Anyone hear McCain plagiarize Winston Churchill - "we shall fight them in..." |
|
Talk radio play remarks made by McCain today about health care reform. He was blatantly plagiarizing Winston Churchill's famous speech against the Nazis.
says McCain,
"We will fight them in the states; we will fight them in the towns; we will fight them in the senate"
about all he left out was "we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be"
I have not heard anyone in the media notice the parallels in McCain's comments. Could journalists be that ignorant, as to recognize that famous historical speech?

4. Winston Churchill would have a fucking heyday with McCain... |
|
This is from my Facebook profile:
"The discoveries of healing science must be the inheritance of all. That is clear. Disease must be attacked, whether it occurs in the poorest or the richest man or woman simply on the ground that it is the enemy; and it must be attacked just in the same way as the fire brigade will give its full assistance to the humblest cottage as readily as to the most important mansion. Our policy is to create a national health service in order to ensure that everybody in the country, irrespective of means, age, sex, or occupation, shall have equal opportunities to benefit from the best and most up-to-date medical and allied services available."
--Sir Winston Churchill, in a 1944 speech to the members of Royal College of Physicians in London
