This is not to say that it is overwhelming; like the Troy King case above, Charlie Crist has been dogged by gay rumors. It appears that that section of the Crist article will not be reinserted any time soon.

Not all Wikipedia editors (or for that matter, Wikipedia admins) are left-wingers (I’m certainly not), but enough of them are that current events articles have to be taken with a grain of salt. And (as is pointed out repeatedly), Wikipedia shouldn’t be cited as a source, but well-written Wikipedia articles will be well-sourced, and using those sources (whether available through an online link or by going to a library and checking out the book) is the way to write a paper.

Qualifications for what? Big Swinging Dick of the Scientific World? His Holiness Pope of the Reordered Reality? Grand Vizar of the Left-Handed Universe? Get this, oh thou pathetic genuflector to the (iffy) academic reductors of the entire planet’s complexity into stupid GW zealotry….it takes a real ass to assert that anything as complex as planetary weather and solar radiant processes is the purview and express domain of a set of academic racketeers (money grubbers), whack-job economic tramps,scheeming ven-caps, carbon traders and their lobbyists, and the creepy, often murdering UN politicians and their lickspittles. Oh, and why does Gore refuse to debate GW? because GW is “settled science”? Or is it because he’d get his head handed to him?.

I’ve seen some real dogs walk off with advanced degrees at my institution, and I have two big fancy ones myself which I also fancy I actually earned…does this make me twice the man your admired propagandist/censor is? In my opinion no, but perhaps you would like to kiss my butt anyway. Thanks, but no. Fools are impressed by such stuff, but the more hard-headed, aka the real scientists, go over the data, not the transcripts. As it happens, I’m engaged in the search for truth and like real scientists I welcome and delight in other’s tests of my work. If they’re full of it, I pass their letters around to my friends andwe have a hearty laugh. If they’ve got something,it may put my work in the round file for this year. So what? It’s called SCIENCE,and it’s what I do. I don’t have to like it, but reality sometimes bites. However, when somebody says another scientist’s objections are junk because “its settled science” the bastard is up to something. When MSM pubs, and jokes like Wiki suppress dissent, the bastards are also up to something. Whatever it is, it isn’t SCIENCE.

Use your head…. Connolley is one guy with a degree in a “maybe” sort of discipline that is an amalgam of other disciplines, with a very wide range of technically accomplished people. Some climatologists are real scientists, but most of these guys don’t even do their own work…they just barf up NOAA scripts on the six o’clock news. Scientists, my ass. So follow the money. If that doesn’t work..look for the religious impulse.

Anyone who tries to shut up other scientists and suppress dissent is part of a long academic tradition but that doesn’t make it right (See: T. Kuhn; Structure of Scientific Revolutions). Under it all is a scumbag trying to feed on the technically unwashed, the chronically naive and worst of all, innocent children (usually in that poisonous font of socialist propaganda, the public schools). In summation, the GW witch-burners do not do science but anti-science, and all these GW-associated censors are just another brand of flat-earth morons and Lysenkoist racketeers.
