So he committed a Bidenism.

It’s not like that hurt Joe.

I’m surprised no one looked into this person’s scholarly work earlier when he was challenging Sheriff Clarke.

Scholarship on the left is akin to solar energy production during the night.

He did footnote them. Making mountain out of a molehill, especially when the President of the United States is a known to have committed several known instances of plagiarism.

This is worse than Biden’s repeated plagiarism! He needs to be stripped of his degree, politically and financially destroyed, reduced to begging in the street and finally, enslaved and worked to death. Missing quotes, my G*d, how awful can you get?

(They are truly gunning for him now. The folks at the USNPGS accepted his thesis.)

Exactly. Except Biden didn’t bother to include footnote references of the quotation sources. BS.

If one is quoting a long passage quotation marks are not used. The passage is single spaced and off set from the margins. The citation should appear at the end

Geez do they not teach how to write a paper?

If he provided attribution but failed to include quote marks he made a grammatical error his advisor should have caught.

Michael King (MLK) did the same thing in his Ph.D. thesis.

Biden’s most noted plagiarism was taking whole sections of a UK politician’s speeches and using them as his own. Dropped out of a Presidential bid when caught.

Wouldn’t surprise me if Obama engaged in his fair share of academic subterfuge.

Well Hell.
I guess PHD really does mean Piled Higher & Deeper.

OK, so Clarke has disqualified himself from being a history professor or other University academic. Kruse has done the same. The difference is that Clarke isn’t in academia, Kruse is and should be released.

This is really about hypocrisy of the left. Shameless gaslighting scumbags.

Everything was footnoted, but it's never enough if you are a conservative. While Biden is a plagiarist extraordinare. And has been his whole life. That's just Joe.

Those rules on plagiarism can be quite confusing for someone who doesn’t write for a living. The rules for plagiarism don’t cover flat out lying.

So, now we have punctuation Nazi’s?
So long as there is mention in the footnotes, all is fine. The reviewers should have caught that, unless they too saw it as irrelevant.

Didn’t read the whole thing. Does it mention Alex Haley losing a lawsuit for portions of ‘Roots’ being plagerized?

I remember that and remained amazed that they reconstituted the crooked ‘lid’ fart through massive fraud. It’s beyond scary and we’re dropping fast.
