Writer Peter Berg accuses Romney of plagiarism

Who is Peter Berg? Who cares?

Love the left slant of the article title......"accuses ROMNEY of plagiarism". Should be...."accuses Romney campaign of plagiarism"!

you Romney supporters are hilarious! never any facts to support your argument.....just things like 'he should have used a colon instead of a semi-colon'. charlesu loves the left 'slant' of the article title? its on ROMNEYS fb page which makes HIM the plagiarist. false wants to know who Peter Berg is? hes the guy who wrote the line and, hence, the guy who is being plagiarized. Not surprised you don't care as you probably didn't know what plagiarism meant but romney must care because he STOLE (plagiarized) the line!! now to comment on the hate posts sure to follow mine (losers can't help themselves) ........WAA WAA WAA WAA!!! (my best attempt at writing what a little babys crying would sound like)

I prefer Berg the city councilman

Plagiarism is the practice of taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as one's own. Did Romney ever claim that he wrote this phrase?

Remember, Joe Biden himself ran for president many years ago. The bid ended on a plagiarism scandal.

Thats a lame slogan. Both Berg and Romney are nuts for even caring about this.

It doesn't matter if Berg is for or against Romney. It's a business decision. Why alienate half of your audience? Whether Romney wins or lose, Berg will stand to lose half of his audience.

Companies like Chick Fil A and Whole Foods can pay a price for their public views as well as their private individual views, if you make them public. John Mackey is a libertarian, an adherent of Ayn Rand, a skeptic about climate change, a vegan, and the CEO of Whole Foods. It was a good thing that he was viewed as a 'right wing hippie', otherwise he would have lost a significant following of Left wingers.

An article I read contained harsher criticisms of Romney than this article. Romney, the advocate for strong property rights, has repeatedly "borrowed" the intellectual property of a lot of writers and singers without ever seeking prior permission. Big News. Romney is a hypocrite!

Readers familiar with the Friday Night Lights show should object to Romney's attempt to equate himself with Coach Taylor. Taylor despised politicians, as is made clear in the show, for their insincerity and opportunism. He also resented the super-rich using their power to coerce regular folks into doing their bidding, as demonstrated in the long story arc about the rich kid whose dad was pressuring the Coach to use as quarterback. (No resemblamnce to Romney's relationship with HIS dad, of course).

At its heart, the series was not about football, but about our obligations to aim to be the best we can be because others are depending upon us, tempered by a recognition we still need to love and forgive each other for falling short, because EVERY character in the show--except maybe the super-rich guy-- was shown to have a good side. And Coach Taylor delighted in seeing the potential in kids and helping them achieve their potential. He did not write off 47% of the population as unworthy of respect.

No wonder the writer of Friday Night Lights was so offended my the Romney campaigns THEFT of his shows slogan.

Guess which political figure plagiarized the Kennedy brothers (with video of JFK and RFK)? Go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIaALKHVrAA

Mr Berg, the football coach said the phrase not you. Nice try but you are no better than our lying incompetent president.

Although "Beam me up, Scotty" was never actually said by Captain Kirk on the show (you can actually check out the facts on this), the point is well taken. Romney's Bain Capital behavior will catch up with him. He says, on one hand, that China cheats. Well, back in the days with Bain Capital he was actually a part of the whole scheme. Is this an example of hypocracy? Yes, indeed. When Bain Capital collapsed he left all the people who worked for him with the bag. He had taken his fat cat pay and left everyone to deal with the collapse. If this is not enough evidence of his character, what is? The whole plagerising thing just goes hand in hand with his character. If he had any moral character, he would have asked for permission. It would have been excusable had he not had first hand experiance with property rights but he did. He knew that it was immoral to use someone else's work and use it as if it was his own or use it for his campaign regardless of the creator's wishes. In his formative years he cut the hair of a fellow student because he was gay. He cut the boy's hair as he was being held down and as he screamed for help. Romney claimed that he did not remember the incident. Wouldn't you think that such an incident would be remembered? if it is true that he could not remember such an act, he must have either done such cold hearted acts many times before that he could not count them or just simply is so cold hearted that he can't remember it. But rather than fessing up to it he just basically said he didn't remember it. Then there is his plan for our economy that economist have graded as bound for failure as it does not take into account a lot of things because he does not come out with specifics. And, at the same time he wants to raise spending on the military even as generals have said that we need to cut down on warships. Then there is the whole issue of his taxes. He refuses to give out his tax information which is something his father did not have a problem with when he ran for office. From the tax information that experts have looked at it was shown that he had manipulated his taxes in such a way that it would appear better for him when he ran for office. There is a moral issue with his scheme when it comes to taxes and you can check that out yourself. And no, I am not a paid Democrat PR person. I am just here to state my opinion and information that I feel is relevant to the issues. Those who attack, especially personal attacks, are often using them to lash out out of anger and have no factual basis to defend their ground. They will use twisted spin doctor logics to say that one thing is this because of that. Everyone has a right to their opinon. But you can tell which ones are just blowing smoke to cover the facts. They're the ones

...that personally attack the messenger and use slick twisted logics to say that because of one thing then the other must be true. And that is what those who like to twist the facts do as that is the only way that they can sway the others to agree. But we can see through all smoke and see the truth. Romney has something to hide and that is not what you want in a president. What else is he hiding beside his taxes?

Does anyone but me remember how in February 2008 during the election campaign, then Senator Barack Obama plagiarized a phrase from a speech given two years earlier by Governor Deval Patrick of Massachusetts? Probably not. But it did happen. Obama said at the time that he should have credited Patrick, a longtime friend, for the passage in his speech. No big thing. Move on.

This information came to light on Wednesday, October 10, 2012 when the Committee of Oversight and Government Reform convened to hold hearings on the vulnerability and lack of proper protection for the US Embassy in Benghazi where 4 Americans were murdered including US Ambassador Chris Stevens.
