Basically, Wikipeida is home of Obama cult love.

Where the Owellean ideas of Thought Crime and censorship and thuggery is alive and well and
now getting the attention of the mainstream.

Mainstream getting on board that Wikipedia is bull donkey

Here an example of one of those admins that seek neutral point of view on St. Berry O's wikipedia
web site.
A true jimbo and Berry O cultist

Wait, I thought they were so conservative that there was some question of fascism?

Can't find "ayers" anywhere on the page and "wright" only appears in the footnotes.

Even more strangely, these words aren't in Barack Obama presidential campaign, 2008 or United States presidential election, 2008.

It's only in the Barack Obama presidential primary campaign, 2008 article that you can get some idea what the hubbub is about.

it's not like Wikipedia has ever said anything at all about the way certain segments of society have attempted to portray the pilot, president, and business-person George W. Bush as anything less than articulate and intelligent person, right? unsure.gif

so why should anyone say anything about all this rubbish related to President Barack Obama? yak.gif

It's far more important that we should learn about his work on Project Vote, for six months in 1992.

I've not been made privy of that. Please, pray tell.

At face glance...

If you look at certain theorists in their critique of how power impacts our experiences, and then how voting impacts power, perhaps there is some sort of validity to the associations being made by the marketers.

Of course, I do not know the details, so I could be playing devil's advocate here for all the wrong reasons. shrug.gif

That WND story, like a lot of paranoid idiocy that the conservative Mighty Wurlitzer likes to bellow at the world, is rapidly spreading to right-wing blogs....

ihatethemedia

Newsbusters

Freep

We'll be hearing about this for months. It makes a good talking point, and WP's admins being a bunch of fucked-up paranoiacs, nobody will step up to refute it.

The non-citizen business really is Truther territory. But honestly, no mention of Ayers or Wright either in the main article or in the campaign article?
QUOTE

McCain barred using the Jeremiah Wright controversy in ads against Obama,[248] but the campaign did frequently criticize Obama regarding his purported relationship with Bill Ayers.[249]


Please to explain how this sentence appears in the main article on John McCain, but the only link in the Obama article to [[Jeremiah Wright controversy]] is in a footnote and the only link to [[Bill Ayers presidential election controversy]] is in a collapsed template.

Jimbo may be a Randian but the majority of Wikipedia editors skew liberal, as one might expect of high school and college students.
