==Hate group?==
An editor recently added:
:The American Enterprise Institute has been categorized and smeared by Wikipedia experts as a "hate group".
No reference is provided.
I'm removing it for these reasons:
*Wikipedia's article, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Enterprise_Institute American Enterprise Institute], does not contain the word "hate" or the phrase "hate group" or anything obviously similar. It says the American Enterprise Institute is "often cited as a center-right counterpart to the center-left Brookings Institution" and "is closely associated with the neoconservative movement."
*The categories Wikipedia places on the article include: "1943 establishments | American Enterprise Institute | Bradley Foundation | Conservative organizations in the United States | Political and economic think tanks | Prominent conservative research groups in the United States | Think tanks based in the United States." None of these seems inappropriate to me, and none of them even vaguely resembles "hate group."
*There is no category "Hate groups." There is an article, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_purported_hate_groups List of purported hate groups], but the American Enterprise Institute does not appear on it.
In short, Wikipedia does not call the American Enterprise Institute a "hate group." [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith]] 17:53, 9 June 2007 (EDT)
