SoundCloud As leader of the Family Research Council and an extreme right wing Christian conservative, Tony Perkins is a creationist who thinks evolution is a lie circulated by evil scientists trying to persecute good God-fearing people by forcing them to believe their granddaddies were apes. But that doesn't stop him from trying ...

President Obama is being attacked from all sides for deciding not to use the word "genocide" when he speaks this Friday about the murders of more than a million Armenians by Ottoman Turks in the early 20th century. Armenians are especially upset, of course, but right wing media and politicians ...

Our article about pseudo-journalist Chuck C. Johnson's "men's rights advocate," Jeremiah True (who was arrested on Thursday for sexual abuse of under-age girls at a rugby practice session) apparently got the Ginger Avenger quite upset, sending him into a multi-tweet tirade filled with insults and personal attacks. So, win! In the ...

One of the horrible political developments of the past few years has been the complete acceptance of radical anti-Muslim hatred by the Republican Party. The nastiest bigoted conspiracy theories and fear-mongering have become totally mainstream GOP positions; fantasies about shariah law taking over America, accusations of terrorist ties against innocent ...

By now everyone's heard about the reports that a French prosecutor has alleged that copilot Andreas Lubitz deliberately crashed a Germanwings A320 into an alpine mountain late Tuesday. Key word, of course, being "alleged," because nothing has been determined for certain yet. But that doesn't stop the Stupidest Man on the ...

Since the 2016 race for the presidency is already heating up at this early stage, I thought it might be a good idea to post the most recent report--published on February 9, 2015, by the University of North Carolina and the Triangle Center on Terrorism and Homeland Security--regarding homegrown terrorism. ...

I have to confess that I'm totally unsurprised by the latest news on James O'Keefe's creepy subterfuge: Ex-Staffer Slams James O'Keefe: He Crossed a Line With Vile 'Kill Cops' Stunt. Richard Valdes, the former director of special operations for O'Keefe's organization Project Veritas, told TPM on Thursday that the guerrilla ...

Since Rudy Giuliani's ugly comments about President Obama not loving America, I've been making the point that Scott Walker is deliberately dodging the question because he simply can't afford to alienate the deeply deranged base of Republican voters if he plans to run for president. Today at the Washington Post, ...

Yes, Scott Walker is now going there: Walker Says He Is Unaware Whether Obama Is a Christian.

Last month, Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo announced on CNN that she planned to sue Fox News for defaming the city of Paris with their false claims about Muslim-controlled "no-go zones."

A Dallas Morning News editorial on that absolutely disgraceful display of anti-Muslim hatred at the Texas Capitol pulls no punches: Editorial: Capitol Spectacle Brings Shame on Texas.

YouTube Right wing loons are always demanding that Muslims renounce terrorism and show their loyalty to the United States. And this is what happens when they do.

YouTube Media reports on Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal's "prayer rally" made it seem completely unremarkable. Just some religious folks praying, that's all. Good clean fun for the whole Christian family! But Right Wing Watch supplies us with a video clip that shows the true intention of this religious right crowd -- they ...

Steve Emerson, who claims to be an Islam expert, was on Fox News spouting off bogus statistics about Muslims living in the UK.

In the wake of the Charlie Hebdo terror attack, anti-Muslim ranting at right wing blogs has reached an insane feverish pitch, totally out of control, and not a single blogger or commenter is denouncing it. It's off the scale; I've never seen it worse than this. For example, at Breitbart "News," ...
