[edit] Out of Place?
The paragraph that begins saying, "Barnes claimed 'Republican-hating media ... trashed," seems out of place. Perhaps it would belong better in a description of the subject's political views or controversies? Coleca 23:21, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] NeoCon
Fred Barnes is a neoconservative, not a conservative - --HowardJ87 13:21, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Controversial?
Would anyone deny "that Muslims all over Europe and all over the world are certainly enemies of Western civilization"? There are Muslims all over Europe and all over the world that have stated as such explicitly. The only controversy I can see in this part of this statement is that "Muslims" could be taken as a block of people rather than a description of a few people, which is a matter of interpretation. Even Media Matters picked up on a different part of the discussion for criticism, so I don't think it really belongs there unless the criticism matches that of Media Matters.

[edit] Criticism from conservatives re Hillary book
I could find no reference to any conservatives other than John Podhoretz criticizing the book and have removed the reference to a "stark contrast" and "much of the criticism from conservatives".
[edit] Considered West Point?
Do we really care that he "considered West Point"? He may have considered every Ivy League school, or every school, for that matter. If he didn't apply and wasn't accepted, why is it relevant?
[edit] Vandalized Photograph
The photograph of Barnes has been photoshopped. It, needless to say, needs to be removed. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.130.136.192 (talk) 02:07, 29 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] "Controversial statements" section
I changed this section to "Political positions" and removed some fluff... "(Neo)conservative" is not synonymous with "controversial". Nualran 03:22, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Removed line from Climate Change section
I removed the line saying that he ended the interview by saying we don't know whether or not global warming is caused by humans and that he prefers warmer weather. The first part was redundant. That fact was already established. And when he said that he prefers warmer weather, he was obviously just making a joke. Everybody recognizes the theoretical damage that global warming could cause. Little side jokes don't belong in wikipedia.Kgj08 (talk) 23:48, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
