You know, I’d find it a lot funnier if there weren’t people out there who truly believed it...

Here are a few gems from their page on 'liberal'; they define liberalism as
support of leftist ideologies such as...nazism
advocating keynesian economics despite the fact that Keynes was incompetent a fraud and a paedophile (this one's paraphrased a bit)

Also, shock horror... DEMOCRATS ARE BLATANTLY LIBERAL! SHAME!

Never heard of it before.

such funny sites are pretty entertaining

i found this site a few months ago and whenever I feel stupid or depressed I go there and make myself feel better. My very favorite thing that this site has done is the Conservative Bible Project.

Conservatives going through the Bible with a fine tooth comb to remove Liberal Bias from it. :palm:

You should also go and check out their 'unbiased' articles on Democrats and Republicans (and their even funnier take on Liberal and Conservatives).

My Word, it has gotten much worse since the last time I have been there! Blatant, ~completely unbiased~, bullshit in the first three lines of the Democrat article! Where is the cliche scream emote when you need it?

Be careful, every time you read it you need to roll a save against losing sanity points. I believe it's a secret plot by Cthulhu.

Nonsense! Cthulu is obviously a liberal! Do not even dare to insult Conservapedia by suggesting that it is part of Cthulu's many plots! Cthulu = Liberal = Nazi = Communist = Evil = Obama

Good day, sir!

It's really, really hard to believe they're being serious about it.

Other than the obvious bias, there's some other hilarious errors. E.g:

Somalia is "roughly the size of New Jersey in area and population"

Area of New Jersey: 8,721 sq mi
Area of Somalia: 246,200 sq mi
:lol:

... but what about population?

It's out of date but, lulz.

My personal favourite.

I love that picture of Chuck Norris that came outta nowhere.

I'm almost speechless.

What do you expect from people who have to define themselves as "thrustworthy" because no one else would?

Anyway, let's bury those imperialistic ramblings with the power of dialectic materialism:

БСЭ
Большая советская энциклопедия
http://slovari.yandex.ru/~книги/БСЭ/
It's an encyclopedia, it's Soviet, hence it's BIG.

New Jersey: 8,791,894

Somalia (2010 estimate): 9,359,000

So, in fairness, not that far off, and potentially characterisable as 'roughly' similar in population.

Especially because it comes out of nowhere with a caption that has no relevance. Nowhere else in the entire article does it mention the Total Gym Exercise System except for this one little gem:

No. The owner is the son of famous anti-women's rights protester Phyllis Schlaffly. He intends the site to be a resource for homeschooling. There may be a lot of trolls on there, but the site itself is genuine.

yup. way back in the days when usenet was a going concern, andy and his brother (roger?) showed up on talk.origins for awhile. they were crazy ignorant and just plain stupid (obviously). utterly incapable of learning. but they also clearly had mastered the art of bullshittery and fake cleverness, which allows them to be very dangerous among the uneducated and those who retardedly base their ideas on shit said by lesser conservative authority figures.

I have only one thing to say about that site: http://knowyourmeme.com/photos/142390-f ... -sure-if-x

I guess they do that by just removing the parts about Jesus. Because fuck compassion.

I always thought two better names would be Trollololopedia or Ignorancepedia.

'Fox News also is non-hostile to conservative and Christian values, viewpoints, spokesmen, and ideas. Fox News has gained the reputation for reporting the news in an unbiased manner and then allowing the viewer to decide; "We Report, You Decide" is another of their on-air slogans.'
:shock:

Do they watch the same stuff as the rest of the world does?

Yes, but they watch it through a filtering system where they see what they want to see and everything else gets put into the "Liberal Bias Shredder"

Dammit, that's horrible. I guess that's already said many times before, though.

They're actually surprisingly good at weeding out the trolls. The only ones that slip past their radar are the ones that make edits reflecting their actual beliefs.

Do these people even bother to do their research; to gather information from primary sources instead of relying on blatant hearsay and bias secondary sources, cherry-picked to reflect their obvious agenda? Methinks this site would be a different story if they did...

I must admit, some of it is amusing, though it's mostly worthy of :palm:

...and this is a smiley I almost never use.

10 cookies for the one who can count how many times the following is repeated on Conservapedia:

"Barack Obama advocates the use of Keynesian economic concepts despite the fact that the pedophile John Maynard Keynes was incompetent and a fraud."

It's been copypasted throughout the entire site for about 20 times or something and appears on seemingly every page, roflol.

Conservapedia makes my eyes bleed a little every time I read one of their articles. It's downright sad, but some people actually buy that shit.
