“…The only thing inaccurate thing in there is it was only 3 months time difference between Biden’s plagarized speech and the speech he plagarized, not 20 years. He did the palgarizing 20 years ago….”

I guess objective critical analysis is alot tougher outside of the ‘echo chamber’ of empty and meaningless rhetoric that, evidently, you must be used to.

The sentence reads “…A speech given without proper citation from 20 years ago…”. Inaccurate in your imagination, perhaps, but in reality the error is yours.

But not only is that irrelevant to the point, which is the blatant cynicism and hypocrisy displayed in the discrepancy between the way the two events are referred to, they aren’t even the words of this poster! The post begins by clearly crediting John Ridley as the author. It’s even a link!

As long as you’re going to be wrong AND irrelevant, why not do so where the original author can belittle you properly…?

That inaccuracy detracts from the credibility of the rest of it. You may want to delete that one thing so that does not detract from the rest of what you have.

Here is the actual:

May, 1987 – Neil Kinnock at Welsh Labour Party conference:

“Why am I the first Kinnock in a thousand generations to be able to get to university? Was it because our predecessors were thick? Does anybody really think that they didn’t get what we had because they didn’t have the talent or the strength or the endurance or the commitment? Of course not. It was because there was no platform upon which they could stand”

Sept 1987 – Joe Biden during his first presidential campaign:

“Why is it that Joe Biden is the first in his family ever to go a university? Why is it that my wife… is the first in her family to ever go to college? Is it because our fathers and mothers were not bright? …Is it because they didn’t work hard? My ancestors who worked in the coal mines of northeast Pennsylvania and would come after 12 hours and play football for four hours? It’s because they didn’t have a platform on which to stand.”

“Republicans campaigned this week against Washington . They campaigned as reformers. They promised change, smaller government, fiscal responsibility, an energy policy, and tax cuts that create jobs. It’s as if the last eight years of Republican rule never happened. As if they’ve never tried any of it and never failed miserably. As if the Iraq occupation and its spiraling costs, cooked Iraq intelligence, Abu Ghraib, rendition, torture and Guantanamo never happened. As if the loss of America ’s international standing never happened. As if domestic surveillance, voiding habeas corpus and Posse Comitatus, record deficits, soaring debt and expanded government never happened. As if fired U.S. attorneys, vote suppression, Jack Abramoff and K-Street lobbyists, Rep. Mark Foley, the House page scandal and Sen. Larry “Wide-stance” Craig never happened. As if declining incomes, outsourced jobs, the sub-prime mortgage crisis, economic and energy uncertainty, and their hechuva job responding to Katrina had nothing to do with conservative rule. Seven years after 9/11, and they still can’t connect the dots.

They told you there’d be candy and flowers.
They told you they’d rebuild New Orleans .
They told you we don’t torture people.
They told you tax cuts would create jobs.
They told you they’d restore honor and dignity.

What else have they told you lately?”
