Joe Biden's plagiarism problem
Littleguy
Political insiders have long known about Joe Biden getting caught
plagiarizing almost word-for-word a speech given by British Labour
politician Neil Kinnock. In fact, that killed his 1988 presidential
campaign.
But a more serious plagiarism charge has been out there even longer -
that he plagiarized in law school. That is something that can get you
thrown out if proven.
Sweetness & Light remembers this 1987 New York Times article:
Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr., a Democratic Presidential candidate, was
accused of plagiarism while in his first year at Syracuse University
Law School, academic officials familiar with Mr. Biden's record said
today. [....]
According to the people familiar with the record of the 44-year-old
Senator from Delaware, he was called before the disciplinary body at
the law school during his first year because of charges that he had
committed plagiarism on a paper. Mr. Biden entered the school in 1965
and graduated in 1968.
CBS News tonight quoted an aide to Mr. Biden as saying he had been
exonerated. However, an academic official said Mr. Biden had been
found guilty, "threw himself on the mercy of the board" and promised
not to repeat the offense. This, according to the official, persuaded
the board to drop the matter and allow Mr. Biden to remain in law
school. Mr. Biden's office declined to clarify the circumstances
surrounding the case, saying the Senator had insisted on handling the
matter himself at the news conference. [....]
Unsurprisingly, the New York Times article actually downplays the
Kinnock plagiarism. For Mr. Biden didn’t just plagiarize his words, he
plagiarized his life.

It is certainly your right to do as you please when it comes to where
you post your responses and the text they contain. For instance, I
could be posting this to "misc.news.internet.discuss",
"alt.sex.pedophilia.swaps" and "alt.christnet.nudism".

"Joe Biden's plagiarism problem", when all they have is one unnamed
official who was contradicted by several others. lol
The procession of rabid hateful liars in the comments section handily
illustrates the purpose of the website and the intelligence and honesty of
its readers. ;)
