Fox & Friends ripped off the Republican National Committee's and DU's latest hit job on Hillary Clinton, building an entire segment around the GOP's specious "Where's Hillary?" campaign without disclosing the source.
"Where in the world is Hillary Clinton?" Fox & Friends co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck asked Thursday. "It's been 204 days since her last press conference and 186 days since her last interview," and according to Hasselbeck, "Hillary seems to be in hiding."

(2,931 posts)to plagiarize yourself. Turning in an essay which you had already wrote for a different class was his example...
As a science major I always thought it was BS... its my content and I can turn it in as many times as I damn well please if it fits the description of the essay prompt. If I turn in freshman work to a senior class I expect it wouldn't get a passing grade anyway.

If copyrights are involved, I suppose you can "plagiarize" yourself, but I consider it a copyright issue, not plagiarism.

(14,255 posts)is actually a right-wing attack. We were all supposed to fall in line ages ago.
I thought Hillary was with her 200 advisers, according to the NYTimes, I think, trying to figure out what she should campaign on as far as the economy is concerned - placate the masses while protecting the Rich.

(99,714 posts)Right now the Republicans control the House, the Senate, the majority of state legislatures and governorships. The only branch of government that stands between us and the abyss is the presidency. The president can change the judiciary, albeit slowly.
I will support that Democrat the evidence suggests is best capable of defeating the Republicans and at the moment that is Hillary Clinton. If the evidence changes I will align my preferences accordingly.

(14,255 posts)I would have thought we would wait until there is an official presidential candidate before any criticism of a possible Dem candidate would be complained about. Silly me. Seems like some want DU to be renamed HRCU. Right now.
Cali_Democrat
(30,439 posts)The right wing meme going around right now is that Hillary is hiding and running away from questions. It's a ridiculous attack because she's not currently in government and has not announced she's running.
So when I see that attack against Hillary on DU, it sets off my trolldar.

(45,120 posts)and I will go so far as to say that had Hillary won in 2008 we would have had health care reform with a very strong public option not just the mandate. She very much believed in real health care reform, I know that for a fact from the conversations I had with her. I do not and will not support her in this campaign should she announce.
