Christopher Halloran / Shutterstock.com Republican presidential candidates Mike Huckabee and Ted Cruz are whining furiously after President Obama had the nerve to criticize them for their mean-spirited calls to turn away Middle Eastern refugees and anti-Muslim fear-mongering. "Our president instead of going full bore against ISIS seems to be more intent ...

YouTube Bobby Jindal announces on Fox News that he's "suspending" his campaign. (Which means he's quitting. But candidates use "suspending" so they can continue to get money from the FEC to offset their campaign costs.) His announcement on Fox News contains the usual trademark bigoted anti-Muslim, anti-immigrant message. This is the season ...

Some interesting news from the investigation into the terrorist attacks in Paris: the Syrian passport found near one of the terrorists' bodies may have been planted in an attempt to stir up anti-immigrant hatred in Europe. “The single most intriguing fact is that the passport was there at all,” one ...

Gawker's lawyers have filed their responses to cyberstalker Chuck C. Johnson's crack legal team in Johnson's defamation suit, and all I can say is "ouch." If Chuck Johnson weren't such a horrible malicious person I'd feel sorry for him, because he's hopelessly outclassed here. There are three documents, courtesy of @AdamSteinbaugh: A ...

YouTube This press conference was the most awake I’ve seen Ben Carson in…. well, ever. I half expected him to pull out a hammer and go after that guy on his left who kept asking him the uncomfortable questions. Don't miss the section where he runs through a selection of choice anti-Obama ...

YouTube When Ben Carson was asked today by reporters about his bizarre and ahistorical theory that the pyramids were built by the biblical character Joseph to "store grain," he answered that there was nothing silly about his pyramid idea because he believes in the Bible. Of course, the Bible doesn't actually mention ...

YouTube A big win for right wing fear-mongering yesterday in Houston. Seizing on the proposal’s gender-identity provision, a group calling itself the Campaign for Houston recruited women, pastors, and even the ex-Astros star Lance Berkman to warn that the ordinance would allow predatory men legal cover to enter women’s bathrooms simply ...

Far right pastor Kevin Swanson SoundCloud Extreme anti-gay right wing pastor Kevin Swanson, who's hosting the "National Religious Liberties Conference" in Des Moines, Iowa, this weekend (featuring presidential candidates Mike Huckabee, Ted Cruz and Bobby Jindal) announced recently on his radio show (all these whack jobs have radio shows) that same-sex marriage ...

YouTube It really doesn't matter to these raving loons that there's absolutely no evidence to support their wild fear-mongering claims; they just keep repeating the lies endlessly: Rafael Cruz: LGBT Community Will 'Try to Legalize Pedophilia'.

Christopher Halloran / Shutterstock.com For the first time, Ben Carson has edged ahead of Donald Trump in a new national Times/CBS News poll. Why is Trump slipping? I strongly suspect it's because Donald Trump isn't religious enough for the right wing base; they love his anti-immigrant xenophobia and his megalomaniac personality, but when ...

Last night @AdamSteinbaugh downloaded and posted to Scribd one of the strangest and most incoherent legal documents ever submitted to a federal court: Chuck C.

A few days ago the Internet's most incompetent "journalist" posted this on Facebook, denying early reports that he missed the deadline for filing his response to Gawker's motion to dismiss his lawsuit and their anti-SLAPP motion (that might end up costing Chuck a lot of money). And then, today his lawyer ...

Shapiro of the Corn Right wingers do this ridiculous word-twisting game all the time, distorting absolutely anything President Obama says to make it look like he's an evil tyrant who hates America.

As usual, immediately following the horrific Oregon school shooting right wingers began shouting that it was "too soon" to talk about gun control.

A number of states have launched investigations into Planned Parenthood after the release of the Center for Medical Progress's blatantly deceptive videos, including Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and South Dakota, and so far every state has completely vindicated the women's health organization of any and all wrongdoing. Today Missouri joins ...
