The Biden theft of Neil Kinnock's life
Power Line quotes from David Greenberg's summary of the events:
It definitely drifts into the creepy category.
...There is much more on this event. I remember that he had stolen Kinnock's speech, but was not aware that he had also stolen his life. It does fit with his smarmy character. Biden fits the fast talking car salesman stereotype, but the comparison in this case would be an insult to car salesmen.
Biden lifted Kinnock's precise turns of phrase and his sequences of ideas—a degree of plagiarism that would qualify any student for failure, if not expulsion from school. But the even greater sin was to borrow biographical facts from Kinnock that, although true about Kinnock, didn't apply to Biden. Unlike Kinnock, Biden wasn't the first person in his family history to attend college, as he asserted; nor were his ancestors coal miners, as he claimed when he used Kinnock's words. Once exposed, Biden's campaign team managed to come up with a great-grandfather who had been a mining engineer, but he hardly fit the candidate's description of one who "would come up [from the mines] after 12 hours and play football." At any rate, Biden had delivered his offending remarks with an introduction that clearly implied he had come up with them himself and that they pertained to his own life.
...
It definitely drifts into the creepy category.
I have added a link to this post from Biden Blogscan ... Which links to a considerable amount of controversies of Biden. Newbusters, mentions Neil Kinnock, however that post does not go into quotations. I've placed the link to your post directly under the Newsbusters post.
