Citations? edit
There we no citations for James Bovard's criticisms, so I deleted that section. Show us some evidence of your claims. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.115.197.148 (talk) 16:04, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
- There are, in fact, two citations. Both go to official biographies of Bovard, who apparently brags about the criticism he's received. One of the links was bad, but you can check it out here: [1]. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 20:20, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
These are not actual citations; this is merely Bovard bragging about criticisms he allegedly received. Show me an actual citation of the head of the FBI, IRS, FEMA, or any other such organization. Until then, the section should be deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.232.78.242 (talk) 22:04, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
- I've (re-)deleted that section and the unsourced "Acclaim" section. Will Beback talk 22:39, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
My main criticism of the Bovard book I've read (The Bush Betrayal) is that he relies heavily on secondary sources rather than primary sources. Lippard (talk) 03:28, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
NPOV edit
Whatever happened to Wikipedia's NPOV policy. This article violates it in spades! Do you suppose whoever inserted all that negativity doesn't particularly care for Mr. Bovard's work? Ya think, maybe??? Dick Kimball (talk) 18:16, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
