Talk:Kevin Phillips (political commentator)

message: "In American Theocracy Phillips has come full circle, becoming a very harsh critic of the Republican Party (GOP)." Sounds more like a half-circle to me.

replies: text: It is inaccurate since he has written previous books which were as critical of the GOP. Also this sentence is redundant echoing the exact same sentiment in an earlier paragraph. PBS journalist Allen Dwight Callahan[1] describes the GOP "Politics Of Radical Religion, Oil, And Borrowed Money In The 21st Century" the book's subtitle and theme, as an "Unholy Alliance."[2] Is confusing and should perhaps be re-written: Allen Dwight Callahan[1] states the book's theme is that the GOP, Radical Religion, Oil, And Borrowed Money are an "Unholy Alliance."[2] Nitpyck (talk) 22:47, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

message: Now with the sub-prime mess, the New Republic has removed the link #6 for the quote "However, Joseph Loconte, of the conservative thinktank the Heritage Foundation labeled it a work of "irrational, fantastical, near-nativist charges" at:
(http://www.tnr.com/doc.mhtml?i=w061023&s=locontesullivan102406)
from their web site. 
The Heritage Foundation web site doesn't carry Joseph Loconte's article on Kevin Phillips or American Theocracy.

 ARTICLE- The New Republic Online  Publication Date: October 24, 2006
**This is part one of a four-part debate between Joseph Loconte and Amy Sullivan about religious conservatives and the Bush administration. "Compared with the irrational, fantastical, near-nativist charges of a theocratic coup--from Kevin Phillips, Michelle Goldberg, Randall Balmer, et cetera--your complaint is like a fall breeze on an August afternoon." Clearly this is not a review of the book but a general attack on critics of the religious right. Nitpyck (talk) 14:26, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Critical reception 

message: On 6 June, User:Rirhodes added a section to this article titled 'Marxist Parallels in Phillips Analysis', claiming alleged similarities between Phillips' work and that of Marxist theorist Harry Magdoff. This section does not contain any references, and looks suspiciously like original research to me. Can anyone provide evidence that this is a notable criticism of Phillips, and has been made by reliable sources? If not, then under the WP:BLP policy, it should be deleted.

message: Why no mention of his book about the Bush family. Is that not his magnum opus?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.51.226.91 (talk) 05:07, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Bush family book

message: Without some pretty reliable citation the word "virulent" reeks of POV.  And this article lacks balance by spending too much space on his most recent writing and not enough on his more interesting earlier books. Nitpyck (talk) 19:13, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
