Talk:Rat fucking

This article is not meant to attack Richard Nixon. I was reading an article about Muskie (on Wikipedia) and I thought it was needed. Read Woodward and Bernstein's book and they talk about it a lot -- it was very important to what CREP did. Google it and you'll find references to it too. This technique was used against other people too -- case in point, Kennedy and Chappaquiddick. Whoever flagged this should note it's importance to American politics. A lot of people believe that what happened to other politicians -- Durbin and the comments on torture is an example -- is a continuation of slightly more legal rat fucking.

The Speedy Delete tag was not applicable to this article. It was not an attack article - the point of this article was to define a term that has been used in print (All The President's Men). Whether it is of sufficient importance to justify an encyclopedia article is open to question. (I'm skeptical, myself.) However, in that case it could be posted on AFD instead of speedied.

Duplicate
An article on this topic Ratfucking is already on the wiki and is currently on afd as well. The other article seems more NPOV. In any case, you should probably await the outcome as the two will have to be merged I assume. --JJay 04:07, 24 October 2005 (UTC)


 * The other article survived the somewhat spurious VfD and is continuing its merry way. That article does refer to both the sabotage and dirty tricks articles, so maybe make this one a redirect to Ratfucking.  --BenM 11:38, 8 November 2005 (UTC)


 * I agree with the redirect, given that the correct spelling is ratfucking based on Woodward and Bernstein's book. Will do the redirect later today, if no one beats me to it. --JJay 15:24, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
