"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."
How could she plagiarize something that the newspapers don't have guts enough to publish in the first place?
And, pray tell, how do you 'plagiarize' something that isn't first copywritten?
"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.'"
Baseless Liberal witch hunt.
Political Author Coulter Accuses Newspaper of Treason
So there, I guess they're even.
Hmmm, fishy sounding. Let's run it through the Henchster De-Spin-erator and see what happens:
"Coulter's latest controversy literary and financial success includes a high low-tech twist attack. The New York Post enlisted paid the Bezerkeley, Calif.-based iParadigms to run the author's material through its iThentfornicate software program, a web-based plagiarism truth detflection system."
There, much better. I knew that De-Spin-erator would fix it right up.
So, does this qualify her to be a Senator from Delaware?
Charges of plagiarism?
BRING THEM ON!
Keep it up ANN we need more just like you!!! And we'll stand with you and behind you protecting your back. You've got 1000's in the foxhole with you. ;o)
Software is only as good as the "architecture that goes into it. It is just as susceptible to charges of "plagiarism" (copyright infringement) as any other complex collection of instructions.
The ultimate irony may result from a close examination of "iThenticate".
Personally, I would not trust anything that comes out of Berkeley...
And yet 50 different media types can steal the word "gravitas" within days of each other.
Let's hope they don't find any viagra in Ann's luggage. That would be a national scandal.
I just picked up a copy of her book from Barnes & Noble less than an hour ago.
The cashier, a cute red headed guy, dropped her book on the counter and it made a loud thud. I was going to make a funny comment about it, but didn't have time as he wanted to alert me that there were newspaper articles accusing the author of plagarism.
I told them that I was aware of the accusations and said that she was a nasty woman (nasty in the sense that she does not mince words). He then wanted to know why I was still buying her book, I said, "I just wanted to piss of liberals and support Coulter, it looks like it's working."
Conversation ended there, oh well. :)
"They" want her pretty bad. This is almost comical.
Next week there will be a small note on page 17 stating that there were no examples of plagarism found. It will be just like the notes that there were no charges against Rush based on the Viagra he allegedly had obtained illegally.
Put the charge in Large Font and put the apology in small font and who can complain?
Shalom.
