Having actually read a few of her books, I'm not persuaded that even those who go, "Oh she's not a good historian" have a leg to stand on. They do not, you see, get around to explaining just how she's so poor at it. Meanwhile, Coulter continues to footnote her paragraphs to primary sources, making a specialty of damning her targets with their own words.
Birthdate? Voter registration???? Are these here or there on any matter of consequence? Or are they mere excuses, intended to prop a very silly set of fools from the collapse they should rightfully undergo that the way may be clear of the obstacles they present? Fah -- away with the lot of these.

Editor & Publisher wrote a story about Coulter's copy culture, using a program iThenticate and found several textbook plagiarisms in her latest screech "Godless" and that she's passing off, as her own writing, the works of people at the L.A. Times, the Heritage Foundation and even Planned Parenthood, without giving any of them even a footnote's worth of credit.
Apparently Coulter rips off other people's writing in a chapter entitled "The Holiest Sacrament, Abortion" where there's a 25-word passage straight out of literature from Planned Parenthood. It had been taken actually word for word, concerns the president of the Mississippi Baptist Convention, but there is no reference given. In another chapter, entitled "The Creation Myth," Coulter copied another passage, 24 words, that is neither hers nor credited, in a passage about the galactic ruler Xenu. Coulter steals that from the San Francisco Chronicle.
The longest stolen passage on page five of Coulter's book, 33 words long, from a 1999 article in the Portland Press. And in Coulter's UP columns for the past 12 months, the iThenticate program found her ripping from an L.A. Times article and the Heritage Foundation.
In a colum from Aug.05 she "borrowed" six different parts of an LA Times article.
You, as a gradute, should know this is a typical flunk a 1a English student would do and that's what iThenticate is developped for.
I would imagine a hack with anorexia nervosa, fiddling with her birthday and voter registration is hardly a person a graduate would refer to?
BTW I found Coulter's “I've never seen people enjoying their husbands' deaths so much”
psychopathic screeching comments especially repulsive.
