Article rationale[edit]

I created this article in the belief that a record should be preserved of Conservapedia's Andrew Schlafly]'s term, Affirmative Action President.

Unfortunately, the article fomented a hysteria amongst Wikipedia's editors who, amid claims of neologism and prejudice both for and against Presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama, demanded its removal. One editor interpreted it as an attack upon Conservapedia and another objected that the article promoted Conservapedia. One called it an "Attack page (for all intents and purposes). Borderline racist nonsense. Neologism. RS issues."

One has to wonder if they read the article or simply the headline.

In any case, I still believe a record should be kept of the Conservapedia article.
