When you are talking about running for the highest job in the land you ARE going to be scrutinized.

 

Conservative hero Ben Carson hit with plagiarism scandal - Salon.com

No wonder these dudes always sound like right-wing websites. I get it now.

He, or his assistants, should have read the entire book again after editing but before publishing the book. Citing sources in the end notes is not good enough to avoid plagiarizing. Thank you Mrs. Swarzkopf! (college English teacher)

Not every person will understand how to cite other's work properly, but whoever edited this book would definitely know. I'm not sure why it wouldn't have been fixed at that point.

Just wondering, is this enough of a reason alone not to consider voting for him?

Wouldn't stop me but I don't know his political stances. So hard to know if I'd even consider him even without the scandal.

Is this a "Scandal" or a mis-step?

Of course not.

He was caught doing the exact same thing in college and acknowledged it in his book then he turned around and did it again as an adult. That's not a misstep.

Well the ® next to his name told me you'd think it was a bigger deal :lol2:

Yes. He's a filthy, dirty, lying cheater. We don't need that in the office. He obviously doesn't learn from his mistakes. I thought the goal is to get the filthy, dirty, lying cheaters out of DC. He'd be adding to the population. Hell no, the lying scumbag ain't getting my vote. Dirty plagiarist.

He should replace the ® with a (W) because he is not Right he is Wrong.

I can't tell if your being sarcastic or not, but the President has been accused and caught plagiarizing speeches since his first campaign, he got your vote.

Seriously though, no person who has any kind of intelligence makes the same mistake twice. Once is a mistake. Twice is a pattern. He's too smart to make this kind of mistake twice.
