someone has tried to edit Wikipedia to make John Quincy Adams a founding father

[pokerfan]

Where have we seen this before? Oh yeah, Sarah Palin and Paul Revere.

The updated version:

‘John Quincy Adams”’ ({{IPAc-en|John_Quincy_Adams_pron.ogg|ˈ|k|w|ɪ|n|z|i}}; July 11, 1767{{ndash}} February 23, 1848), a founding father, was the <[List of Presidents of the United States|sixth>] <[President of the United States>] (1825–1829).

(John Quincy Adams was nine years old when the Declaration was written and is not generally regarded as a founder.)

2. Maybe the Republicans will try again to say that this is because we don't understand

the full significance of this brilliant 9 year old. The wisdom of the older founding fathers in including this member of the younger generation was incredible. Who would be more likely to be able to pass through British lines than a well dressed, well groomed 9 year old? Would they even watch their tongue if he was sitting near by?

What is with the ageism of Democrats?

:sarcasm:

3. OK...there are no pics of the founding fathers. JQA is the first Pres to have a photo.

Nuff said.

4. Proof again

teapubs want to rewrite history instead of owning up to their lies. What a disgrace they are. Never have and never will vote GOP.

5. Same thing happened to the John Wayne entry yesterday

6. The John Wayne page has already been semi protected due to vandalism

Interesting tactic. Invent reality and use Wikipedia to document it.

9. It's called Newspeak and G. Orwell predicted it in his book 1984, that AND Un-Ending War. nt

16. Yes, and now the John Quincy Adams bio has been semi-protected, too.

Semi-protection means that the page can be edited only by people who've had a registered Wikipedia account for more than a few days. It blocks the people who've come to the project only for a single purpose like rewriting the history of the Revolution.

Of course, they could register an account and come back in a few days, but quite often they don't. Even if they do, they find that their silly edits are still promptly reverted. They try again in a few hours, and someone else reverts them. It's not long before they get bored and go away. "Given enough eyeballs, all thugs are callow."

7. OMG did you watch the vid where he asks WHO she is taking the country back FROM?

She says she is taking it back "from the people all across the nation." LOL. Isn't that what she said?

[itsrobert]

8. He was portrayed by Jack Klugman in the television series "Quincy, M.E."

Did I do that?

[johnnypneumatic]

11. he was a founding pre-teen

[Zoeisright]

12. That's repukes for you. Lie, cheat, and steal. Rewrite history.

After all, the truth and facts are liberal.

[robertpaulsen]

13. Not surprising. The Bachmaniacs did that yesterday to John Wayne.

Edited briefly to say he was born in Waterloo instead of Waterset. These people think 1984 was a how-to book for spreading The Word.

[L. Coyote]

18. Did they turn John Wayne straight too?

[sufrommich]

14. I think some of these edits are meant to be satirical. nt

[provis99]

15. wasn't Reagan a Founding Father?

After all, he was also Jesus Christ's idol.

[spanone]

17. bwahahahahaaa...what a silly society we've become

[L. Coyote]

19. Waterloo is the epitomy of HUGE DEFEAT! Don't tell Bachmann, she will find out soon enough.

[proud2BlibKansan]

20. He was a very gifted child!

LOL
