	The tweets made up only a small portion of the post.  In fact the preface to the tweet is more than twice as long as the tweets themselves.  Regardless, the entire text of the post, including the tweets, was lifted, verbatim from the Huffington Post.  I'm not interested in rading the Huffington Post.  If I was, I would go over to HuffPo and read it.  By reasonable extension, I'm not interested in reading HuffPo presented as an original thought from someone else either.  If you think HuffPo expressed your thoughts perfectly, fine.  Just note that fact, it's not hard.  You've already shown that you know how to cut and paste,  just do the same with the http address.  <br />

	I don't understand why one would cut and paste news sources like HuffPo as some kind of authority though.  Maybe that's why you didn't reveal that fact.  It's not like anyone is going to say, "oh, well, if this is what HuffPo says, than it must be acurate."  Even if that's what you might think.  Or you may think that the article is just stating indisputable facts, but all writing is persuasive writing, and when you hide the author you rob the reader of the opportunity to judge for him or herself of the credibility of the true source.<br />
	<br />
	Finally, cutting and pasting without revealing the source isn't engaging in a discussion, its just distributing propaganda.  So you can make all the jokes you want, but you're the one that wastes everyone's time and loses credibility when you just cut and paste.<br />
