As is evidently typical with modern conservative political figures, yet another Wikipedia BLP is being massaged to make the Candidate sound like a hero.
And other articles are being modified, to fit the stupid crap coming out of the Candidate's mouth.

This week: Michele Bachmann's teabagger fans are modifying history.
As the Dump Bachmann blog has already noted, her BLP has been a major target of "reality modification" for years.

These were caught quickly, because they were in the news.
But how many others aren't being caught at all?

(And look at the article about her 2012 presidential campaign.
Pwned by conservative editor NYyankees51 (T-C-L-K-R-D) .)

Of course it's just as likely that the people trying to make J. Quincy a "founding father" are opposed to Mme. Bachmann's candidacy as they are to be for her election. History has demonstrated time and time again that a surefire way to get some extra press attention is to edit some Wikipedia article to relate in some way to a public figure or something said or done by a public figure. What better way to keep her gaff alive?
