In case you haven't noticed, Sarah Palin stuck her foot in her mouth yesterday (again).
Result: it seems that today, the Paul Revere article has been the target of an editwar, intended to rewrite history. To make Palin appear to be accurate...... Mentioned on Reddit, on LGF, on Think Progress, and spreading to other political blogs. (Go ahead. Try asking Amadscientist and Tomwsulcer what they hell they are doing. I'm still confused.)

Stinque's coverage of this was especially snappy.
QUOTE I’m truly shocked at the professionalism of the WP editors – I would have set up a “Some people say that Tomwsulcer is a horse fucker†page after the first time around… (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/wink.gif) And they brought up the Conservapedia page about Revere. It's difficult to complain about Wikipedia's coverage of Revere, after seeing crap like this and this. I'd call Conservapedia the "Bizarro Wikipedia", if Wikipedia weren't already run by Bizarros. And now, Slate weighs in. Mr. Sulcer, you really blew it...... This post has been edited by EricBarbour: |

It's difficult to complain about Wikipedia's coverage of Revere, after seeing crap like this and this. I'd call Conservapedia the "Bizarro Wikipedia", if Wikipedia weren't already run by Bizarros. That last one blows my mind: "Part of the purpose of Revere's ride was to warn the British already present in the colonies that colonists would be exercising their 2nd Amendment rights." I guess it says a lot about hardcore Palin fans, though. I just wish the press would start ignoring her, as airtime/print spent on her is an utter waste. Follow some real politicians, even the ones I don't particularly care for. At least they do something. She's a reality star these days, on par with the Jersey Shore dimwits. She does nothing and gets tons of press for it. |
