Talk:Paul Findley

message: Interested parties and administrators should know that Al-Silverburg is actively exercising his POV bias in vandalizing the insertion of Findley's 'They Dare to Speak Out' in the references on the AIPAC article page. -As of today he's doing this with his unsubstantiated charge that Findley consorts with Holocaust deniers.

replies: text: I don't have the first edition, but the paperback lists copyright dates of 1985 and 1989 so I think it is safe to use 1985. Jgui (talk) 20:35, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

message: The full extent of the views he is famous for is not very apparent in the article.
Could I add a sentence giving his view of the cause of 9/11?
As a precedent, see the article on Michael Scheuer.
If there are objections, please explain here. Precis 00:34, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

message: I just removed the below since it is from a fairly crappy one-person site.  I am unsure where it was originally published but it is republished mostly on racist sites.   To include it we need to find where it was originally published I believe.  --LuckyLittleGrasshopper 02:05, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Findley wrote that "U.S. policy on the Mideast is made in Israel, not in Washington," and also commented that "once beloved worldwide, the U.S. government finds itself reviled in most countries because it provides unconditional support of Israeli violations of the United Nations Charter, international law, and the precepts of all major religious faiths.". Liberating America From Israel, Paul Findley, Counter Currents, July 23, 2004
As far as I know, this was published in a number of places simultaneously.
One reputable source is the relatively moderate English language Saudi paper "Arab News".  See
.

message: :Image:Theydarespeakoutbookcover.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Theydarespeakoutbookcover.JPG

message: I have removed the following sentences because they are cited to a non-Reliable Source publisher of religious Christian books (Thomas Nelson Inc) by a writer with an obvious agenda. This is not suitable for BLP and should not be re-inserted.
:He was known as "[[Yasser Arafat| Arafat's  best friend in Congress." Infiltration: how Muslim spies and subversives have penetrated Washington, 	Paul E. Sperry, Thomas Nelson Inc, 2005, p. 272-3
:Findley's congressional campaigns were heavily financed by Saudi Arabia. 
I also removed the following from the WP article which is simply inaccurate:
:Findley claims that "Jewish newspapers from coast to coast" called him a "practicing anti-Semite," but gives no citations. 
In fact what Findley actually wrote on that page is that:
"Meanwhile, Democrat Robinson [his opponent in the election] solicited campaign contributions through advertising in Jewish newspapers from coast to coast, stirring up interest by calling me a "practicing anti-Semite, who is one of the worst enemies that Jews and Israel have ever faced in the history of the U.S. Congress." He drew funds from fifty states. In all, the campaign cost $1.2 million - the most expensive in Illinous history. We each spent about $600,000. University students from New York and California, as well as other states, came to central Illinois to staff Robinson's phone banks and handle other campaign chores".
For WP to mis-represent this in the manner noted above is amateurish and certainly not encyclopedic. Thank you, Jgui (talk) 22:10, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  More bias supported by More propagandist sources 

message: The New York Times review by Adam Clymer, described the book as "an angry, one-sided book that seems often to be little more than a stringing together of stray incidents ... [it] does not really accept the idea that people of any political point of view are entitled to organize, support their friends and try to defeat the people they think are their enemies".[9]
Why dont you add a good review also? How is it not biased?KevinFrom (talk) 12:59, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
