The downfall of Ann Coulter (plagiarism)

It's already begun!!!

She's attacking her fellow conservative news sources, Rupert Murdoch's NY post. Ann Coulter and GW Bush are two of the greatest whipping sticks liberals can use against the right. It's too bad we only have two years left of one and the others time is even shorter!!!!

I never thought I'd see the day where a goosetepping conservative would go after the goose stepping NY Post. Perhaps the right wing echo chamber will begin attacking itself!!!!

1. She also hasn't answered the charges, just attacked the

messenger. Oh well, it's her stock in trade.

Personally, I'd like to see what sort of examples that program turned up, if it's entire passages or just isolated phrases. The former would be a clear indication of plagiarism but the latter could be an instance of hateful minds thinking alike.

Still, you'd think she'd have said something about refuting the charges. I suppose she hasn't read any of the examples, either.

2. I don't think so. The Soulless, Frigid, Political Pornographer Le Skank

will continue to provide wet dream fodder to repugs until next year, when she turns 55.

3. "shake me down for protection money",

What does this mean? Sounds like mob talk or something.

Is she on glue?

[whistle]

4. I will believe that Ann Coulter is really gone when I see live stream

...video of the silver spike be driven through her heart, or at least what is functioning as a heart!

8. Even then,

I'd only believe it if they cut off her head and stuffed her mouth full of garlic. She ain't human.

9. I forgot about that step, thanks for the reminder

5. If well-proven, the charges of plagiarism could damage her "career"

quite a bit. Plagiarism is something that's not easily shaken off. FWIW, the snips of her writing I've read here and there on the net read like mediocre papers written by an 8th grader who lifts entire sentences from the encyclopaedia without bothering to reword or rearrange them. Coulter just adds her own toxicity to such hackery to make it "individual."

6. Media Matters

has a listing of the materiel and where they are from. There ar e passages in the book that are over 30 words long taken word-for-word from other sources.

I wonder if there is a way we can spurn on the back stabbing and knife twisting between Coulter and Murdoch!!!!!

7. Please put a helmet on Ann and send her to Iraq!!! nt

10. Does anyone know where I can find the NEA column she wrote?

I'm looking for it everywhere and I can't find it. I want to compare to the Heritage Foundation Report (if I can find that).

All in all this sounds something like what I'm reading in The Republican Noise Machine, which stipulates that think-tanks such as the Heritage Foundation feed information columnists, etc.

11. Downfall? I doubt it. IOKIYAR.

Because as we all know, "It's OK if you are a Republican."

Sadly.

12. As if the wingnuts care about propriety.

Man Coulter is a demigod to them.
