  • [*] - Tinfoil Hat Failure.
  • Delete. - TB 19:30, 9 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, let's have lengthy articles about every tasteless joke on the Interweb! No, wait, let's not. Delete. —No-One Jones 19:33, 9 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Looks like the work of our banned buddy User:Enforcer. RickK 19:34, 9 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. -- Cyrius|&#9998 22:16, May 9, 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep - err...ah yes, the old "Pockets of resistance conspiracy theory" --- only one person could possibly be responsible for anything that reflects poorly on us and and friends, and it is not about our failures - it is about the creeps who dare expose our failures - and that person wears a tinfoil hat. Keep, and let Wikimedia's board of directors remove the link from their site, apologizing for their inadvertant affiliation with abusive behavior that puts American Troops at Risk.

  • Delete. Possibly another nasty, see the talk page. Article contains a mixture of POV, falsehood, nonsense and a few things I'm not sure about but nothing I recognise as useful, interesting or encyclopedic. Minimise time wasted is my advice. Andrewa 00:51, 10 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. This is just a bunch of bitter, slanted, utterly false BS. SPEEDY delete, if you would. - Lucky 6.9 04:14, 10 May 2004 (UTC
Lucky6.9 seems quite articulate in the genre of insults, but is unable to substantiate the harangue with evidence of any factual error in the article. The phrase Raping a clown is common recent chatter on blogs, getting 490 hits, often directed at the Tee-Shirt advert featured in the Tim Blair commentary. Blair's comment - sponsored by Spirit of America, is the 1st Google hit. AndyG 18:00, 10 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This is just a bunch of bitter, slanted, possibly factually accurate BS. -Litefantastic 20:05, 10 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
Another sock puppet. RickK 00:58, 11 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
