A recording of Steph's show on 2/19 will have the phrase.


<Funny, through the use of the 24 hour news cable networks, the web, blogs, and calls to talk radio
the totally spurious charge that Barack Obama is a plagiarist is now out there.

This kind of crap is 100% from the Karl Rove playbook .... facts do not matter as long as the charge
gets "outs there" and does it's damage. Again what is Karl's rule # 1 for attack? Hit the other person's
strength i.e. Al Gore is smart .... spread the rumor that he said, "I invented the internet." John Kerry
was a real war hero, 1 Silver Star, 1 Bronze Star, 3 Purple Hearts, and he didn't lose a man in his
unit .... matter of fact Kerry got wounded saving one of his men from sure death. So Rove brought
out the "Swift-boats for truth" using Creative Response Concepts, Fox, Drudge, talk radio, and others to lie
about a real hero, John Kerry.


So it follows .... What is Barack Obama's strong suit? Public speaking. What would Rove
do facing Obama? ..... "Well you do know he is plagiarist don't you?" So can you really trust him? ... I mean
is he honest? Sure he is good speaker but is he stealing other people's ideas?>
