Fox News has picked up on WND's hissy fit about Obama's Wikipedia page
Obama's Wikipedia Page Distances President From Wright and Ayers

Critics noted over the weekend that President Obama's page on the free online encyclopedia had been edited to remove any mention of his links to former Weather Underground terrorist William Ayers, and to allow only a brief citation of his connection to the Rev. Jeremiah Wright — though pages for Ayers and Wright are heavily peppered with references to the president, including subsections on both pages that detail their past affiliations with him.

Someone needs to tell these fringe nutters that the election is over, and that they can stop fighting it now. Then again, these are the same types who in their minds are still fighting the Civil War, so... :shrug:

One fun note here regarding the part of the article that mentions some of the edits made to revert their right-wing vandalism;

"Within two minutes that Wikipedia entry was deleted and the user banned from posting on the website for three days, purportedly for adding 'Point of View junk edits,' even though the addition was well-established fact," WorldNetDaily reports.


That was my edit summary of "POV junk edits", as I was getting rid of the WND-inspired gibberish.

I have been (indirectly) quoted by Fox News. :)

2. Just saying to my wife at lunch that the GOP gets more press
about Ayers and Wright STILL than Bush gets press on his handling of the economy.

3. every time someone calls Ayers a 'terrorist' he should sue for libel
because he is a free citizen, and not a 'terrorist'.
