They actually retconned Wikipedia until somebody caught them. The Conservapedia entry has already been edited.
There's really not much else you can say about these people other than they literally don't know any better.

I saw that. The attempted wiki edit sourced Palin's claim to . . . statements made by a major American politician. It then cited the fact that a Boston TV station aired the nonsense as evidence of the veracity of Palin's claim.
To me, that was actually funnier than the edit itself. But I'm a geek like that.

The Wikipedia thing is still ongoing

It's what the Echo Chamber does every day. They're just not used to having to abide by, I'd say peer review, but let's put the bar at basic respect for fact.
The great thing about the dittoheads is this time next week every one of them will have always known that Paul Revere was a British agent. That's the way their Ministry of Truth works. In its own way, it's quite beautiful, and utterly self-sustaining.
In other news, the New Deal prolonged the Great Depression and the 2008 recession was caused by the Community Reinvestment Act.

Yeah, that's not going to end well for Palin. I wouldn't be surprised to see this lead to a new paragraph devoted to the Palin gaffe.

At this point, I hope conservatives are welcoming the piling on. Palin's idiotic paparazzi tours are nothing but a worthless ego-feed for a nonexistent political campaign, and the sooner that imaginary career gets put in the grave, the better for all concerned. The question is, what will it finally take to get her to go away and shut up?

Re: 2012 Elections Part I: All Politics is Yokel
This doesn't really go here but it's a great story on an institution that makes the US Congress look ethical, honest and upstanding -- I refer of course to the DC City Council.
This is about the sixth guy this year who is going to go down because he stole public funds to pay for his personal wheels. The Haters should love it, too, because all the crooks involved are Dems.
Thomas gets credit for the biggest cajones for literally driving to the courthouse in a vehicle bought with money embezzled from a fund for underprivileged kids' sports. Keepin' it classy!
BTW, this raises the odds of a Republican takeover of the city council in the next election to "a snowball's chance in hell."

Well, with the car it seemed like a natural equivalent for Terrelle Pryor's eight cars, including driving (with a suspended license) a $25,000 car the day allegations came down.

I think this one tops it.
"Lady Thatcher will not be seeing Sarah Palin. That would be belittling for Margaret. Sarah Palin is nuts."

Not sure. But this basically means that he wants to eliminate Medicare and Social Security. I can buy a health plan privately and I can certainly get my own retirement plan and/or insurance of whatever sort.
You could also argue that the FBI isn't needed. And I'm sure there's a thousand other things we could come up with. The funny thing is in the same speech he said he was going to publish his own plan for Medicare? Why? If it's private it should be cut runs counter to that.
Hypocrisy for the win I guess.

What exactly is the private equivalent of Amtrak? The US Post Office can be outsourced to FedEx or UPS, the GPO to Kinko's...but who provides train service the way Amtrak does? Is there a private enterprise I'm unaware of that can carry passengers by rail from New York to DC? Boston to Chicago? Seattle to LA?

It's called a car. The Righties HATE ****ING TRAINS. HATE THEM. You hear it all the time on the news/opinion shows. Hell, I heard it this morning on Morning Joe. They cannot stand them ****ing trains.
