PLAGIARISM!! at its best!! not looking good for Obama.
WHO CARES!!! It is a great speech and good words!! Dont hate!!! OBAMA 08
it happened 3 months ago. if no real legitimate news venue had picked it up then, why should you, a celebrity gossip writer bring it up now.
stop pushing your hillary agenda. what makes you so qualified to do so? and even if you insist on pushing for the stone cold heartless bitch, do it by talking about her, not ripping on obama.
Perez. 1) I love you completely; but 2) you gotta stop posting these straw grabbing cheap shots at Barack. He's gonna be the democratic nominee, so if you don't want John "100 years in Iraq" McCain, then you are gonna have to vote for him.
Seriously I do not get good feelings from Obama as is. I see corruption in his future and now that the KKK is backing him up I am even more concerned. I need to move out of this country and QUICK!!!!!
I'm surprised so many Obama supporters can read. Do you all have govt subsidized computers too. I didn't realize Best Buy accepted food stamps.
Again, trying to veil Hilary pumping.
This if OFN first of all and second I'm sure Hilary wrote little to none of her speech.
I support neither but like Obama based on the bashing of this site more. When the primary comes I am going to register to vote for Obama just because of this site. Thanks for helping me make my decision. Go Obama!
it's not plagiarism if you have permission. watch your language!
GO FUCK YOURSELF PEREZ YOU NELLY SPIK QUEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#1… WHAT "he had permission" the the fuck is that suppose to mean? He couldn't figure out a way to say it??? yup he's a numb nuts…
VOTE HILARY she has more than any of these fuckwads.
Good thing you're a joke of a reporter/journalist. No person of real substance takes you seriously. I pray your 15 minutes of being on the d-list expire soon and you fade away. You lack a thorough understanding of what you're actually reporting on. This from the guy who can't even use his real name and spoofs Paris Hilton of all people. Good thing you're not posting the youtube video of Hil's campaign contribution fraud involving convicted felon, Peter Paul! Wouldn't want to be fair and balanced now would we!
quit being a bitch, perez. it's been over for bill's husband for a couple weeks now.
STFU you dumb fuck
Perez, you are ridiculous. Just admit, you are fucking the Clintons. Leave Barack alone. Stick to drawing on pictures.
perez, you are an idiot. stick to talking about celebrities. you don't know shit about politics. although… anyone who actually cares about what your political opinions are is a moron and so it's unlikely that it even matters. I'm pretty sure anyone with half a brain could care less who you vote for.
This is trash. You're pathetic.
HEY PEREZ. WHY DON'T YOU TRY AND GET WITH THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA. . . YOU ARE RAPIDLY LOOSING FANS. . . YOU OBVIOUSLY DON'T REALLY CARE ABOUT THE ELECTIONS, BECAUSE YOUR DUMB SHOW IS AIRING DURING THE RESULTS FROM THE PRIMARIES TONIGHT. . GOOD THINKING.
nbc news projects barack obama as the winner of the wisconsin primary. booyah bitches! smoke and mirrors motherfucker's ain't working this time.
PEACE HILLARY!
This is a sure sign that Obama will be the nominee and will win the POTUS in November, when stupid bloggers are trying SO hard to smear Obama with anything they can think of.
This is all you have?
Kind of pathetic and amusing at the same time.
So guess what Mario? Tonight you can watch Hilary lose WI, and let's see what kind of school yard smear you and the Hilary brigade can dream up for the rest of the week.
Perez, stick to celebrity gossip. You don't know what the f you are talking about. If you are going to do hard news and pretend you are a real journalist, why don't you get your facts straight. By the way, Castro is resigning? I thought he was dead. You are an idiot and you are an embarrassment to the Clinton campaign with your desperate, childish uneducated attempts to discredit Obama. Either of them would be a million times better than GWB.
Such desperation from Clinton and people who back her, like you, Perez, is absolutely pathetic. You have lost all respect for me and apparently for yourself, seeing that you're propagating such drivel just like any other corporate media whore. This type of bullshit approach might have worked in the past, but people have finally been awakened. GO OBAMA!
dude, i usually agree with your celebrity bashing. its usually fun… but in this you are falling into a political trap and continue to play into the bullshit. if you look at what patrick has said on the issue, he and obama are FRIENDs because they share the same ideas on issues. you think bush wrote ANY of the shit that came out of his mouth? the man couldnt pronounce nuclear. stop giving obama shit for merely reiterating commonly held beliefs and perhaps phrasing them in similar ways. are you nervous for your hilary that obamas getting shit done?
Next thing you know when i come to this site hilary is going to be the new background. Seriously, i come to this site for the sole sadistic purpose of finding out which celebrity has lost there clothes, checked into rehab, or had a new kid. Smear campaigns dont suit you. If all else fails stick to what you know. Im sure most people here know that you cant be persuaded to vote for Clinton by a man who draws cum on pictures for a living. I love you Perez but your no CNN.
Clearly you do not watch any reputable news station. Gov. Patrick has stated that Obama had permission. The two men are friends! You should go and work for the Clinton campaign and shut your website down. You are clearly biased! What about the speeches she has borrowed? Where are your headlines about that?
A Che lovin' plagarist. Oh yeah..let me give him my vote. NOT!
he had permission and the governer said so publically, http://cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com/up/player/popup/?rn=3906861&cl=6507472&ch=4226716&src=news
I bet you won't post that! pretty dirty perez
i dont expect you to be intelligent enough to talk about politics, PEREZ, so shut up and stick to what you know or else you will be losing alot of reader to the hundreds or other gossip blogs.
You are a FREAKING idiot if you haven't read the news and KNOW that Gov. Patrick gave him PERMISSION to use his speech!!! DUH! Anyone who has ever gone to college knows that it's not plagiarism if credit is given where credit is due. Leave the politics to those who actually know what the fuck they are talking about!
PEREZ SHOULD YOU BE THROWING STONES AT GLASS HOUSES?
REMEMBER YOUR LITTLE LAWSUIT WITH X-17…
NOW, THAT WAS REAL PLAGIARISM

Re: erin – Are you ready for another 100 years in Iraq, Erin? How about more wars? McCain has promised that already. If that is what you really want, please vote for McCain.
dear perez, you're a sell out. ~monica
SO THE FUCK WHAT!!! HE IS RUNNING THE SHIT OUT OF HIS CAMPAIN AND I HOPE HE WINS FUCK U PEREZ
Re: Shani –
Leave it to a jackass to use racism to justify their actions!
barack won wisconsin despite you- irrelevant bitch.
LMAO at the racists
who cares if he used the same speech as him. it was a good speech and on top of it they are friends, have the same speech writer, and he said he could use it and he doesnt care that he used it… so who cares!
Obama won WI!!! Go Obama!!!
im telling u people barack has nooooooo idea how to run a country, and his wife was quoted as saying she isnt even proud of this country, yeaaaa i want them in our white house….. MCCAIN 08!!!!!!
Re: idiot – THANK YOU! People are so stupid, they start bashing without even having a clue. Next time Perez should do his research and stop trying to pretend like there is dirt on Obama. It is a low blow and should not be payed attention to, there are way more important issues to be focused on.
This is SUCH a nonstory– unlike, say, the fact he WON AGAIN tonight. Get used to it Perez, Hillary is done.
I'm sure all you Obama groupies wouldn't be telling Perez to stick to celebrity gossip if he was part of the Obama herd. What a bunch of hypocrites. If you want to see people kiss Obama's ass, why don't you just turn on any news station. They're all falling all over themselves to kiss his ass. Pathetic!
Love this fighting amoungst the Democrats…
GO MCCAIN!!!!!
PEREZ PLEASE STICK TO WHAT U KNOW. VOTE FOR HIL(BILLY) IF YOU WANT BUT PLEASE STATE THE FACTS CORRECTLY!!! AND YOU KNOW YOUR FAT SLOPPY ASS WOULD LOVE SOME FRESH SQUEEZED OBAMA JUICE IN YOUR MOUTH

woohoo! keep on spreading lies and smears, perez! The smart people aren't listening. Jump on board the OBAMA-TRAIN. ALL ABOARD!!!!
I support Obama, but in truth, speech plagerism should not be allowed or be taken lightly, if this was an academic setting, he would be expelled! How is this different?
Sure, maybe you can blame the writer, but what does t say about politicians who read off a peice of card that someone else wrote for them and they do it unquestionlingly

Being up against the Clinton attack machine is a true test of Senator Obama's character, courage and strength. The TRUTH here is as reported by ABC News. Obama credited Mr. Patrick when he used the line at a previous campaign event in New Hampshire. He said "But you know in the end, don't vote your fears. I'm stealing this line from my buddy Deval Patrick who stole a whole bunch of lines from me when he ran for the governorship, but it's the right one, don't vote your fears, vote your aspirations. Vote what you believe." GET IT RIGHT PEREZ. THIS IS TOO IMPORTANT.
Re: bgirl –
Please read a book.
It was from a writer that he had permission from. Perez needs to stop hating about Obama, he just won Wisconsin and is well on his way to becoming the president of the United States

Umm, most great speech writers/givers plagiarize ya dip twat. MLK, JFK to name a couple– so study up on history before you start spouting. Plus, he had permission and his friend Mr. Patrick who also borrows from Obama. Why am I lecturing you? This is an f*#$ing gossip site– not exactly hard-hitting, well-informed political discourse going on here.
Barack took WI despite the "plagiarizing". Maybe people are just sick of Hillary's freaky bug eyes. If she were to win the nomination she would never win the presidency. Her "strengths" that she has been touting over Obama actually play right into McCain's hands. McCain has loads more experience and is more of a uniter. Republicans HATE the Clintons and they will never work with Billary.
Stick to pictures of Lindsey Lohan's tits.
OBAMA IS ALL TALK AND NO ACTION EVEN IF HE GOT PERMISSION TO USE SOMEONE ELSES "TALK."
Poor pathetic Perez…Are you posting this cause some latino jefe told you to? Why dont you stick to bashing and outing celebs and leave the politics to people who can think for themselves?
Criticize him on his issues and policies if you must (but you probably cant cause i am sure you dont even know what they are), but plagiarism? Come one….this is old and desperate grasping from a camp that is quickly going under.
Ode to Perez, who pretends to bash
and kisses up to those who give him cash
Another whore living for backlash
And all of us, addicted to his trash.
The Hilary/Obama thing has taken you too far, Perez. Stay where you belong. IN THE GUTTER.
wisconsin loves obama! perez, i love you, but read the news.
He not only had permission, Patrick TOLD HIM TO USE IT…
HA! Big H bit it hard tonight! No excuses!
HE HAD PERMISSION FROM DEVAL ,iT IS AMAZING HOW YOU ONLY POST OBAMA VIDEOS
Obama just won Wisconsin! Clearly your childish attacks aren't having any actual effect on voters. I'll be joining hundreds of commenters in boycotting your site now. Seriously, pull your head out of your ass, Perez!
PEREZ PLEASE…GET OFF BARACK'S DICK! YOU SURE ARE RIDING HIM HARD… FOR SOMEONE WHO POSTED A PICTURE OF HIS FAT ASS WEARING A BARACK T-SHIRT! FUCKING HYPOCRITE . SHOULDN'T YOUR CUBAN ASS BE IN SOUTH BEACH SOMEWHERE CELEBRATING THAT CASTRO CHOSE TO STEP DOWN!??????????????????????? DUMB FAT FUCK
yeah well. looks like obama just won wisconsin, douche.
Look Perez,
We know that you are supporting Hillary Rodham-Clinton….why must you slam Obama?
I'm guessing neither can beat John McCain….
Obama wins Wisconsin! Thanks Perez, I think the more you support Hillary the more the rest of the country turns against her. Keep it up!
OK… this is going a little too far. It would have been smarter for Barack to say "As my friend Deval Patrick once said…" and then launch into the borrowed words. But Mr. Patrick has clearly stated that he asked Barack to use those words in his speech. That means that it was not plagiarized material since it was used with permission.
I love Barack AND Hillary… but let's be fair… Hillary has swiped lines from other people as well.
And NO politicians begin a speech by saying, "I didn't write this speech, by the way…" It is understood that politicians sometimes employ speech writers. Should those politicians also be called plagiarizers?
Come on, Perez. The democratic candidates take enough shit from the Republicans. Even if Barack is not your choice for President of the US, please don't get caught up in the nasty name calling game. It only further divides our party. Why not try to bring people together instead?
Obama just won Wisconsin.
Shut the fuck up, Perez.
Seriously P, not good enough.
Another poor attempt at sabotage…give it up, fatty, Hillary's yesterday's news
Stick to what you're good at, gossip.
This coming from a man who gets his information from a ton of other sources.
You're bias is plain to see. You're obviously not a journalist but since you are clearly looking for something that doesn't exist, you should listen to Deval Patrick in his own words.

*****I agree with the others, Perez has a big hard-on for Clinton, so we're supposed to put up with this Obama bashing bullshit. I go to this site to read about celebs, not to hear Perez's political views. What's scary is that some people are so f-ing dumb, they might actaully take into consideration Perez's opinion, which is what's really wrong. Clinton, McCain, Obama, Huckabee, ___, decide for yourself and be informed. Please!!!! *****
Seems like Perz,the pile of shit he is,can't stop from being a Clintonista bitch,who couldn't tell the truth if it kicked him in his diseased mangina.
Hey Fatboy:
Barack wins Wisconsin. Barack wins Hawaii.
Hilary is through Biotch!
Maybe she can be on your next VH1 special?
Dont think for one minute that he will do a good job as a President. Look how he cannot even think for himself. I love the whole idea of change, but change is inevitable.. It will happen regardless of him.
Fuck you Perez! I worked for the Clinton White House and Hillary SUCKS! She lies! Remember Whitewater? And, she is an entrenched politician. We need real change and Obama fits the bill. You are such a fucking trouble maker. Maybe if you actually did your research about the things that mattered instead of trying to suck the publicity tit, you might know what you are talking about.
But yet still Hillary is losing Wisconsin. Oh shhiiiiiiiiittttttt, no one cares that he borrows words from friends.
Are you on Hillary's payroll? Doubt it, seeing as she had to put 5 million of her own dollars into the campaign. tehe
Try as you might Perez! There is not much you can do to make this guy look bad! Your preference to Hillary doesn't seem to be making much of an impact here, so GIVE IT UP!
Clinton loses another state. Obama in 08
the day he is elected is the day the US falls
if obama is so worried about homeowners, why didn't HE start a bill to prevent foreclosures like CLINTON DID?
if obama cares about the troops, why didn't he vote for funding to give the troops armor?
oh and if you're gay, good luck. obama HATES gays and will NOT pass gay marriage.
if you want health insurance? you will be one of 15million LEFT OUT by Obama's plan.
oh. and keep repeating OTHER people's quotes to pretend it's your own greatness. ONLY mindless drones will buy it. hi there mindless drones!
oh shut the fuck up you sore loser. was there no other oh so important news in the world of celebrities going on? desperation is not becoming perez.
and once again like the AGGRESSIVE THUG he is he took the stage BEFORE clinton had finished speaking.
this is NOT a diplomatic or peaceful man. even Bush knew better.
Team Hillary! =)
OK PEREZ. I'm a faithful viewer of this site, and now, I'm really mad.
STOP BADMOUTHING OBAMA ABOUT STUFF YOU DON'T KNOW.
OBAMA does not PLAGARIZE. He NEVER has.
CLINTON takes money from COMPANIES.
CLINTON takes the side of COMPANIES.
CLINTON kisses the ass of COMPANIES.
AND CLINTON plays the SAME NASTY POLITICAL GAMES that GEORGE BUSH plays.
THIS is ANOTHER ATTEMPT by WITCHARY CLINTON to find ANY LITTLE NASTY thing about other people. AND it ain't workin. GUESS WHO WON WISCONSIN?????????????????????????????? NOT WITCHARY CLINTON.
SHE's is the kind of politics you want???? I DON'T THINK SO.
OBAMA 2008
OBAMA 2008
OBAMA 2008 — HE WILL WIN, PEREZ, WITHOUT YOUR VOTE.
Oh Perez honey… I love you, but this is the pot and the kettle.
It isn't plagarism if the person who said those words is now helping in his campaign, writing some of his speeches and is a close friend. Permission makes a charge of plagarism a little skewed.
OBAMA WINS ANOTHER ONE!!
Who Cares.
As an Obama supporter, I actually find it quite encouraging that the Clinton supporters are latching onto this non-story and blowing it way out of proportion.
It shows how desperate they are and how little substance there is in their attacks on Obama.
I've always thought I would vote for Hillary in November if she actually became the nominee-in spite of my many hesitations about her. At this point, I'm not so sure.
Go BARACK!! LIKE hilary doesn't steal shit from Bill. STOP HATING!! BARACK 08
Perez do you not think your girl Hillary borrows anything from her hubby. Give it a break!!!!!!!!
calling this plaigerism is like saying Mrs. Dalloway is stolen from Ulysses. it was inspired, if you want to call it anything at all
This is not even a blip on my radar, and if this is how the Clinton's try to knock him off stride then they must be living back in their third grade antics days. Puh-leez! Give me a fickin' break.
Perez, stop with the Obama bashing. It's getting old and stupid.
Obama '08!
well, perez, looking like your girl hillary lost.
AGAIN.
HA!
dumbass.
well, perez, looking like your girl hillary lost.
AGAIN.
HA!
dumbass.
can't hold it against him, permission or not… he does after all have people writing speeches for him… how do you think bush convinced those idiots out there to vote for him? TEXANS FOR OBAMA!!
Re: Amanda is MAD at Perez – bubye amanda.
take your facist politics and go elsewhere!
GO HILARY!
I'm not even voting for the man, I'm actually voting for the other side, but I have to say that this is a non starter issue for me. By that I mean that I am not bothered by this and it is nothing to get worked up about. Hillary, Bill and the pundits look patheic by trying to make this a reason that his campaign should go bust. Not gonna buy it.
Electing Obama would be very dangerous for our country. The ignorant young college students who are rooting for Obama never cease to amaze me.
Looks like obama won wiscounsin…THANKS SO MUCH!!!! You helped us…in your own little way…and you dont even know it!!!!:-) Thanks again!!!!Luv ya!!! xoxoxxx
