Coulter guilty of “textbook plagiarism”
in her new book Godless, according to John Barrie, the creator of a leading plagiarism-recognition system.

yeah right , go ahead and bash coulter you commie slime. Ann Coulter should be president!
July 2nd, 2006 at 10:47 pmOh moonbat, you just LOVE your little camp follower. Face it, she isn’t going to do you, stop sucking up to her.
July 2nd, 2006 at 10:48 pmYour name should actually be “patrolling moonbat”, moonbat. Glad to see you endorse plagiarism.
July 2nd, 2006 at 10:53 pmAnn Coulter is the most foul mouthed wench in the United States!
July 2nd, 2006 at 10:55 pmas first poster here, moon bat you’re listening! Chuck Norris once roundhouse kicked moonbat so hard it got him kicked off the repug sites and why he posts on them dang commie, socialst sites. moonbat–beware–the NSA and neocons are watching all the traffic on these sites and ANYONE logging on is subject to incarceration and torture. THAT MEANS YOU. Idiot.
July 2nd, 2006 at 11:01 pmMoonbat is about as orginal as his sweetheart….
A match made in the pig pen where they both crawled out of…
July 2nd, 2006 at 11:03 pmAnother right wing FRAUD exposed. This should come as no surprise seeing as how repugs and thier ilk are ravenous to repeat things….i.e history,talking points,other peoples work…etc
July 2nd, 2006 at 11:03 pmI for one support plagiarism. Ms. Coulter is such a good writer…I read this in Godless…”Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow creeps at its petty pace to the last syllables of recorded time…” Here’s to a tomorrow when people stop listening to, reading, and letting Ann Coulter come on TV.
July 2nd, 2006 at 11:06 pmleave it to a moonbat to defend a wingbat like mAnn. Sometimes I wish I could make money like it does - spitting vitriol without any bit of evidence - but then I couldn’t sleep at night.
July 2nd, 2006 at 11:11 pmAnn Coulter - - - moonbat’s own little “Crying Game.”
July 2nd, 2006 at 11:19 pmAdmit it, she-he-it, is not a plagiarist. Prior authors have lifted passages from his-her-its works in direct violation of her-his-its copyright rights.
July 2nd, 2006 at 11:33 pm“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,”
Oh what a gnarly matrix ye weave
when ye coulter try to deceive
Paste eaters, jeez.
July 2nd, 2006 at 11:37 pmWhy is everybody allowing the bought-and-paid-for troll to hijack the thread? The Coulter plagiarism thing is interesting because she doesn’t bother to alter anything she steals. Just cuts and pastes without worrying that the morons who read her stuff will catch her out.
July 2nd, 2006 at 11:38 pmthis story is most vile! i, ann coulter, do NOT plagarize from others. my words are small pieces of god’s grace, handed down to me and ONLY ME by god.
I AM ALL KNOWING, ALL POWERFUL…
i am blessed with knowledge that you liberal/progressives will never know!!!
i can kill an iraqi child in four seconds with one of my claws! i can suck its blood dry in twelve minutes!
i don’t need ANYONE but ME ME ME ME ME ME ME… but, i likes to mount michelle malkin and that fat chick that is on msnbc all the time from san francisco…yummy sisters!!!
kisses,
ann
July 2nd, 2006 at 11:39 pmI can’t wait for all the conservative pundits over at Fox News to start bitching about how this development is just another example of ‘liberal character assassination’ because the left is ‘threatened’ by her idiotic scribblings.
How pathetic that she isn’t even an original poisonous hateful bitch.
July 2nd, 2006 at 11:41 pmAccording to the Rude Pundit, too, weeks ago.
It’s that time of the week again: Random Flickr Blogging, and man, do I have ten good captions up!
July 2nd, 2006 at 11:43 pmjohn barrie… what a sick liberal name. probably related to j.m. barrie the leftist peter pan author.
the nerve of these people!
July 2nd, 2006 at 11:46 pmhey moonbat patrol, I don’t know what has the televangelists all up in arms, or why coulter write suchs crap, or why you guys running around crying about moonbats and other such such crazy things…terrorist appeasers, viscious haters…
I wlll venture a guess though;
Accompanying the Charter and the Ark are the Temenos Books, containing aboriginal Earth Masks and “visual prayers/affirmations for global healing, peace, and gratitude,” created by 3,000 artists, teachers, students, and mystics. According to the Temenos Project, which launched the effort, a temenos is “a magical sacred circle where special rules apply and extraordinary events inevitably occur.”
July 2nd, 2006 at 11:50 pm——————————————————–
Lemme say this moonbat, I have never read any of the Tenemos [Temple of Theos] or take part in any activist groups that do. My God is my God, and it isn’t Satan or Bush or Rockefeller. Really, I think this is Republican [Moonbat] conspiracy theory.

Moonbat base central.

We love Anne Coulter. it’s ok if you lie and do drugs, like Limbaugh, It’s ok to paste text into your books.

July 3rd, 2006 at 12:12 amsorry - the a.c.blogspot cancer premise is stooping too low for my taste and sensibility… i wouldn’t wish that on anyone… there are so many better directions that site could go - some of the posts here have totally cracked me up… i wouldn’t click on the link till right’s comment - have to say i don’t agree…

July 3rd, 2006 at 1:07 amthat’s really devastating. if we were talking about any other writer, this would be career ending. but of course, we are also talking about a career that never should have gotten started. this is one lazy talentless individual. her syndicator should cancel her deal yesterday.

Does that mean its good?
July 3rd, 2006 at 3:05 amGee.
This might impact sales.
At least among the crowd that can spell academic.
July 3rd, 2006 at 3:07 amDepends on how one defines “plagiarism”. To me, one would have to copy significant passages word for word before qualifying as a plagiarist.
Perhaps John Barrie should consider running Dr. Martin Luther King’s PhD thesis through his plagiarism-recognition system to see how well it really works.
July 3rd, 2006 at 3:10 amMy goodness, what is moonbat so enraged about? You’d think he and his family had had bombs dropped on them by some distant superpower, and that he was the only survivor.
Moonbat, is it possible to have genuine conversation with you? I honestly want to understand what it is about “liberals” you hate so intensely. Leave a post on my blog or something in case I don’t catch your response here.
July 3rd, 2006 at 3:46 am#38 actually by Moonbats normal outrage..you would think he had a room at Gitmo..and vacationed at Abu Ghraib
July 3rd, 2006 at 6:37 amMaybe Moonbat Patrol is actually Ann Coulter. Ever see them together? Writing style and content similar. T’would explain alot. Post #1 = self-aggrandizing drivel?
July 3rd, 2006 at 6:49 amPLC
Nah, MA is actually Anne Coulter. Similar righting style, they use the same basic lines (I was once a librul, I am a lawyer etc…) its all the same basic drivel.
July 3rd, 2006 at 6:55 amTo me, one interesting thing about this article is that it appeared in Rupert Murdoch’s New York Post. Could this be a sign that the right-wing is disowning her? I’m pretty sure that her book was published by a company not owned by Murdoch (some do exist).
July 3rd, 2006 at 7:40 am#39 Jane and I have theorized that moonbat patrol is really Bill O’Reilly. Or someone who works for Bill O’Reilly. Or someone who has a shrine to Bill O’Reilly in his house.
July 3rd, 2006 at 8:23 amSo, shouldn’t the people who’ve been plagarized do something? Like sue her? Money is what she values - so take it away from her.
Al Gore donated 100% of the profits of his book and movie to his cause. He didn’t keep one single dime. How much of Coulter’s profits aren’t going into her pocket? I’d guess 100%.
July 3rd, 2006 at 8:43 amI’m pretty sure that her book was published by a company not owned by Murdoch (some do exist).
Comment by Wayne A. Schneider — July 3, 2006 @ 7:40 am
She crossed even their right-wing line by attacking the 9/11 victom’s families, I think. Plus, she’s just too far over the top, even for the loud mouthed crybabies on the Right. I wouldn’t be surprised if you’re right and they are distancing themselves from her a bit. After all, you can’t support a war on terror while criticizing the victims for whom you seek revenge…
At the least, I hope that her plagerization will haunt her everytime she calls for the death of another liberal patriot.
July 3rd, 2006 at 8:47 ammake that plagiarism
July 3rd, 2006 at 8:48 amunbelievable,
“Plagiarism”, “Plagerization”. Whether you use the real word or the “Bush” version of it, your meaning is still understood. :) And thanks.
July 3rd, 2006 at 8:54 amso Coulter used know facts to prove that liberals are idiots and scum. How is THAT plagarism? This little turd that cried plagariam is probably some little faggot who got his ass kicked by Coulter! But hey You leftards here got almost 45 posts trying to speculate on who i am….I am RIGHT and you are wrong… that’s who i am you progressive pukes.
July 3rd, 2006 at 8:55 amI am RIGHT and you are wrong… that’s who i am you progressive pukes.

Thank you, moonbat piss. Of course you are I-RIGHT-I. The words idiots, scum, faggot, leftards, etc gave you away long before now, pal.
It is also obvious that you are off your psychotic meds again. And you was doing so much better for awhile. (_!_)
July 3rd, 2006 at 9:22 amtypical liberal there sixpacker. just because I hate liberals I am of course crazy right?? well the majority of Americans are crazy by your definition because the majority of America hates liberals too. nice try there joe blow but maybe it’s YOu who needs medication or maybe try taking a little reality to shake you from your left wing induced dementia.
July 3rd, 2006 at 9:32 amoh and by the way I AM RIGHT.
Whether you use the real word or the “Bush†version of it, your meaning is still understood. :) And thanks.

Well, you know how it goes around here - if you don’t catch your own faux pas, they become the topic of troll conversation. Just trying to avoid that considering someone let moonbat loose… though I don’t read his posts anyway. The first one I read was enough to last me a good long while :)

July 3rd, 2006 at 9:51 am#50 unbelievable,
I understand completely. We all make typos (yes, me, too). It’s one thing to nitpick someone’s spelling if their meaning becomes lost as a result of it. But if the only thing one can say in response to an otherwise intelligent, sensible post is to nitpick some insignificant spelling errors, then the nitpicker has lost the point of debating an issue.
July 3rd, 2006 at 9:54 amMoonbat - can’t you relax just for one day? I hear Wal-mart has a sale on Camo and Deer Scent, go check it out!

Comment by Wayne A. Schneider — July 3, 2006 @ 9:54 am
Absolutely. Same applies to when they turn it personal with insults and ad hominem attacks rather than debate the argument on merits. Most of them seem to even start off like that (moonbat), hence my refusal to waste my time reading his posts. Anyone who starts off insulting people has nothing of value to say - or they would have begun with a point. Too bad there are still people in this country who think it’s about the messenger rather than the message… Or that words are more defining than actions.
As for Ann Coulter - she is another one who comes out swinging insults and condoning violence against those with whom she disagrees. Didn’t take me long to tune her out either. She is a disgrace to women who fought hard to pave a pathway for her to go to college, law school and voice her opinion. Some day I hope she grows to understand that she is doing more to destroy equality among the sexes by validating the hysterical woman stereotype that ironically built her platform to do so.

July 3rd, 2006 at 10:36 amDon’t make her the victim. Watch her spin this if it’s true and she should know better she’s a laywer.
July 3rd, 2006 at 10:49 am#56 unbelievable,
Coulter has written that women shouldn’t be allowed to vote. If, as some of her supporters have tried to claim, she’s just a comedian trying to do comedy, then she should find another line of work. She isn’t funny, she’s just insulting. The premises upon which her humor is based are so far out there that there’s really nothing to relate to and, therefore, no reason for people to find it funny. To start with the premise that all liberals are treasonous does not make for a very funny book because her premise isn’t even remotely true. At least if there were some basis for reality, she might have a reason to call it comedy. If she wanted to deride us all as “bleeding hearts”, at least there’s some factual basis for that because we care about our fellow human beings. (That part they can’t relate to.) But what she does is just out-and-out attack using stereotypes and untruths. Frankly, I think TP is wasting time acknowedging her existence.
I realize that the danger isn’t so much Coulter as it is the people who believe what she writes. Some people think she’s 100% accurate, and those people are the ones we have to worry about.
July 3rd, 2006 at 10:54 amWayne,
She’s supposed to be funny? I had not heard that description before. Well, I agree with you. She isn’t. Not even remotely. And her voice to me is like nails on a chalkboard because of all that venom and hatred she spews.
I think it’s good that TP is calling her out on her nonsense, actually. Silence is frequently seen as aquiescence in our culture, and we need to be clear that we do not tolerate her violent “humor” or devisive nature. Even John Stewart pokes fun of the Democrats…
The really ironic thing is that she is grandstanding for a party that is all about patriarchy. How self-degrading is it to be a spokesperson for a group of people who don’t value you? No wonder she thinks humiliating her gender is funny. She’s literally sick. She should try eating something. Could help with that perpetual irritability and constant gnawing in her stomache.
July 3rd, 2006 at 11:14 amEditor & Publisher has picked up on this too…
as carpetbagger writes: I hate to get optimistic about such things, but this could be a career killer. News outlets don’t seem to mind giving a forum to far-right bombthrowers who recommend killing war heroes or joke about murdering Supreme Court justices, but editors and publishers tend to disapprove when writers steal other writers’ words. It’s usually a deal-breaker.
i won’t be holding my breath…
July 3rd, 2006 at 11:17 amMoonbat, is it possible to have genuine conversation with you?

It is possible, Brian. He and I had a very good discussion on an abortion thread, of all things.

You know, funny like the kind of person who says the most vile things to you, and then says, “What’s the matter? Can’t you take a joke?” That kind of funny. Ugh.

July 3rd, 2006 at 11:30 amI repeat, the space shuttle is NOT launching today.
Did anyone notice the second paragraph in that article calls her “the leggy blond pundit?”
Blond is male. Blonde is female.
The accompanying picture lends credence to their assertion. Ick.
Also, I think it’s funny she copied liberal sources. Planned parenthood could use a good financial settlement.

July 3rd, 2006 at 11:41 amHey moonbat patrol! Take your post #49, replace every instance of the world “liberal” with the word “Jew” and replace the word “America” with the word “Germany” and tell me if you’re still comfortable making that statement.
For everyone else, I recommend “Republican Like Me” in which the author cites a neo-Nazi web site that highly recommends Coulter’s work, and instructs its members to make the same substitution. “Every time she uses the word ‘liberal’ substitute ‘Jew’ and it will make perfect sense.”
July 3rd, 2006 at 11:43 amhey, z, this thread is about ME ME ME ME ME… don’t talk about the space shuttle! how rude…

I would think you’d be riveted to your television screen, plotting on how to acquire your new sex toy.
July 3rd, 2006 at 12:04 pm#64 Zooey,
I could be wrong, but I thought that they had re-scheduled it for tomorrow, the Fourth, some time in the afternoon. It was supposed to be an Independence Day “gift” to Americans. I just hope it’s safe. There are still concerns about the foam falling off and damaging the shuttle again.
I’m all for science and the International Space Station is a step toward the unified humanity I hope we one day achieve. But let’s make sure it’s not any more dangerous than it has to be.
We should get back on topic.
Ann Coulter should be banned from the non-Fox channels until she’s willing to talk about these allegations. Fox won’t care where she got her material. They don’t believe that “Honesty is the best policy.”
July 3rd, 2006 at 12:14 pm#69 - Wayne
My above post about the shuttle was my frustration that, even though the shuttle isn’t going anywhere, it’s still about the ONLY thing on the news! Apparently there’s not anything else happening ON EARTH!!

There are a some of Bush’s state of the Unions that that equally works for as well.
And I think it’s a good tool for the main stream sheeple to see that fascist really does equal neocon, and NOT liberal…
July 3rd, 2006 at 12:36 pmPlagiarism is not merely the act of a lazy, stupid mind. The odds of getting caught, especially for a high profile personality like Coulter, are very, very high. Poor Ann is just looking for a good spanking.
July 3rd, 2006 at 12:40 pm#70 Zooey,
BTW, congratulations on the new job. Good luck with that.
I understand now. I guess there’s no reason for them to talk about the national elections in the country immediately to our south. (I’m talking about Mexico, trolls.) I guess the media didn’t want to run (or begin) their deep investigatory pieces into the corruption inherent in the Republican-controlled Congress. (If no one’s indicted, it isn’t news.) I guess not enough people are getting killed in Iraq to get the illegal war back in the news. And all those thunderstorms and wildfires the country’s been experiencing aren’t important enough to discuss, either. So I guess they decided to focus on something that they knew wasn’t happening until tomorrow. No wonder the American people are so uninformed about the important issues of the day.
Let’s combine topics so we can continue to talk about Ann Coulter.
Do you think they might consider a mission where they test the affects of weightlessness on brainlessness and observe Ann Coulter floating around inside the shuttle? (Whether or not she should have a space suit on would be optional.)
July 3rd, 2006 at 12:43 pmThere is nothing academic about a book on ill-thoughts and mean-spirited bullshit. Its pure entertainment like Jerry Springer or pro wrestling. Some people just want to hear nasty things about other people and they are willing to pay or it.
In Mr. Coulters defense, he just understands the glorious US system of capitalism, culture and the cherished American values and making a sweet penny at it.
July 3rd, 2006 at 12:58 pmIs it possible for me to be an even bigger kiss up artist than I already am ?
July 3rd, 2006 at 1:00 pmC’mon,trolls,you gotta love the Schmuck.
hmmm ann is a complete fraud just like rest of the repukes on the hill and some dems fit that as well.
July 3rd, 2006 at 1:22 pmI don’t know how much more we can talk about Ann Coulter’s plagairism… So, off topic, but newsworthy:
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea would respond to a pre-emptive U.S. military attack with an “annihilating strike and a nuclear war,” the state-run media said Monday, heightening anti-U.S. rhetoric amid close scrutiny of its missile program.
The Korean Central News Agency, citing an unidentified Rodong Sinmun newspaper “analyst,” accused the United States of increasing military pressure on the isolated communist state and basing new spy planes on the Korean Peninsula.
The North Korean threat of retaliation, which is often voiced by its state-controlled media, comes amid U.S. official reports that Pyongyang has shown signs of preparing for a test of a long-range missile. North Korea claims it has the right to such a launch.
On Friday, Pyongyang accused the United States of driving the situation on the Korean Peninsula “to the brink of war,” and said it is fully prepared to counter any U.S. aggression.
Monday’s report accused Washington of escalating military pressure on the country with war exercises, a massive arms buildup and aerial espionage by basing new spy planes in South Korea.

July 3rd, 2006 at 1:32 pmCowards and traitors, masquerading as patriots. Running from true freedom and the challenges and risks that go along with it, lashing out at those of us who still refuse to submit and surrender our lives and minds to the power-mongers. This is the character of those who defend tory scumbags like Coulter. Take them on where they live. Tear up the rocks they live under and call them the real traitors to America they all are. Time’s a wastin’.
July 3rd, 2006 at 1:45 pmAnn Coulter will be busy during the 4th Reich if we don’t get our collectives arses!
July 3rd, 2006 at 1:54 pmHave you ever read any of Anne Coulter’s books? They’re basically a collection of quotes, an assemblage of paraphrased statements, and the re-telling of events—and John Barrie’s software detected three familiar sentences. Wow! There’s a big suprise!
“If you want to destroy a message then destroy the messenger.”
Technique: When accused, berated or maligned, attack the messengers. It doesn’t matter if they’re are accurate or not, just attack. Attack their credibility. Attack their character. Attack their ideology. Attack their sources. Attack their associations. Just attack.
If you take the bait and start debating the veracity or even the necessity of the message content itself, you risk highlighting the content of the message — and thus risk harm upon yourself. The idea is to avoid a confrontation on an issue that will most likely damage your credibility and/or reputation.
How well the left knows this technique…
July 3rd, 2006 at 1:59 pmAntagonist,
you mean like the Bush GOP attacked El Baradei and Annan When they said that there were no proofs of WMD in Iraq prior to the invasion? Or when the french, german and russian governments expressed their doubts about the capacity of Iraq to launch a WMD attack in the USA soil in 45 minutes?
July 3rd, 2006 at 2:10 pmDo you think they might consider a mission where they test the affects of weightlessness on brainlessness and observe Ann Coulter floating around inside the shuttle? (Whether or not she should have a space suit on would be optional.)

Oh Wayne, don’t tease…
July 3rd, 2006 at 2:15 pm#81
I was thinking in terms of the Democratic party’s constant attacks on the Bush administration, and the left’s constant attacks on every conservative voice in America. By the way, Bush and the GOP criticized Annin and the UN for being a useless debate society. The original UN sanctions against Iraq only produced a corrupt oil for food scandal. Saddam never cooperated with those sanctions, and the UN never enforced them. Hooray for diplomacy!
July 3rd, 2006 at 2:43 pmSure, Antagonist, the sanctions were so innefective that, when your country’s army entered Iraq, you found almost no opposition and Rumsfeld did a record time run to Baghdad with a highly dubious blitzkrieg-like strategy, impossible if the Hussein army hadn’t crumbled.
Also, the UN was so inneffective that Saddam had no WMD, due to the constant watching of the UN.
BTW, the management of the reconstrucion by the GOP has produced not a single scandal, but a good bunch, including several done by the no-bid Haliburton (you know, the company who is paying YET benefits to Dick Cheney?). Or the milions lost in the Bremer’s watch…
So, please, if you can’t control your own country’s enterprises and viceroys accountability, don’t come and play the hollier than thou card with the UN…

The Iraqi’s were no contest for us in Desert Storm, before UN sanctions were imposed. Your point is?
Saddam used WMD’s on his own people. He had them everyone knew it. The Clinton administration warned about them. Saddam thumbed his nose at the weapons inspectors for years, and the UN did nothing. Since we’ve been in Iraq, we have been finding WMD’s, but the press and the American left are not interested. That would mean that Bush was right, and they cannot admit that.
Don’t play holier than thou with me. At least my country doesn’t give in to the demands of terrorists. Go back to bending over and grabbing your ankles, and stay out of American politics.
July 3rd, 2006 at 3:21 pmAntagonist,
the WMD found are a few shells who someone forgot at some hidden cache from a war 15 years ago. Like the ammunition you left back when you retreat. its living charge was long ago inert, non-WMD grade. Nowhere to find the supposed trailers for making tons and tons of anthrax, no nuclear weapons, no one, not chemical facilities. Zero.
And Anti-reason, I’ll mess with the USA policy, the exact same day that the USA policy doesn’t alter the life in my country for bad.
And, btw, tell the terrorists that arresting the higher responsibles of the fundraising of the terrorist band is bending to their demands, they’re really pissed right now, but defanged…
Antagonist, be honest you’ve choosen your nick because you’re Antireality, isn’t?
July 3rd, 2006 at 3:33 pmActually, they’ve been finding leftover CWs in scattered locations. Over 20 years, they degraded to the point where if you wanted to kill someone you would need to open up the warhead and shove a person’s face in, or bash their head against it repeatedly.
Bush is not touting these WMD, and with good reason. He doesn’t want to give his critics the ammunition. Only redneck red state congressmen even mention it, because they know they won’t be challened in their home districts on the facts.
July 3rd, 2006 at 3:36 pmAnd, Antagonist,
we’re not bending to the desires of the terrorists. We are making them sign a Rendition Agreement. Like your country did with Germany and Japan when the USA “bended over and grabbed his ankles”. Really, you’re a great source of humour.
July 3rd, 2006 at 3:52 pmMoonbat, Annie(Mannie?) Coulter is a pre-op transexual whose Adam’s apple is bigger than her bra cup size. You must like sucking that she-male’s dick. My apologies in advance to the transgenders out there; Coulter excepted.

Germany and Japan surrendered after being beaten—I hardly see the connection here…
July 3rd, 2006 at 4:36 pmoh BTW I believe Mann-Coulter copies directly out of Mein Kampf, Moonbat–you keep deep-throating your idol.
July 3rd, 2006 at 4:37 pmlike I have said before ho chi min - I should have shot your gook ass in ‘Nam. why don’t you save me the trouble and do it now you little gook commie faggot. I know you like little boys gook and there is no reason for you (or any commie-liberal) to live so just do it! and shut up about it.
July 3rd, 2006 at 5:45 pmMoonbat;BETTER RED THAN DEAD!!! THE ONLY GOOD NAZI(U) IS THE ONE THAT’S DEAD.
July 3rd, 2006 at 5:52 pmBTW, I turned hippie/peacenik AFTER I was drafted.
July 3rd, 2006 at 5:54 pmMoonbat, YOU MUST be a homo pedophile, since you seem to be obsessed with the topic in every other sentence.
July 3rd, 2006 at 5:56 pmHehe, Antagonist is crying. Your own tactics are used against your own and you whine like a little girl.

July 3rd, 2006 at 10:29 pmYou’re ringing defense of Ms. Coulter stirred us all. If she steals other peoples’ work and pawns it off as her own we have only the Left to blame. I guess you’re still locked down on the turkey farm eagerly waiting for Thanksgiving,].
#91 Antagonist, it’s very easy to see (for intelligent people): ETA is surrendering after a lot of police hits to his infraestructure, and the incarceration of his higher bosses. And they will not be allowed to talk fo peace and disolotion of the band to the Government, until they surrender. This is the meaning of a cease fire. If ETA had the force of some years ago, they will never surrender.
But hey, I will not wait until you understand it, you’re too slow.
July 4th, 2006 at 6:59 am# 5 I kicked Chuck Norris’s ass!

July 4th, 2006 at 2:27 pmfigure that you would do the nazi analogy big poopa, that’s all you liberals got anymore.
July 4th, 2006 at 6:03 pmI saw a good t-shirt today. it said: bigot: anybody that disagrees with a liberal. how very true. oh and by the way big poopa your rhyming skills and your pathetic poetic persuals really suck.
but that’s to be expected with that mental illness you have called liberalism. take two doses of common sense, go to bed and shut up about it, you’ll get better……someday when you grow up.
To Coulter defenders,
July 4th, 2006 at 10:44 pmPlagiarism isn’t a liberal vs. conservative issue; it is a copyright (legal) and ethical issue.
I worked for a while as an editor in a publishing house in the days before google, which should make it easier to check quotes for plagiarism. Still, when comparing one submitted manuscript with a published book on a similar topic, I found far too many almost word-for-word passages in the ms. and ultimately rejected it for publication. To this day, I have no idea what the author’s politics were.
