Still not convinced he isn't Tony Dungy in a cowboy hat.

 

[Chris Craig]

Of course he is joining the administration. They will probably put him in charge of interogation methods at GTMO

Hahahaha . . . perfect.

Good man. As long as he can keep himself away from Russia, he'll be great for our country.

It makes me wonder if CNN is capable of being unbiased and rational about anything by this point. They would make up some bullshit against a Nun who feeds the poor if they thought she voted for Trump.

You can forget about the wonder.

Do you understand that plagiarism is provable? It's not an opinion.

This isn't on CNN, it's on David Clarke. It's not the biggest "crime" in the world, but it sure looks like he's guilty.

It's not a crime. Naval Academy accepted it and issued him a masters degree.

It's not a crime, but the school (I don't think it is precisely the Naval Academy) presumably didn't know that he'd plagiarized it when they granted the degree. They seem to say they are going to investigate it. They could rescind the degree.

He copied part of the 9/11 report.

This happened in 2013. There has been software where you can enter a paper and check these things around for years.

Yes. So stupidity is also one of his "crimes".

Exactly. If you want to be butthurt at someone, be butthurt at the college he went to.

Funny how this seems to suddenly be a problem when he joins the Trump Administration. Nobody gave two shits about his supposed plagiarism until CNN got involved.

Gee....funny how that works, huh?

Yes. So stupidity is also one of his "crimes".

barfo

Just come out and say that you don't like the guy, barfo. Stop hiding behind CNN's constantly exaggerated claims and just admit it already.

That way, we can just laugh at you and move on. Only an idiot takes CNN seriously about anything. Their credibility is completely shot right now.

He must take a lot of pride in that master's degree.

 

[barfo]

Sure, they could have checked his thesis for plagiarism. Since I've never heard of the Naval Postgraduate School before today, I'm not sure what to say about the school. Maybe their standards suck. Maybe they trust their students not to cheat. Dunno.

Funny how this seems to suddenly be a problem when he joins the Trump Administration. Nobody gave two shits about his supposed plagiarism until CNN got involved.

Nobody knew about it (other than, presumably, Clarke himself) before CNN reported on it.

Gee....funny how that works, huh?

Yeah, weird how federal officials get more scrutiny than sheriffs. Surely must be some sort of conspiracy.

Just come out and say that you don't like the guy, barfo.

Ok. I don't like the guy. Not that that's the issue here.

Stop hiding behind CNN's constantly exaggerated claims and just admit it already.

I just did. Happy now?

That way, we can just laugh at you and move on. Only an idiot takes CNN seriously about anything. Their credibility is completely shot right now.

You don't have to take CNN's word for it. You can examine the original documents, if you care to. "The truth is out there". See, I quoted that phrase.

In 2013, Clarke received a Master's degree in security studies from the Naval Postgraduate School. In May 2017, CNN alleged that Clarke had plagiarized portions of the thesis he completed as part of the requirements for this degree.[8][9] The thesis ("Making U.S. security and privacy rights compatible"),[10] was found to have lifted material verbatim from several sources without proper citation, including reports by the American Civil Liberties Union, The 9/11 Commission Report, and George W. Bush's memoir Decision Points.[9] The Naval Postgraduate School has since removed the thesis from its website. He did provide footnotes from the sources that he used, but did not properly place quotations around the words of his sources.[11]

So let me get this straight....if he had placed quotations around the words of his sources, then this wouldn't be an issue? Or are "footnotes" not the same as providing a "citation"?

Nobody knew about it (other than, presumably, Clarke himself) before CNN reported on it.

CNN is as objective as Breitbart. You can't possibly take anything they say seriously about anything. Otherwise, you might as well take Breitbart seriously.

I don't. Nor should anyone else.

Yeah, weird how federal officials get more scrutiny than sheriffs. Surely must be some sort of conspiracy.

Surely you held Clinton to the same standard as you are judging Clarke, right? I mean, really....a few plagiarized passages in a thesis? Really?

I don't recall you wetting your panties on here when faced with Hillary's overwhelming corruption and incompetence.

I'm not questioning whether or not Clarke was wrong. I'm questioning your objectivity on this matter.

Personally, I could give a flying fuck if he copied parts of reports into his thesis, because there are far more important things to worry about. And quite frankly, this kind of nonsense is the same kind of partisan, one-upmanship bullshit that keeps our government divided. It's the kind of juvenile behavior that I would expect people to bicker about in a comment section on some third-rate news site somewhere.

But that's just me.

Ok. I don't like the guy. Not that that's the issue here.

Yeah....nobody believes that on this forum. Especially not me. You've demonstrated clear bias with every single anti-Republican/Trump/Conservative issue that pops up on this forum. So I'm afraid you're going to have to do better than that.

You don't have to take CNN's word for it. You can examine the original documents, if you care to.

I don't. Frankly, I'd rather jack off with a cactus than engage in this juvenile witch-hunt over things like Trump's tweets and how many scoops of ice cream he gets.

 

[barfo]

So let me get this straight....if he had placed quotations around the words of his sources, then this wouldn't be an issue?

That's correct. It may seem a bit academic, but then Masters degrees are a bit academic by definition.

CNN is as objective as Breitbart. You can't possibly take anything they say seriously about anything. Otherwise, you might as well take Breitbart seriously.

I don't. Nor should anyone else.

You are shooting the messenger rather than examining the message. One can independently verify that what CNN reported is true.

Surely you held Clinton to the same standard as you are judging Clarke, right? I mean, really....a few plagiarized passages in a thesis? Really?

Apparently it was more than a few. But yes, if Clinton turns out to have plagiarized any of her academic work, I would call her a plagiarist also.

There are plenty of plagiarists out there, Clarke is not unique. Nor are they all republican.

I'm not questioning whether or not Clarke was wrong. I'm questioning your objectivity on this matter.

How does my objectivity matter here? Even if I am the most flagrantly hypocritical partisan hack ever (and I'm not, I was only 3rd in the latest ratings) Clarke either is or is not a plagiarist. It has nothing to do with me and everything to do with him.

But that's just me.

Yep, that's just you. Arguing about it, and saying that it isn't worth arguing over.

Yeah....nobody believes that on this forum. Especially not me. You've demonstrated clear bias with every single anti-Republican/Trump/Conservative issue that pops up on this forum. So I'm afraid you're going to have to do better than that.

So what if I'm biased? So are you, you know. Neither of our biases caused Clarke to plagiarize his thesis.

I don't. Frankly, I'd rather jack off with a cactus than engage in this juvenile witch-hunt over things like Trump's tweets and how many scoops of ice cream he gets.

So don't. No one is forcing you to post about this topic.

Sarcasm? Really?

Look....if you want to join in with the hysterical masses over missed quotation marks, then you go right ahead. But those who choose to ignore the almost 30 years of good work he's done in Law Enforcement for his community and his State over missed quotation marks obviously have nothing better to do with their time.

You are shooting the messenger rather than examining the message. One can independently verify that what CNN reported is true.

I've examined enough of it for myself. Missed quotation marks....boo hoo. I mean, it's not like he lied about missing emails from a high-profile job or anything....

Apparently it was more than a few. But yes, if Clinton turns out to have plagiarized any of her academic work, I would call her a plagiarist also.

There are plenty of plagiarists out there, Clarke is not unique. Nor are they all republican.

Ignoring the point and making your own. Need I say more?

I refuse to believe that you're so stupid that you honestly thought that I was referring to Clinton plagiarizing papers. Surely you're smarter than that.

How does my objectivity matter here? Even if I am the most flagrantly hypocritical partisan hack ever (and I'm not, I was only 3rd in the latest ratings) Clarke either is or is not a plagiarist. It has nothing to do with me and everything to do with him.

It matters because it's a constant theme with you; almost on the level of Rasta's twitter posts. After a while, nobody takes such opinions seriously if they aren't reasonably objective about both sides of the political spectrum.

For example: I REALLY don't like Clinton or Obama. BUT....even I have the decency to realize that Clinton didn't plan out the Benghazi attack and murder Chris Stevens (I think she was negligent in how she handled it, but it wasn't premeditated in murder). And Obama isn't a Muslim who was born in Kenya. And yeah, the Republicans could have worked with him a bit better than they did.

See? That's being objective. Are you capable of doing the same for the Right? Your history says otherwise.

So sure...perhaps your objectivity on THIS particular topic isn't relevant to the subject matter. But....it sure is a reoccurring theme with you against anything that has to do with the Right.

Yep, that's just you. Arguing about it, and saying that it isn't worth arguing over.

No barfo. MOST rational people would look at this subject and go "yeah, it's the media making a mountain out of a mole-hill". Except you.

So don't. No one is forcing you to post about this topic.

You certainly seem annoyed by the fact that I'm not freaking out with the rest of the Left over this issue.

Missed quotation marks? Someone at CNN needs a new line of work.
