It's Election Day and Conservapedia has turned up the dial on the hilarity to 11
The summary from their Obama entry contains nuttiness like the following:

"Barack Hussein Obama II (born in Honolulu, August 4, 1961) is the 2008 nominee of the Democratic Party for president, although he is socialist."

and did you know Obama, when not busy kidnapping the Lindbergh Baby, is responsible for the tragedy in Jennifer Hudson's life:

"Obama voted against strengthening law enforcement. The suspect in the recent gang-like murder of Jennifer Hudson's the 7-year-old nephew in Chicago is a convicted felon who had violated his parole conditions.<7> Yet "Obama was one of only three Illinois senators to vote against a proposal making it a criminal offense for convicts on probation or on bail to have contact with a street gang."<8> Chicago -- Obama's hometown -- has "75,000 gang members - that's almost six gang members to one police officer."<43>"

And if you didn't get a big enough scare on Halloween:
"If elected, Obama would become the first person having ties to a known terrorist to gain control over America's atom bombs"

And my personal fav - the fact that Obama is actually evil supervillian Dr. Mesero!!!!!:
"Doctors from the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons have observed that Obama uses techniques of mind control in his speeches and campaign symbols. For example, one speech declared, "a light will shine down from somewhere, it will light upon you, you will experience an epiphany, and you will say to yourself, 'I have to vote for Barack.'"<16> The doctors observe that "Obama's logo is noteworthy. It is always there, a small one in the middle of the podium, providing a point of visual fixation ... resembles a crystal ball, a favorite of hypnotists."<16>"

And this all just from the opening summary.

The wingnuts are in full-blown panic and are throwing out any sense of dignity and sanity they had left.

Their precious conservative "movement" will be cast to the dustbin of history.

Tomorrow they'll no longer be scary and will be nothing more than a joke.

We shall feast on their tears and, oh, how glorious it will be!

5. Are 'pedias supposed to read like comic books?

>"If elected, Obama would become the first person having ties to a known terrorist to gain control over America's atom bombs"

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I gather Conservapedia does NOT implement the same kind of neutrality management as Wikipedia?

7. Conservapedia was started as a way for homeschooled snowflakes to be safe from Wikip*dia.
It was started by Phyllis Schlafly's kid, Andy.

They're probably the best of the comedy wikis without even trying.
