Bill Randall -- Plagiarism?

polifrog




Although, lifting the eloquent words of another when you yourself don't carry a similar mastery of language is a human tradition when conveying thoughts and ideas that match your own, politics is the wrong forum. This is not a movie and there is no one is being wooed ... except possibly voters. Even though Scott Brown's ideas clearly match his own, this does not look good for Randall. This event shows that Randall is green and not as polished at conveying  an image as Reeves. Reeves' experience in this shows in his writing if not in public speaking.

Equally as true is the fact that this does not look good for Bernie Reeves. He could have handled this more professionally and not have provided leftist hacks like Bob Geary (indyweek) material with which to sharpen his snark and smear Conservatives.
So goes the runoff campaign in the Republican primary for Congress in the 13th District, NC. Awaiting the winner: Democratic Rep. Brad Miller, who must be chortling at Randall's plight.

Question: Is it plagiarism when you recite someone's else's right-wing dogma virtually word for word? Sometimes adding "Simply put" in front of the lifted phrases?


(Bold added but not the spelling errors)
It takes an extrema leftist to deem the words from a moderate like Scott Brown "right-wing dogma".

Thanks Bernie Reeves, your a professional and a credit to your party. Yes, Polifrog is practicing snark.

Bernie Reeves will not earn the votes of the Tea-Party folks he wishes to woo from Bill Randall with these tactics.  These are the tactics of an entrenched politician. These are the tactics that make politics a dirty word and part of why Tea Party members long for fresh representation.

In short, Reeves colors himself an entrenched politician and harms the liberty of the people by empowering Brad Miller in his less than professional attacks. Randall has similarly harmed the people by allowing this gaffe to occur.

Color Polifrog disappointed.
