the message was just as good on that Thursday as it would be on any other Thursday.

What a lame excuse for plagiarism,

it was properly attributed to the author. there was no plagarism.

It was plagiarized. There was NO attribution by jimmie-fat-*** to anyone. With the exception of

Wow! Who will step up and help make this happen??

appended at the beginning, and "God bless" appended at the end, the rest of it is verbatim the e-mail pass-around content repeated at Snopes.com. jimmie-fat-*** didn't say "I got this in an e-mail", nor did he include a link. He didn't attribute it in any way.

You're an idiot.


I don't agree with this whole thing. Jim did not say theses were his words. While did not credit the text's source, I gleaned this from hi original post:

"The following is a portion of the transcript:"

By that, I assumed the words that followed were "not" his words and he got it from another source.

Jimmee posted it as if he were the reporter of the event - from that perspective he plagiarized by assuming authorship of someone else's work. I believe journalists have been called to task for such behavior. His deliberate misrepresentation of original date makes him even more culpable.

And jimmie-fat-***'s failure to recognize that it was eight years old makes him look gullible and stupid. Well, he /is/ gullible and stupid, but this makes him look more so.
