clinton turn you into a cum-sucking bitch. I had more respect for you when you were reporting on Britney and Paris. You're way over your head in talking about the election. It's obvious you're not even posting this crap yourself. Did you give Hillary your login? I'll bet you did you ass-wipe. It's not that I mind that you're pro-Hil, anti-Obama. What sucks is that you've turned yourself into a shill, ready to spout Hilary's latest press release without owning up the fact that you're taking it up the ass and Hil's got the strap-on. Hope you've got plenty of lube, butt-munch. Scratch that. I hope you're taking it dry. Good bye!
Re: Liz – SHUT THE F*UCK UP!!!!!!!!!!!!
He had permission. Plagarists do not.
Didn't I see Billary say Fired up ready to go the other day..hmm. Didn't she also copy Obama (right out of his book) saying "turn the page."
Obama actually wrote his two books, Billary did not. He writes his own speeches. He's had the same message from day one, Billary has a new slogan written FOR her every week.
Intellectually, Obama finished top of his class at Harvard Law School, Billary flunked the law exam twice.
She's such a sore loser, this is all she can come up with.
When is she going to drop out!
Hillary said she will rely on Bill if she gets into the White House..
Please remember:
Jobs going overseas
Whitewater
Affairs
Lying to America about the affairs
Dividing the dems and reps more than any other president has
Failed health care
IMPEACHMENT !!!!!!
scandle after scandle
Can we really afford to have more of the same if Hillary gets elected?
We really can't afford any more of her "35″ years of "Old Washington" experience.
We need fresh blood and new ideas in the White House.
Obama has my vote!!
It is not plagiarism, he has consent. Please focus on issues that affect policy, health care or other relevant concerns, such as the fact that Hillary was corporate counsel to Wal-Mart, which as a matter of business practice encourages its employees to apply for welfare housing to pick up the pieces of their unfare, unlivable wages.
funny Perez, only a month ago you were supporting him…..hmmm
Why not mention how Hillary has been using Barack's stuff…like "Ready to go and Fired up" and "Yes we can" and "change"
Since both Democrats keep piping up with "Change" — I want to know WHAT they are going to change. Both are good at campaign speeches and rhetoric, but neither of them have any substance. Shame
Ur confusing me! First you start bashing obamma and u say u support hillary, then jus yestrday u wear a "barrack the vote" shirt, and now ur back to anti-obamma! get ur act 2gethr!!!!
he had PERMISSION. you, being the media queen as u call urself, should know this. READ THE ARTICLES. stop being such a whiney bitch because ur candidate is losing thanks!
Re: Amy – …ummm…excuse me dumb bitch who is saying that michelle obama is "ghetto" and an idiot. Last time i checked, Harvard school of law did not admit and subsequently graduate cum laude (but your dumb ass probably dont know what that means) ghetto idiots. further, lets keep it fuckin real…u called her ghetto because she's black…thats the only reason…also, if we get a republican and office… your broke ass (your obviously uneducated) aint gettin shit for welfare
Re: Spouses should not be president – Re: Spouses should not be president –
The founding fathers definitely wouldn't approve. They had blacks for slaves.
All you Obama supporters for "change" and die hard believers that he's the new messiah, please find out what specifically he stands for! We know he's plagerising speechs. Never a good thing. If we had another 9/11 on January 2, 2009 who would you rather have in office, Barack or Hillary? I would rather have Hillary. She can and will hit the ground running. I think Barack is one smooth mutha, but not a lot of substance. Good article in Vanity Fair this month, but again — he's a smooth cat and just not "there" in terms of being ready to lead 300 million people.
Why are you putting "friend" in scare quotes? If its okay with him, who are you to complain?
CRAWL OUT IF CLINTON'S ASS.
Because I know that I sure as fuck am!
I just voted for Hillary here in Wisconsin …NO more Obama ….what a let down
Perez- quit plugging your pal HITLERY through shady means. He had permission BOTH TIMES.
Re: Barack and his Vice President –
This is what white people do not understand. They are voting for a guy that will surround himself with his own kind. Barack should be running for President of Kenya.
Re: HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! – STUPID, NOT JUST FOR REPEATING YOURSELF 100 TIMES, BUT FOR BACKING HILARY….McCAIN 08
Get over it Perez
Obama 08!!!
HILLARY=Donna KARAN
OBAMA=THE KORAN
**************
BE SMART!
**************
SEE THROUGH THE SHAM!
**************
VOTE…………HILLARY!
**************
SHE'S THE CANDIDATE OF CHANGE…
SHE'S ALL WOMAN…
NOT HALF A CRACKER!
**************
HILLARY 2008!
**************
BOYCOTT PEREZHILTON.COM!!!!! Him and his misinformed "news" are a plague to society! He is as low as Hilary for putting so much emphasis on a speech Obama made with not only PERMISSION to use by Deval but SUGGESTION to use it by Deval as well! Don't let his low scummy tactics deter you from making an INFORMED decision about which candidate you want to vote for! Perez, you disgust me!
meh.
Leave him alone. Still voting for Obama.
Since when did this become a political blog? Stick to things you know perez…britney's daily routine and eating cheetos
quit plagiarizing bro!
For all you complainers who think this is merely a gossip site, and then you rag about some politic comments, we're in a very heated politcal year! There are hundreds oif comments every single time Perez posts something about Barack or Hillary so obviously it's important and very fucking relevant. Perez, you keep posting and we'll keep writing. I am sure we've all seen enough of tired Lohan's titties for one lifetime anyway. Go Hillary 2008! Barrack is NOT READY.
bye bye presidency… he just blew it .. had a chance once but then got stupid
Re: niiigsmelz – MONKEY SEE MONKEY DO…I LOVE IT!!
so obvious that miss clinton doesnt know what to do with the PEOPLE'S money but to waste it on a lowly college student who sits in the corner of anytown headquarters, going through reels and reels of political speech in order to FIND plagiarism. could the clintonites be more blatantly desperate????
Oh come on people!
Bill was the President of the USA, if Hillary did the same, using speeches from his election, there would be drama! If Chelsea would use Bill's words there would be HELL! Play fair!
If Hillary would have rejected having a debate in New Orleans there would have been outrage! There are a lot of people letting the media make decisions for them and have lost all ability to think for themselves!
If all you can say is, "that's old politics" or "it's not a big deal," each time someone call you on something -I have a problem with that and so should you!
Blast Hillary, but Blast Obama too! cut the bullshit!
As President, the first thing I will CHANGE is the name of The White House. I hereby change the name of The White House to The Black House.
Flavor Flav for Secretary of Defense - WOW!!!! BOY!
Method Man for Secretary of State - M.E.T.H.O.D. MAN
50 Cent as head of FEMA
Oprah as the Director of Intelligence
Kanye West for the head of Department of Homeland Security
Karl Malone in charge of the Postal Service
why is ANYONE surprised. his numbskull followers don't even realize that
YES WE CAN is stolen from ceasar chavez and the farmers union. it's a FORTY-YEAR OLD battle cry that has become their motto. many in the labor movement were offended by Obama's theft of that very important slogan.
the funny thing? the farmers union is endorsing CLINTON!!
only stupid, uneducated people think Obama is an original.
silly silly speechwriter.
Stick to gossip Perez… no one comes here for substance.
Thank you everyone who understands that we all have the right to use words, pharses "that's hot" (not), "your fired" "major" "ask not what your country can do for you, but you can do for your country" blah blah bloo bloo. What is the big idea. People get credit for things they don't deserve all the time, and he is getting credit for what he deserves–inspiration, change, and the ability to unite. Nice try Hilary, it's not going to work!
I am an idiot who didn't check my own spelling: plagiarism. Now Perez, if you'd invest in a spell check, we'd all look like geniuses.
He doesn't write his own speeches. He has a speech writer. Probably the same one! Fire the speech writer!
you are such an idiot, do whatever you can to get those votes for hilary why don't you. I just hope people don't believe the shit you write. HE HAD PERMISSION. dumbass.. they are obviously friends… you are such a dumbshit.
ENOUGH of this partisan candidate bullshit…and Perez I am talking to you. We know you're for Hillary. It's admirable to take a stand. But stop publishing "news" items that discredit the other candidate. Especially when they've been proven false elsewhere.
your honestly a piece of shit perez i want you to know that.
i love how when asked Obama said. me and Patrick swap things all the time. equating his elocution skills with Patrick's. REALLY Obama? When did Patrick steal from you?
how can anyone find someone inspiring who just remixes other people's rhetoric unless they are a totally brainless moron.
Somehow I always picture him in a leopard coat and a fez.
i didn't realize you were a political science major. or– wait– are you a journalist? no? okay, so you must have some background in politics. maybe you worked on a campaign or something.
hold on, you went to tisch?
i'm not sure what gives you standing to criticize the first black president of the harvard law review, the first serious black presidential candidate, the man who is poised to take on the mantle of jfk and get this nation out of the morass it's been in since the 1980s. surely, it's not the merit of the clinton attack machine's claim against him.
PEREZ PLEASE REMOVE YOUR HEAD FROM HILLARY CLINTONS ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah Yeah we get it you LOOOOOOVEEEEE HILLARY CLINTON but this shit is turning people off of your site.
And your lovely (being sarcastic) Hillary Clinton borrows lines from her wonderful example setting (again, being sarcastic) Husband Bill Clinton as well as Barack Obama….but it's nice to know that you are being "fair" (again, being sarcastic) by putting up those examples.
perez youre so classy!
wow, not transparent at all.
go fuck yourself - you're not getting any real action anyways.
fuckin idiot he didnt even change it in his own words… wow IDIOT
OMG - a whole sentence, no way, he should be hanged! We should free all the murders and rapists to make room for him in jail, unconscionable! I mean, the worst thing Hilary ever did was sell her soul for a nickle and comprimise every principle she ever had for the all mighty dollar!
Perez, get your facts right. Obama GOT PERMISSION from Daval. Stop manipulating the words to make it sound like he stole them. I am getting so sick of this shit.
Leave the politics alone, Perez. You obviously have NO idea what you are talking about…
HILLARY 2008!
I HATE BUTTCRACK OSAMA TOO. HE'S SO FONI.
Re: sarah – Hey Sarah you venus fly trap twat: The correct English grammar is "he and his misinformed….bla bla bla, whatever you wrote. Not "him and his misinformed….more blather. Learn the fucking correct grammar if you're going to post on PerezHilton because you look very very stupid right now. Here's a trick to put into your mind so you know what's right…..ah, never mind. Figure it out yourself.
perezhilton.com is officially removed from my rss feeds. get a clue perez. you are not qualified to report/gossip/speculate on politics.
yes he did have permission and perez you have no clue wat the hell your talking about
Re: PAJR – last i checked THE PEOPLE were allowed to have a voice. that includes perez. sorry you and your bigoted, hate-filled communist Obama supporters don't believe that anyone but the elite should have a say, so they censor everyone they disagree wtih but last we checked it's still america. and SOME of us have always been proud to be American even if we're not in charge. unlike Obama and wife.
And if truth be told…Che Guevera was a mass murderer and set up camps to keep gays and people with Aids in them! Look it up! Be informed!
Is anyone kidding? Who the hell in politics gives another politician permission to steal his words? In a heated presidential race? It makes zero sense. Barack wants to be the next MLK or JFK and it's not working. Pay your dues, get a little older, work. Stop stealing from another brother. It's not cool even if he does cover for you. Permission my ass!
Get an education and then maybe you will be better qualified to make judgements. This is not a big deal and if you ever bothered to research you would see that for yourself. I was undecided between obama/hillary and your bias and ignorant comments have induced me to research the candidates and their policies on a more critical level. After careful consideration I have chosen Obama so thanks for encouraging me to do further research!
You know i come to this site for celebrity gossip not to get someones biased political views. I boycotted the site all day for this very reason. Then decided 'hey he can't still be pushing his political views. I'll go see what's new in the world of celebrity gossip.' While it is he's right to publish what he wants on his site, it's my right to not visit it anymore. Which is what I'm going to do. It's just sad because this used to be my favorite site for the gossip.
oh my god, i love how you're going to sit here and bash Barack Obama about a fucking little speech that was written for him (like every other person in politics, INCLUDING HILLARY) when your girl Hillary Clinton is going around promising things to everyone just to get elected. Please. How pathetic can you fucking get?
HE HAD PERMISSION. Stay out of politics or I'll boycott you! if you read real news you would know that obama and deval patrick are colleagues and Deval has used Obamas lines as well. AND clinton has stolen Obama's "yes we can" and "fired up and ready to go" on several occasions… but since you dont know that journalists are supposed to remain unbiased you wouldn't post that, would you?
Obama is not a cool dude. In college, even if your friend says it's okay to copy his paper - if you do it, you get expelled.
Hillary '08!
Re: Katie - Miami –
Oh geez KATIE IN MIAMI is leaving the building!!!!!!!!!! Better just shut your site down Perez!
Get over yourself you stupid bitch.
i don't see what the big deal is, i'm sure he got permission from his friend before using some of his ideas! hillary clinton borrows EVERYTHING she says/does from her ex-president husband, and sends HIM out to speak to everyone for her! sorry that obama isn't married to a former president!! seriously perez, we all know you love clinton, but WHY do you have to down obama? he's a much better canidate!
