After calling attention to passages from Sen. Rand Paul’s 2013 book Government Bullies that were lifted word-for-word from a Heritage Foundation study, BuzzFeed is at it again. This time, the site is highlighting portions of potential 2016 Republican presidential Dr. Ben Carson’s 2012 book America the Beautiful: Rediscovering What Made This Nation Great.

One source left un-cited by Carson was a website called socialismsucks.net, which apparently went online in 2002, but is currently down. But a cached page on Archive.org on the history of socialism, contains a multi-paragraph passage, including the section below, that is repeated verbatim in Carson’s book:

Anytime you give to government the responsibility and authority to provide government-made jobs, old-age financial security, “free” health care, and “free” education and indoctrination of children, it will control the lives of the people who live under its jurisdiction, and individual liberty and freedom of choice are sacrificed.

BuzzFeed also found passages lifted from The Five Thousand Year Leap by W. Cleon Skousen, a Liberty Institute press release from 2011, a CBS News article from 2010 and more.

Well, should Rand Paul be the GOP standard-bearer next year, I would think his choice of Veep to be obvious, with the slogan of the Paul-Carson ticket being, We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union...

1. Probably plagiarized in college too.

[DonViejo]

11. Wouldn't be surprised...

if any page and every page he ever wrote isn't now under review. There will either be more revelations of Carson's plagiarism or, some poor aide is about to be publicly spit roasted and blamed for the already discovered writings.

[tiny elvis]

2. a normal and efficient function of a propaganda machine

i doubt the other 'authors' care that their unoriginal propaganda is repeated verbatim

[Grassy Knoll]

3. Fox noise will tell it's sheep......

that it's a librul lie or come up with a confusing explanation for the bobbleheads.

[Ken Burch]

4. Worse comes to worse, they'll start putting a "D" by Carson's name. n/t.

[dixiegrrrrl]

5. Why is he running for a government made job?????

[Ikonoklast]

16. This, so much this.

Q:If (Republicans Teabaggers Libertarians AnCaps you fill in the blank) despise government, why are they so desperate to get into a government position at any cost?


A: They hate government unless it hands out tax money to corporations and gives public money to their wealthy benefactors.

6. Whatta brain surgeon nt

[Cha]

13. I know, huh? This is scary shite... "a pediatric brain surgeon" who likes to cheat and lie? smh

[eggplant]

7. With modern search engines, plagiarism is one of the stupidest things to try to get away with.

Practically all modern published texts have been digitized and indexed by search engines.

I think the real crime is in hiring substandard ghost writers who don't give a shit about plagiarism.

8. Glad he was never my doctor- he seems like an idiot.

[douggg]

9. If Ben is not smart enought to

have original thoughts, he should have the integrity to support those who do for the office he seeks.

[project_bluebook]

10. People who hate socialism need to

stop driving on public roads, stop using public utilities, schools, police and fire services and they should leave the country since they are protected by the largest socialist organization in the world, the US military.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

12. Prolly figured it was safe cuz NOBODY goes there.

[NewJeffCT]

14. Rand Paul plagiarized as well

It hasn't seem to hurt him or his ambitions.

Of course, it was the death of Joe Biden's presidential ambitions back in 1988... IOKIYAR.

[Cryptoad]

15. Once a thief,,,,,,,,,

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

17. When Biden got caught in '88, he was criticized and withdrew from the race

With Rand and Ben, conservatives celebrate them for standing their ground, make heroes of them and their campaigns continue.

[47of74]

18. When it comes to politics...

....he never had an original thought in his life.

[Fred Sanders]

19. Fundies can lie and copy and cheat, all kinds of things because fundies are fundies.

[TexasMommaWithAHat]

20. haha Smart enough to know better

but too lazy or arrogant to do it right.

This should take some wind out of his sails!

[Grins]

21. Anytime you give to government the responsibility and authority.....

Anytime you give to government the responsibility and authority to provide government-made jobs, old-age financial security, “free” health care, and “free” education and indoctrination of children, it will control the lives of the people who live under its jurisdiction, and individual liberty and freedom of choice are sacrificed - unless you give them the right to vote.

Now, what group wants to deny citizens of their right to vote? Anyone come to mind?

[CanSocDem]

22. Corporations "come to mind'.

And since both parties appear to be at their beck and call it would seem that "the right to vote" is immaterial.

The important point is protecting "the lives of the people who live under its jurisdiction." Corporations don't want to do that so they marginalize the most vulnerable. Giving them a vote in a fixed game just puffs up the illusion of "...individual liberty and freedom of choice...".

The placebo society. The illusion of democracy is all that's necessary.

23. The go-to graphic for as long as CARSON is our village's idiot:

25. It's all okay now

He's prayed on it
God has forgiven him
And Dr Carson is rededicating his life to Jesus
