A group of religious zealots and social rightwingers in America are taking on the might of Wikipedia. Based on their belief that Wikipedia's liberal and secular bias is polluting young American minds, they have set up Conservapedia to put the record straight and promote creationism in "educational, clean and concise" entries.

Despite suspicions that it is a parody, the site is apparently deadly serious. It has become the laughing stock of the internet, as bloggers compete to find the most ludicrous entries...Jimmy Wales, the founder of Wikipedia, is relaxed about it, judging by comments to the New Scientist blog. But the site he created has a pretty dismissive entry on the Eagle Forum, who are apparently responsible for Conservapedia.

1. It's Hilarious

but also frightening when you realize that it's not a parody.

Here's a link to a blog that has a field day with some of the entries.

2. BUMP

Nobody's interested in an RW site that's funny without meaning to be? This is the right's answer to Wikipedia, which, according to the site owners, has a liberal, anti-American bias.

4. "Nobody's interested"? 13 threads about it in the past 2 weeks in GD alone

It's been the running joke of any vaguely left-leaning blogs and forums for that time. We're Conservapedia'd out. It's impossible to tell any more what on it is satire, what was put there by a liberal trying to pull it back to reality, and what is unintentional stupidity on a conservatives part.

3. Conservapedia is a joke.

It's like something Stephen Colbert would write.

It's another example of the RW trying to create their own reality when they don't like the facts.
