Conservative launches crusade against Wikipedia

[PageOneQ]

WorldNetDaily founder Joseph Farah has kicked off a mission to slay the "dragon" that is Wikipedia.

Farah's outrage is due to an unknown party repeatedly editing the opening line of his biographical entry on the collaborative online encyclopedia to read: "Joseph Francis Farah is an Evangelical Christian American journalist and noted homosexual of Lebanese and Syrian heritage."

5. "It is a wholesale purveyor of lies and slander: that's *my* job ,says WND founder

"What's more, when Wikipedia does it, it's for free, where I make a profit out of spouting BS on the 'net. That means I'm True American, while it must be a dangerous commie pinko plot."

6. Er, what does this fuckwit expect to DO, actually? Censor them, sut them down?

Making donating to them illegal? Erecting a China-like firewall?

He doesn't have a clue how Wikipedia works. He seems to think of it as a left-wing cabal in a smoky room or something.

What a putz.

10. You need read no farther than "WorldNetDaily founder" for reason to roll your eyes on this one.

That clears it up for me. Wingnut freak, no doubt about it.

11. That no talent right wing hack who ran one of our town's papers into the ground.

And now we're a one paper town and the Bee's even lamer than normal for lack of even half-assed competition.

May his eyes be eaten by maggots for that alone. Asshole.

12. Er, has anyone bothered to tell him that Wiki can put a lock on his page to prevent this?

When someone spray paints your building, you don't boycott the police. :shrug:
