So... should we mention the anti-Semitic remarks he made in the 70's, partly because some conservatives use it as fuel against civil rights leaders in general? ClothCoat (talk) 06:24, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, I've added the same for Al Sharpton. I do not want to further endure the headache of a Neo-Nazi apologist and an internment supporter trying weekly to gain the moral ground against black leaders who've actually done relevant things (yet still hide dumb prejudices).

I think this article needs more than an off-hand half sentence about his actually problematic positions to fit in the Extreme moonbattery catagory. We need actual description of his crazy positions. --TiaC (talk) 06:16, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

Perhaps we could mention what he said specifically to get him labeled an anti-semite. I think he had more than one incident of it. ClothCoat (talk) 01:18, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

Antisemitism and moonbattery

Being an anti-semite is bad, but that doesn't necessarily equate to any sort of ideological extremism. I'd like to contest that this category be removed again. Extreme and crazy leftism is it's own sort of problem, and the category probably shouldn't be diluted by every democrat who's done something awful. Ikanreed (talk) 22:00, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

RW kind of has a bad habit of sticking categories on articles without presenting why the person is deserving of that categorization. --Inquisitor (talk) 22:58, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

Anti-semitism doesn't fall in the moonbat category, period, much less the "extreme" part. And if he does qualify as a moonbat, the article does an inadequate job at explaining why. So, the category should be removed to avoid confusing readers. LEFTYGREENMARIO 23:06, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
