Here is a Coulter Lie.
What she did here was really bad.
In her first book, she took alot of the important points from Michael Chapman in High Crimes and Misdemeanors''
Then Chapman sued Ann for taking all his quotes.
Ann then lied and said she took nothing from Chapman.
Read and tell me who the liar is.

High Crimes' and misuse?
By Alex Beam, Globe Staff, 10/18/2001

Earlier this month, conservative commentator Ann Coulter laughed off her dismissal as a contributing editor of National Review magazine by telling the Washington Post: ''I'm getting a lot of great publicity.'' But now Coulter is facing less welcome publicity - the suggestion that she is not the sole author of the 1998 bestseller ''High Crimes and Misdemeanors'' that brought her to national prominence as a telegenic Clinton-basher and poster girl for the right-wing establishment.

The charges were first leveled in a memo by Michael Chapman, formerly a colleague of Coulter's at the conservative weekly Human Events. In December 1998, shortly after Coulter's book came out, Chapman complained to his bosses that a lot of his original research and reporting - carried out for a special 1997 Human Events supplement called ''A Case for Impeachment'' - ended up in Coulter's book. In several instances, he wrote, his work was reproduced verbatim, paraphrased, or slightly rewritten, but never acknowledged. Chapman had originally volunteered to ghostwrite the impeachment book, but Regnery Publishing, which is owned by the same company as Human Events, didn't sign a contract with him. Instead, David Wagner, then a writer at Insight magazine, was hired to write a draft of the impeachment book project.

Chapman, who no longer works at Human Events, declined to comment. Wagner, now a law professor at Pat Robertson's Regent University, says he produced a draft using the magazine's research, but it was rejected because he failed to capture Coulter's polemical tone. ''I understood that she needed it to be in her voice,'' he explains. ''From the very beginning it was going to be Ann's book.''

Coulter referred inquiries to her lawyer, Richard Signorelli, who said in a written statement that ''Ms. Coulter's book was not ghostwritten at all. Ms. Coulter researched and wrote the entire book from beginning to end with no assistance whatsoever from any ghostwriter.'' He added that ''Ms. Coulter does not even know who Mr. Chapman is'' and called any claim that Wagner had a hand in the book ''disinformation.''

Regnery's executive editor Harry Crocker said Wagner ''drew some stuff together. Ann read those chapters and she read Chapman's work as well. They offered some basis for source material, but it was my impression that she threw those drafts away as irrelevant. ... If you took a page of and a page of her book, she thinks you wouldn't find any overlap. The book is 100 percent Ann Coulter.''

Let's take a look.

Chapman, ''A Case for Impeachment,'' page 13: ''Four Democratic fundraisers have stated that former DNC Finance Chairman Marvin Rosen explicitly advocated selling access to the President...''

Coulter, page 219: ''At least four Democratic fund-raising officials have revealed that former DNC Finance Chairman Marvin Rosen explicitly advocated selling access to the president ...''

Chapman: ''A DNC fundraiser told Nynex executives they would receive invitations to White House `coffees' if they joined the DNC's `Managing Trustees' program and agreed to donate $100,000 ...''

Coulter: ''A DNC fundraiser told Nynex Corporation executives that they would receive invitations to White House coffees if they joined the DNC's `Managing Trustees' program and agreed to donate $100,000 ...''

Coincidence? Or something more?
