I'd say yes she does and I will volunteer.

Universal Press Syndicate issued a statement this afternoon saying it might look into the plagiarism allegations against Ann Coulter in two possible ways.
"We'll see what we can find on our own," said Kathie Kerr, the syndicate's director of communications, noting that Universal would use the information referenced in Sunday's New York Post article. That story quoted John Barrie, creator of the iThenticate plagiarism-probing system, who said he had easily found several examples of alleged plagiarism in Coulter's new "Godless" book and in her Universal columns from the past year. Several blogs had earlier found these and other examples.
Kerr added that Universal may also use a plagiarism-finding tool from Barrie's company.
The Universal spokeswoman said Barrie has yet to return her call (he hasn't returned E&P's calls either), but added that she did hear from a sales-division person at the iParadigms company with which Barrie is affiliated. Kerr said she was told that iParadigms wasn't sure if it "could provide the same information about Coulter as was given to the Post," but that the syndicate "could subscribe to the service that provided the information" to that newspaper.
"This tool is a service sold through subscription on LexisNexis," said Kerr. "We use the research tool on LexisNexis quite a bit. The plagiarism tool is called Copyguard and is about a year old. We'll want to set up a trial period and of course get pricing on this tool, but it sounds like something that would benefit us. I don't know how long it will take to get a trial period set up."
Universal syndicates Coulter's column to more than 100 newspapers.
Does Ann Coulter need a spanking?
Yeah, they'll start all of this...tomorrow.
She used the word "the" which has already been used by multiple other authors.
Some of the 'evidence' is pretty thin...like the 'list'. But the outers allude to a 48 word verbatim lifted from something in a newspaper from a long way back...without attribution. We'll see!
There was an earlier thread about this. Apparently she "plagiarized" sections of her own columns (as every columnist does when writing a book) and some quote off a federal government website.
They are just DESPERATE to find something -- anything! -- to stop people from buying this book.
Nah, it's not plagerism. They're called FOOTNOTES!
I'd say yes she does and I will volunteer.
No, and you're not giving it to her. And that's final. LOL
God, the left is so desparate. Pitiful...
Full Disclosure: I'm not in line, I just want to make a vlog of the spankings and charge per view... :-D
Cheers!
Barrie, CEO of iParadigms, told The Post that one 25-word passage from the "Godless" chapter titled "The Holiest Sacrament: Abortion" appears to have been lifted nearly word for word from Planned Parenthood literature published at least 18 months before Coulter's 281-page book was released.
A separate, 24-word string from the chapter "The Creation Myth" appeared about a year earlier in the San Francisco Chronicle with just one word change - "stacked" was changed to "piled."
Maybe in someone's twisted fantasy world she did, but I highly doubt it. Ms. Coulter will continue on to publish another fascinating and entertaining book.
She DID take the words right out of my mouth in many paragraphs of several of her books.
Don't call for volunteers or this could quickly turn into an X-Rated forum
See #12. Fantasy worlds are neat, but when you try to live in them, reality can bite.
Anne is the sledgehammer of truth. Michael Moore is a fictional entity.
Among the violations that the committee found Churchill had committed were falsification, fabrication, plagiarism, failure to comply with established standard regarding author names on publications, and a “serious deviation from accepted practices in reporting results from research.”

You don't know what the H you're talking about, you never read her books, never read her statements, just making the same blind, out-of-context, ad-hominem attacks that the Left themselves make on a daily basis.
