It was far more than "borrowing a few sentences". He "borrowed (or, in reality STOLE) complete works" and presented them as his own.
If Americans had any decency, shaming would be appropriate and sufficient. Unfortunately, we are losing our decency (or sensitivity for right and wrong), as many see little wrong with this.... as evidence per above. As someone else pointed out, this will get you expelled from most schools, including ALL of our military academies. They think its a big deal.
I can't believe I'm on the defense for Rand Paul but I've just gotta say that:
is a pretty minor issue and just like everything Obama says or does is converted to "staggering incompetence" by his detractors, the exact same thing is being done here.“America now jails a higher percentage of its citizens than any other country, including China and Iran, at the staggering cost of $80 billion a year.”
REPEAT: Much Ado About Nothing (borrowed from Shakespeare)
Oh, and your comment "It was far more than "borrowing a few sentences" is a borrowed comment since it appears on google quite a few times. So, should you be shamed as a plagiarist?
Be reasonable.
