Re: What you get on Wikipedia
 

I've said my piece previously that Wikipedia is untrustworthy on any subject that has the least little bit of potential for spin. As an example, I've done A/B comparisons of radio hosts and if you are on the right you will be smeared to the maximum. If you're on the left it looks reasonably even handed.

Re: What you get on Wikipedia
 

Anything that spreads knowledge is a threat to the neocon's vision of an uninformed, uneducated, easily indoctrinated population.

Why don't you all set up your own right wing version of wikipedia?

It would never work because conservatives are not intellectually curious.

Knowledge and information are power. Since your right-wing neofascist ilk does not control it, you must attempt to destroy it.

Hmmm, let's see:

Sean Hannity

Al Franken

Looks like someone has an awfully thin skin about his heroes getting even the slightest criticism.

Re: What you get on Wikipedia
 

The new O"really doctrine states that if you take someone's quote and reprint it in context, you are an extreme left wing smear website.

From wikipedia's Hannity profile:
Hannity appeared to endorse this view by adding "Anyone listening to this show that believes homosexuality is a normal lifestyle has been brainwashed. It's very dangerous if we start accepting lower and lower forms of behavior as the normal."

Then the ACLU stands up for Hannity:
The station reversed its decision to remove Hannity, thanks in part to a campaign conducted by the Santa Barbara Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union.

Those ACLU commie bastards.

"Looks like someone has an awfully thin skin about his heroes getting even the slightest criticism. "

But you've proven my point with you choices. Franken has not a single significant reference to anything negative. I found the same thing when I checked Rhodes vs Ingraham.

Re: What you get on Wikipedia
 

Semi-hijack, but the ACLU has also defended Limbaugh, Ollie North, and individual religious expression rights of hundreds, if not thousands of people and organizations. OBVIOUSLY a far-left and dangerous outfit.

What\'s the rumpus ?

Wikipedia is a constant work-in-progress. Vandalism occurs routinely. Especially in "popular" entries, eg Hitler, Lincoln, Bush. There are gnomes and elves in the wiki forrest that take care of such crap. Don't get excited.

Perhaps that has to do with the fact that they were never kicked off of a radio show for calling homosexuals an abomination.
