Oh dear Julie, PLEASE stop piling on our second idiot son.
First: I'm quite sure that he's smarter than Gee Dub $hrub
Second: I'm quite positive that it all of these were all coinkee-dinkies!

Personally, I'd rather hear an excerpt from a Wikipedia article than to listen to this man's own, personal thoughts.
Rand, son of Ron, gave an excellent speech earlier this year about drugs and mandatory sentencing. it was from a report done by the ACLU. no one's mentioning this as a case of plagiarism, but there was no credit given to the ACLU in the speech. I suppose there's the chance he did in the prepared remarks given to the press.

I really couldn't care less if Rand uses crib notes. I do think it's hilarious that he pulled a "Zell Miller" and threatened to challenge his "haters" to a duel.
or is it another example of Paul using material without attribution? LOL
from kos:
Crazy southern Senator Zell Miller to MSNBC's Chris Matthews in 2004:
“I wish we lived in the days where you could challenge a person to a duel.”
Crazy southern Senator Rand Paul to MSNBC's Rachel Maddow (via George Stephanopoulos) last Sunday:
“If dueling were legal in Kentucky, if they keep it up, you know, it would be a duel challenge.”

Rand and Marco Rubio are in trouble. Marco still can't get the ditto-heads to forget about "all that amnesty stuff"....and Rand, outside of the Paul Cultists, hasn't caught fire with the Base like Ted Cruz has.
And the first GOP Primary debates only two years away.

Starting to think Rand is NOT "smoother" than his Dad....and definitely starting to think...he's WAY less smart than Pop.

I dunno... The same behavior that makes a person look like a raving lunatic to a normal person probably makes them look like heroes to the Tea Party crowd.
Rand, son of Ron, told the NYT that he'd deal with the problem by using footnotes like college papers......so people "would leave him the hell alone." ha ha
however, more plagiarism has come to light.
The website BuzzFeed on Monday found that parts of a Paul op-ed in the Washington Times were copied nearly word-for-word from an op-ed written by Dan Stewart of The Week.
