A Boss is a Boss
editDeleting the word from the article weakens it the same way it would weaken an article about Boss Tweed. David in DC 18:27, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
Pure BS...there was no machine here in Washington. A calumny repeated does not make it true.
- Please sign your contributions. It is your opinion that is unsupported here. If you have a source to cite that indicates that DC had no machine, by all means, add it to the main article. Add an entry called "Controversy over title "boss"" or "Controversy over Alegations of machine politics".
- But everything I've read on the topic suggests the title "Boss" and the charge that he ran a political machine is not controverted. David in DC 19:38, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
- D.C. journalist Sam Smith's quotation in the main article here is darn near dispositive, from my point of view. His research skills, and the depth of his knowledge of and research about the District of Columbia, are unparalelled. Where is your countervailing evidence, unnamed drive-by editor? (Kathy Smith, Sam's wife and former head of the D.C. Historical Society is no slouch either.) David in DC 19:46, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

- I've reverted and requested protection for this page, again. You gotta talk about it here first, not just delete sourced stuff you don't like. David in DC 16:19, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
