TagsTagsI 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 ...

CPAC is just an unbelievable freak show this year. Here's Andrew Breitbart screaming at Occupy protesters to "behave" and "stop raping people."

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 ...

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 ...

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. I am deeply disappointed by the gross mischaracterizations of the strategy, its rationale, and my involvement ...

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 ...

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 ...

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. Rick Santorum, as one of the most fanatical and deranged representatives of this cult, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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. In a ...

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. Speaker Cuts Off C-SPAN Cameras When Dems Attempt To Bring Vote On Payroll Tax Cut. Even the Rupert Murdoch-owned Wall Street ...
How can you tell which GOP candidate is the most fanatical fundamentalist, in a pack of fanatical fundamentalists?

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 ...

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.

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 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."

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. Yes, that would be the same John Bolton who wrote the foreword for the deranged anti-Obama book by hatebloggers Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer, The Post-American Presidency: ...
According to Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry, Americans shouldn't care about human rights for gays. Texas Gov. Rick Perry said today that using foreign aid to combat human rights abuses against homosexuals in foreign countries is “not in America’s interests” and attacked President Obama’s decision to require U.S. agencies operating ...
