Talk:Pat Buchanan

What's wrong with Arbiter's inclusion of alleged racist. He uses the word alleged and frankly Buchanan is a racist, so having the words "alleged" neutralize the statement dont they??StoptheBus18

He can't just throw in allegations without justifying them. WHO says he's a racist? Give some quotes. RickK 19:54, Jul 1, 2004 (UTC)

All right good point. If its to go in the article it should go in a seperate section. But on a personal level? Do you not think he's a racist? StoptheBus18 22:27, 1 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Whether the subject of the article is someone you like or dislike, try to stick to the facts. Putting "alleged racist" into the introductry sentence is not appropriate if there is no context why this is an important aspect to Buchanan in the article. If he is a racist, post evidence that this is so. If he is an "alleged racist", sight who is making the allegation and why. -- Infrogmation 21:47, 2 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I removed the quotes,supplied largely by StoptheBus18, because it seems they furnish a rather narrow and biased or incomplete view of Mr. Buchanan. The selected topics may represent Mr. Buchanan to some degree but they seem to flavor the article politically. Also there are just too many of them. Maybe an effort to add quotes to return them to NPOVishness would be good, or it would just make the collection more ungainly. A transfer to Wikiquote may be an answer.-JD--65.172.205.49 18:35, 24 Jul 2004 (UTC)
