*I'm not going to claim I'm the world's greatest expert on wiki coding, but the "Super Bowl" section of the article is chock full of mangled POV references....added notes that have to with 30 year old issues not related to the controversy itself and notes like "Hoekstra voted for trillions in deficit spending"....meaning, he voted in favor of passing a budget. These things are not directly related to what happened. Basically, the controversy adds up to this: A bunch of people who don't like Hoekstra anyway, either were offended, or pretended to be offended by something he showed on TV. Other than that, there isn't much to it.[[Special:Contributions/64.222.94.115|64.222.94.115]] ([[User talk:64.222.94.115|talk]]) 04:08, 8 February 2012 (UTC) |

WMDs NY Times
On November 3, 2006, The New York Times reported that a website created at the request of Hoekstra and senator Pat Roberts was found to contain detailed information which could help nuclear states produce nuclear weapons. The website was shut down on November 2 following questioning by the Times and protests by International Atomic Energy Agency officials. Jamal Ware, a spokesman for Hoekstra, said complaints about the site "didn’t sound like a big deal .... We were a little surprised when they pulled the plug" ([7]).
This section appears not to make sense. It says, 'On Nov 3rd the NY times Reported that a website was up' then it says, 'The Website was shut down Nov 2nd.'
Please Correct. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.93.119.157 (talk) 16:04, 17 December 2006 (UTC).
Peter Hoekstra (footballer)
It seems this guy would be more known as "Pete Hoekstra" whereas the footballer is definitely "Peter", therefore should Peter Hoekstra really link to this guy? 86.163.117.242 (talk) 23:09, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
Possible Twitter account?
I can't confirm but believe this is his twitter account: http://twitter.com/petehoekstra . Needs to be verified. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.174.2.159 (talk) 20:09, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
Superbowl ad controversy
I understand that it doesn't necessarily need a subsection of its own, but if all you are going to do is edit it into a garbled sentence which is nonsensical and confusing, then just leave it alone for god's sake. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.157.240.154 (talk) 18:04, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
