Fox News Commenters Respond to Whitney Houston's Death With Deluge of Hatred and Racism

Sun, Feb 12, 2012 at 10:45 am PST

I don't even know what to say about this any more. There's a real sickness running rampant in the right wing; the Fox News comment thread on Whitney Houston's death is yet another disgusting deluge of outright racism: Singer Whitney Houston Dies at 48 | Fox News. There are almost 5000 ...

Rick Santorum's Dinner With a White Nationalist

Fri, Feb 10, 2012 at 1:57 pm PST

New polls show that Rick Santorum is now the frontrunner for the GOP presidential nomination. And today, Rick Santorum had dinner with an overt white nationalist. I wish I was kidding about this. The Republican Party is openly legitimizing white nationalism at CPAC; this is the year that overt racism went ...

Obama Announces Contraception 'Accommodation' for Religious Organizations

Fri, Feb 10, 2012 at 10:00 am PST

Catholic leaders and evangelicals have apparently managed to raise enough hell that President Obama is making some adjustments to the newly announced contraception rules. Now employers won't have to provide insurance plans that cover contraception for women; insurance providers will do it directly. The move, based on state models, will ...

Video: Rick Santorum's Astoundingly Anti-Science Rant

Thu, Feb 9, 2012 at 12:39 pm PST

I commented yesterday that it was almost unbelievable how crazy the right wing rhetoric is getting, and here's yet another example from reactionary candidate Rick Santorum, speaking in Oklahoma and telling the crowd that the science of global warming is a myth, now totally disproven and rotting in the dustbin ...

Republican anti-choice activist Karen Handel is resigning from the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation, with an angry statement defending her work against Planned Parenthood: Karen Handel Resigns From Komen for the Cure.

Oklahoma Republican Files Bill to Ban Food Containing Aborted Fetuses

Tue, Jan 24, 2012 at 10:12 am PST

Oooo-klahoma. If the state didn't exist, the Onion would have to invent it. Today's story of totally insane right wing fear-mongering is brought to you by GOP State Sen. Ralph Shortey, who is very upset about food products that contain aborted fetuses. Not a joke, of course. It's simply impossible to ...

Pat Robertson: God Told Me Who the Next President Will Be, But I Can't Tell You

Tue, Jan 3, 2012 at 11:34 am PST

Religious right crocodile Pat Robertson said on his TV show "The 700 Club" that God told him who the next president will be. But he's "not supposed to talk about it." God did give Pat permission, though, to let the world know that He's not a fan of Barack Obama. Sometimes I marvel ...

Rick Santorum Wants To Outlaw Birth Control

Tue, Jan 3, 2012 at 11:01 am PST

This election will go down in history as the time when the religious right completely stopped trying to hide anything about their atavistic agenda, and just let everything pour out in a flood of bigotry and misogyny.

Breaking! Many Ron Paul Supporters Aren't Republicans!

Tue, Dec 27, 2011 at 1:18 pm PST

Byron York seems to believe it's news that not all of Ron Paul's supporters are Republicans, but come on; that's been incredibly obvious for years. Ron Paul lives out on the fringes where extreme right and extreme left wrap around and meet. It's incorrect to call these people "mischief voters," as ...

Mon, Dec 26, 2011 at 4:49 pm PST

Andrew Kaczynski has dug up yet another buried video, a 1998 John Birch Society documentary starring none other than Ron Paul -- a classic example of far right paranoia and conspiracy theorizing, as Dr. Paul calmly explains that the United Nations is plotting to take over America, create a New ...

Gingrich Approves of South Carolina's Decision To Fly Confederate Flag At Capital

Sat, Dec 24, 2011 at 11:23 am PST

It's no longer surprising to hear Republican candidates like Newt Gingrich openly endorsing a "state's right" to fly the Confederate flag -- the symbol of slavery, sedition, and a war that nearly destroyed the United States. And in the same breath, Gingrich says he's "unalterably opposed to slavery." Well, isn't that ...

Ron Paul Was Scheduled to Appear on a White Supremacist Radio Show in 2006

Fri, Dec 23, 2011 at 3:44 pm PST

The New Republic has made available a collection of Ron Paul's ugliest newsletters, and if you haven't seen how bad this stuff is yet, you may be shocked. I think it's amazing and sad that this hasn't been a political problem for Ron Paul before now. The content of these newsletters ...

GOP Candidates Endorse Granting Legal Rights to Embryos

Thu, Dec 22, 2011 at 1:09 pm PST

The religious right's misogynistic "Personhood" bill may have been defeated by voters in Mississippi (one of the most conservative states in the nation), but that hasn't stopped GOP presidential candidates Michele Bachmann, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum, and Rick Perry from co-signing a pledge to support the ultimate anti-choice ideology.

Wed, Dec 21, 2011 at 12:39 pm PST

This one's a real jaw-dropper, as Republicans just walk out of the House without voting on the payroll tax cut extension ... and then cut off the C-SPAN cameras. Unbelievable.

In the ever-changing GOP clown car of far right candidates, the leader in Iowa polling is now Crazy Uncle Ron Paul. Newt Gingrich's campaign is rapidly imploding, and Ron Paul has now taken the lead in Iowa.  He's at 23% to 20% for Mitt Romney, 14% for Gingrich, 10% each ...

Pink Bibles Recalled Because of Abortion Cooties

Thu, Dec 15, 2011 at 12:42 pm PST

The Southern Baptist Convention has stopped making a special pink Bible they sold to help support breast cancer screenings, and is recalling all the remaining copies, because they're contaminated by proximity to the demonic Planned Parenthood.

GOP Debate Audience Cheers Child Labor

Sun, Dec 11, 2011 at 10:37 am PST

In previous GOP debates, the audience booed a gay soldier, cheered Rick Perry for setting a record in executions, and applauded letting people without health insurance die.

Rick Perry: We Need a Constitutional Amendment to Allow Prayer in Schools

Sun, Dec 11, 2011 at 9:43 am PST

Rick Perry told Fox News's Chris Wallace this morning that if he's elected President, one of his priorities will be a constitutional amendment "allowing our children to pray in school." What a pile of disingenuous rubbish. It's utterly false that children are banned from praying in public schools; nobody stops children ...

Fri, Dec 9, 2011 at 12:26 pm PST

At RJC Forum, Gingrich Says He'll Appoint John Bolton As Secretary of State

Wed, Dec 7, 2011 at 1:41 pm PST

Speaking today at the Republican Jewish Coalition's Presidential Candidates Forum, Newt Gingrich announced that for Secretary of State, his pick would be John Bolton.

Tue, Dec 6, 2011 at 7:35 pm PST

According to Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry, Americans shouldn't care about human rights for gays. Texas Gov.
