Example Two: Same Old Stuff

Ellen Schrecker article now reads,

"John Earl Haynes charged that "Schrecker… devotes hundreds of pages
to demonizing opposition to communism in any form." Schrecker argues
that her position is that "in this country[,] McCarthyism did more
damage to the constitution than the American Communist party ever
did."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellen_W._Schrecker

Hence Wikipedia is used as a soapbox to defame Prof. John Earl Haynes
of the Library of Congress as an appologist for McCarthyism by
equating McCarthyism with "opposition to communism in any form".  This
method of allowing "criticsim of critics" for NOPV was raised at
Talk:Chip Berlet while the page was protected from editing an
unsubstaniated defamatory charge against Mr. Laird Wilcox as "an
unethical reporter".  I asked,

"...is this the normal format in Wiki articles were "Criticism" subhead
have been created for NPOV, where than the critics are then
smeared..."

A neutral editor proposed "criticism of the criticism...should be pruned out."

I of course was charged with personal attacks and this group of
editors continues to push POV under license as a result of the
evidence now admitted to have been errantlly disallowed in my case.
