this is so misleading. these politicians borrow from one another all the time. this is just a desperate attempt on the part of hillary supporters to cast barack in a bad light, which is to be expected from them. and in a way it's good for barack because he will ride it out, just like he'll ride out the republican attack machine…
perez please, in all fairness move on from this topic…
I am a democrat and would love Hillary or Barack… BUT…
with or without permission… this is unacceptable without citation DURING the speech.. simply unacceptable…
Funny how you never talk about Bill Clinton's inaccurate and inappropriate attacks on Barack Obama during the South Carolina primary…. we can get our political news from Fox or the NYTimes. Stick to Celebrites.
Obama should have chosen a career in acting instead. He's great at pretending to stand for things but he has no history of standing for ANYTHING. How is even a serious contender? His experience is laughable.
Thanks Perez!

Thanks for this information. I have now decided to vote for JOHN McCAIN because Democrats are a bunch of petty back-stabbing whiners. You can take your Clinton Dynasty and stick it in your hemmorhoid afflicted anus.

Hillary is the Devil!
GOGOGGGGGGO HILARY!!!!!
FactCheck: In Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C., Sen. Obama is running a radio ad that claims his health care plan provides "universal coverage." Independent health care experts agree Sen. Obama's plan is not universal and would leave 15 million people uninsured.
He repeated his false claim at a rally in Baltimore.
Obama is manipulating voters. What else has he lied about?
Fuck this. I'm switching back to X17, where they know paparazzi don't make good judges of politics.
Seriously, this is getting reallllllllllllllly old.
Stick to gossip.
LOL! He got permission from the guy to use his words, hello…if that's all the dirt you can get on him, he'll definitely win, then - go OBAMA, our next prez!!
i used to love reading your site-this will be the last time as you so obviously refuse to give both candidates an equally hard time-too bad-you were my all time entertainment
I would love to know why soooooo many college kids back Barack. Come on guys I know you are young, but can't you guys watch the debates and come to realize that Obama is a joke. He contradicts himself constantly and all he does is have great speeches about change. But has he told anyone how is he really going to change this country. When CLINTON was in power this country had a SURPLUS, not a deficit. By the way if Obama wins I predict more people on welfare your young working asses paying for it. When taxes are increased I hope you realize your mistake for backing OBama, I hope he does not win. This country will be further in debt and in shambles if he wins.
Do not be sidetracked folks. Perez has some sort of crush for all things Hillary. The same fucking Hillary that supported this insane war and whose husband pushed through NAFTA which has cost Americans countless jobs. Keep drinking the kool-aid and NOTHING will change. Then again, most like status quo in Washington.
What's the matter Obama supporters? Can't handle any criticism about your Messiah?
Stop with the tantrums, and see Obama for what he is: a politician who will say anything to win.
this guy is scary
no plans, he sounds like a preacher, copy cat loser, next condy rice.
Must we dicuss politics on this website as well?! This is a website I go look at to get away from the constant bickering of political parties - to get away from hearing the words "obama" and "hilary". Nothing stays sacred. The whole fact that this website is pushing sides is a HUGE turnoff.
hahah….u don't know anything perez. Face it OBAMA is going to win.
They are friends. Patrick helps Barack write some of his speeches and Patrick uses some of Barack's stuff and vis versa.
Patrick gave the speech to Obama, its not plagirism when you have permission!
just draw jiz and coke on celebs and keep your pudgy dickbeaters out of politics.
Perez so clearly has a hard-on for Barack Obama ever since he posted a pic of some campaign office with a Cuban flag embossed with a Che Guevara image. If he just came out and said his political beliefs about Cuba, it would go a lot further than the half-truths and mistruths you print! Otherwise, he's guilty of the same technicalities he accuses Obama of!
BYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you come here solely for Celebrity content, guess what? You can scroll down and ignore the political posts instead of wasting your time and posting about how you don't care about politics.
Keep posting them Perez! I appreciate being aware of these things, my trust in Obama has evaporated.
Someone didn't watch Good Morning America earlier today where Deval Patrick defended Obama and said he didn't steal and that they have known each other for 15 years. I am starting to wonder if u r being paid by Clinton's camp Perez. And its only rhetoric…its not a whole entire speech.
Perez, don't jump on Hillary's bandwagon of petty politics — focus on McCain and Huckabee's agenda's of hate towards anyone who isn't a white, old man. And Hillary's attempt to swiftboat Obama just makes me realize that he is the change that we need!
And — it is time to stick to what you KNOW and get out of politics. PLEASE!
HE HAD FUCKING PERMISSION! OMG. DON'T PRETEND TO CARE ABOUT HIM AND THEN BELIEVE THIS BRAINLESS CRAP THAT COMES FROM HILARY'S CAMP!!!
Go Hillary! Obama is all flash and NOOOO substance. he's getting votes for snappy speeches that he takes from other people. You KNOW if Hillary did that, he would persecute her in the press. I'm voting Clinton on March 4th in Ohio!!! She's clearly the best candidate. She has a history of change through her entire life. All he's done is make money as a lawyer and has done nothing of substance in politics. I'm moving to Canada if he becomes President.

Barak Obama is so lame. I can't believe people are so easily lead by this guy's marketing. People wake up, you are not buying an Apple computer here, don't fall into all the Obama marketing hype . This guy has never run anything, much less a Country. The other thing is that we have to consider national security above all……..without that we don't have much. Here's a guy who barely showed up to work and vote on important issues. He has the worst voting record of anyone in the US Senate.
Having permission DOES NOT make it okay to copy someones speech. Obama is not original, he's not for change if he can't make an original speech. His campaign is about to go down the drain because are starting to wake up to his false hope.
HILLARY=DONNA KARAN
OBAMA=THE koran

They are friends and trade language all the time. He used those words in a previous speech last year. Do your homework. Hilary is no good for this country.
Re: Less Fat Cells, More Brain Cells –
FYI, brain cells are comprised mostly from fat. Look it up. I don't know if your diss went over so well
Obama does not scare me as much as Mrs Obama … I won't mention that she scares the hell out of me. What's wrong with her face? Her ego is a lot bigger than her husband. I can picture Mr Obama in the White House because he does not seem guetto, but his wife neds to take a charm course or something to get her to become elegant, refined, sophisticated, stylish, in one word - nonguetto.
yeah, and castro is dead. oh wait, he's not and perez isn't actually a reporter. douche! stick to innocuous celebrity bullshit and stay away from swaying uneducated voters.
Obama and his lies are starting to wear thin.
Poor Hillary.
Next she will be crying that Barak stole her lunch money!
i say crap my friends said all of the time. so what? at least he didn't say immigrants would have to "wait in line" to get their citizenship like hillary.
This is not a big deal *and* he had permission! It is pathetic how hard you are trying to make him look bad!
Obama is a nice classy guy while Hilary's dry cunt can only sling mud to try and stay in the race. Mark my words this race is over. Bill will not be getting any more head in the white house.

I think this says a lot!! BIAS BIAS BIAS
WOW i wonder if it has anything to do with colour or maybe that bush's powerful family has something to do with the influence of the clintons!!

if he copies his speeches, i wonder who he copies his policies from??? Hillary???
VOTE HILLARY!!! Barack doesn't want to debate….he only wants to do speeches….too bad he plagarizes them!!!!!
get over it perez, the guy ASKED obama to use his words. let's talk about how your beloved hillary has been stealing lines left and right from obama…"yes we will"?? yeah right.
He had permission? So it's okay that we, the audience, thought these were his own words and ideas because he had permission? Glad that's straightened out.
This is pathetic and desperate. If this is the best you've got against Obama, I feel sorry for you.
Re: Myriam C Webster –
OH REALLY
HILLARY = MOTHER WEARS COMBAT BOOTS
BARAK = TIM GUNN
when are people going to wake up to Obama's rhetoric…he is an imposter, with two years, just two yrs as senator and we want to elect that??…
stop stomping on Hillary, she's proven time and time again, to have a vision, dont judge her on her gender, or her associations to Bill C…i think she can make a difference..
Obama reminds me of the Robert Redford character in 'The CAndidate' at the end of the film when he's elected…he says to his handlers…"OK Guys, now what do i do"…
let him read a little more and maybe he wont have to 'borrow' other people's lines, he'll get his own SOB
Who cares if he had permission. It's doesn't diminish the fact that he has no fresh ideas, if he can't come up with his own speech.
honestly perez, your hillary bias is vomit-invoking. try to stick to things more your caliber–you know, britney, etc.,–and leave the grown-up stuff to people who can handle it.
I have been a loyal reader of your site since you opened it. I enjoy your views on celebrity comings and goings but you have gone over the top with the negative Obama posts. It smells like it did when you were obviously in Paris' pocket during her jail stint.
You have been removed from my favorite list and I will NEVER come here again. Thanks for the entertainment, but since you have decided to attempt to tarnish a possible future President, "just for sport"…on a Celebrity gossip site, crosses the line. I pray for all our sakes Ms Clinton does not become the Presidential nominee..I will vote for McCain if she does. The idea of 4 more years of Bill and Hillary is beyone repulsive. (guard the silverware..if she returns) Bye Perez..bet I am not the only one that will leave your site after this one.
cool perez try not to make it SO BLATANTLY OBVIOUS you're working for the HILLARY campaign!
Will Obama drop out of the race already. He's humiliated himself enough.
if i had permission to use my friend's essay for an assignment in college, do you think i wouldn't get busted for plagiarism?
we've already made our morals flexible for bush, why would we do it for obama? why reduce our standards to accomodate someone who is a liar?
HILLARY CLINTON IS A CARPET MUNCHER.
TIME TO "OUT" HER PEREZ.
IT'S YOUR PATRIOTIC DUTY.
NOT TO MENTION YOUR 'GOSSIP GIRL' DUTY.
I MEAN THAT IN ONLY THE NICEST WAY DUDE.
no politician credits those who write their words, and very few write their own speeches. if they did, then none would be elected, because we'd think they were too stupid to pick up garbage, much less run the country. if bush didn't have a speech-writer, they'd have to lock him up and prevent any public speaking events. this man gave Obama permission, so it is all ok. clinton seems completely desparate and pathetic to hang on so hard to this nonsense.
Usually it's not a big deal if people share writers or even speeches. But it IS a big deal if you have a candidate who prides himself on being original and fresh, then it turns out he's just another recycled poser. Like all politicians.
And let me add, as someone who voted for Deval, having a "fresh", "original" "outsider" elected official is AWFUL. He sucks, and he's just running a state. Imagine what happens when you try to run the entire country with no experience.
HEY SHIT HEAD, HE WAS TOLD TO UTILIZE THE SPEACHES…STICK TO DRAWING CUM ON PEOPLE AND STAY AWAY FROM ANYTHING INVOLVING USING A BRAIN.
BARACK RULES. don't be hatin!
perez its funny as a homosexual u are supporting the same woman who is not as much homosexual rights as obama and all U DO IS put bad stuff up bout obama..u should be part of this new revoultion taking over our country my god what a shame
but it figures most latinos would vote for the non-black TYPICAL!!
Why do the media rarely write anything about Obama, but they don't hesitate to tear Hillary apart on every little thing she does? Why are they afraid of Obama? Has he bought the media or are they afraid of appearing racist? My dislike of Obama has zero to do with race and everything to do with his inconsisent and very brief history in the Senate.
Permission? Doesn't matter. Shouldn't copy anyone else!!! What a scam!
You cannot plagiarize the spoken word. There is no doctrine that suggests it is illegal to speak someone's words off the cuff and not directly credit them. Obama knew who he was quoting. So does Clinton, McCain, and Huckabee when they used a slew of people's direct quotes. This is a political legacy that has been precedented by centuries of speeches. This does not discount any of their words. This does mean they are human and that occasionally someone has said what they wish to articulate better than they can.
Re: Anon2 – Cry baby! Facts are the facts. Your man steals
This isn't about Hillary Clinton for me. It's about him stealing and then backpedaling when asked. It's great to build upon others' ideas and make them your own. But for a man whose entire campaign is built on words and ideas to steal another's and not consistently credit? Wow. A problem.
And for those cuntflaps who insist on saying Perez's little gossip site shouldn't push politics or slant–uh, that's all he does is slant. That's all any of us do: state our opinions. This time, he just so happens to be offering up a political opinion instead of a minute by minute Britney Spears fest. It's a good move.
For me, this whole thing is not about tearing down Hillary but thinking about a candidate whose ethics are now called into question for many who did support him. Myself included.
How old are the people on this site? Twelve? You throw mud, you lose ground. Bashing Hillary to cover up the ethical breach by Obama is illogical.

I've been biding my time, waiting for Michelle Obama's (scary) facade to crack. I could sense underneath it all we had a case of ABF (Angry Black Female) Syndrome. I've been just waiting for her to snap into a crazed black bitch just like when Mo'Nique snapped and got her loudmouth mammoth-size ass man-handled off the airplane. I'll bet she throws a good one every time he comes home smelling like Crack Cocaine and White Man Booty.
Does this guy think we're not going to find out? From what tree did he fall? I hope tonight Hillary beats him by so much that Hussein's head will spin. This has gone on too long! We've had our fun with the guy, now it's time to get serious and send him packing!

i honestly am qiute confused @ this point in politics
Dear Perez and the UNEDUCATED readers….go to GOOGLE and type in Hillary and Plagiarism and Scandals. You'll need ALLLL night to read it. Pretty soon y'all be eating these words (esp you, Perez). Can't wait till you have to defend a party (GOP) that gives Gays NO RIGHTS. You'll be CRYING for Obama.
Shows how honnest the condidates REALLY are. Bulsh@t !

perez, I love you. you are awesome but honestly STAY OUT OF POLITICS! you are tabloids, celebrity juice, paparazzo… that's it!!! I don't think it's fair that you are using the power you have in the media and are taking advantage of the millions of visitors you have every day to put in your 2 cents about politics. Talk shit about Linsday, Britney, Misha.. whatever but Politics is a WHOLE different subject that does not belong in this page. Stay true to yourself and your fans. We DON'T want to read about this…. we KNOW you love Hillary.. fine… so unless she is giving you a little something something to talk shit about Obama, then don't… Stay true and stick to what you know best…
I think Obama is the answer to something new in this country…for all of us, straight, gay, seniors. All of us. Whatever is being played here reads like Hilary. She is scared and is on the attack. She has plagerized most of Obama's slogans because she thought no one was watching him. She needs to keep quiet. She has been a sad reminder of what the last 30 years of Clintons and Bushs has created in this country. I have had enough…..
They have the same speech writer… oh and Hilary uses the same speeches her hubby used when he was in office.
Let's face it… they all suck, it's just about picking the less of the evils.
Where does Obama stand on anything? Do you know, does he even know? It seems that all he does is talk about change but never specifies what changes he is referring to and now it seems he doesn't even change a few words to make his plagarism less obvious.
I'd like to know why any of you support him, is it because he's black? He has no experience and no agenda other than immediately pulling the troops from Iraq, which will basically make the death of every soldier and civilian be in vain. So….I'm going with he's black as his supporters reasoning, how sad.
I've been biding my time waiting for Michelle Obama's (plastic) facade to crack. I could sense underneath it all we had a case of ABF (Angry Black Female) Syndrome. I've been just waiting for her to snap into a crazed black bitch just like when Mo'Nique snapped and got her loudmouth mammoth-size ass man-handled off the airplane. I'll bet she throws a good one every time he comes home smelling like Crack Cocaine and White Man Booty.
Hey, Y'all….if you can't read or think on your own, you may want to go to "google" and type in HILLARY and PLAGIARISM…and SCANDALS. You'll need ALLL NIGHT to read up on it. You may need a TUTOR to understand it all. Perez…you soooooooo suck. Can't wait till you have to defend the anti-gay movement, which is what will happen when Obama is fight McCain. Are you going to go anti-Obama then????
IT IS REMARKABLY STUPID TO KEEP POSTING ON THIS TOPIC. OBAMA IS AN EXCELLENT WRITER AND ORATOR. HILARY USES SPEECHWRITERS. They each have a large and capable staff. Hilary has increasingly incorporated Obama's language into her speeches. There are I'm sure substantive reasons to support Hilary, but this is not one.
Oh shut the FUCK UP. You are a fucking idiot. Stop being up Hillary's ass! Make a note to your SELF=your opinion does not equal fact. P.S. stop trying to be on TV because you are someone who is considered to be better "behind the scenes"
As a music producer, I can tell you.
He's not plagiarizing, he's sampling, plain and simple
having permission after the fact does not count as having permission.
Perez - I specifically remember reading that you were not in a position to "take sides" for any politician and you also have t-shirts that promote the democratic ticket either way, as long as it's Hillary and Barack. So WHY are you continuing to try and make Barack look bad??? What the hell?!?!?
perez, you are trying so pathetically hard to find anything you can about obama. its entertaining.
Id like to see you post some caucas results up here but of course you wouldnt because that would mean you would have to be REAL
Perez, you are proving to be just another black-hating Miami Cuban. Typical.
Re: DRAMA+Hillary=Perez goodbye – Fuck off and die already. Go smoke the Barack pipe on another site. We don't need you.
ooooo wow he had permission who gives a shit he borrowed a speach thts jenky as fukk
ooooo wow he had permission who gives a shit he borrowed a speach thts jenky as fukk
ooooo wow he had permission who gives a shit he borrowed a speach thts jenky as fukk
Whatever Perez. He is friends with him and is allowed to use his lines. The other guy is not mad about it! you need to get over yourself and support all Democrats so that we won't have some McCain or Huckabee in office!! Please stop this!!
its funny how you use to be like " i
You know, if any of you numb nuts can figure out how to start a blog or web business as ragingly successful as Perez's, then please go and do it. If he wants to support kitty cats for president on his site, HE CAN. Now please go off and spew your hatred somewhere else. This is America, the land of free speech and commerce, and just because you don't have a website and can't get your voice heard doesn't mean you need to spout off here like you're having a heart attack. I am sure there are plenty of Barack sites you can go to. None as cool as PerezHilton.com OBVIOUSLY. Haters. *Hillary 2008*
Dear Perez, notice how all the fools who agree with you are using racial slurs or talking about Jesus?
Ann Coulter supports Hillary, too.
Perez. yo uare embarassing yourself. I dare you to watch this, or to actually *gasp* read up on corrupt ms. clinton.
OK, listen up. STICK TO CELEBRITY GOSSIP. A gossip monger posting anti-barack propaganda straight from the Hillary camp is only HELPING his cause.
stick to celebrities. at least your fox news approach works with that topic.
he was given permission to use the speech by Patrick because both of them are friends and Patrick supports Obama. This is just a low blow by Clinton cause she knows that she is going to lose. =D
