Plagiarising Joe By Charles Taylor
Old Joe joins the ranks of those like Martin Luther King, who plagiarised, pinched work. Actually, Senile Joe, the surrogate candidate, if not Manchurian candidate, did not write his speech, all his attention going into delivering it without collapsing in a heap. His speech writer got lazy, just like King.

“However, some conservative critics are accusing the former vice president of borrowing some of his lines from a deceased Canadian politician, raising the possibility that the Democratic candidate is engaging in plagiarism. During his speech, Biden made the case that the United States is facing a truly unprecedented “perfect storm” of four acute crises: the worst pandemic in a century, the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, a crisis of racism unseen since the Civil Rights era, and a major climate crisis. Accusing President Trump of failure, Biden concluded his speech by stirringly contrasting himself with the incumbent, saying: “For love is more powerful than hate. Hope is more powerful than fear. Light is more powerful than dark. This is our moment. This is our mission.” The speech by Biden – a famously gaffe-prone septuagenarian politician who is regularly blasted by opponents as meandering and verging on senile – was quickly hailed by political observers from both parties who broadly agreed that Biden’s inspirational oratory exceeded the stereotype of a doddering “Sleepy Joe” that Trump had been setting up. However, Canadian media were quick to notice that Biden’s words bore an uncanny resemblance to those of Jack Layton, the leader of Canada’s progressive New Democratic Party, who penned a memorable open letter to Canadian citizens while he was on his death bed in 2011. The letter concluded: “My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we’ll change the world.” Canadian netizens were quick to point out the similarity between the two speeches.”
People will notice all sorts of things if you steal it. It is interesting that old Joe and the other Canadian liberal are basically on death’s doorstep, metaphorically in the case of Joe, but who knows what will happen. Look what They did to JFK.
