Wikipedia Scrubs Ayers and Wright From Obama Biography
newsbusters.org ^ | March 8, 2009 | Noel Sheppard

Wikipedia users have scrubbed all references to homegrown terrorist William Ayers and the controversial Rev. Jeremiah Wright from Barack Obama's entry at the online encyclopedia.

Apparently, any information posted about Ayers or Wright in the text of the Obama biography is not only immediately taken down, but the offending user is banned for three days.

Such was revealed by World Net Daily moments ago:

The entire Wikipedia entry on Obama seems to be heavily promotional toward the U.S. president. It contains nearly no criticism or controversy, including appropriate mention of important issues where relevant.

For example, the current paragraph on Obama's religion contains no mention of Wright, even though Obama's association with the controversial pastor was one of the most talked about issues during the presidential campaign.

That paragraph states: "Obama explained how, through working with black churches as a community organizer while in his twenties, he came to understand 'the power of the African-American religious tradition to spur social change.' He was baptized at the Trinity United Church of Christ in 1988 and was an active member there for two decades."

Ayers is also not mentioned, even where relevant.

Actual Wikipedia on Barack Obama: “President for Life Obama is god-like. He likes puppies and baby chicks. Americans are blessed with this magnificent super being.”

The Trotski-ites have airbrushed all the bad things away. My guess is that the George Bush page is nowhere near as forgiving.

Revisionist history brought to you by liberals, as usual. They’ll teach the same version of crap in public schools.

Obama WORKED for Ayers. For years. Wikipedia just jumped the shark because of it’s political BS here.

Zer0 has initiated a 1984 style Ministry of Truth. Etched on its entry must be the words, "War is Peace," "Freedom is Slavery," "Ignorance is Strength."

I knew Obama was a Marxist, now it looks like he's a Stalinist as well.

Think about it. Who would actually use wikapedia to look up Barack Obama? Like there isn't enough information out there already.

How long before we see murals such as this plastered over the country for "the messiah?"

Actually, a very, very stupid Stalinist ~ as are his closest backers and staff people.

They imagine that by deleting the madbomber and religious bigot stuff from the Obama site they are eliminating the stories.

What it means, though, is that when folks look up "Obama Wright", they'll get the WRIGHT stories raw and unpurified by the ministrations of the propaganda ministry at Wiki.

Stalin was never that stupid ~ there was always some sort of Commie literature somewhere that would put the Great Leader in a good light. Now, that won't happen.
