[edit] Completely uninformative

I know nothing about this man. For all I know he might be the Grand Dragon; but I have read this article, and I still know absolutely nothing about this man, except malicious innuendo and guilt by association. — Mark (Mkmcconn) ** 18:55, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

The most offensive section I have deleted, which read:

==Connections to White Supremacists==
In 2001, Perkins addressed the Council of Conservative Citizens 
(successor organization to the anti-integration White  Citizens Council.

This was founded by former members of the WCC - does that make it a successor organization? Does the WCC itself sponsor anti-integration? More relevantly, does Perkins' address to the group mean that he is in agreement with it, or doesn't it rather suggest that the group is in some sense in agreement with him: a very different thing. — Mark (Mkmcconn) ** 22:20, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

I restored this section. A quick glance at the Council of Conservative Citizens entry shows that they are most definitely a racist group.--Baltech22 03:41, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] title

"Tony Perkins (evangelical Christian figure)" is a dreadful title. How about Tony Perkins (politician)? Any other suggestions for a shorter identifier? -Willmcw 03:31, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

I agree, "politician" does make much more sense. --Diogenes00 17:19, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
