During a Democratic Debate on February 21, 2008, Hillary Clinton accused Barack Obama of plagiarizing portions of his speeches. Clinton used her accusation to justify referring to Obama's political message as, "change you can Xerox."

Hillary Clinton received boos from the crowd at the debate, as the audience did not receive her comments well. Barack Obama then seized the opportunity to win the crowd by saying, "What we shouldn't be doing is tearing each other down, we should be lifting the country up."Telegraph: Hillary Clinton heckled after plagiarism slur (February 26, 2008)
