Rachel Maddow: Rand Paul ripped off Wikipedia

MSNBC host Rachel Maddow is accusing Sen. Rand Paul of lifting some 
material from Wikipedia for a speech he gave at Liberty University in Virginia.
The passages in question are descriptions of the movie “Gattaca,” about genetic discrimination in a dystopian future. Monday night, Maddow noted the similarities in Paul’s speech and the Wikipedia page.
Paul was making a point about abortion and how it can be compared to removing undesired genes from the nation’s pool. He referenced the movie as an example of eugenics.
“In the movie Gattaca, in the not-too-distant future, eugenics is common. And DNA plays a primary role in determining your social class,” Paul said at Liberty.
That compares to the Wikipedia entry on the movie, which hadn’t been edited since late September: “In the not-too-distant future, liberal eugenics is common and DNA plays the primary role in determining social class.”
this guy is a quack, he is trying to equate Frankenstein  with abortion, i think he would as well as the party want to dingle in the gene pools and delete those they oppose. their is no extreme for those who it is normal for, racist Dr. Frankenstein 2016 keep your notes for reference.
The Kentucky Republican continued summarizing the movie.
“Due to frequent screenings, Vincent faces genetic discrimination and prejudice. The only way to achieve his dream of being an astronaut is he has to become what’s called a ‘borrowed ladder,’” Paul said.
Wikipedia read: “Due to frequent screening, Vincent faces genetic discrimination and prejudice. The only way he can achieve his dream of becoming an astronaut is to become a ‘borrowed ladder.’”
Maddow continued to highlight similar passages, saying Paul’s speech “was totally ripped off of Wikipedia
