Untitled

Is this person related to Jack Wexler?, long term director of Nabors Industries Ltd (AMEX:NBR), previously with Exxon.

As for Robert Wexley he seems to share George Bush & Al Gores love of the US Indonesia Society agenda, examples include voting against majority support for the 2006 Foreign Relations Authorization bill HR2601, after which he made this US promise about Indonesian domestic affairs and the fight to suppress the human rights and independence movements in the Indonesian colonies: http://www.embassyofindonesia.org/beritaUTama/05/Agustus/4%20-%20US%20Support.htm

On the Armenian Genocide

Democrat Socialists of America recently released the list of members who are or were politicians in the US Government Robert Wexler is listed as a member in good standing with the Democratic Socialists of America. the entire list and story can be read here http://www.scribd.com/doc/35733956/DSA-Members-American-Socialist-Voter-Democratic-Socialists-of-America-10-1-09 74.233.186.137 (talk) 02:30, 17 August 2011 (UTC) Martin Fee[reply]

Wexler opposes recognition, and there neither new research nor a POV violation of neutrality on this issue. Please leave the material in. If you desire an edit war, I will gladly oblige.

Thanks, —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.194.63.129 (talk) 19:12, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Colbert "came out" against mainstream media's interpretation of their interview? Rephrase! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.66.31.247 (talk) 04:03, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Young Republicans?

According to this, Wexler was once a member of the young Republicans. Is this true? Has he changed his affiliation? When? 86.56.40.189 (talk) 17:29, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

Having mistakenly moved this page from Robert Wexler to Robert Wexler (politician) I have now made a formal Move Request to put it back. Sorry about that! PamD (talk) 10:03, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Who wrote or edited this?

From the tone, it looks like the Wexler political campaign team edited it and edited again and again. Let us be frank, Wexler is a genocide-denying, Armenophobe, and this is a part of him that needs to be put here -- for better or for worse. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.194.63.129 (talk) 15:19, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Those who removed the Armenian genocide references are invited to put them back on, otherwise, the NPOV warning will be kept on. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.194.63.129 (talk) 10:37, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure what was removed that you think should have remained. I found this edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Robert_Wexler&diff=319801063&oldid=319800620, but it makes only vague, unsourced, guilt-by-association references to his being a member of some groups that "correlate" with Aremenian genocide denial. I didn't remove it (or otherwise edit on the issue), but I support its removal. If you've got something appropriate to a WP BLP, then I woulc recommend you add it.

Why Did He Resign?

Oddly, there is no source for why this congressman, in the prime of his career, with no opposition in his district, no known scandal, would resign. All the articles basically blog articles expressing the same mystification. This would seem to be not a minor point of information in the congressman's career. I don't even find a source where he uses "family matters" as a fig leaf. There's just no mention at all. --Petzl (talk) 16:15, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Removed JStreet = Anti-Israel reference.

Removed this section:

During the 2008 campaign, Wexler agreed to receive J Street PAC’s endorsement and financial support and lost funding from Washington PAC as a result. Morris Amitay, the head of Washington PAC, made clear to candidates seeking support from his PAC that he does not view favorably those who receive funds from JStreet. Amitay said “There’s a striking resemblance between the people they support and the anti-Israel Hall of Fame,” ^[1]

This guilt by association is unseemly. Just because this Amitay thinks "JStreet is anti-Israel" does not merit Wexler being called anti-Israel.--Petzl (talk) 16:35, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
