Plagiarism!

Not exactly a case of Malkinian plagiarism, but good enough. Ann Coulter has been caught lifting the words of others. Again. Ron Brynaert has the goods over at Raw Story:

“In the August 24, 2004, New York Times, science writer Gina Kolata claimed that no one had succeeded in using adult stem cells ‘to treat diseases,’” writes Coulter.

To prove the Times science writer wrong, Coulter then provides a “short list” of sixteen “successful treatments achieved by adult stem cell research.”

But fifteen of Coulter’s examples are nearly identical to a longer list of seventeen compiled by the Illinois Right To Life website, which has been available since at least September of 2003.

The anti-abortion website doesn’t provide any sources for its list of examples of “successful experimental treatments [that] have been achieved using ethical sources of stem cells.”

Pushing unsubstantiated propaganda from fringe groups? Michelle would never do that… Or would she?

Much more over at Raw Story.
