TagsTagsIn Washington yesterday, Tea Party Founding Fathers chairman William Temple put on his ridiculous George Washington costume, complete with tricorne hat and pantaloons, and announced that he's 100% opposed to raising the debt ceiling and he'll punish any House Republicans who vote for it. Unless, that is, they do something even ...

The Republican Party is preparing to bow before the true power in the conservative movement: the religious right. Next month, the Faith and Freedom Conference and Strategy Briefing hosted by the long-discredited Ralph Reed will feature many of the GOP's probable candidates, pandering like crazy to the creationists and fanatics. And ...

One problem with living on the west coast is that an east coast wingnut nontroversy has time to start spreading on Twitter, get picked up by dozens of right wing blogs, and be exposed as a ridiculous fraudulent non-story before I even wake up. The life cycles of these outrageous outrages ...

At FrumForum, Noah Kristula-Green and Tim Mak ask the poignant question: Why is Pawlenty On Stage With These Crazy People? Their premise is that Tim Pawlenty is the only really electable candidate out of the extremist loons who participated in last night's GOP debate. Which is just ludicrous, of course, because Pawlenty's ...

A New York Daily News anti-Obama article is spreading rapidly across the right wing blog echo chamber: Bush feels Obama ignoring ex-president's role in Osama Bin Laden strike for 'victory lap': source.

I've taken a look around the right wing blogs this morning, and they seem to be approaching some kind of Singularity of Bad Craziness, spewing completely out of control. President Obama's successful operation against Osama bin Laden has driven them even more insane. And Fox News is leading the way ...

Bryan Fischer of the American Family Association is the unrestrained id of today's religious right wing. He has no hesitation about blurting out the things that most wingnuts believe, but would never say in public. For example, yesterday on Fischer's radio show: Muslims Should Either Convert To Christianity…Or Die. The only ...

A new front has opened up in the right wing's deranged vendetta against Planned Parenthood. Republicans in Oklahoma are now taking food out of the mouths of babies.

Donald Trump continues to go full-bore whacko; now he's suggesting that Barack Obama was only admitted to Harvard because of affirmative action. And he goes further, hinting that Obama has a shady past and that nobody actually knew him. He's a mysterious "other," with a phony paper trail and nefarious ...

The completely fake "Obama Hates Easter" wingnut meme is really starting to catch on!

Yesterday we pointed out that despite the right wing's hysterical ranting that President Obama had dealt Christians a grievous insult by not issuing an "Easter proclamation," the fact is that neither Ronald Reagan nor George W. Bush (or any other President since 1980, the farthest back I checked) ever issued ...

There's yet another right wing fake outrage brewing, and again it's about painting President Obama as a Muslim-loving "other" who hates good American Christians.
