[edit] Left-leaning or "far-left"

Left-leaning doesn't necessarily mean centre-left. But how far to the left Werbe is depends on your POV. So, instead, we'll just opt for his self-described position [1] of "left-leaning" rather than editorializing. Cool? Jackk 05:20, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

That is not the web site of a sane "left-leaning" individual. That is the web site of a communist maniac. -- 212.112.242.89 05:29, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Really? I could say anyone who thinks Peter Werbe is a communist maniac must be a neoconservative fascist. It's all relative, or don't you get that?

[edit] Edit summaries

If you're going to revert the page back to my previous edits, please don't use racist language in the edit summary. --154.5.70.167 21:23, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

I have previously edited under the IP addresses 154.5.70.167, 84.44.234.219, 69.122.156.56 and 212.112.242.89 using TOR. Since TOR is mostly blocked, I have created an account instead. -- John Alder 03:31, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article Content

All information in my current revision is accurate and readily verifiable. If the content and political outlook of an openly political talk host isn't relevant, then I don't know what is. -- John Alder 10:54, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

I removed several very long transcripts by User:John Alder due to copyright and BLP concerns. Given that the transcripts were provided to try and ascribe a certain POV to Peter Werbe, they were potentially unsourced (as it's OR) negative material Nil Einne 17:17, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Those excerpts, transcribed by me directly from recordings of his show available at http://whiterosesociety.org/Werbe.html, should fall under the Fair use provisions of copyright law. -- John Alder 03:30, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] A note from Peter?

I stumbled upon this biographical article, and found that evidently, the subject of the article has been editing it. This is a message purporting to be from Peter Werbe:

A note from Peter: A right-wing creep continues to vandalize this site and make it conform to his twisted vision of what constitutes my politics. In typical authoritarian fashion, he demands that the world be seen according to his views. What's disturbing about his changes is that they are so inaccurate, about me, my guests, my views, and even history. I challenge him to leave this paragraph intact so that viewers will realize the page has been altered, and ask that people go to my web site and listen to my show to get an accurate picture of who I am and what I believe. Thank you.

Now, I'm not that familiar with Wikipedia's policy on biographical articles, but I think the subjects of biographical articles are supposed to leave the writing to others. I have reverted the article to a more encyclopedic previous version, but have edited out the more controversial and inflammatory parts. -- A Wikipedia Watcher 217.11.58.179 14:59, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

This guy is a joke. All my edits are truthful and backed up by direct and in-context quotes straight from the horse's mouth. I am particularly amused by his throwing around the term "authoritarian", not only because his ideology requires far worse than mere authoritarianism to realize its vision for the world, but also since he has in the past defended authority figures against the powerless. -- John Alder 03:34, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
