That final paragraph is most interesting... suggesting that the plagiarized material was NOT COPYRIGHTED! Lawyers should have fun with this one! With all the exposure GODLESS has received on TV interviews, a plagiarism assault is hardly a surprise.

"Coulter's latest controversy includes a high-tech twist. TheNew York Post enlisted the Berkeley, Calif.-based iParadigms to run the author's material through its iThenticate software program, a web-based plagiarism detection system."

Has Ann Coulter commented on these charges? If not, she should.

Interesting. Did the Post do that before or after she called them 'the second crappiest paper in New York'?

The publisher of "Godless," the Crown Publishing Group, issued a statement saying it had reviewed the "the allegations of plagiarism" in her book and "found them to be as trivial and meritless as they are irresponsible."

Glad to see her publisher standing by her.....

Does this qualify her to run for the Senate?

You would think it would be a simple matter to provide whatever material that was supposedly copied. But the moonbat idiots don't. They spew and provide nothing except inuendo.

Of all unlikely places, Daily Kos is defending Ann.


Ann Coulter plagiarism charges overblown

TPM Muckracker has an itemized list of Ann Coulter's supposed plagiarism, and sorry to say, there's not much there.

Coulter is a lot of things, but it doesn't look like plagiarism is one of them.

The Kossacks are enraged he would print this.

To quote - and plagiarize - Toby Keith: " You'll be sorry you messed, with the U S of A (US of Ann), she'll (sic) put a boot in your @ss, it's the American way"

Ann will not go down quietly.

I feel sorry for the Post et al.

It'll get ugly, but Ann will emerge victorious.

Just throw out accusations!

Isn't that how it works?

If they bring nothing, after they have already publicly accused Ann, they themselves should be held accountable in court.

I'm taking bets right now that when Ann does respond to this, the words JOE BIDEN will be factored prominently in there! lol!

"Berkeley, Calif.-based iParadigms"

There is a lot more to this story under the surface.

You don't cite an uncopyrighted joke when you don't even know if your source is the original source. Come on. It's not plagiarism to repeat a joke. Nice try. If these are the new rules, we should take a second look at liberal material. Oh...for that matter, how about the way newspapers repeat the Democrat talking points over and over without citing their source. Plagiarism!

I hate to say it, but there may be something to this. I have read her books, and noticed that there are a number of instances in which she used the word "the." I know for a fact "the" has appeared in other publications that were produced long before any of her books ever reached the bookstores. Is it merely coincidence that "the" suddenly shows up in her writings not once, but numerous times?

Whether or not the original source material was copyrighted is irrelevant to charges of plagiarism. "Plagiarism" is the act of passing off another's words or original ideas as though they were your own - to do so is plagiarism, by definition, regardless of the copyright status of the other person's words or ideas.

I still have yet to hear or read ANY liberal fight her on her assertions about liberals. That's the REAL story here....

So the lefties are going after Ann - so what?

It only means that she is effective in exposing their idiocy and hypocrisy. Being attacked by this crowd is a badge of honor... and we should expect no less...

It's so funny and telling that that they are blasting away at her about everything but not even trying to defend the base charge...that they are Godless.
