      Right?

      The AP’s own hypocrisy on this, from the self-same article (emphasis mine):

      “plagiarism, a cardinal sin in academia, as a possible new weapon in conservative attacks on higher education”

      Let’s repeat that:A cardinal sin in academia. It’s the metric of these very institutions that condemns her plagiarism, as stated within the AP’s own article.

      When you’re ideologically posessed, any argument to achieve your goals is acceptable. This is what’s known as sophistry, dating back to Plato. The goal of the sophist is to “win” the argument, rather than develop understanding or search for truth.

        It’s funny. It’s a weapon! No, it’s not. Harvard should be ashamed for not catching it before. This should have been caught in her academic review and again when she was hired. She has a degree from Harvard. What does that tell you about their standards?
