Conservapedia Revisted: Obama Article

[Raziaar]

http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/304-conservapedia-revisited.html

It's just a blog post I know, but it's talking about Conservapedia.

Why do I post this thread? Not because I don't want some of you to tell me to stop posting about it, but rather because through completely unrelated internet searches I came across the conservapedia wiki for Obama.

And my god it's retarded. Little Christian children are going to grow up dumber than dirt. Much more stupid than if they went to a public school.

President-elect Obama could become the first Muslim President, and may be sworn into office at his inauguration on January 20, 2009, using the Koran.

To announce his trip to Berlin in July 2008, Obama used posters which show a marked similarity to posters of Lenin.

Obama is the first person having ties to a known former terrorist to gain control over America's nuclear weapons.

Obama said the Muslim call to prayer is "one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset," and recited "with a first-class Arabic accent" the opening lines: Allah is Supreme! ... I witness that there is no god but Allah ...."

I didn't even scroll through 10% of the article to collect those quotes. My favorite bit is the photo of Obama trying on traditional clothing while visiting his father's native Kenya, a photo obviously included because of the clothing's superficial similarity to Arabic garb.

Who does an article like this serve? Intelligent criticism is much more compelling than nonsense. Off the top of my head, I can think of half a dozen legitimate quarrels that can be made with Obama's stated policies, and I don't have to leave the planet Earth to come up with them. If Conservapedia's purpose is to promote conservatism, which can and is often done intelligently, why derail themselves with this total departure from sanity?

Wow... just wow. Despite hugely dwindling popularity, the site still exists, and it's still filled up with total bullshit.

The actual Obama article on wikipedia is filled with much more of this stuff, and it's a real real shame that some people are actually going to try to get educated on this trash.


And no, before anybody says it, the reason that Conservapedia still exists isn't because of people like me.

You searched the wrong term, silly!

Try "father loving daughter" or "mummy isn't REALLY having sex with the neighbour".

Barack Osama? That chocolate man that you United Statesians love so much?

I was going to suggest that some wiki warriors edit the Obama page to be even more outrageous - maybe something like 'Hussein Obama celebrated his inauguration by gang-raping a five year old white girl with the aid of several of his muslim, gay and terrorist acquaintances' - but to my disappointment the page is locked.

 

[ríomhaire]

Make a Barack Osama page.

That's the same site that presents creationism as a solid theory, take it for what it's worth...

 

[Qonfused]

First time I've ever been to that site...I can never go there again.

Conservapedia is really fantastic example of far-right extremism and hate speech. Science articles are especially funny (Dawkins used to share the same article with Hitler apparently).
On a lighter note, it's better than Encyclopedia Dramatica...

Im not too sure about that. An argument could be made that there is the same amount of untruths on each, but at least ED does it on purpose.

 

[Jintor]

Conservapedia means what it says, so on the 'scary' scale it's much, much worse than ED.
