Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it

No picking the target - VW made himself a target with that speech stolen from the man he claims to be against.

Sorry Richard, my thoughts didn't come across the keyboard very well - I meant VW was probably mimicking Obama's tactics, Rules for Radicals - no excuse for plagiarizing a speech though...

If you were from Spokane WA you would realize this guy makes perfect sense.
We're talking about Ruby Ridge, Richard Butler, The devil worshipers of Rathdrum.
(The Floating Green, Dante's Peak/Wallace ID, the legendary Bunker Hill mine super fund site, and Lake Couer d Alene -- the most beautiful dead lake in America. To name a few.)
It's just another day in Northern F-ing Idaho!

VW loses
They call it an upset because he had more money and Sarah Palin's endorsement. Can it really be an upset with somebody so stupid?

It has nothing to do with numbers - plagiarism is the act of taking credit for someone else's work without acknowleding the original source.
In schools, this usually involves writing, but other kinds of work can be plagiarized as well, including music, ideas, and artwork. Taking credit for work someone else created is - technically speaking - stealing and could be a violation of intellectual property law.
VW messed up when (1) he presented that speech as if it was his ideas and words - not BHOs - and (2) he so blatantly made little to no effort to change it.
And so it goes...

While remarkably stupid, dishonest and unethical, if the material is considered public domain (such as a public speech not specifically copyrighted) it isn't illegal.

Having lived in North Idaho for the past five years, I think this guy will get elected regardless of how many times he fouls up his campaign.

Sarah Palin's pick in Idaho GOP race, Vaughn Ward, loses bid for Congress
By Michael Sheridan

Sarah Palin's "golden touch" seems to be wearing off.
The ex-Alaska governor and Tea Party poster girl could not use her clout to help Idaho outsider Vaughn Ward gain the Republican nomination to oust Rep. Walt Minnick, a Democrat.
Despite Palin's pleadings, Ward lost by nearly 10 percentage points to Republican rival Raul Labrador, 48.1% to 38.8% in Tuesday's Idaho primary.
"I called Raul Labrador and congratulated him on his victory and will support him in his effort to reclaim this seat for the GOP in November," Ward told The Associated Press.
Although many would believe that getting Palin to support a campaign would make that person a shoo-in, Ward's loss may have had more to do with a series of gaffes that plagued his campaign.
The Iraq War veteran was accused of plagiarizing President Obama when he announced his campaign, and he came under fire again for allegedly taking position statements from GOP candidates' Web sites in other states and using them as his own.
Then there was Ward's error in calling Puerto Rico a country during a debate with Labrador. It is actually a commonwealth of the United States.
Ward was an early front-runner in the primary race and was designated as one of the National Republican Congressional Committee's top 23 recruits in its "Young Guns" candidate development program.
"It's kind of embarrassing," said state Sen. Monte Pearce, a New Plymouth Republican and one of his chamber's most conservative members. "I saw people at the store, people in the polls, everybody just shaking their heads."

Unethical, dishonest, illegal, whatever. Using almost the exact same speech as BHO and claiming to be a Republican is ASKING to be mocked, ridiculed and drug through the mud. What a moron. He did change a couple of words though.
