what a whiny, self-en led little , not manning up to his plagiarism, blaming his staff
After Plagiarism Charges, Paul Announces Office Restructuring
said in an interview Tuesday that he was being held to an unfair standard, but that there would be an office “restructuring” to prevent future occurrences.
Sitting in a conference room in his Senate office complex, Mr. Paul, drawn and clearly shaken by the plagiarism charges, offered a mix of contrition and defiance. He said that he was not certain whether it would affect his prospects should he decide to run for president in 2016 — he said he would happily return to his Kentucky doctor’s practice — and he asserted that he was being unfairly targeted.
Acknowledging that his office had “made mistakes,”

not his mistakes, his office's mistakes!
and they were mistakes, not plagiarism.

Rand Paul should tell us who he's cribbing from straight up. People gonna be checking.
I find it hilarious that RP's habit of mechanically ripping off wikipedia entries without attribution bites him on the ass, forcing him to footnote his own press releases.
No one gives a because Gattaca is a ty guilty pleasure movie and it's all about Obama's epic fail "you can keep your plan" right now.
yep, but here's people give about a (hopeless) Presidential wannabe plagiarizing. The guy just sucks, and libertarianism and libertarians are outright frauds.
Rand Paul to now Ctrl+C Ctrl+V Ctrl+P at dead Breitbart thing
Until recently Kentucky Senator and brogressive dream date Rand Paul maintained a side gig at the Washington Times where he created mixtapes made up of old Lester Bangs album reviews combined with wikipedia “excerpts” and discarded Cato Ins ute holiday schedule memos and then, voila!: America was treated to think pieces about things like the fascist tyranny of low flow toilets.
But then someone totally narc’d Rand out to the WaTimes editors by pointing out that Rand was a taker and not a maker and they cut him loose, which is really weird since, c’mon, it’s the Moonie Times and they’re a bunch of freaks over there, and we can only imagine how much of a cobag you have to be in order to get fired by them, right?
But, fire him they did:
The Washington Times said Tuesday that it had independently reviewed Mr. Paul’s columns and op-eds and published a correction to his Sept. 20 column in which the senator had failed to attribute a passage that first appeared in The Week.
The newspaper and the senator mutually agreed to end his weekly column, which has appeared each Friday since the summer.
“We expect our columnists to submit original work and to properly attribute material, and we appreciate that the senator and his staff have taken responsibility for an oversight in one column,” Times Editor John Solomon said.
So now Rand Paul is out of a job right before the holidays (THANKS A LOT OBAMA!) and now how will he be able to afford to buy Atlas Shrugged action figure toys as Christmas presents for his little moocher kids:Hayek., Ragnar, and Dany-Sue?

The south korean evangelicals that used to own the washington times got bought out by an american firm. the difference in their articles these last few months has been remarkable. the new republic has gone through a similar cir stance as well.
Aren't libertarians more accepting, open minded, and tolerant than liberals?
sure, I remember RP being more accepting, open minded, and tolerant in that he would support the FREEDOM! of establishments to refuse entrance to n!gg@s.

So again, aren't libertarians more accepting, open minded, and more tolerant than liberals? Aren't libertarians supportive of pros ution and recreational and medicinal drug use? I don't think liberals support pros ution or drug use. Neocons definitely don't. I want someone that isn't an Obama drinker to answer my question please.
libertarianism's huge fault is its neoliberalism for corporate, financial, environmental sectors. Since libertarianism is low/no regulation, it's pro-corporate so it absolutely sucks. All the other "libertarian" tripe about s and drugs is trivial.
to answer the OP:
Because it is a silly thing to ding a politician on. I dislike the guy for the genuinely stupid and dishonest things he says and does, I don't need to ding him for the kinds of things that politicians have been doing in speeches for millennia.
I don't think it's too much to ask a politician to render his own opinions in his own words. Do you RG?
And if they do borrow from someone else, attribution is courteous and proper, wouldn't you say? Does it befit a public servant to give credit where it is due, or to hog it all by omission?
I suppose the real answer is both, but you do see the distinction, don't you? Goes to personal integrity, if that is even a desideratum for politicians anymore.

The best part is what a he is being about it.
All anyone has to say with that is "Whoops, we'll attribute in the future" -- but no, he has to challenge a tiny lesbian to a duel.
Several more sections of Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul’s 2012 book Government Bullies appear to be plagiarized from articles by think tank scholars, BuzzFeed has found. As BuzzFeed previously reported, more than three pages of the book were plagiarized from The Heritage Foundation and Cato Ins ute, and another section of the Kentucky senator’s book was plagiarized from a Forbes article...
In this case, Paul copied nearly verbatim a section from an article by Timothy Sandefur of the Pacific Legal Foundation that ran in Regulation, the Cato Ins ute’s quarterly journal in January 2012. In another instance, Paul copied nearly verbatim a section from an article by Jonathan Adler that ran in the magazine in 2010. Another section copied nearly verbatim a section that ran in Environmental Protection.

I still don't get how libertarians are the same as Bible thumping neocons.
Might not be neocons, but take a fairly quick look at libertarian-leaning conservative sites like redstate.com, and the Bible thumping sticks out like a sore thumb, tbh.
Generalizing a bit, their base is largely made of socially conservative people, so it's not surprising.
Obama guilty of Plagiarizing, Hillary also
By MIKE ALLEN | 2/18/08
Howard Wolfson, the Clinton campaign's communications director, accused then Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) of committing “plagiarism” in a speech in Milwaukee on Saturday night.
Wolfson made the explosive charge in an interview with Politico after suggesting as much in a conference call with reporters.
On the call, Wolfson said: “Sen. Obama is running on the strength of his rhetoric and the strength of his promises and, as we have seen in the last couple of days, he’s breaking his promises and his rhetoric isn’t his own.”

Bible thumpers don't support pros ution or recreational drug use. Just sayin'.
That's true, but not all self-described libertarians are cut from the same cloth.... The fact is that in order for libertarians to make any noise they need the bible thumper votes.
So libertarians are being held hostage by Bible thumpers and conservatives posing as libertarians?
the entire republican party is being held captive by bible thumpers. The libs are stuck with the repubs though
