Freepers plan to attack Howard Dean's campaign info on Wikipedia
Evidently Wikipedia is asking for information about Howard Dean's campaign history --- http://www.theideaforge.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page

Yet look at this..

It's the FREEPERS who are planning to go over there and create his campaign bio!!

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/1546947/posts

Anyone ever contact Wikipedia to alert them of upcoming bogus submissions?

8. Your concern
Edited on Mon Dec-26-05 02:16 AM by gristy
is based on the assumption that the freepers know how to write in complete paragraphs without their hate seeping out by the 2nd sentence, their fear becoming apparent by the 4th, and their stupidity becoming obvious by the 5th.

I'm not very worried...

on edit: expanded the thought.

14. well,t hen there's the whole grammar, spelling and punctuation

Of course, that may be covered by your stupidity category. It's helpful to make the point explicit, though.

13. Thank you so much for
catching what the vermin enemy is up to, larissa! They can't win honestly so they resort to cheating anyway their feeble brains can think of.

And don't tell me Jesus is your favorite philospher, freeper.
