Have you heard of Conservapedia?
I am sorry, I read it in a French article : http://www.ecrans.fr/spip.php?article924 for those who speak French.
To resume it, it explains that some people in the far right wing were angry to see that Wikipedia prefered the evolution theory to the Bible (for example) so they created their own encyclopedia, describing it as more sure because they verify their articles.
It uses the exact same process as Wikipedia, and looks like it a lot (not in the content, of course).
Here is the link : http://www.conservapedia.com/Main_Page
What do you think of that?
For me, it is more a instrument of propaganda than anything left, and it has nothing to do with an encyclopedia. Some articles, or quotes, scare me.

Ugh, I took a look and I think it's sad that people go to such lengths because they feel uncomfortable being on a website where different points of view are expressed.
I tried to find information on the now infamous Katherine Harris and found nothing. If someone did post information on her that was proven, would it get published? I wonder.

I was doing more searches on that site. Go to Conservopedia and type in "Iraq War". You will find paragraph after paragraph of "information" on the existence of weapons of mass destruction. I can't believe that they are still trying to maintain the argument that Saddam had WMDs, or was trying to develop them. Talk about trying to fit the information to support your ideology.
