John Quincy Adams Wikipedia Page Edited To Describe Him As A ‘Founding Father’

By Tanya Somanader

GOP presidential candidate Rep. Michele Bachmann is now getting the Sarah Palin treatmenton Wikipedia. In light of Bachmann’s latest historical hiccup, people are trying to edit John Quincy Adam’s Wikipedia page to reflect her recent gaffe. One edit, for example, changes his description from “John Adams was the sixth President of the United States” to “John Adams, a founding father, was the sixth President of the United States.”

Another more satirical edit added, “But even as an embryo, John Quincy Adams could feel pain and was a Founding Father.” In striking the revisions, the page administrator included the statement, “Please don’t edit an historical article based on current events.” Incidentally, theFounding Fathers Wikipedia page still does not list John Quincy Adams as a member.
