TagsTagsHere’s the feed from the National Tea Party Convention in Nashville, with ex-governor Sarah Palin scheduled to take center stage in about 15 minutes. Right now there’s a blindingly dull panel discussion on “The Future of Tea Parties.”

There are reports that the Tea Party Convention organizers are planning a press conference today to denounce Birtherism, after Joseph Farah’s speech last night. It seems a little late to start worrying about it, the day after the keynote speaker unleashed a full-on paranoid Birther rant to a cheering audience and ...

Joseph Farah of World Net Daily gives us a preview of his speech to the First National Tea Party Convention: What I’ll say today at 1st Tea Party Convention. Here’s a sneak peak at what I will be talking about in my keynote address to the first National Tea Party ...

Imagine my surprise that linking to a piece about a disturbing Daily Kos/Research 2000 poll of Republicans prompted several hyper-emotional meltdowns in our comments, and three hate mails so far today. Apart from the insult-spewers, though, many readers wanted to know exactly which questions were asked, and where the samples came ...

A new poll conducted among 2,000 self-identified Republicans by Daily Kos and Research 2000 shows that the Republican base is possibly even crazier than I previously thought: Poll: Republicans Think Obama Is A Socialist, And Palin More Qualified To Be President. [Item List] Oh brother.

Finally! A group of right wingers is calling for a telephone campaign against Glenn Beck! I’ve been waiting for this to happen … Oh, wait. They’re angry at Beck for not pushing the birth certificate issue. I should have known. Never mind. (Hat tip: Mich-again.)

Nothing funnier than a joke about Obama’s birth certificate — on the front page of the North Dakota Republican Party website. (It’s been removed now.) (Hat tip: Ben Smith.) UPDATE at 12/14/09 6:52:12 pm: The Birther image is still posted on this page.
For the first of today’s facepalm-inducing audio clips, we have Sean Hannity going Birther, claiming that wacko wingnut site World Net Daily is just doing “due diligence” by obsessing over Barack Obama’s birth certificate, and saying “Given his father’s birthplace, what’s wrong with asking if Obama has a legitimate birth ...

Sarah Palin’s extreme religious beliefs are on display in this video released by the Billy Graham organization, in which she repeats the long-debunked fundamentalist canard that the founding fathers “dedicated the country to God,” and calls for America to be ruled by “godly” leaders. And of course, she’s not talking about ...

Watch in awe as racist antisemite “conservative” Pat “Hitler Wasn’t So Bad” Buchanan (who, once upon a time, was marginalized on the right, but has now come raging back into the mainstream with all of his hatred and creepiness intact) defends Sarah Palin’s pandering to the mindless Birther “movement,” even ...

Oopsie! Sarah Palin’s trying to distance herself from her Birther-pandering remarks now, like any weasely politician does when called on an outrageous remark: Sarah Palin: Stupid Conspiracies | Facebook. Voters have every right to ask candidates for information if they so choose. I’ve pointed out that it was seemingly fair game ...

The circle of stupid is now unbroken, as Sarah Palin announces on right wing talker Rusty Humphries’s show that she thinks it’s “fair” to question Barack Obama’s citizenship: Palin: Obama birth certificate ‘a fair question’. Yes, that’s right. Sarah Palin is blowing the Birther dog whistle. You’ll never see a better ...

The racism at the Washington Times (former employer of white supremacist blogger Robert Stacy McCain) is bubbling to the surface for all to smell, like noxious sewer gas. Today they ran the following advertisement, a lunatic Birther ad featuring images of monkeys. This isn’t even “dog whistle” racism. It’s right ...

Time for tonight’s edition of the most extreme, hateful comments posted at the Hot Air blog owned by Michelle Malkin and run by Ed Morrissey and “Allahpundit.” We’ll start off with a few comments from a thread about calls to impeach President Obama. Ed Morrissey seems to believe this is ...

He’s a Birther, he promotes insane conspiracy theories at World Net Daily, he appears frequently on Alex Jones’s whacked out radio show, he’s appeared more than once on the white supremacist radio show Political Cesspool — and last night he got two whole segments on Fox News’s Sean Hannity show ...

Looks like I’ve replaced Andrew Sullivan as the most hated blogger, which is quite an accomplishment. I’d like to thank the wonderful folks who voted me the sixth most despised “right wing” figure, equally as repulsive as Pat “Hitler wasn’t so bad” Buchanan, and much more disgusting than Ron Paul, ...

Here’s Tea Party Express leader Mark Williams on the Anderson Cooper show, denying there are any extremists at the tea parties, they’re just a tiny minority of fringe elements, no racists, only a few Obama-with-a-bone-through-his-nose pictures, everything’s just fine. And then Anderson quotes what Mark Williams wrote on his own blog. [Video] ...

A few more photos from the Washington DC tea party demonstration, starting with one of the most repulsive posters I think I’ve ever seen. “Stop him now before it’s to [sic] late! It’s not about Obamacare it’s about power! When we smell the burning flesh from the ovens it will be ...

At least five of the featured speakers at today’s tea party in Washington DC were connected to the Ron Paul cult. Here’s a display the Paulians set up, right in front of the Capitol building. Also present at the tea party — the insane Birther movement, with professionally printed signs from ...

The Nirthers at American Thinker call on me to authenticate the latest Nirth Certifikit they’ve dug up with help from Weird Nut Daily and Jerome Corsi: Obama’s ‘Long Form’ Shows Up. Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs did some admirable work on Dan Rather’s Memogate, primarily by duplicating Rather’s ...

I’ve been sounding off about the insanity peddled by World Net Daily for quite a while. They promote every wrong, crazy idea associated with the far right: creationism, birtherism, anti-vaccinationism, and much more. And some of their writers associate openly with white supremacists and racist groups. After reading an especially mindless ...
