Well, too much. I'm on-board for fighting fascism, but not using
Wikipedia as a vehicle. We need to have a policy discussion on-wiki about
this.

I've been actually reading the sources cited; this is interesting and
useful information, but needs to be handled more appropriately by both
Wikipedia and Google. We need to bring the creator, and protector, of the
article into the discussion too.
