Talk:Oskar Lafontaine

message: Hi Marriex,
while Bild has historically be rather anti-left, that does not automatically make it right wing. It very much lacks the traditional right-wing anti-semitism, for example, and it has been rather friendly to Schröder through much of his tenure. Guest editorial are written by politicians from all major parties, as well as from unionists and managers. So I really think that populist (and pro-establishment) is a better term than right wing. --Stephan Schulz 10:03, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The Bild-Zeitung is considered right-wing (which is in fact a problematic term) and that is why Hans-Jochn Vogel for example is so outrageous. Moreover I think populist and pro-establishemt is a contradiction. But to resolve the dispute I will change the text. Marriex 10:12, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Populism and pro-establishment are very much compatible if most of the population (for some reason or other) mostly supports the status quo. Populism and interlectualism are usually contradictionary.  I looked at your edit, and while it qualifies right-wing somewhat, it also makes the text more cumbersome. Maybe we can come up with a better solution? --Stephan Schulz 10:32, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

message: Apparently, the FAZ article given as a source in the fourth annotation has been misunderstood. Lafontaine's fellow Linkspartei politician Gregor Gysi coined the phrase in response to the criticism mentioned, not Lafontaine himself. http://de.wikiquote.org/wiki/Gregor_Gysi  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.245.71.38 (talk) 20:49, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

message: Who attacked Lafontaine?  Why?  What happened?  Isn't this something you should include in the article?
Sorry, I'm not an English Native speaker: Should Oskar Lafontaine (and Wolfgang Schäuble) be in the *Assassinated* German politicians category? They both survived the assassination attempt. 77.1.234.48 (talk) 10:55, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

message: has two sons by his second and third wives...
I think that it is meant that there are only two sons in all, but, at least to a native speaker of English, there could be four sons, two by each of these wives.  Clarification would be valuable.  Also, names and dates of birth for these young men would be nice, as I am sure that such are fairly readily available in numerous reliable German-language sources, but my own German skills are too marginal for this to be a viable project for me to undertake. 72.105.6.185 (talk) 23:20, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
