I clicked through to their article on Conservapedia because I was curious what they had to say about it and
Conservapedia, also known as “The Trusworthy [sic] Encyclopedia”, is essentially an American-exceptionalist and dominionist group blog, disguised as a half-functioning wiki. The website was created by God-King Andrew Schlafly in 2006 because of his belief that Wikipedia is deceitfully riddled with “liberal bias” and “atheist bias,”[note 1] because apparently the best way to solve real or imagined bias is to create a website that is biased in an opposite way. The vast majority of articles go out of their way to blame pretty much everything negative on “liberals” (which they use as a catch-all snarl term for anyone and everyone who disagrees with them on just about any given issue — which happens to be everyone),
I have to say I find it kind of funny that a site calling itself “RationalWiki” would use language like this. I have my doubts that it is possible to violate Wikipedia’s “encyclopedic tone” guideline any harder.
It’s a Wiki, so you can just pop in and add a bullet point however you like, assuming you have an account.
This probably was crafted by a small pool of die-hards who dropped a name on the list any time they found out someone existed who made them mad.
It’s specifically Conservapedia. They once tried to make their own translation of the Bible because they thought existing ones were too liberal.

Edit: almost forgot. The guy who runs it is the son of anti-feminist Phyllis Schlafly.
Talk about a fall from grace.
That was a fun fucking read. Amazing.
