==Daniel Brandt controversy==

Brandt wrote in 1991 of [[Political Research Associates]] (PRA), such a group  will "generally inbreed with their adversaries and mutate into a peculiar political animal". [http://www.namebase.org/news02.html] By mid 2005, precisely these type of activities of PRA described by Brandt were pervasive in the politcal sphere in Wikipedia.  SlimVirgin, who is reputed to be former JFK Press Secretary [[Pierre Salinger]]'s chief researcher Linda Mack [http://wikipediareview.com/index.php?showtopic=3910&st=0&p=15170&#entry15170] when the two worked together for ''ABC News'' in the 1980s, was asked by PRA's Senior Researcher [[Chip Berlet]] [http://frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=10352] to sanitize Brandt's criticism of Berlet and PRA from all of Wikipedia.  SlimVirgin, who wrote most of Wikipedia's Attribtution policies, rewrote the Reliable Source policy [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Rangerdude/Workshop#Request_of_finding_for_ex_post_facto_policy_changes] which at the time would have banned Berlet as a source ''for any article'' in Wikipedia because of Berlet's extreme views published over the years in various extremist publications.  Before she was through, she created the Daniel Brandt bio ''citing Berlet as a source'' to accuse Brandt of a false and malicious guilt by association smear -- aligned with Holocaust deniers.  Brandt, having been smeared by the cabal of Berlet & SlimVirgin, with the rewritten policy could no longer be used as a critic of Berlet or PRA, on the basis of him being aligned with extremists.
