Dude I thought that entire thread was in jest.
Aw, don't talk yourself down
Maddow actually did cover the so-called healthcare lies - she just didn't reach the same conclusions as those hacking away at it.

The problem conservatives have with Maddow is that she's usually right and she's frustratingly diplomatic and respectful.

why dont you stop following me around with your insults, I thought mods were supposed to show some class
So, this is starting to get worse. He's apparently lifted entire pages from think tank studies for his books, op-eds, and Congressional testimonies. This Washington Post blog post has a good point-by-point summary for those needing to catch up.
Maybe copious and unapologetic plagiarism is his youth outreach strategy.
That incident completely derailed Biden's presidential campaign in 1988, and it was a long time before he was in good graces again to attempt another run. He even attributed the story structure to Kinnock on other occasions, just missed it once and people started checking into his background. It didn't help that his life story wasn't the same as Kinnock's.

Joe Biden plagerised a speech by then Labour leader Neil Kinnock - and he was still allowed later to run on Obama's ticket?
For the good of the line of succession remove that man!
Seriously though I'd be more surprised and alarmed to find a major political figure -anywhere- with moral fibre

Obama lifted Obamacare from such a place.

God how full of himself is this guy?
Well, i would have used the wiki link, but instead here is my own take on it:
A very ominous sign that you are even having such a discussion. Rand Paul was not presenting an essay on a film or two, but used a passing allusion to those films to make other points. Please remove the hacks from your media (pseudo-journalistic hacks infest all of the west by now).

Those hacks have found more serious plagiarism in his written work.

Rambling and inconsistent
Why is this plagiarism a scandal at all?

Because he is a Tea Partier and the Tea Partiers apparently take intellectual property rights seriously. That is the only reason I can think of that explains why they have yet to dump a single crate of tea in a harbor. They are afraid of an infringement claim.
I do not know what exactly that so-often mentioned "tea-party" is supposed to be, but the phrase itself is not really echoing massive right-wing conspiracy that well (or one of its local agents).
Now if they were called "the self-flogging martyr militia" or something similar, it would at least lend itself to more easily be connotated as the prelude to the rise of grassroots homegrown terrorism in America.

I definitely don't always agree with Maddow, but she's impossible to be mad at. It's that weird tomboy charm thing. You just can't be that upset at her. It's physically impossible.
You could have Matthews, Schultz, Harris-Perry or Sharpton say the same thing and I might be ready to punch a kitten, but if Maddow says it I'm just like "Eh, I disagree."
Not sure if "Tom" is needed there :/
I watched some minutes of one of her shows. It seemed to be a sort of Colbert Report parody that aspires to be actual news commentary without an aim to be comedic, but an undercurrent to arrive to pretty much the same targets.
