Happy October - Kamala’s a plagiarist

[Horace]

Whoever it is - super persuasive. I've been leaning towards voting for Kamala, but after watching that video - I am more strongly considering voting for Trump.

If only anybody on this forum could persuade me to vote for Kamala. My vote is up for grabs - and I am listening.

Absolutely. But not for money. My price? Compassion. Justice. Empathy. Truth.

Well, then, as far as I'm concerned you're SOL.

It seems a little early for this being the big "surprise". There must be better stuff coming next week. This is just a teaser.

Another seizure.

Congratulations Rufo, you ruined a ghost writer’s career and did nothing to Harris. Nothing at all.

Just the other day Richard Hanania put him a half click above catturd.

Two people commit a journalistic breach of ethics, and you blame the guy who pointed it out.

See post #15.

[jon-nyc]

Neither of them are journalists. The ghost writer (credited) fucked up. Imagining that the person who hired the ghost writer would do an investigation on this level is not unrealistic, it’s comically absurd.

The point stands. Rufo did his Rufo stuff. Kamala is unscathed. No one who didn’t already hate her is thinking about this. Rando ghost writer is done. Good job Chris, look at the engagement your tweet got! Just another day in Magatstan.

[LuFins Dad]

I dunno. Might be kind of interesting when Brett Baeir asks her about it in the interview.

[George K]

Remind me where the buck stops, okay?

[Horace]

She can't even be trusted to fact check a book with her name on it that she couldn't even be trusted to write, and some of us want to give her the keys to the nuclear arsenal.

Terrifying.

I guess you are beginning to use that word to describe anybody who supports Trump over Harris. I mean of course you do, but Rufo actually would have loved it if Trump hadn't won the primary.

Which of the facts are wrong?

I was referencing the present accusations, and had a slip of typing. I meant, check for plagiarism.

After that is settled, we can examine whether the post was tongue in cheek.

[jon-nyc]

The difference is non-trivial. Fact checking is a standard function in publishing. They have departments that do that.

Almost two decades ago when that book was written there weren’t great tools to do the investigation that the German guy did. At any rate I’m unaware of any publishers that do that. Maybe that’ll change in the AI era.

Kudos to the plagiarizers. Wikipedia was 3 years old.

[LuFins Dad]

And from what I understand, the Wikipedia page that was lifted was inaccurate at best and flat out wrong at worst.
