Knowing that Ann Coulter was a plagiarist would not diminish my estimation of her. The counter doesn’t go any lower than zero. In some ways it would be like learning that Ted Bundy never paid his speeding tickets.

Frankly, learning that Ann Coulter was a plagiarist would just depress me; I’d have to deal with the fact that there’s somebody else out there with ideas she saw fit to steal.

It is more than just plagiarism, though…something that got left out when the media finally caught on to what Rude Pundit and I have reported for nearly a year.

Coulter took an entire list from an anti-abortion Website to “prove” that the New York Times ignored the facts about adult stem cell treatment. Yet the Website she almost word for word took her list from doesn’t even have citations to show where they got it from.

And a conservative book reviewer even praised Coulter for compiling said list.

And that’s not to mention the numerous factual errors in the book related to plagiarism instead of true research.

Finally, no disrespect to Josh…but this part of his post “Especially when there seem to be multiple instances of similarities in the same column coming from the same source” undercuts his first sentences…because the only admittedly strained examples are ones that went from same source to same column.

How very passive-aggressive – “we’re not making judgments one way or another,” but we none-the-less “spent a day working on this … [and have]compiled a comprehensive list of all the allegations we’re aware of” under the headline “‘Complete’ List of Coulter Plagiarism Allegations.”
