If Melania Plagiarized, She Plagiarized a Plagiarizer

HT/ PT A   8:16 am July 19th, 2016.

Michelle Obama stole her “values” in her 2008 speech from a 1992 Book by African Author Rob Marsh – “Business success in South Africa”

 Michelle’s Speech:
“And Barack and I were raised with so many of the same values: that you work hard for what you want in life; that your word is your bond and you do what you say you’re going to do; that you treat people with dignity and respect, even if you don’t know them, and even if you don’t agree with them.”
And Barack and I set out to build lives guided by these values, and pass them on to the next generation. Because we want our children — and all children in this nation — to know that the only limit to the height of your achievements is the reach of your dreams and your willingness to work for them.
………………………………
………………………………
1992 Book –
“...is based upon the application of certain basic truths: that integrity is all important, that your word is your bond, that if you owe a person money you pay him back, that you work hard, enjoy what you do and show a loyalty to those with whom you work and do business. He instilled in me simple, clear cut values and a will to succeed.”

  1. There was no doubt that Mooch didn’t come up with that herself. The only real surprise is that somebody as lazy as her actually picked up a book to steal it from.

  2. The Democrats are very familiar with plagiarism! There are documents however
    that they never plagiarize from such as the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution. Most Usually, its Alinsky and Marx!

  3. “… to work for them.”

    Funny, really, coming from someone who has never done an honest day of work in her (?) whole life.
    The hypocrisy is astounding. Amazing, in fact. No … not really … hypocrisy is expected …

    izlamo delenda est …

  4. I think this is one of the most brilliant acts of “Trolling the Media” that Trump has pulled off yet. Think about it…..virtually every media outlet this morning has a graphic showing Moochelle’s face next to Melania’s. The LOFO voter couldn’t care less about the speech. All he sees is a picture of an ugly cow next to a stunningly beautiful woman. BOOM!!!!

  5. Everyone in the world that just used words like It, The, And, There, Their, Why, You, Is, As, Here, They, and Did (just to name a few) are all guilty of Plagiarizing me. I have been publicly using those words for years! So please cease and desist! Thanks!!!

  6. what makes me chuckle are the msm outlets all braying about the moose’s words as being original and melania plagerizing them. almost as much as the commenters on the stories that make lame jokes about melania being stupid for “stealing moose’s words”.

    news flash: moose didn’t write the words either, she lifted it from somewhere else.

    what’s really telling though, is this all they got? this is the msm criticism of the speeches given? is this the most news worthy items to report on? once again the speeches where right on target and the flack coming out is not about the truth contained in the speeches.

    these plagiarism charges are all a deflection from the truth’s spoken.

    the low infos will of course eat it up.

  7. @Jedi Clampett My initial reaction exactly; CNN was so eager to propagandize they overlooked the devastating visual impact of a direct split screen side-by-side of a supermodel and a wookie.

  8. @ PHenry – right on! first thing that came to mind when I heard the morning ‘news’ today. One maight say Mooch ‘meaned’ it.
    And, to call what Melania said is plagiarism, that’s a stretch bigger than any yoga move.

  9. Watching Melania Trump is a tonic after eight years of being hectored and lectured by Michelle. I thought she was soft-spoken, elegant, inspiring and humble. And unlike Michelle, she loves America. Melania Trump won’t whine about and kvetch and give us a litany of her shtruggles. Who gives a crap if her speech was “borrowed” from Michelle’s. To quote Obama’s speech that was “borrowed” from Deval Patrick, it’s just words.

  10. Who are both of their speech writers? Sadly, all speeches are basic cookie-cutter with personal shit thrown in. The problem is there are a handful of speechwriters in DC who use buzzwords.

  11. Oh yeah, and I’m wondering why the LSM commenters are calling Melania “dumb” when she speaks a handful of languages has a degree (architecture?), when the LSM only champions criminals who don’t bother to speak English and are barely fluent in their OWN language. Spare me.

  12. Melania did a great job presenting a heart felt speech. No, I don’t think she wrote the speech. Whoever wrote it might also have an agenda to embarrass Melania or get attention for First Mooch.
    There are so many DemoRat operatives infesting the Republican party right now even speech writers should be vetted.

  13. First Sasquatch typically mimics human social behavior, like giving plagiarized speeches itself, but it doesn’t do so well hiding contempt for humanity.

  14. LOL… Joe Biden is the king of plagiarism. It cost him his bid for President in 1988. Today, he is the Vice President of the United States. Isn’t it funny how the Liberals are now hypocritically going after Melania, further proof that Liberals believe that anything is okay as long as a Liberal is getting away with it. Liberals are the biggest hypocrites on the face of the planet.

  15. If She had truly plagiarized Moochie’s speech….We would have heard the phrase “My Balls itch” at least thirty times.

    To steal from one is plagiarism , to steal from many is research.

  16. Debbie Wasserman Schultz has also jumped on the same band wagon! Scary fact is that CNN and now Sky report on the plagiarism without even verifying Michelle’s plagiarism from Rob Marsh’s book haha. Since when does her speeches have copyright?
