From the Spot at the Denver Post by way of Third Party and Independent Daily:
Independent candidate for governor Jason Clark has let The Denver Post in on some startling news: It seems Scott McInnis has plagiarized him as well. “I was the first one to come up with ‘in it to win it,’ ” Clark told the Post, referring to the Republican gubernatorial candidate’s recent pledge to stay in the race despite pressure to drop out following plagiarism allegations.
“I wrote that (‘in it to win it’) in my newsletters several months ago,” Clark said. “I’ve had that all over my social media page, all over everything. “The guy’s got a problem – a big, big problem – with stealing ideas and plagiarism.”
“In it to win it” has, of course, been around for some time.
Various inter net references:
Though Biden had cited Kinnock as the source for the formulation many times before, he made no reference to the original source at the August 23 Iowa State Fair debate in question or in another appearance.[127][128] While political speeches often appropriate ideas and language from each other, Biden’s use came under more scrutiny because he somewhat distorted his own family’s background to match Kinnock’s.[10][128]
A few days later, Biden’s plagiarism incident in law school came to public light.[18] It was also revealed that when earlier questioned by a New Hampshire resident about his grades in law school, Biden had falsely stated that he had graduated in the “top half” of his class, that he had attended law school on a full scholarship, and that he had received three degrees in college. He had in fact earned a single B.A. with a double major in history and political science, had received a half scholarship to law school based on financial need with some additional assistance based in part upon academics, and had graduated 76th of 85 in his law school class.
Lizard like Newt Gingrich and the whole sale theft of 1992 United We Stand / Henry Ross Perot / Reform movement ‘talking points’ in his 1994 GOP ‘cover story’ of ‘Contract with America’ ——– hmmmmmmmmm.
In related news, Slime Ball Magazine has announced that Mister Lying when he opens his Republican Mouth Gingrich will be the poster boy per the November 2012 cover!
Having had the running phrase ‘LSD the Long Slow Distance training, and drug of choice for marathoners’ stolen from me in 1966 by my ‘buddy’ Bob Anderson of Distance Running News and his lackey Joe Henderson of Runners World, I can relate to Mister Clark’s delima.
But it is a fairly non specific phrase.
At least Professional Basketball coach and part time word smith Patrick O’Rielly will not have the same troubles with ‘Three Peat’ —— a copy righted term.
And we wonder why attorneys run the world and rule politics* ………
