I know, I know, I really should stop going to Conservapedia, but it's got that train wreck thing going. Every time I go back, I think I'm not going to find something worse than the things I've already turned up. And every time I'm wrong. But I might just be right tonight.
Today, I found the "Liberal Denial" page. It's not one that you're going to want to read with your mouth full.
The page starts out by defining liberal denial:
Liberal denial is the tendency of liberals to conceal, deny or censor the truth for ideological reasons. A list of the top dozen common instances of liberal denial are the following:
The page then goes on to list 13 items.
Included in that list are a few massively hysterical items. In no particular order:
liberals deny how they deify government officials, similar to how communists deified Stalin and Lenin and still deify Castro
In denial that Hitler and the Nazi party were in fact Liberals (anti-Semitism is a well-documented characteristic of Liberal Christianity as is the PETA-like Green wing of the Third Reich
the strident promoters of evolution generally have weaker credentials than advocates of intelligent design
The most spectacular of the baker's dozen has to be:
liberals deny they are liberal, and that most of the media are liberal
But - as the television dude says - wait! There's more!
After listing the top twelve thirteen, the article continues:
More generally, liberals also deny:
This is followed by a list of 61 very specific things that liberals are alleged to deny. This list includes items that are just completely insane:
state run health care has lead to Islamic terrorism in Britain, and would do so in the US
that a vote for (yea) or a vote against (nea) is an absolute position
that President Bush didn't cause Hurricane Katrina
that socially dangerous people exhibit a well-documented pattern of reading habits
If you were wondering if this one is a spoof or hoax, it's not. Andy Schlafly, founder of Conservapedia, wrote the first version of the article, and is still very active in editing it.

"well-documented characteristic of Liberal Christianity as is the PETA-like Green wing of the Third Reich"
Yea, Hitler was famous for picketing industrial plants that were polluting. That and the well documented fact that the only reason Germany didn't get the bomb first was because Hitler was anti-nuclear, in fact the founder of the moment.
Try to find an earlier anti-nuke protester If you don't believe it.
Uh, I can't deny that. I'm pretty sure that if that guy could cause hurricanes both of the following would be true:
There would be a bunch of off-shore drilling platforms all over the former Middle East.
GWB would be "Emperator of 'Murika", Cheney would be "Grand Vizier"
With Arsefly and his zombie army of conservatardomorons, you start to wonder if their internal contradictions of their bizzare world view will lead to them one day dropping to the floor, legs and arms waving in the air, droning "does not compute! does not compute! too many internal contradictions! remaining brain functions closing down! bzzzzzz..."
I've got a better one for Conservapaedia than islamic terrorism. I was born the year before the NHS was introduced in the UK and I'm an atheist. It's therefore obvious that state run medical care causes atheism.
...that a vote for (yea) or a vote against (nea) is an absolute position
nea?
As in The Knights Who Say "Nea!"?

We deny that? No, we rail against the fact that bigots murder gay people and that a bigoted society drives gay teens to suicide. Teens and adults.
I have no idea whether this is true or not. But it's interesting, given that more conservative states consume more porn than do less conservative states.
Not that they aren't batshit insane, but part of the problem is that there is no consistent yardstick for exactly what is and what is not a "liberal" position. What these guys call liberal is, to me, somewhat reactionary. What I call moderate, they call Socialist. But there's no consistent standard to say who's right.
But I wonder how an atheist can be said to deify government officials.
They left out that when liberals deny what conservapedians assert, the conservapedians simply assert it again.
Rats! They're on to us! Now we'll never get that idol of St. Ronald installed at Mt. Rushmore.
Sorry guys, but the game is up.
Atheist Conspiracy Central is sending out a secret memo (you'll get it with next month's abortion vouchers) to say that nothing as stupid as that could have evolved by natural means.
Creationism is Victroryus victoryfull wins.
My personal fave is "god has a place in government", preferably as Sec'y of Education.
But hey, what do I know...I mushified my brain listening to EL&P and Pink Floyd in college.
ELP???? You don't need a brain for them. Just a hyperactive Pretentious gland!

Here it is February 2010, and they're still batshit insane. Conservapedia's become Obama-liberal-democrat hate central! In Assflies mind, EVERYTHING is either liberal or conservative; thankfully I'll never meet this puke, because if I did I'd probably do something REALLY stupid!
