Freeper rationalize plagiarism as "resonate the same universal concepts."
Curiosity got the better of me. I had to see how and who would defend the plagiarism. What follows is an unedited OP from FR. The responses maintain this same level of 'deep thought' and 'insightful analysis' you would expect, but to be fair, I've provided the link should you desire one year's worth of buffoonish thought in one day. Here we go...
Did Melania use a few sentences that were similar to Michelle Obama’s speech? Sure, but that is common. ALL First Lady speeches resonate the same universal concepts.
The fact is, you can go back and look at Laura Bush’s speech, Nancy Reagan, and even Hillary when she was first lady and find the same type of comments.
In a speech Hillary Clinton gave in 2014 for the New American foundation. Hillary spoke of the same values saying,
” my mother and father gave us a middle-class life with opportunities she never could have imagined for herself but which she always believed could be possible for her children. And that was a great gift that I will be forever grateful for, and then Bill and I of course worked hard to pass on those values to our daughter.”
(In other words, passing on values to the next generation, like Michelle Obama said in 2008.)
Laura Bush said in her 2004 RNC speech,
“If you’re determined and you want to work hard, you can do anything you want to. That’s the beautiful thing about America.”
(The same concept of Michelle Obama’s speech in 2008.)
Even Ann Romney’s speech hit the same notes in 2012
“Mitt will be the first to tell you that he is the most fortunate man in the world. He had two loving parents who gave him strong values and taught him the value of work.”
