lowellsun.com — The staff of U.S. Rep Marty Meehan wiped out references to his broken term-limits pledge as well as information about his huge campaign war chest. It also deleted a reference to the size of Meehan's campaign account, the largest of any House member at $4.8 million

This guy is just another straw for me, I am so sick of our government figures saying one thing and doing absolutely the other and LYING STRAIGHT TO OUR FACE. More than that I am SICK of people BUYING IT.

This does not suprise me! Typical lying Democrat from Taxachusetts! What a miserable scumbag, right up there with Ted Kennedy -- "I drowned a woman by driving off a bridge and didn't report it for 10 hours so I could sober up" and John Kerry -- "I voted for it, before I voted against it". I just spent a half hour reading his website where he says things like "supporting and strengthening our Armed Forces" while at the same time following the anti-war crowd talking points <a class="user" href="http://www.house.gov/meehan/iraq.html.">http://www.house.gov/meehan/iraq.html.</a> Sorry, you can't "Support Our Troops" but be against their mission in Iraq! He's also from Lowell Massachusetts, home of White Crack Heads with no Teeth! Then he goes on about Human RIghts and the Falun Gong who maintain the following belief (Falun Gong) -- "The mentality that makes you homosexual was driven by postnatally-formed bad things. But you yourself were numbed by them and went along with them and wallowed in the mud. You need to find yourself again and stop doing those filthy things. Gods view them as filthy." They also believe aliens are causing the races to mix in breeding to weaken us and distance us from god. Mixture of Taoism, Buddhism, and Christianity. It's a rather new religion and is considered by many (not just China) to be a cult. The Representative Marty Meehan is pro Gays in the military and against "Don't Ask Don't Tell" policies but he is pro Falun Gong as a valid religion and seeks to protect them from persecution in China. While Falun Gong is clearly anti-homosexual! Meanwhile, real religious leaders in China who don't bow to the communist churches control are laid out in the street, bound and literally run over with a steam roller as the church membership is forced to watch and listen to the sound of skulls popping! The survivors then get shipped to forced labor camps. This horrific event happened to Christian missionaries when the pastors house was knocked down in 1997 to make way for a new road (communist version of eminent domain -- didn't even notify the residents that their house was to be demolished.) and they found a Bible and church member list. They then rounded everyone up to watch the church leadership being murdered in the most horrific way. Why don't we hear about such things in the news? Because it's suppressed by the mainstream media which has a Democratic bias, that's why. The socialist Democrats constantly buddy up with China (Clinton gave them secret weapons technology), Cuba (Democrats frequently visit Castro), and now Chavez is the new darling. The Democrats are constantly siding with those groups who are against Christianity and religion in general. I suspect it has to do with their support of abortion which most Christians believe to be a horrific sin. After all their hero Karl Marx stated "religion is the opiate of the masses". The far left are a hairs breadth away from being communists themselves. What party supported slavery? Why the Democrats that's who! What party put more blacks and latinos into positions of power? The Republicans, that's who! Open your eyes people! The Democrats have been lying to you for 50 years. Start reading some history and you will begin to see the truth. Their editing of Wikipedia is small potatoes to what they have done to the education system in this country!

After seeing the article running in The Lowell Sun, I combed through the entire history of wikipedia contributions . I was surprised to see that there were hundreds (pretty close to 1000 entries).Though I was pleased to see that there were a fair amount of edits updating dates and facts to be current (everyone switching from the 108th to the 109th Congress), I was shocked to see that there was a large propaganda and misinformation campaign as well.Some were personal attacks saying things like "He is generally not a good person," and childish things like adding Scott Mclellan (Bush's press secretary) to the entry for Douche; other were of a much more serious nature. The entry for Ralph Neas (Director of a the liberal People for the American Way) was edited to say he was a Socialist, and the more subtle but equally effective changing the description of MoveOn (a progressive political organization) to be categorized as "left-wing."Many Congressional offices were removing any negative information or simply replacing the entire article with their official House bio. Emily Lawrimore (Communications Director Congressman Joe Wilson, emily.lawrimore@mail.house.gov) posted, on the discussion page for her boss "I work for Congressman Joe Wilson (listed as Addison Graves Wilson). Could you update his bio with information from the following official bio too?"Some political officials like Congressman Jim Ramstad (R-MN 3rd) just wanted to remove any references to the word "liberal". The articles for Congressman Trent Franks (R-AZ 2nd), and Rick Renzi (R-AZ 1st) were completely erased and replaced with official House biographies.Getting even worse Congressman Richard Pombo (R-CA 11th) and Governor Bob Taft (R-OH) removed references to their ties with Jack Abramoff (who in a recent Washington scandal pled guilty to three felony counts, conspiracy, fraud, and tax evasion). Congressman Mark Green (R-WI 8th) removed any mention of his ties with the recently indicted Tom DeLay and generally removed any unflattering or scandal related information. A full list of the effected articles is available.The possible most egregious entry was editing the article "2003 Invasion of Iraq." Erasing legitimate information, adding knowingly false information and generally purporting that there were links between Iraq and al Qaeda.This appears to be a somewhat serious problem as this is one IP address of who knows how many. See the discussion page for this IP address at Wikipedia to see some of the known staffers who have been editing articles.

Well I saw this article and the amount of 'diggs' it's received and I thought 'well they just don't know that he is a democrat.' Then I start to read the comments and although I was partly right, the majority of you do know that he is a democrat. There is hope for this community yet. *tear* (OO;)

lets face it guys, most senators are c**kwhores - republican or democrat. Also, @dbooster, you said that the electoral system is fair and that voting against your state's party makes a difference - you say you understand the electoral system, but you really don't. Say I'm a democrat, but I live in a highly republican state (Texas). I go vote, but there are so many republicans the state goes to the republicans. In this example, the republicans get the electoral votes, and the democrats get NOTHING, even though i voted for them. If it was a popular system, everyone would get to vote, and the republicans would vote their own way, but now the democrats get my vote counted too. This also works for the republicans in liberal states, so that the votes are more equal (every vote counts towards your party, whether or not your state votes with you). Basically, if you weren't a retard you would have understood what your 9th grade teacher was saying and wouldn't have attacked the other guy who made a good point, but whatever...
