Tim Russert busts Hillary Clinton for plagiarism on MTP

[alteredstate]

He just aired the YouTube clips of Bill Clinton's 1992 speech and John Edwards' recent speech.

edited to fix a typo.

1. All politicians adopt themes. Word for word lifting of sections of

a speech is different.

[UALRBSofL]

4. Ravy, that's the point

Lifting sections are a bit different. :)

2. Pumpkinhead Gets It Right

Even he's onto Hillary.

[NDambi]

19. "Pumpkinhead"

OMG! :rofl:

[K Gardner]

3. Nail. Coffin.

[MannyGoldstein]

5. Did He Also Point Out

That her husband is an admitted plagiarist? Plagiarized off a minister in his first inaugural.

[Windy]

9. And did Tim point out that Hillary has been sending out ads trashing obama since the beginning!!

This hypocrisy has to stop!!!

[Tennessee Gal]

6. Oh, Timmy!

Clinton was using a common English phrase in that answer – “whatever happens, we’re going to be fine.”

Don’t think it’s common? Here are a few examples of just how widespread the phrase is:

Laura Bush: 'Whatever happens will be fine'

NBA Star Shaquille O'Neal: ‘We'll be fine, no matter what happens.’

Actress Lindsay Lohan: ‘No matter what happens, we're going to be fine.’

Former Redskin Dexter Manley: 'Whatever happens, I'm going to be fine.'

Former Redskin Gus Frerotte: 'I look forward to whatever happens. We're going to be fine.'

Notre Dame football player Tom Zbikowski: 'Whatever happens, we're going to be fine back there.'

Angels GM Bill Stoneman: 'Whatever happens, I'm going to be fine.'

Former Giant Christian Peter: 'And whatever happens, I'm going to be fine.'

Chicago Cub Larry Rothschild: 'I'm not worried about that. Whatever happens, I'm going to be fine.'

Diamondback Edgar Gonzalez: 'Whatever happens, I’ll be fine because I’m in the big leagues.'

Hockey player Richard Hamula: 'Whatever happens I'll be fine with but hopefully I can still stick around here.'

Leonard Hamm, interim commissioner for the Baltimore City Police Department: ‘Whatever happens, I’m going to be fine.’

7. Now that's funny.

10. If you have that much free time

You should volunteer at a soup kitchen and help people.

[WinkyDink]

17. Pot, kettle.

[DawgHouse]

13. You forgot ME to my son when he skinned his knee.

[alteredstate]

28. lol!

[galadrium]

8. Not change you can Xerox... dynasty you can Xerox. n/t

[GumboYaYa]

11. Dynasty's don't die easily. The Clintons have held most of the power

in the democratic party for a long time. They are going to put up a fight like we haven't seen in years.

That will make their loss even more sweet to savor. The incredible hypocrisy and bad faith they have exhibited since WI has turned me into a rabid anti-Clintonite. They are truly despicable people.

[workinclasszero]

12. Thats right

They go kicking, screaming and clawing trying to hold on to power for just..one..more..minute..

The people have come back to take whats rightfully theirs, screw the dynasties, the DLC and the damned lobbyists!

[UALRBSofL]

15. the DLC represents about half the democratic party

Whereas the CPC represents the other half of the democratic party. I think both groups need to come together whomever the candidate is so we can vote out the republican machine. This includes the president and congress. :)

[galadrium]

23. This whole process is changing my view of Bill

He really lowered himself and destroyed his legacy just for another chance to get in the white house. Power corrupts, the Clintons are no different.

[beachmom]

14. She didn't plagiarize. She borrowed phrases just like everyone else does.

That is why her attack on Obama was so silly.

[alteredstate]

24. Yep

Silly and ill-advised.

[robbedvoter]

16. Oh, noooo! Not Timeeeh! Why would he do something like that? I'm crushed!

Besides, Obama's problem was running someone else's entire campaign

[loyalsister]

29. hmmmmmm

After this expose, I hope that a mentor\protoge flowchart like this appears for every political pair in this country. Trust me, the themes are there in every state government that has a deliberate party with careful quality candidate selection and mentoring.

It's a good thing we're going to make sure that they do get too much guidance, however. Party building and candidate selection should start with ivy leaguers helping ivy leaguers at the grade school level not after law school.

[still_one]

18. Screw Tim Russert. Where was he when bush was lying about Iraq

or when the bush administration outed a CIA agent, or issues that counted

Don't get me wrong, I realize that when Hillary accussed Barrack of plagiarism, it hypocricy

However, whenever russert comments, his only intention is to cause division within the Democratic party

That is just my take

Did he even mention mccain and the lobbyists?

[alteredstate]

20. So what do your comments have to do with the original post?

Nothing --- you're employing a diversionary tactic.

[robbedvoter]

21. try # 16 for that

[still_one]

22. Nothing, I just don't like Tim Russert. I don't disagree with the point

I just detest the messenger

Did Russert even mention john mccain and his lobbyist friends? I would suspect not

[K Gardner]

25. Holy ! Did anyone see the clip Russert played of Hillary screaming at a rally in

Cincinnati yesterday? Man oh man.. she really can't keep up this anger, its very unflattering on her.

Can anyone even imagine what the press and this place would be doing if Obama had "shouted, attacked and SHAMED" Hillary exactly the way she is doing him.. it'd be "Obama is angry.. Obama is a loose cannon.. Obama out of control.." and most notably it'd be:

POOR HILLARY ! Barack is attacking her ! SEXIST.

Sickening.

[alteredstate]

26. So far this is not a good morning for the Clintons

The Sunday morning pundits are having a field day with the Clinton plagiarism issue and Clinton's groundless attack on Obama in Ohio.

George Will called her rhetoric "Huckabean". Ouch.

[TexasObserver]

32. That video clip of Hillary losing it in Ohio will be played at the debate.

And so will the "I am so proud to be up here with Barack Obama" clip.

Then she will be asked which is the real Hillary.

And, she should be asked that question.

"Which time were you lying, Hillary?" will be the question that should be asked.

[alteredstate]

33. I'm sure the clip of Senator Clinton mocking Senator Obama will be featured, too.

Perhaps the moderators will air them together.

[TexasObserver]

34. Yes, they'll show that one, too. Her inner demon revealed itself.

That's the real Hillary - bitter, angry, resentful, and hateful to that which she can never be.

[alteredstate]

35. All three video clips were shown on some of the network morning news shows this morning.

[zulchzulu]

27. It depends on what the meaning of the word "plagiarism" is...

:rofl:

[eridani]

30. Tim Russert is a shitstain n/t

[AtomicKitten]

31. After all, it's only fair.

Lame accusations have a way of biting one in the arse. She's probably wishing she didn't open
up that particular can of worms.

I wonder just how low she can drive down her own negatives. Hmmmmmmmm.
