Speaking today at the unofficial CPAC panel “Islamic Law in America: How the Obama Justice Department Is Selling Us Out,” sponsored by Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer, James Lafferty of the Virginia Anti-Sharia Task Force was "proud to say" that most of the mosques attacked in the US were in ...

This is rather unfortunate, but what other choice does Obama have? If he doesn't deploy his own Super PACs (while never actually coordinating with them, wink), the gargantuan amounts of money the Republicans will throw into the race would give them an overwhelming advantage: We Will Not Play by Two ...

A pretty amazing statement (and not in a good way) from New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, who made an argument against a measure legalizing gay marriage by comparing it to the civil rights movement -- and ended up saying that the civil unrest of the 1950s and 60s could have ...

MIT climate scientist Kerry Emanuel was featured in a video interview posted recently at Grist.org, and this triggered a deluge of frenzied hate mail and threats against his family from right wing climate change deniers. This is where the ignorance espoused by the Republican Party leads: hateful morons threatening the wives ...

The Atlantic's Steve Clemons asks a question about the video that surfaced this week, showing US Marines urinating on dead Taliban: US Soldiers Give Ammo to Taliban. As Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, US military officers -- incumbents and retired -- and others in DC's firmament condemn the US soldiers that ...

Human progress having reached a high level through respect for the liberty and dignity of men, it has become desirable to re-affirm these evident truths: [Item List] -- Will Durant, Declaration of Interdependence

[Link: www.cbsnews.com...] The fact that MSNBC still thinks there's a real decision to make here tells me that they are cynically hoping that the furor dies down so they can slip him back on air later. After all is said and done, propagating a hater's viewpoints as news is actually a ...

More details are emerging about the alleged perpetrator of a string of firebomb attacks in Queens, New York, and we now have confirmation that the suspect, Ray Lazier Lengend, is a violent anti-Muslim bigot: Alleged Queens firebomber wanted to massacre Muslims in mosque, prosecutors say. THE UNHINGED Queens pyromaniac who ...

Ron Paul has been running like a scared rabbit away from his racist newsletters, because he knows that ugly, overt racism has become political poison. But there are some kinds of bigotry that still play well with the conservative base. Soon there will come a day when haters like Ron Paul ...

Jim "Dim" Hoft and company are upset that "Bare Naked Islam" has been taken down after a CAIR complaint and FBI investigation. (Note: I'm not a big fan of CAIR as they also have a history of hyper-sensitivity, some bad associations, and in the past they sent the FBI after ...

Brought to you by Newt Gingrich, a middle-aged white guy break-dancing in an elf costume, while the worst carolers in history yowl away in the background. An instant classic in the genre of right wing inadvertent comedy. (h/t: Ben Smith.)

After his amazingly dumb, self-refuting post yesterday claiming that the media is "covering up" connections between the White House shooting suspect and OWS, check out the Twitter insanity coming from Andrew Breitbart editor-in-chief John Nolte today, exulting about violence against OWS protesters and calling for more. Don't forget, though; in the ...

Police in Washington DC are searching for a man they suspect of shooting at the White House, after the discovery of a bullet that hit a window: DC Shooting Suspect Could Be Threat to Obama, Police Say. ABC News has learned authorities are increasingly concerned that a man sought in ...

Imagine my surprise to learn that one of the would-be right wing terrorists arrested in Georgia this week was a commenter at Erick Erickson's RedState.com. Today, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution published a broader picture of the four men accused of the terror plan. Dustin Baker at the blog GAPolitico flags one ...

A Herman Cain scandal erupts, just in time for the beginning of the weekly news cycle: Exclusive: Two women accused Herman Cain of inappropriate behavior. During Herman Cain’s tenure as the head of the National Restaurant Association in the 1990s, at least two female employees complained to colleagues and senior ...

I went down to the site of Occupy Wall Street (after first having been confused at Zucotti park, where I luckily found a few dudes from the protests who sent me in the right direction) to ask some random questions I thought would be illuminating. Before I get into the data, ...

Yea, verily. The End Times approach-eth. LGF linked at ThinkProgress: Pam Geller Linked Anti-Muslim Activist Calls For Mass Murder Of Congressmen, Muslims, Liberals And Journalists (Updated). Pamela Geller's business associate John Jay has a pretty hilarious rant about me at his site, too: summer patriot, winter soldier: start the revolution ... apparently things ...

Of all the right wing race-baiting demagogues, Andrew Breitbart is one of the most duplicitous and dishonest, continually denying that any racism exists in the conservative/Tea Party movement, and whipping out the tired old "reverse racism" talking points every chance he gets. So let's have a look at Breitbart's own website, ...

It's amazing how quickly these bogus outrages propagate in the right wing media and blogosphere these days: Timeline Of A Right-Wing Media Smear: Hoffa's Call To Vote Became 'A Call For Violence'. Starting with Fox News's doctored videos, the story quickly spread throughout the online wingnut community. And not a single ...

This is one of the sleaziest, most dishonest things I've ever seen Fox News do. People need to start seriously asking what's going on with a news organization that would try to pull something like this. The right wing blogs and media have been going ballistic all day about the latest ...

A new study from the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence shows that over the past two years, US gun manufacturers have 'lost' more than 16,000 guns. The report, released by the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, pulled data from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) ...

The editor of science journal Remote Sensing is resigning, after admitting that a recent paper by creationist climate change denier Roy Spencer should not have been published. Spencer's paper was another one of those "crushing blows" that was supposed to "destroy the hoax of climate change," to quote one of the ...

The August jobs report is out and getting lots of headlines, but as is too often the case the headlines don't really tell the story. Right off the bat, let me criticize the "no jobs" claims so common in headlines - it's just wrong. There are always new jobs ...

Well, Rick Perry surprised me. I thought even Perry would have to realize that his statement implying Fed chairman Ben Bernanke should be lynched went way too far, and that he'd walk it back with one of the standard political non-denial denials. Instead, Rick Perry's campaign issued an official "clarification" ... ...

Rick Perry's going to deny he was suggesting violence, of course, but yesterday he said about Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke: "If this guy prints more money between now and the election, I dunno what y’all would do to him in Iowa but we would treat him pretty ugly down ...
