Why Ann Coulter Is a ***** |

Why Ann Coulter Is a *****, Part 1856 - The Plagiarism Edition:
Sometimes beating up on Ann Coulter is about as easy as making a
nervous little dog ***** itself.
One tiny "boo" in the right direction and that ***** is swimming in
her own fluids.
For surely, in her latest "column" (if by "column," you mean, "a
stomach-churning, cringe-inducing, bowel-releasing journey into the
dark, dank, garbage-stinking recesses of a deranged demi-brain"),
Coulter sets herself upon a Tower of Babble teetering so badly that a
flea flick would send her screaming, such sweet screaming, plunging
onto the rocky ground below.
Coulter uses the recent, narrow (and wimpy and confusing) Supreme
Court decision, that displays of the Ten Commandments outside of a
larger historical context are overtly religious and are forbidden in
courthouses, and attempts to say something about what taxpayers have
"paid" for, going into a mad, ranting litany of examples, all of which
combined cost your average taxpayer less than a nickel.
What's fun, so incredibly fuckin' fun about this kind of Coulter
"logic" is how many different ways you can take it down.
Over at Pandagon, Amanda goes to town with the sarcasm.
Another approach would be to point out how some of the things she
cites as outrageous opinion making are actually true.
Check out her statements that she says are quotes from exhibits at the
Smithsonian.
Or one could make the case that nearly all of her examples are over a
fuckin' decade old, at least.
But instead, how about this:
Ann Coulter appears to have plagiarized a section of her column by not
citing the December 1993 edition of The Flummery Digest.
http://www.praxagora.com/sierra/flum/9312.htm
The digest is devoted to calling out what it says is "offensive" art
that receives public funding.
One of its sections in December 1993 lists a bunch of NEA grant
recipients, which, on first glance and, hell, even on second, look
like Coulter lifted without attribution from this site or from Alice
Goldfarb Marquis' 1995 book Art Lessons, which Flummery actually cites
as its source.
Here are a couple of examples:
From Ann Coulter, talking about what taxpayers have funded:
"A photo of a newborn infant with its mouth open titled to suggest the
infant was available for oral sex."
From The Flummery Digest:
"The title of a photo of a newborn infant with its mouth open
suggested that the infant was available for oral sex."
From Ann Coulter:
"A photo of a woman breastfeeding an infant, titled 'Jesus Sucks.'"
From The Flummery Digest:
"One otherwise tame photograph of a woman breastfeeding an infant was
titled 'Jesus Sucks.'"
From Ann Coulter:
"A show titled 'DEGENERATE WITH A CAPITAL D' featuring a display of
the remains of the artist's own aborted baby."
From The Flummery Digest:
"'Degenerate with a Capital D'...included 'Alchemy Cabinet' by Shawn
Eichman, featuring the remains of the artist's own aborted baby."
From Ann Coulter:
"Performance of giant bloody tampons, satanic bunnies, three-foot
feces and vibrators."
From The Flummery Digest:
"[T]he performance art of Johanna Went...relies upon props such as
giant body tampons, satanic bunnies, three-foot turds, and dildos."
(Hey, Coulter's got a mainstream audience.)
Is this plagiarism?
Coincidence?
A work by the "American Life League" describes Eichman's work as "her
own dismembered second-trimester aborted baby next to the obligatory
twisted wire coat hanger," so, you know, there's other ways to state
it.
Minor *****?
Perhaps, but, remember, as Coulter told us we should believe about
Bill Clinton (in her first "book"), seemingly minor transgressions
point to larger patterns of deception.
Like the Rude Pundit said, like makin' a chihuahua *****, like stealin'
candy from a baby, like settin' a passed-out hobo on fire, it's just
way too easy to take Coulter apart.
But, my, oh, my, what fun bloodsport it is.

The writer may have had some point to make, but I don't care any more
to wade through his terrible writing and dripping bias to get to it.
Someone should explain to this moron that an article's hook isn't
normally meant to be a meat hook mindlessly wielded by Leatherface.
Dismissed.
