Conservapedia: Obama

As Sullivan puts it: "a fascinating glimpse into the heart of Republican darkness."

Wow. Even given the well-known rottenness of such folks, this is astonishing. Seriously--you've got to read it to believe it. Just click the link and read the introduction. They don't even get Obama's birthdate out before they're spouting lunatic conspiracy theories about his place of birth. The entry explicitly argues that Obama is a Muslim.

These people are dangerously insane.

Wow, man.

I actually got banned from Conservapedia for making a totally kick-ass article about somethingorother - I forget what it was - but a ton of people instantly praised my article and that brought about the wrath of the administrators.

Did it contain facts?

Because they don't seem to like those...

Anyone know how to get bullshit stains off my screen? The writers of that article are apparently not smart enough to hide the obvious fact that what they write is tendentious bullshit.

The odds of Obama being truthful in his claim that he converted to Christianity are less than 100 to 1 against it, as fewer than 1% of Muslims convert to Christianity.

This is the single stupidest sentence I've read today, and that's saying something.

WOW! I didn't see that sentence. That really IS some amazing bullshit.

I stand in awe of their bullshit powers.

Man, I didn't even think that sentence was the worst.

However, I have developed the capacity to actually reassign neurons to more useful things after being unable to avoid the initial assignment to useless things, such as Conservapedia articles immediately upon their viewing.

So, I'd regale you with the truly worst, since you guys must've missed it, but I'd rather not test my newfound ability any more than I have to.

Mystic, no doubt you could find worse in five minutes reading, probably even lower in the same entry. But you're absolutely right that it's not worth it.

You know, Liberal, while these claims that reading that site produces sufficient harm to make it reasonable to visit the site on virtually no occasion have been said at least partially in jest, I'm actually pretty convinced we're right.
