Melania Trump Plaigerizes Michelle Obama

From what i Heard in the news reporting, the speech writer explained how the exact lines where missed and not reworded, and that Melania shared the same sentiments. Seems trivial to me, even if Obama would have done it.

I posted an image of a letter the speechwriter wrote explaining what happened upstream in this thread. You should read it.

I'm still amazed that this issue is still an issue and I guess I'm part of it.

I went out to the web and searched for the two speech comparisons again and found (as I said before) that in no place could I find a word-for-word copying. Which is an equally thought provoking act. Why?

Because it seems that whoever did the "plagiarizing" knew how to change the wording around just enough to technically keep it from being plagiarism but still allow it to stick out like the proverbial sore thumb.

If someone can disprove this I would like to know, also was there an ulterior motive for this or was it something sinister, dumb or what.

Something doesn't seem right, but I can't put my finger on it.

Also, while doing the scanning, the bad mouthing of Melania I encountered was horrendous.

Trivial it is.

Ok, I did read it, twice. It looks like a good genuine explanation and apology. So what is all the fuss??

It's unethical to take someone else's speech (article, book, treatise, etc.) and pass it off as if it is your own. Especially when it is not an accident, but deliberate. Doubly so when the candidate brags that he surrounds himself with only the best people.

But I didn't take from her statement that it was deliberate. Unless you think she is lying...

No one has done that.

The same folks that have gone and on about some stupid emails...

...enter stage left group saying it's not the same thing and...
...sweep them off the stage and reply the emails were just as trivial and stupid.

Apologize and add your admiration for the First Lady and move on. It was a speech.It's not like she spat in Megyn Kelly's face.

Maybe some false equivalence? (Though Melania's admiration for Ms. Obama is worth noting.)

One incident involves 60-70 words in a speech that has thousands.

The other involves thousands of unsecure e-mails, including dozens of very sensitive security items.

After one, the perpetrator admits carelessness, apologizes, and offers to resign, all within 24 hours of the incident.

After the other comes months of stonewalling and misinformation, the FBI declares the conduct to have been very careless, and the follow-up is no remorse and a request for promotion.

About as equal as the little tremors that occasionally rattle dishes in New England, and the 1964 Alaska quake.

I was comparing the foolishness of making this big of a deal about either. It happened. Let's move on to more substantive issues like ISSUES.

We've gone through an entire week of the RNC and DT telling us NOTHING about anything.

Sounds like Obama from 8 years ago with all the "change" while never telling us what he was gonna change.

And most likely someone wrote Michelle Obama's speech also. Obama's remarks were written by Sarah Hurwitz for the 2008 Democratic National Convention.

Had Michelle written Hillary's Speech, you would nt have heard peep
