I like Clark - but having been through the academic world - I know how serious plagiarism is (suppose to be) taken.

Does such plagiarism disqualify one from the job he says he was in line for? Not sure - but I’m sure it WILL be used as a disqualified by those who hate him.

I will say, I am a bit disappointed. I am also curious if he has issued a statement regarding his guilt or innocence - and an apology if guilty?

Hmmmm...yet Joe Biden still gets to be VP......

It didn’t matter with Joe Biden. Clarke’s sounds like more of a mistake, if he gave credit in footnotes.

This is all he has said regarding his work:

“Everything that I put in there had a citation and, naturally, when you accuse someone of plagiarism, it’s not citing stuff. That’s not even what CNN and their political hack Kaczynski said,” Clarke said, referring to CNN KFile reporter Andrew Kaczynski.

“They’re saying certain words and phrases I should have put quotation marks around. OK, alright, fine. Maybe from a formatting standpoint the thesis isn’t perfect, but the content is there.”

You people are infants. He attributed the references with footnotes to the original source. He just didn’t also use quote marks. Anyone could check the sources from his paper. This is a style error. Give me an Fing break while the Democrats commit every crime.

[Mr. Douglas]

From what I have read, this isn’t plagiarism. This is leaving out quotation marks while still including footnotes.

Sheriff Clarke is a good man that committed the unpardonable sin of leaving the plantation.

“They” will turn over every leaf they can find to destroy him.

I bet you if everyone in Washington with an advanced degree was subjected to this sort of anal exam, the actual plagiarism rate would be over 80%.

Strangely it only happens to prominent Conservatives.

He had actual footnote cites to the works in question; that means he wasn't hiding anything. Unless his whole paper was composed of these, I'd call it less than a misdemeanor.

So a quotation mark makes a difference between employment or not...........This isn't about his masters thesis, this is about character assassination. Obama and his lack of disclosure about his college history should have undergone this type of scrutiny......
