Today Texas Governor Rick Perry held his prayer rally "The Response," with a panoply of the most insane, bigoted, and outright racist fundamental Christian leaders imploring their God to help them turn America into a repressive theocracy. No, I'm not exaggerating. Right Wing Watch is posting videos from this bizarre congruence of ...

I strongly encourage any journalists writing about the no-longer anonymous blogger 'Fjordman' to actually read what this person has written, because you'll discover that his disavowals and deflections are designed to cover up not only far right opinions, but overt white supremacism. Over the years, Peder Jensen has become increasingly ...

She's been on a sad, disturbing path of self-destruction for years, so unfortunately this is no surprise: Amy Winehouse Found Dead At Home In Camden, London, Police Confirm. For some artists, prodigious talent is a curse. Rest in peace, Amy.

Bryan Fischer of the American Family Association is not the only one in that religious right organization with some screws loose. Here's the AFA's Alex McFarland interviewing preacher Marvin Sanders, who warns that same sex marriage is a sign of the End Times, and that the nation needs a Christian ...

Dutch demagogue Geert Wilders, hero of the right wing "anti-jihad" loons, has been acquitted of hate speech in the Netherlands. The presiding judge said Wilders' remarks were sometimes "hurtful," "shocking" or "offensive," but that they were made in the context of a public debate about Muslim integration and multi-culturalism, and ...

It's been frustrating to watch the media suddenly falling all over themselves to proclaim Michele Bachmann (R-Mars) a "serious candidate," because I've been keeping track of her sheer lunacy for years, and Bachmann is so extreme she makes even Rick Santorum look sane. Michelle Goldberg has a very good piece in ...

As the Republican candidates for President prepare for tonight's debate (at 8pm ET), CNN gives religious fanatic Tony Perkins a column to explain: Who social conservatives want for 2012. There's plenty of spinning, but Perkins eventually gets down to his real agenda; the ludicrous claim that "big government" can only be ...

It's become both an article of faith and a litmus test for conservatives to claim that global warming is a "hoax," presumably staged by evil scientists bent on world domination. This incredibly dangerous ostrich-like thinking is nearly universal on the right wing and in the Republican Party, and yesterday we ...

There is one aspect of our own mentality for which it's difficult as yet to foresee what type of explanation would even be relevant. I'm referring, of course, to consciousness. The point is that although I have no reason to believe that my consciousness is implemented by anything other than ...

DERPThe densest right wing blogger on the web, Jim "Dim" Hoft, keeps finding new ways to excel at his chosen pastime of making a complete fool of himself in public. Today he live-hateblogged the President's address to AIPAC: OBAMA BOOED AT AIPAC (Video) | The Gateway Pundit They just introduced Barack ...

In three short paragraphs about President Obama's speech this morning, the Associated Press warps the story beyond recognition: Obama says Palestine must be based in 1967 borders. WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama is endorsing the Palestinians' demand for their future state to be based on the borders that existed before ...

It's one phony outrage after another for the right wing blogosphere; today they're all lathered up into a fine frothy rage because President Obama is going to renew Muslim outreach. WASHINGTON—President Barack Obama is preparing a fresh outreach to the Muslim world in coming days, senior U.S. officials say, one ...

Andrew Breitbart's "Big Peace" is his anti-Islam site, run by Frank "Sharia Is Taking Over America" Gaffney and featuring an all-star cast of far right Muslim-hating loons. And today, they're getting out in front of the news by demanding proof that Osama bin Laden is dead: Display Bin Laden’s Body At ...

Here's another thread to discuss the incredible news that Osama bin Laden has finally been brought to justice. I was pretty convinced that he was already dead, and that we might never know what really happened, but I've never been happier to admit I was wrong. It's been a long 10 ...

President Obama is scheduled to make a statement at ~10:30 pm ET, related to national security. Here's a thread to discuss this unusual development... UPDATE at 5/1/11 7:32:43 pm Live video: [Video removed] UPDATE at 5/1/11 7:49:50 pm Multiple sources now confirming that Osama bin Laden is dead, and the US has the body and ...

Yesterday we pointed out that despite the right wing's hysterical ranting that President Obama had dealt Christians a grievous insult by not issuing an "Easter proclamation," the fact is that neither Ronald Reagan nor George W. Bush (or any other President since 1980, the farthest back I checked) ever issued ...

Tennessee is a very active front (but not the only one by a long shot) in the Republican Party's all-out war against science. As we noted last week, Republicans in the Tennessee House of Representatives passed an absurd anti-evolution bill deceptively labeled as "academic freedom" -- the latest tactic of ...

At the very last minute, the Republican Party backed down on holding the budget hostage to destroy Planned Parenthood. But the attacks against the nation's largest provider of women's health services are not going to stop; in fact, you can expect right wingers to get even more vicious and dishonest. ...

If you want to see how deranged the commenting sections of right wing blogs have gotten, just go read any of their posts about the violence in Afghanistan. Gateway Pundit, Hot Air, Pamela "Shrieking Harpy" Geller, Fox Nation -- all of them are packed with comments calling for genocide against ...

Terry Jones's bigoted stunt has now triggered violence in Kandahar, as hard-line imams and Taliban leaders exploit the Koran-burning to whip up hatred against Americans and other foreigners: Deadly Protests for Koran Burning Reach Kandahar. I notice today that the usual right wing idiots are screaming that I blame Terry Jones ...

The American Family Association's Bryan Fischer is not just a raving nut on the fringe; he consorts with Republicans at the top tier of political power. GOP presidential hopefuls Tim Pawlenty and Mike Huckabee have appeared on his web show. Newt Gingrich channels large amounts of money through Fischer's organization ...

Congratulations to Pamela "Shrieking Harpy" Geller and Robert "Poison Dwarf" Spencer; their "Stop the Islamization of America" is listed in the Southern Poverty Law Center's annual survey of extremist organizations, under the heading of anti-Muslim hate groups. Anti-Muslim hate groups are a relatively new phenomenon in the United States, most ...

In South Carolina yesterday, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Mars) went all the way out in a ranting speech accusing President Obama of "brown-nosing" the elites. “Our Peace Prize-winning president is very busy bowing these days to kings,” she said. “He is bending down to dictators, and he is brown-nosing the elites ...
