Not sure if the book or author has a Youtube channel but a link to all the related video clips would be helpful in the EL section. -- Banjeboi 11:05, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Um, see the very first link in the EL section. Cirt (talk) 16:43, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
Lol! I've clarified it a bit but yes that's what I was looking for, cheers! -- Banjeboi 23:11, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
I kept the formatting for the link, and added a bit of info. Cirt (talk) 23:16, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Racism

The Widdicombe quote is a teaser that leaves the reader wondering what could be the "the most offensive response imaginable". I found the Widdicombe article still available online, so why is it that the URL is not present in the cited reference? The reader ought to be told in the body of the article that the offensive response was a racist one, that it was about Obama sweeping the Oval Office instead of running for it.

Racism in Scientology is a theme not yet explored in the article, so I can understand why the topic is not brought up via Widdicombe in the Response section. However, leaving it as a teaser is unsatisfying. Dawn Olsen considers racism and bigotry to be an important theme in Halperin's book, so I think it is worthy of an explanatory paragraph in the article. Widdicombe's reaction could be moved there, with greater detail. Binksternet (talk) 22:58, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

  Done. -- Cirt (talk) 23:04, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
