Talk:Jon Bruning

message: Besides the fact that this is from a blog and this is a BLP, it's kind of cherry-picked and gives the impression that Bruning is inconsistent. To readd this we need more context, and preferably treatment of his current political positions. Right now it's unbalanced and UNDUE.– Lionel (talk) 02:33, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Liberal views 

message: This section needs to be removed.  Although is cited, the sources are under question as bias.  Accord to Wikipedia, Talking Points Memo is a left leaning website.  Since, Jon Bruning is a right leaning candidate, Talking Points Memo is bias towards Jon Buning.  The Politico source is a Nebraska TV Station, but the Nebraska TV Station got there information from American Bridge 21st Century who were at the even tracking Jon Bruning to see if he would have a "Macaca" moment.  American Bridge 21st Century only released a 1 min of a 15 min speech.  Everything is out of context.  It is like saying "I hate cats, when they scratch me", and only report "I hate cats".  
During a speech in August of 2011, Bruning compared welfare recipients to scavenging raccoons. Bruning said his comment might have been "inartful" but that he was trying to make a point about spending cuts being necessary.[13][14]  — Preceding unsigned comment added by West1806 (talk • contribs) 02:35, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I think you may misunderstand some of Wikipedia's policies. Many sources that we use on Wikipedia slant right or left or some other way, but that does not necessarily disqualify them as reliable sources. Please see WP:RS. Additionally, who made the original recording of the speech is immaterial. Wikipedia is based on the standards of notability and verifiability. That he made the above comments is certainly verifiable, and based on the local and national media coverage of the incident, I would say it is also notable. See WP:Verifiability and WP:Notability for more on each of those. Arbor8 (talk) 17:08, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

message: 70.184.221.180 keeps removing part of the "controversy" section with no summary other than the "Undid revision xxxxxxxxx by User:Example". That section has proper references to reliable sources and is neutral, so it's fine. 70.184, please stop removing that material, or at least provide a reason for it.

replies: text: 198.228.201.145 and 198.228.201.157 have done the same. Thay are recently back from 3 month individual blocks superceded by a range block, so I have warned them for using multiple IPs. Probably the same user as 70.184 but not enough history to be sure. Meters (talk) 21:45, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Add 174.19.83.253 to the list too. Meters (talk) 00:26, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Protection requested yet again. Meters (talk) 00:57, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I wonder how they IP hop like that. The IPs geolocate to different parts of Kansas and Nebraska. David1217 What I've done 04:06, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I see from earlier threads that this same edit war has been going on for nearly one year now. Can we make a case for calling the current IPs more socks of the indef'ed User:West1806? Some of the IPd are listed above but there are more all the time... they are pretty careful to only make 2 or at most 3 reverts per IP. Meters (talk) 05:26, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: They're too careful about using different IPs and not breaking 3RR to just be the politician's PR department... I agree, they're probably West1806. David1217 What I've done 15:40, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

text: Okay, great! Happy editing! David1217 What I've done 03:55, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that "scavenging" should not be used. One of hthe cited refs used it in their headline, but it does not appear that Bruning used it. On the other hand, it does not appear that he used "clever" either. "Not stupid" (which he did use) is not the same as "clever". I've changed it not to use either word (just "to raccoons") and I hope that is satisfactory to everyone. Meters (talk) 04:40, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
