So the "liberals" made up this whole thing about her going to Princeton undergrad and then Harvard Law in 1988?
Who went to Harvard Law 1986 - 1988?
Those are her classmates.
Have they all been silenced?
What are Melania's scholarly accolades?
What are Melania's job qualifications outside of Sports Illustrated or Victoria's Secret catalog covers?
Talk about her being a lobbyist for Wal-Mart (which she was) not about trumped up arguments that she's not a (very intelligent) lawyer.
I consider myself above average in booksmarts but I'd put Michelle Obama a couple levels above myself.

The media is presenting it like she used word for word. Typical media spin. She used a few of the same general words to get a point across and they are making it seem like her whole speech was copied.
Her handlers and speech writers certainly should have caught or noticed the issue. Especially since she is not a skilled or professional speaker.
There were some great speeches last night. Gen Flynn, Sessions, Giuliani, Sheriff Clarke, etc.
Not much being said about those. But, should be.
A writer or writers will probably be fired in the near future.Last edited by Bayouboy; 07-19-2016, 06:13 AM.

But it will get brushed under the rug.
I don't know a more accomplished FLOTUS than Michelle Obama.
Hillary was pretty accomplished as well.
Melania?
Laura Bush?
Barbara Bush?
Nancy Reagan?
Pat Nixon?

You're bending the rules.
That's what palgerism is.
If you're not an academic you wouldn't get it.
You don't go on the stage in front of MILLIONS of ppl and "borrow" one or two lines from a person in your SHORT fifteen minute speech.
Not just that, you don't try to present it as if you wrote it yourself when your "handlers" wrote 99% of it.
Maybe Melania only contributed "Hello." and "Thank You."
I mean a few lines were 100% WORD FOR WORD
If you back that, you have no moral compass.
I was in academia for a while, and if you "borrowed" even ONE LINE from another person's work you need to cite them and give them credit.
Melania did not do that here.

Wait, are you saying Michelle Obama is better than Melania at some (intellectual) things?
Do you think Michelle Obama wrote her own speech?
Do you think Michelle Obama is CAPABLE of writing her own speech that she will give in front of the DNC or.....AMERICA?

OK do you know plagerism is THEFT in the academic world.
Do you know you can be expelled from every college university in this great nation for doing what Melania did?
If the roles were reversed I could only imagine what TBH would say.
