Report: Paul Ryan’s ‘brown bag’ CPAC story stolen from a book about a homeless child


Tea Party Rep. Paul Ryan’s (R-WI) anecdote criticizing government school lunch programs was apparently lifted from a book about an encounter between a student and a private benefactor.

Wonkette reported on Thursday that Ryan’s remarks at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Thursday regarding a “young boy from a very poor family” relying on “a government program” for his lunches was strikingly similar to the premise of the book An Invisible Thread, which recounted author Laura Schroff’s 1986 meeting with an 11-year-old “homeless panhandler” named Maurice, who was receiving lunches through a school program.

Schroff wrote that she offered Maurice a choice between giving him enough money for a week, or taking him to a supermarket to buy him enough food to cover the same amount of time. The book then detailed this exchange:

“If you make me lunch,” he said, “will you put it in a brown paper bag?”

I didn’t really understand the question. “Do you want it in a brown paper bag?” I asked. “Or how would you prefer it?”

“Miss Laura,” he said, “I don’t want your money. I want my lunch in a brown paper bag.”

“Okay, sure. But why do you want it in a bag?”

“Because when I see kids come to school with their lunch in a paper bag, that means someone cares about them. Miss Laura, can I please have my lunch in a paper bag?”

Maurice and Schroff subsequently began meeting for lunch every Monday, developing a family-like relationship, which they discussed on Fox News host Mike Huckabee’s show in January 2013.

“Here I was, and this 11-year-old kid was teaching me things,” Schroff told Huckabee. “He taught me the definition of lunch in a paper bag. The bag is only brown paper. But what you put into it is something we all call love.”

On Thursday, Ryan recounted nearly the exact same story, attributing it to Wisconsin Department of Children and Families Director Eloise Anderson, who was appointed by Gov. Scott Walker (R). But Ryan said it was Anderson who met a young student who told her he did not want a lunch from a government program, but one served in a brown paper bag.

“He wanted one, he said, because he knew a kid with a brown paper bag had someone who cared for him,” Ryan said. “This is what the left does not understand.”

Another Tea Party lawmaker, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), attracted criticism in November 2013 after he was caught stealing passages from Wikipedia during his speeches. Transcripts of the speeches in question were also found to have been pulled from his website after the accusations.

Update, 10:06 p.m. EST: At the time of their appearance on Huckabee’s show, Schrock and Maurice promoted the Share Our Strength No Kid Hungry campaign. Two months later, the campaign released a statement opposing Ryan’s House budget proposal, which included cutting the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance (SNAP) Program by $125 million.

“It’s important to remember that half of all SNAP participants are children, and the program provides a critical role in making sure that, even when their families face tough economic times, children are still able to get the healthy food they need,” Senior Manager of National Allies Lucy Melcher wrote. “SNAP is one of our nation’s most effective anti-poverty programs and cuts like those included in this budget proposal will leave millions of children without access to the food they need to thrive.”

[NOVA]

Bush's speechwriter accussing Obama of plagiarism in 2007

Biden's plagiarism of Neil Kinnock when he tried to run for president.

McCain accussed of plagiarism in 08 speech

Hillary accussed of plagiarizing John Edwards

Then Cindy McCain plagiarizing recipes

Rand Paul accursed of plagiarism


Every time some sap repeats the words written for him by his aides,
he opens the door to being accursed of plagiarism.....lol

[Cancel 2016.11]

You know what is far worse is, say this was true. Like WTF does it mean? Poor people don't love their kids? Or if you're a kid and you don't have a parent who loves you, it's better you starve? Both?


This guy is such a low life piece of shit, I hope he dies and have since the first time I heard him. He's straight up evil.

Really? Is this the extent to which liberals are willing to twist their already-twisted minds to come up with a "lie"? Obviously Ryan never read the piece and heard the story from this Anderson woman, who may have made it her own, or said something like "a kid said" and Ryan assumed she meant the kid said it to her.

Talk about a nuthin' burger. This reeks of desperation.

Let's talk about some real lies:

We shouldn't mandate the purchase of health care
If you like your health insurance plan, you can keep it. Period.
If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. Period.
This health care bill is a "jobs bill"
This health care bill will cut families' premiums an average of $2500 a year
Over the past two years health premiums have gone up - it's true - but they've gone up slower than any time in the last 50 years
I will cut the deficit in half
I will only raise taxes on the top 5% of earners
95% of taxpayers will get a tax cut
I will close Guantanamo Bay on my first day in office
I will sit down with Iran and North Korea and solve the nuclear problem
I oppose gay marriage
The use of chemical weapons in Syria will cross a "red line"
I didn't set a red line. The world set a red line
Benghazi was caused by a disgusting YouTube video
I said Benghazi was a terrorist attack from the beginning
I will create millions of new, good paying jobs
The stimulus bill will fund thousands of shovel ready jobs
I've done more for Israel's security than any President ever
Under our plan, no federal dollars will be used to fund abortions and federal conscience laws will remain in place
Doctors choose amputation because they get better compensation. Doctors taking out tonsils for more money

[Callinectes]

Wow. That really gives me sumthin' to think about. Okay, that's long enough. Still not voting for a democrat. Not even for DOGCATCHER.

This guy is such a low life piece of shit, I hope he dies and have since the first time I heard him. He's straight up evil.

One of my sales reps at work was a football player at Miami of Ohio and a frat bro of Ryan's. He's a major league asshole too. I was assigned to him cause I am known to have a thick skin and don't get to bent about Sellers behaving badly. This guy makes SF look as humble as the Dali Lama. We're talking major league asshole. Only reason I put up with him is he is very good at his work.

[Mott the Hoople]

I don't understand people getting upset about a politician lying. That's like getting mad at a bird for flying.
