There's nothing wrong with that, as long as you provide attribution.
What I usually do instead of doing a 1:1 copy is to add a paragraph that summarizes that the comment said, like for example

@org oh, you mean a comment that consists only of a link? That should be okay to copy 1:1, maybe with a

1JohnDoe has no idea what he's talking about. If you use a quorax to flabber the gargle, the spoofee will raise a
UninitializedTorikException, and the stack trace from one of those is not pretty, let me tell you.– user164291Commented Nov 24, 2011 at 23:22 -

If you use a comment or link posted from another question/comment/answer this is what I think should be done:
- Give attribution to the original poster (as mentioned by Pekka's other trolling acc)
Simply copying it should not be to justify your comment by what's already said but to expand on the previous comment/answer.
