Joe Biden is known for fondling little kids, sexual assault, being dumb and plagiarism. In fact, during the 1980’s when Biden first tried to run for president, his entire campaign was about plagiarizing speeches, from a British Labor Party politician that eventually sunk him (and got the Democrats Dukakis)?. Today, Biden can’t even tell the difference between his wife and sister, so his speech on Thursday was fawned over by the media as like the best speech ever or something. Now it looks like Biden may have plagiarized not only his 2008 speech when he accepted the Vice Presidential nomination, but a Canadian politician Jack Layton from the 20th century.

First, there’s this video that compares Biden’s Thursday speech to his speech in 2008 at the convention. It’s sped up so you wouldn’t have to waste as much time reading the canned phrases and wording again. Now how this year’s speech sounds almost exactly the same as the 2008 speech:

In regards to Canadian politician Jack Layton, even their media noticed how similar Biden’s speech sounded to Layton’s:
Biden concluded his Thursday night speech by saying: “For love is more powerful than hate. Hope is more powerful than fear. Light is more powerful than dark.”
But Canadian media quickly noted that the former veep’s words were uncannily similar to those of Jack Layton, the leader of Canada’s left-wing New Democratic Party, who issued a poignant open letter to his fellow citizens as he lay dying in 2011.
“My friends,” Layton wrote, “Love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair.”
Biden’s word play — delivered two days before the nine-year anniversary of Layton’s death — gave some in the Great White North a serious case of déjà vu.
“A number of Canadians are struck by the similar parting words of Biden’s speech to the final words of Jack Layton’s farewell letter before his death,” CBC’s Washington correspondent Alexander Panetta tweeted at the time.
