Talk:Peggy Noonan

message: Whatever leftist wrote that Palin is not speaking to the "non-partisan media" had best know that such will always be corrected. The mainstream liberal media is in fact the Obama media as we all know. Zouave44 (talk)  —Preceding undated comment was added at 23:17, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Um, does living outside of New York or Washington really call for an unusual amount of daring? Home of the brave, indeed. At any rate, Noonan has long had credibility with this Leftist for being intellectually honest and serious, and for displaying a desire for civil and mutually respecful political discourse. It's almost as if she believes that good people can have political disagreements and still both love America and its values. Crazy! CAVincent (talk) 01:57, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

text: I concur with removal. The section might have seemed pertinent to certain people who frequented this article during the 2008 election cycle, but it's hardly a significant or even noteworthy part of Ms. Noonan's career or fame. There's also something to be said for the fact that she's a political commentator; and if you insist on adding a section to every commentator's page each time that person criticizes (or praises, presumably) another public figure, then those articles will balloon beyond usefulness in a matter of months.

replies: text: I pruned significantly, including removing it as its own section. Agreed it is not a major part of Noonan biography, but it could retain some relevance should Palin be serious about a future presidential bid. Unfortunately the article doesn't fully explain that this is significant because Noonan was one of several conservative intellectuals who were critical of Palin and who were subsequently attacked by other conservatives as "elitist" (seemingly including those who want the weasel-worded "many" calling her an "MSNBC conservative" - is there anyone outside Free Republic that use this term to criticize someone for being insufficiently conservative?). If there are reliable sources that could flesh this out it would be helpful. CAVincent (talk) 01:57, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Noonan's Attack on Palin

message: The article states: she also was the one who pushed for Bush to pledge "Read my lips: no new taxes" in his 1988 nomination acceptance speech, the reversal of which contributed to Bush's defeat in the 1992 election. Unless this can be proven with some statistical certainty, I don't think this statement should be so emphatic. Accordingly, I tempered it somewhat. David Hoag 22:55, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Incorrect Link

message: I think there should be a criticism section on, or at least a mention of, the insane levels of criticism Noonan's been getting for her now infamous remarks on torture. They've been widely condemned, they were mocked at length by Jon Stewart, there's even entire articles on respectable news sites on her latest stance:

It's been nearly uniform criticism from a wide array of people.71.131.11.119 (talk) 22:25, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Infamous views on investigating torture 

message: I think we should change her political views to Republican instead of conservative.  She has shown time and again that she is far from conservative principles on several issues.  If anything, she's libertarian.PokeHomsar (talk) 14:50, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Not a conservative... 

message: I love the back and forth of the discussion sections of politically-themed pages here on Wikipedia. No absolute truth exists, yet those of you who call yourselves "leftists/progressives/Democrats" and those of you who call yourselves "conservatives/Republicans" all seem to just nitpick over such trivial things and never go after the real sources of all our societal ills, antagonisms and discrepancies.
Palin versus Noonan is a publicity mill, just like one would have on ET or other such media that thrive on scandal, spectacle and the outrageous. Please, keep it up...maybe, one day, some desirable outcome will surge forth from the mindless opinion you all spew. In the mean time, this just confirms once again that Wikipedia is - at best - a site for topical information, but from which one can never form a serious, respectable or intelligent point-of-view on anything complex or requiring real analysis.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.233.115.23 (talk) 16:34, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

message: when asked about Reagan's debate "bloopers" PN supposedly said, so what, millions saw him say it on TV; 1,000s read the correction the next day in The Times  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.236.121.54 (talk) 22:48, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: can anyone source this story

message: The current version states: "there were rumors that she was engaged in an affair with Jeff Greenfield, who worked for ABC News at the time.[9][10]"  One of the two links to support this claim is dead, the other merely says there were rumors. This strikes me as undocumented gossip bordering on libel. I also note that a similar remark does not appear on the page discussing Jeff Greenfield, and this asymmetrical treatment suggests a dubious double standard. What purpose is served by having undocumented rumors of private affairs reported on wikipedia?  I suggest this line be deleted. I tried that, but it was reverted.  If it isn't deleted, it should also be reported in the same manner on the Greenfield page.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:EA00:103:4803:0:0:0:14 (talk) 07:35, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
