Is this really a legitimate comunity driven site, or is it left-wing satire? I know the steroetype of conservatives is that anything they don't agree with or doesn't fit thier worldview/agenda will be met with a claim of liberal bias. But this site is over the top. I really can't believe it's actually driven by the conservative community. So, is Conservapedia a farce?

No, it seriously reflects the right wing.

More of the right-wing trying to indoctrinate people into faith based/emotion governed ideas, as they try to make you think liberals are doing.
<
which means they are either too lazy to add their own entries, or don't like events being charactarized how they realistically happened, according to the research sited.
and really, it isn't really a sterotype. It is a stereotype of conservatives i agree, but of right-wing extremists, that you can be sure are behind this silly site, it isn't.
The problem is, conservatives have been allowing right-wing extremism to guide their political ideology for far to long. That is obvious when conservatives who take an opposing view on an issue is immediately denounced as liberals.
Funny that it mentions nothing about the ultra-conservative southern democrats that joined the republican party, but claims to be trustworthy. yup laughable!

Hey. I learned something new from it. MLK Jr would have supported affirmative action.
In his 1964 book, WHY WE CAN'T WAIT, Rev. King wrote:
Whenever this issue of compensatory or preferential treatment for the ***** is raised, some of our friends recoil in horror. The ***** should be granted equality, they agree, but he should ask for nothing more. On the surface, this appears reasonable, but it is not realistic. For it is obvious that if a man enters the starting line of a race three hundred years after another man, the first would have to perform some incredible feat in order to catch up.

It apparently is the real deal. To some conservatives, truth is about "staying on message" and sticking to "talking points". Any reality that does not line up with the 'message' is labled a lie or liberal bias. So conservapedia just carries on the theme.

Conservapedia is as serious as Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter and Bill O'Reilly are. Personally I don't take ANY of them very seriously either, but that's up to the individual to decide.

I read that it was developed because some conservatives thought that Wikipedia was too left wing. So in a sense, yes, conservapedia is kinda real, it is a right wing rebuttle type of website to Wikipedia. Very stupid.

the countless maximum bigoted, closed-minded people i've got ever met have been so-referred to as "liberals". Btw, Glowbull Wormening is a hoax. you in all possibility prefer to apply your "open techniques" to do somewhat study on that subject count till now you embarrass your self back!

It's surprising to see how many dullards are chomping at the bit to play apologist for their fellow Conservapedia idiots.

Some person started a website. That does NOT mean it reflects real conservative values.

It's not a joke (well, it's a joke to me...). They (conservatives who started it) thought Wikipedia, who is edited by we the people, has a liberal bias ~ so they started this.
