Researcher Alleges Potential Plagiarism in 11 Passages of Kerry's Writings
New York Sun ^ | October 26, 2004 | JOSH GERSTEIN

Posted on 10/26/2004 1:33:26 AM PDT by TFine80

An academic researcher has found 11 passages in Senator Kerry's published writings that appear to have been taken from other works without attribution, though experts disagree about whether the copying should be considered plagiarism.

Six of the passages come from Mr. Kerry's 1997 book, "The New War: The Web of Crime That Threatens America's National Security." All bear some similarity to news accounts that preceded publication of the book.

like to try and get a balanced set of viewpoints when I vote, and so I felt this site a good place to analyse the anti-kerry viewpoint. To be honest

Let me know when you start being honest...LOL

on the strength of this site alone, I'd pledge every penny I own to the democrat campaign.

Run along back to DU. You can post with your fellow DUmmies about the time you braved the big, bad FREEREPUBLIC. What a fraud. No wonder you support Kerry.

Plagiarism is where you steal from a source
Research is where you steal from many sources.

Kerry has stolen from multiple sources so he is a researcher and not a plagiarist. - tom



Definition of Plagerism: Plagiarism is where you steal from a source
Research is where you steal from many sources. Kerry has stolen from multiple sources so he is a researcher and not a plagiarist. - Sully (not attributing idea to Tom)

Definition of research: Poster Tom suggests plagiarism is a single source theft of ideas whereas research is a type of grand larceny in the academic world (Capt Tom Post 54). Although Tom may attribute his belief on a platonic model of ideas, most modern scholars suggest that research is the attainment of knowledge in a linear progression, a kind of philosophical evolution in man's epic study for meaning whose conclusions may add or detract from the original study.

See the diff?

To Alcohol: As far a giving you last penny to Kerry, I hope you are wealthy. It's money down a urinal.



If, heaven forbid, Kerry is elected POTUS, alcohol will give his last penny to him one way or another.

Now my advice for those who die (Taxman)
Declare the pennies on your eyes (Taxman)
Cos I'm the taxman, yeah I'm the taxman
And you're working for no one but me (Taxman)

I beg your pardon ...he is about to be elected President of the USA

No,he is about to lose the last election he will ever participate in. From now on he will fall from grace like a turd in a wedding cake.

He has to lie. There is no way he could be elected if he were truthful about himself.

Hel--Lo!!!! Have you listened to any of his speeches?
Does this man EVER use his own phrases?

This is NO SURPRISE AT ALL!!!!!!!

Sorry TF, I didn't mean that to sound like I was
impugning(?) you.

Actually I'm glad someone has exposed this fraud even further. I just don't have a list of his Stolen Speech, like the "Wrong war at the Wrong place at the Wrong time"
theft from some general in reference to Korea in 1953 or so. Would be an excellent research project to put them all together.

The dems could not have picked a worse candidate."

That's probably because the dem's didn't pick their candidate. They realize that now and will express their displeasure on Nov. 2. All of them will, except for those whose ballots are postmarked 'Southlawn Cemetery' or the local office of ACORN.

It's only plagiarism if he ripped off ONE author. If he ripped off lots of people then that's called 'research'.

He faked his purple hearts, slandered his own band of brothers, met with the North Vietnamese, considered assassination of senators. I can handle that. But PLAGIARISM???????? THat's too much.
