They also forgot the one about him being the Anti-Christ. I actually have an active account on Conservapedia. I figure I have one more edit before they ban it, so maybe that last edit should be me adding a section about how he’s the Anti-Christ. ---

You could change all references of him being “anti-soldier” to “Antichrist”- you might be able to get away with that longer. “Obama began his Antichrist campaign…” ---

I never noticed the little box at the bottom of the article before on “Liberal characteristics and traits”, which includes “Bias • Deceit • Denial” 😃 ---

[Quote=Nutbar Central] Obama wore an American flag lapel pin after 9/11, but later stopped wearing it without adequate explanation. [/Quote] Can someone point me to the relevant bit of legislation that requires US political candidates to wear American flag lapel pins, and with which agency they have to file their explanations for not wearing them? Thanks. ---

[QUOTE=Arnold Winkelried] Shouldn’t morality trump legality? I hesitate to accuse you of being a quisling, but your post definitely indicates a frightening dearth of patriotism. [/QUOTE] Are morality and patriotism in any way linked to each other? And does wearing a lapel pin make someone patriotic? More so than someone stepping up to perform relatively thankless civic duties? I dunno, perhaps I’m the odd one out, but I tend to think actions speak much louder than words (and symbols). JOhn. ---

[QUOTE=pravnik] What was it? [/QUOTE] Well I was banned ages ago when we first discovered this site. I can’t quite remember what I was banned for: I think I may have written something in an article that suggested that there was such a thing as sex. :eek: Actually, after posting here yesterday I did manage to re-register and edit Obama’s entry, but my changes were reversed and I was banned and IP blocked within five minutes. > [@Steve MB](#): > > You might have better luck by adding over-the-top rightwingnut crap just to see how much they’ll swallow.

[QUOTE=Princhester] I did think of this afterward, but I’m banned again now. [/QUOTE] Pity.

[QUOTE=Little Nemo] More than one. I saw one of the tabloids a few weeks back claiming Obama had an extramarital affair but I don’t think there’s any mention of this allegation in the Conservapedia article.

[QUOTE=Arnold Winkelried] Then you would be an unsuitable choice if one were looking for a pundit to comment on the current US presidential candidates. The lapel flag is a key requirement. (insert smiley here) [/QUOTE] I must agree with the esteemed poster from Costa Mesa (a rather foreign-sounding place despite his claim that it is somewhere in the USA, if you ask me), if only to deftly avoid his hinted charge of quislingness. Without a flag lapel pin, there simply is no other reliable means to determine whether a candidate is patriotic or not. I strongly suspect that **jkusters** has purchased vehicles from dealers that do not fly giant American flags over their lots, and thus he has very likely aided and abetted terrorists, even if he did so unknowingly. ---

“Obama claimed to have visited 57 states while campaigning for president of the United States, which of course has only 50 states. He could never explain where the false number of 57 came from, but it has been observed that there are 57 Islamic states and Obama was educated at an Islamic grade school” :eek: [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/conservapedias-liberal-bias-free-article-on-barack-obama/452477.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/conservapedias-liberal-bias-free-article-on-barack-obama/452477.md?page=4)
