They rejoined the Republican Party. Ever heard of the Nixon's Southern Strategy back in the 60's.

All the Racist Bigoted Inbred SLUTS, left the Democratic party back in 1964 to join the Republican bigots and racists after LBJ passed The Civil Rights Act back in 64.

I find it strange to look at a thread about the Liberal darling Obama, and I leave the thread really knowing no more about him than I did before. Jeez

That has been shown time and time again.

Also liberals also liberally quote it and use it and liberals are notorious for going to biased news sources.

Anyway, what difference does it make to you if I think that wikipedia is a biased liberal source.

Do you think otherwise or something equally nonsensical?
First it was an honest curiosity. Which you completely ruined by making such dip shit presumptuous statement put in bold.
I don't appreciate your presumption that my opinion is nonsensical before I've had an opportunity to have a response.
By coming at me with that rather trite arrogant presumptuousness you have completely invalidated your opinion. You have nothing in that head of yours but a kind of think tank echo chamber that seems to base your intelligence on grade school clique positioning. That's to be expected from a trust fund baby like yourself. You've shown that elequently over & over.

First you indicate a lack of understanding of the concept of how Wikipedia works.
Maybe we can follow your drippingly biased shallow opinions by deconstructing how & why Wikipedia works. It works on the principle of open ideas & open source, a trust in the shared wisdom of people.
If that is considered a liberal mindset then I'm all for it. I choose to believe in the best of ideas & people & to be open to the shared collective wisdom of humanity.

Let's break down the opposite of that highly pre-biased opinion with dripping contempt for any idea that doesn't fit an insular clique & an attitude of animosity towards humanity.

It's not valid unless a major multi national corporation says so.
It's not valid because people who are not of the Economically elite, regular Joe is a complete idiot.
& finally the most hilarious posit of this special bus opinion that somehow there's a Cabal of Liberals making Wikipedia. They obviously exist on the island of Lesbia, right?

In principle whether one is Liberal or Conservative a body of shared information that makes a concerted effort to get as neutral as possible about knowledge should be considered a good thing for debate.

Your statement that presupposes a bias really is nothing more or nothing less than a projection of your blindingly bias about people that puts them in a simple childish camp of green or red. Every time I read you & others CONSTANTLY go liberal this Liberal that I can't help but see that you have no true American individuality & can only seem to think in cattle like group think.

I like free thinking individuals regardless of ideology or party. What I seem to see here on AWE over & over is mind numbing group think of a generally EXTREMELY sheltered group of people.

Your pre-argued opinion without even taking the time to ask me honestly what my ideas of Wikipedia are as I honestly asked you says encyclopedias worth of information about your true lack of human understanding or knowledge.

You can go edit Wikipedia anytime you want. WTF are you talking about? Liberal bias? This is THE open and unbiased information source out there today, this is going to revolutionized the way we think and compile information. Any piece of information can be edited and updated by anyone and is made accurate as per the market-place of ideas. If a fact is in dispute then that is posted as such.

I have edited a couple of sports things on there (non-contraversial) and then see it evolved to a more accurate and better form later. It is quite amazing.

I think you are threatened by this quite honestly. If you think there are massive inaccuarcies on Wiki then you (by all means) can have at it and go edit to your heart's desire. You must be pretty unsure of information you BELIEVE to be true.

wikipedia's creators are so worried about the kind of information that is being put forth as "fact" that they are redesigning and rethinking all of it.

It is not my opinion but the creators/owners that the information is oft times inaccurate.

I have to admit that I went and looked at a couple of areas where I knew that they had been biased in the past {specifically information about RW Reagan and Michael Savage} and found that the errors had been corrected.

I don't really have the time to now go and try to ferret out the biases if there are any still there.

don't get me wrong I like the idea of wikipedia very much.

Wikipedia liberal? Not that I've ever noticed. I'm as right wing as they come (in a hawkish libertarian way), and I read it all the time. Sometimes an article isn't as fair as I'd like, but that's the breaks when dealing with an open source encyclopedia. Overall, I think it's one of the best and most versatile info sources on the net.

Wikipedia a couple of months back noted the myriad problems that they were facing on their site.

The fact is that the problems were exposed by right wing talk show hosts on am radio.

Then what are you complaining about? You have just done an almost complete mea culpa? You might want to check some things against the Britannica...Wiki is surprisingly accurate. I have been blown away by it...in my profession it is important to know how to do research and I was skeptical of Wiki at first (this has little to do with Lib or Cons) but have been pleaseantly blown away by the 'collective' it relys on and who the founders made this happen. Hell, I just helped write a new history text that is less accurate than Wiki, and I am just talking about type-Os. It is a going to take much longer to edit that text than what Wiki does...Wiki does blow me away.
