Sorry. Klein has no beef. He stated he was quoting a Reuters report. Crowley stated she was quoting a Reuters report. Klein does not own what Reuters reported. Reuters does.
For someone to own intellectual property, he has to have title to it, as its author or from its author.
There is an amusing case about how the copyright trolls at Getty Images are getting their asses sued off for attempting to claim copyright on something that was in the public domain. Photographer Files $1bn Copyright Claim Against Getty Images
Also Alex Haley and James Cameron. I need to hear James Cameron’s opinion of plagiarism.
Never been a big fan of Crowley, and was puzzled why he ever chose her. Perhaps a good time for her to bow out
Speaking of which, where are all those stupid czars the DumbAss placed here and there and everywhere????? Still doing all they can to destroy “Our Republic”??
Well, say what you will but Obama at least didn’t plagiarize... no sirree. He had someone else completely write it!
Obama’s redistributionist scheme, however, is so much bigger than just the transfer of capital within his home country. For Obama, self-styled “president of the world,” the redistribution is global and not strictly limited to wealth. Obama and his single-minded band of leftists are in the process of redistributing everything American: our power, our wealth, our resources, our military and diplomatic advantage, our economic competitiveness, our leadership, our borders, and, yes, our unique exceptionalism.
....As dark a vision as this is, however, there is something even bigger and more sinister at work, something grander in scale and more destructive in purpose. We tend to think of Obama’s redistributionist agenda as limited to what he calls “spreading the wealth around” here at home. Obama’s redistributionist scheme, however, is so much bigger than just the transfer of capital within his home country. For Obama, self-styled “president of the world,” the redistribution is global and not strictly limited to wealth. Obama and his single-minded band of leftists are in the process of redistributing everything American: our power, our wealth, our resources, our military and diplomatic advantage, our economic competitiveness, our leadership, our borders, and, yes, our unique exceptionalism. These are the very things that built American greatness. We value them. He resents them, which is why he is constantly apologizing for them. His intent is to have every element of Americangreatness turned over to the rest of the world so that they may be watered down and ultimately eradicated. If his strategy were merely wealth redistribution here at home, we could roll it back with an emphatic change in leadership in 2012 and beyond. But Obama is not content to simply remake America, but to undermine her by placing redistributionism on steroids and then selling out every component of American greatness. He also knew that he had just a few years to accomplish this global dilution of everything American...
Crowley, Monica (2012-06-19). What the (Bleep) Just Happened?: The Happy Warrior's Guide to the Great American Comeback (Kindle Locations 143-147). HarperCollins. Kindle Edition. From free chapter available at https://www.amazon.com/What-Bleep-Just-Happened-Warriors-ebook/dp/B006IY9HS8/ref=la_B000APHN82_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1483840302&sr=1-1
The interesting thing to me is why they would even investigate this. They never investigated anything about Obama.
When the Left finally gives a damn about right and wrong, then I might take their phony investigations and outrage against our side seriously. Until then, the best I can muster is a shrug.
I haven’t read Crowley’s book, but I’d imagine if the readers continue on to the last pages, they’ll find a bibliography?
Their motivation is sheer spite and venom.
Hahaha.
You’re exactly right. MSM gets their talking points fed to them every morning from the DNC or the white mosque.
Laughable.
CNN is corrupt.
Well didn’t Hillary “write” a book or two that she really DIDN’T write. Hope the real author got more than a few bucks for their time.........didn’t someone else write a book for Odummy??
Yes, thanks for the reminder!
If it’s true, she needs to bow out. The Trump administration needs to be squeaky clean, and citing all the rotten stuff the MSM and liberals have done and are doing, is not a defense. I would like justice to be done about all the examples given here of liberal’s crimes and dirty tricks, but two wrongs don’t make a right; never have, never will.

Now Trump is defending intellectual property theft.
Its wrong whether Crowley or I do it.
Plagiarism is the worst form of theft. You’re dishonest when you pass off others’ work as your own and fail to give them credit for it.
Crowley is a thief and they’re defending her. It doesn’t matter she has a Ph.D when she brazenly rips off others’ hard work and she shows no contrition for her behavior.
I’m not defending her lack of character and Trump’s trying to change the subject makes it even worse.
He is more famous for dropping out of the 1988 presidential race for having plagiarized the British Labour Party politician Neil Kinnock.
