(Fake)NewsMax brags about DU's power and control on Wikipedia
Regarding Wikipedia

"Wikipedia members from Democratic Underground and MoveOn.org have the power, the numbers and the seniority. They can win any argument about content, either through mob tactics or a well-placed block by a friendly administrator. The rules and policies form an online minefield, and they derive immense satisfaction from baiting newbies into that minefield.

Editors are recruited from Democratic Underground. The author of the recruiting drive, Ben Burch, is the Webmaster of a site whose motto is "Fighting the Rise of the New Fascism."

(shout out to Ben from Newsmax! Too Cool!)

Lies! The Cons are much better organized on Wiki with their Cabal of admins who ban lefties like me who try to ferret out the right-wing Neocon disinfo and lies that permeate all of Wiki.

I wish someone would write an article on Tyler Froatz (the Freeper terrorist) like I did on the other Freeper Terrorist 'UnaFreeper' Chad Castagana last year. I would but I'm banned!

1. You kind of have to feel a little sorry for right wing zealots
because history is generally written by the literate. So are encyclopedias.

Literate is something they are not.

2. Whenever the rabid right wrongly complains the left is doing something
You can bet the rabid right is doing it, tenfold.

Which means the rabid right is mobbing Wiki right now.

5. I know - but I am sure they will spin it as part of the plot to make it
SEEM like he is not tied to us - but really a covert operation so we can control Wikipedia.

Bwaa - haaa - haa - haa
