23. Repeating my bilious comment from the other thread. Grow up, DU.

There are serious disputes on Wikipedia. Right-wingers have kept mention of "falafel" out of Bill O'Reilly's biography, have eviscerated most of the information about the problems with the 2004 election (in Ohio and elsewhere), and.... I could go on for pages.

These are battles we could win if enough progressives were involved in editing Wikipedia. Instead, people are wasting their time vandalizing Wilson's page and then cackling about the vandalism. This is just juvenile. The page has been semi-protected now, so this is unlikely to recur, but if I had seen it in its vandalized state, I would've removed the "douchebag" comment.
