Twitchy.com, Michelle Malkin's fake right wing news site, has developed a great formula for firing up the wingnut blogosphere: they search Twitter for random nasty comments about conservatives, then label the tweeters "libs" and repost the tweets, leading to a right wing pile-on and rage-gasm. Today's case in point: “Kill Scott ...

Breitbart.com editor John Nolte is calling for right wingers to harass, stalk, and bully liberals on Twitter, and in typical Breitbart megalomaniac fashion, Nolte calls this "The Battle for America on Twitter." I think it's a great idea for wingnuts like Nolte to get out there in public and show the ...

Where does GOP presumptive nominee Mitt Romney stand on foreign policy? That's a question that even his advisers are asking. He went and said that we shouldn't negotiate with the Taliban and that we should defeat the Taliban, even as many of his advisers and supporters are looking at a ...

Former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger calls out the ideological extremists who dominate today's Republican Party: California's GOP Should Take Down Its Small Tent. I've been writing my memoirs recently, and looking back at how I came to my political identity has reminded me that this election cycle marks my 44th ...

The bill to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act of 1994 has passed the Senate, and every single Senator who voted against it was a Republican man. (h/t: Gus.) The full list: NAYs -- 31 Barrasso (R-WY) Blunt (R-MO) Boozman (R-AR) Burr (R-NC) Chambliss (R-GA) Coburn (R-OK) Cochran (R-MS) Cornyn (R-TX) DeMint (R-SC) Enzi (R-WY) Graham (R-SC)Grassley (R-IA) Hatch (R-UT) Inhofe (R-OK) Isakson (R-GA) Johanns (R-NE) Johnson (R-WI) Kyl (R-AZ) Lee ...

We should be grateful to people like Florida's far right Tea Party Governor Rick Scott, who make it exceedingly clear that the Republican Party's war on women is very, very real: Governor Rick Scott Vetoes Funds for Rape Crisis Centers During Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Florida Gov. Rick Scott (R) ...

The New York Times has an article today on something that's been incredibly obvious ever since President Obama's election: the Republican Party is bound and determined to see him fail as a president, and they're obstructing absolutely everything he does. And now, Obama is finding ways to get things done ...

Kevin Forts isn't a name that most people recognize, but he came to the forefront yesterday when Der Spiegel posted an interview with him on how and why he supports and sympathizes with Norwegian anti-Muslim mass murderer Anders Breivik. Video Øyvind Strømmen brought this to our attention yesterday with his posting here. ...

Another ugly story just coming out of Afghanistan today: photos of a disturbing incident involving US Army troops in 2010. The paratroopers had their assignment: Check out reports that Afghan police had recovered the mangled remains of an insurgent suicide bomber. Try to get iris scans and fingerprints for identification. The ...

As we pointed out last weekend, Breitbart.com editor-in-chief John Nolte really let his hateful inner self show in a recent article for the right wing website, calling for the mother of a child on an HBO show to be "murdered." The reader who sent me the tip on that disgusting comment ...

Breitbart.com editor-in-chief John Nolte apparently got very upset about something he saw on the HBO shock comedy show Angry Boys recently: HBO Broadcasts Young Girl Sucking on Huge Plastic Penis Cup. Nolte's post now reads: The Left is so far gone that we can't even find agreement on the basis that ...

In the wake of John Derbyshire's racist article at Taki's magazine and subsequent dismissal from National Review, I have just learned (via @silviobreckman) that another National Review writer, Robert Weissberg, appeared at the annual American Renaissance gathering alongside white supremacist and Political Cesspool radio host, James Edwards. Robert Weissberg (left) alongside ...

You know all that rhetoric about "race war" that's showing up at Breitbart.com and many other right wing sites these days? It's not just rhetoric. There are some people in Sanford, Florida right now who are taking it very seriously indeed: Armed Neo-Nazis Now Patrolling Sanford, Say They Are 'Prepared' ...

Today, Breitbart.com "editor" Meredith Dake has A Note on Comments, and it's pretty funny. Over the past month, we've monitored how our readers have responded to the new comment format, and how our new comment system has served our site and our vast readership. We've also monitored how the hordes ...

Today Rick Santorum issued the following pro forma statement denouncing last night's Planned Parenthood clinic bombing. "Violence is never the answer, and I will always condemn any and all violent attacks against our fellow Americans.  In this country, we resolve our differences through political discussion and free and fair elections – never ...

Mon, Apr 2, 2012 at 10:24:33 am
I'll come right out and say it. I believe that the religious right and the Republican Party's irresponsible, dishonest rhetorical attacks on Planned Parenthood -- including Mitt Romney's statement that he'd "end Planned Parenthood" -- are responsible for real-world violent attacks like this. The entire GOP is now united ...

How interesting! This morning I had a look at that Dan Riehl thread at Breitbart.com that was full of racist insanity, and discovered that administrators have been quietly deleting comments. So, after Riehl and "Investigative Writer" Mandy Nagy spewed insults at me all day yesterday on Twitter, and denied any responsibility ...

Speaking today on Fox News (the only place she ever speaks), half-governor Sarah Palin tossed another absurd word salad to her wingnut admirers, blathering that President Obama "orchestrated" his remarks about Trayvon Martin. “I think it was orchestrated,” Palin said. “I’m going to get clobbered for even suggesting this, but ...

Tue, Mar 27, 2012 at 5:38:26 pm
At practically every right wing blog and news site, commenters are retching up unbelievably racist comments about Trayvon Martin today; if it seemed at first like they were going to restrain themselves, that illusion has been thoroughly shattered in the past few days. At the site run by Andrew Breitbart's heirs, ...

The GOP's war on women's rights now has another weapon in its arsenal; in Tennessee, Republicans are pushing a new bill that would mandate publication of abortion data, including the names of both doctors and patients. Sheer insanity. Doctors who perform abortions in Tennessee could see their names listed online, and ...

I don't even know what to say about this any more; the comments about Trayvon Martin at Fox News are just unbelievable. Here's the article: Department of Justice Opens Investigation Into Case of Black Teenager Killed by Neighborhood Watch Captain | Fox News. This opens the door for more than 3,000 comments ...

When Andrew Breitbart passed away, the editors and bloggers who made his "Big" sites what they are today swore a blood oath to carry on his legacy of devastating BOMBSHELL stings, and their inept fumbling attempts to do so have produced a classic week of wingnut comedy. Feeding the Media When he ...

This isn't breaking news, but in light of Rush Limbaugh's vicious attacks on Sandra Fluke, I wanted to remind people—including companies that have recently pulled their advertising from his show—that this isn't the first time that Mr. Limbaugh has engaged in morally reprehensible behavior. It's good to have a couple ...

Tue, Feb 14, 2012 at 10:01:05 am
Yes, they're at it again. In the Fox News article about Whitney Houston's daughter, we see the Fox News audience spewing the same kind of nauseating racial hatred they directed at Whitney: Concerns for Whitney Houston's Daughter Mount After Mom's Death | Fox News. Some of these comments were posted by ...

Here's a great post at Balloon Juice by "Soonergrunt," reacting to our post yesterday about Fox News commenters and their ugly racism: Why We Fight. This is Why We Fight. This is the nature of the opposition. I live amongst these people here in what they proudly refer to as ...
