Wow, not only is she bat-shit crazy, but now we come to find out that she's as lazy in her work as every other tight-wing pundit.

'NY Post' Cites Evidence That Ann Coulter Plagiarized Parts of Book, Columns (http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1002765299)

What's even funnier about it was that the story was boke by the NY Post, not the Times (the paper she says has it out for her).

I understand the Coulter plagiarism part, but where do you get the "every other tight-wing pundit"?

You're saying that William F. Buckley was a heavy duty plagiarist? Christopher Hitchens? Eh?

I'm going to guess that the right wing people she plagarized from didn't plagarize.

Coulter is such a joke. By merely existing, she does more damage to the right-wing than all liberal pundits combined.

I actually think she could care less about the right.

She's making money, and doing a very good job of making money.

Nothing more, nothing less.

Oh, I'm sure that's how SHE feels about it. It's just delightful to watch her take so many people down into the gutter with her. :)

I don't know what to believe less: Ann Coulter or the New York Post!

It's like Henry Kissinger and Karl Rove arguing about which one of them is a bigger dickhead. :p

Would you say the same of Michael Moore?

Would you say the same of Michael Moore?
Yes. He's even come out and said he doesn't care if anything in his films are true or factual - he says he's trying to make people laugh and be entertained.

So they will buy tickets.

except that those crazy fucks actually like and respect her fascist ass, and invite her to speak at major right-wing events, sharing a stage with the vice prez and the senate leadership.

she ought to be a joke, but she isn't treated like one by the psuedo-fash movement calling itself conservative these days.

You're saying that William F. Buckley was a heavy duty plagiarist? Christopher Hitchens? Eh?

Yeah, be careful. Christopher Hitchens' Why Orwell Matters is realy splendid, really entertaining and really really useful. And he's known to be honest and forthright as they come. He's not a lazy barztard nor a plagiarist.

Once again, we need to differentiate between "thinking conservatives" and "hyper-aggressive unquestioned-aphorism-spewing regressives". Very few of the latter hold much weight with the former. In fact, I suspect they feel pretty awful about them.

I'm a "left-wing" person, in case it's of any relevance.

Would you say the same of Michael Moore?
Yes, possibly more so. Coulter's never gone to the film arena. However, they're both money-grubbing freaks, both who lie and mislead so often that they obviously can't believe everything that they are saying.

There is such a thing as a "conservative intellectual," as hard as that is to comprehend or visualize in today's bush-FOX incarnation of conservatism.

I'd say a pundit differs from an intellectual.

I guess the problem is that pundits claim to be intellectuals.

No matter - the Democrats have seen fit to emulate the Republican media model by putting up their own idiot pundits and radio talk shows.

An intellectual can be a pundit, but a pundit is quite likely not to be an intellectual.

Yup, Al Franken is not a John Kenneth Galbraith or John Rawls.

Which makes her a good little whack-job capitalist, doesn't it?

Of course she cares about the right--they're the ones paying the bills, after all. It's not like she's actually selling those books to the public, after all--she's a best seller because conservative book clubs buy up her books in bulk. The situation got so bad that the NY Times started putting a little mark next to books that make the list that way (and man, did the conservatives screech when they started that).

Of the conservatives I know, none own a Coulter book. I own Slander, just so I could see it for myself.

On the other hand, I know at least ten Democrats who own several of her books. Each wants to constantly show me passages, as though they found a copy of Mein Kampf right after Hitler wrote it in prison.

She also eats babies and supports terrorism..
Who the hell cares.

Yep, she's crazy. :)

and rich...

What's that say about her readership?

And skanky!

She is a total nutcase. She's the one who said the US should invade Islamic countries, kill their leaders, and forcibly convert them to Christianity. Now there's a good idea..... :rolleyes:

THIS is a christian country which was founded upon CHRISTIAN beliefs,

Oh, I know plenty of conservatives who own them, and who believe every word in them. My point was more that Coulter makes more money from right-wing think tanks and book clubs than she does from sales at Barnes and Noble and Borders and Amazon. Her books really don't sell that well outside the book club circuit. Hell, I got an email offer from GOPUSA (someone signed me up as a joke) when her last book came out offering it to me for five bucks--hardback and first run. I declined. Buf if they're offering it for five bucks with no strings attached that early in the promotion cycle, then sales must not have been rosy for her.

But the people who are financing her don't really care about the book sales--the books are just a convenient excuse to get her booked on cable "news" shows where she can continue to be a face for the extreme right.

Well, you should know everything about plagiarism...

I heard her talk once... she's not very persuasive unless you already agree, and then it's just a feel-good stand up comedy show. I do know a guy who managed to get her to sign a book by one of her "liberal" opponents... apparently she got mad when she noticed. :D

What's that say about her readership?

Well, people bought Al Franken's book, too.

Most books that are published today are not worth reading, let alone paying for.

But of course, she's above all that. After all, she has integrity and libs don't. Libs are godless.

Didn't she ever hear "thou shalt not steal"?

Didn't you know? God gave a special dispensation to conservatives that allows them to be total hypocrites and yet still receive his divine love all over their faces.

In this case, divine love = a shitload of money

You keep repeating that like it somehow validates her nutcasery.

If I could publish the stuff I post here (and I know some of it is really stimulating for some Democrats), and make a few million a year, I wouldn't care if it were right or wrong.

Michael Moore had an excellent explanation along those lines. He said that he does not care if his films are accurate, truthful, etc. All he cares is that the audience is entertained, and he makes money. Period.

I happen to think that Coulter is not actually a nutcase - she's just making money the old fashioned way - by getting a rise out of everyone.

That doesn't pay the bills now, does it?

After all, if I'm going to eat at Morton's a lot, I'm going to need more than American Express.

I'm really hoping she'll try and defend herself. That'll be the best part of this whole discovery.

That means we'll have to see her apple on tv more. Maybe she'll just hole up and disappear.

Which just reminds me of how incredibly stupid my country's citizens tend to be.
