Ann Coulter, thief?

Maybe she's not the smartest woman in the world. Entire article; link below; my emphasis.

"“NEW YORK Well, Ann Coulter may be "liberal" in one respect, anyway. The New York Post reported Sunday that author/columnist Coulter "cribbed liberally in her latest book" and also in several of her syndicated columns, according to a plagiarism expert.

John Barrie, creator of the iThenticate plagiarism-probing system, claimed he found at least three examples of what he called "textbook plagiarism" in the new Coulter book "Godless" after he ran its text through the program.

He also discovered verbatim copying in Coulter's weekly column, which is syndicated to more than 100 newspapers by Universal.

The headline in classic Post fashion: COPYCATTY COULTER PILFERS PROSE: PRO

Bloggers had been citing examples of alleged Coulter cribbing for months.

After detailing some of the alleged plagiarism in the book, the Post article related that Barrie also ran Coulter's columns from the past year through iThenticate "and found similar patterns of cribbing.

"Her Aug. 3, 2005, column, 'Read My Lips: No New Liberals,' about U.S. Supreme Court Justice David Souter, includes six passages, ranging from 10 to 48 words each, that appeared 15 years earlier in the same order in an L.A. Times article, headlined 'Liberals Leery as New Clues Surface on Souter's Views.' But nowhere in that column does she mention the L.A. Times or the story's writer, David G. Savage.

"Her June 29, 2005, column, 'Thou Shalt Not Commit Religion,' incorporates 10 facts on National Endowment for the Arts-funded work that originally appeared in the same order in a 1991 Heritage Foundation report, 'The National Endowment for the Arts: Misusing Taxpayers' Money.' But again, the Heritage Foundation isn't credited."

Barrie said, "Just as Coulter plays free and loose with her citations in 'Godless,' she obviously does the same in her columns."

Meanwhile, many of the 344 citations Coulter includes in "Godless" "are very misleading," said Barrie, who holds a Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley, where he specialized in pattern recognition.

"They're used purely to try and give the book a higher level of credibility - as if it's an academic work. But her sloppiness in failing to properly attribute many other passages strips it of nearly all its academic merits," he told The Post.

Coulter did not respond to requests for comment.”




Universal Press Syndicate distributes Ann Coulter's column to over 100 newspapers around the country. Those columns may have contained plagiarized material. UPS has apparently opened their own investigation into these claims.

dis, you are really reaching here...

of course, we all know you are the SMARTEST WOMAN in the world.
If anyone doesn't think so, just ask you.

Ann Coulter doesn't stand a chance with you after her. Just like
you have had such an impact on George W. Bush, now your impact
on Ann Coulter could change her life as well. Imagine having that
much power.
:?
WOO HOOOO!!! :shock:

I don't worry about what ole dis says about AC......................ole dis lied about her before. Remember she claimed AC condemned the 911 widows...........it was a complete lie by ole dis.

What was there, four widows out of over a thousand. And to say she condemned the widows was nothing more than a LIE. She condemned four political activists who just happened to be 911 widows. She failed to mention the other 1000 or so widows. Just another dis LIE

Does it make you feel good to bash me? Just curious.
I'm only reporting the news here (with a link). If Ann Coulter's publishers find out she's been stealing other people's writings, that might have an impact on her checkbook. Do you think it's ok to steal from other people?

You don't worry about what I say? You do seem to spend a lot of time trying to discredit me.

You're the liar about the 9/11 widows. I said Ann Coulter condemned the 9/11 widows and she did. I didn't say all 9/11 widows. We were talking about her book where she specifically called a group of 9/11 widows "witches" and said they enjoyed the deaths of their husbands. That you would defend this woman's comments speaks volumns about you. We know about Ann Counter's ethics and opinions. Now we're learning more about yours. You probably don't need the practice at lying. It seems to come quite naturally to you.

Edited to take out the Republican politician part.

You should probably tread lightly when saying you know someone is a republican politician. You might be asked to prove it or be exposed yourself.

You're right. My apologies to Passin Gas. It's Ms Ding Dong who's running for office. Neither one of them has anything to say, they just run together in my mind. Maybe I should be apoligizing to Ms Ding Dong instead? Hard to say who I've insulted here. :lol:

The insults just flow back and forth. Don't worry about it, nonothing. Stuff happens. Individual onlookers can sort through the chaff, pick out the wheat, and glean out of the hullaboo whatever they want to. :wink:

I am not "copping out". In America, we have a right to free speech. Admittedly, some folks tend to overuse this right. I don't like tattle-tales and hall monitors. I don't believe in banning someone just because what they post is offensive. We all have the right to read stuff or to ignore it. You will have to learn to stand on your own two feet, nonothing. Guys like me can't be expected to care for your every need. :wink: You have to learn to fight your own battles.

All i was doing was pionting out Bullying you said does not happen here......then you decide to make it about me...You are to much the politication when your backed up to the wall......I guess the one good thing that comes from this is i can have open season and not get you on my case,for you deemed hatefull words ok....you had your chance to get on this one,but you say its ALL ok..Stand on my own two feet you say....I am not asking you for help....Honestly you would be near the bottom of my list for that....I just thought your closed eyes could be opened,I was wrong,and that i will have to let go...Double standards are everywhere,i should not be surprised on your stance here.....Its tough to have the balls to say the right thing when most dont wanna hear it,and you just proved that.....Peace out.

I like to consider myself as mildly intelligent, but nonothing, I'm not smart enough to even figure out what you are trying to say. Whatever I say seems to be wrong in your eyes, but that makes us even because whatever you say looks wrong in my eyes. :shock: Guess we'd best just quit bugging each other.
