Oh so we agree, something is funny. You don't present any "argument", instead bitching and moaning about the right, engaging in double standards and hypocrisy. So what I did address was your inability to provide any kind of valuable insight regarding these debates and yes, I think you're incredibly facile. Good try 👆
"ZOMG, librulz double-standards!" It would be more compelling if if was not your go-to reply to every argument you cannot refute.
Staffer take all responsibility

No, it is not a deflection. You are attempting to shift he burden of proof. Instead of asking the person who claimed that Obama plagiarized her speech to substantiate that claim, you are presuming it is true, and then asking me to respond to it. You are deflecting from his ability to substantiate his argument by changing the subject and trying to put the burden on me.
Shift the burden of proof? I am not asking you to prove anything, I'm asking you how you'd feel if it were true.
If you said yes you'd disapprove that wouldn't mean anything in terms of whether or not it is true. I'm essentially asking if you'd be hypocritical about this and your constant dodging around it can only lead me to believe you would indeed be hypocritical.
I asked for what your opinion would be if this were true, it's that simple.

What I find so utterly unacceptable are all the stories I've seen about it without any mention of the Obama's doing the same thing.Now maybe when this story first broke people wouldn't of known, but I still see people commenting on it in the media without the gigantic friggin asterisk of "well it's possible Michelle Obama also plagiarized".
I mean yes I agree it's a non-story, but if we're going to discuss it ad nauseam we need all the facts.
If people wouldnt give it credence it wouldn't get airtime.
Time said he got the nom. But other than bashing Hillary and rhetoric what has the RNC done?

Why were Trump supporters trying to use an American flag to cover up a sign that said "No Racism No Hate"? Do Trump supporters like racism and hate? Don't understand why they would be offended by that sign
Come on dude you're better than this. Something tells me if Trump supporters tried to cover it up it's because the sign was implying that Trump is racist and hateful. Whether you agree that Trump is those things or not..surely you can see how in that context covering it up doesn't mean you like racism and hate.
It would mean they didn't like the fact someone had shown up at the event just to start shit and not to actually support the candidate.

Trump delivered a plagiarized speech. And instead of renouncing that, you are desperately seeking parity on the other side, so you can justify her bad behavior by stating "both sides do it." When you condemn Trump's behavior, and/or substantiate the claim that Obama also plagiarized her speech, then I will be perfectly happy to answer your question. Until then, I am not going to play your deflect the blame game.

So when Melania Trump said, "I wrote [my convention speech] with as little help as possible," she lied.

I never justified anything. From the beginning I was talking about the hypocrisy of it all. To be honest I don't care about the speech stuff, I wouldn't of given a shit if this this Trump thing did not happen and you pulled me aside and said "Michelle Obama plagiarized a speech". Like I said, the apparent hypocrisy is what bugs me. Notice I said apparent, if I had any way to prove to you they both copied other people 100% then I would certainly do so.

I frankly don't care about the speeches. This was some speech given by Trump's wife it wasn't a term paper. I'm indifferent to people doing this for political speeches, once again I was talking about potential hypocrisy.
Also dude if you'd just answered me we could of moved on and it would of been less of a deflection than this back and forth. I asked you to hypothesize how you might respond and you refuse to do it. I'm shocked you refuse to answer a simple question. I'm not trying to deflect anything from anyone because from the beginning I was never out to justify the actions of anyone.

Adam and the media spent more time investigating Melania's crimes then they did on her email scandal and lies to the american people and to congress under oath.
To date, nine Republican investigations have cleared Clinton of any wrongdoing. Are you saying that Republicans are inept or that Clinton is smarter than all of them put together?
