The Anti-Defamation League has released a detailed report on the increasing anger and hostility among the right wing, singling out many of the same personalities and issues on which LGF has been focusing recently. This is the index page with summaries of the main points: Rage Grows in America: Anti-Government ...

The crossover between Fox News and the farthest reaches of the kookosphere proceeds at an accelerating pace, as frequent Glenn Beck guest host and Fox contributor Judge Andrew Napolitano has an extended chat with conspiracy monger Alex Jones about their mutual enemy, the US government: YouTube - Judge Andrew Napolitano ...

Birther queen bee Orly Taitz has been pursuing a lawsuit in California’s Central District, demanding proof of President Obama’s citizenship. Today the judge dismissed the suit — and had pretty scathing words for Taitz: Orly Taitz Smacked Down: Birther Lawsuit Dismissed. Here’s the document, which Scribd allows me to embed ...

The chairman of the House Republican Conference, Mike Pence, speaks out in favor of the race-baiting of Rush Limbaugh and the black helicopter bad craziness of Glenn Beck: Mike Pence: Limbaugh, Beck speak for many Americans. A picture of a political party gone completely off the rails. The GOP 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 ...

The queen bee of the Birther “movement” (no, not the shrieking harpy, although the name applies pretty well in this case too) has been hit with a $20,000 fine for her idiotic frivolous lawsuits. In an order today, California attorney Orly Taitz has been sanctioned $20,000 by U.S. District ...

Today’s headache-inducing episode of wingnut density is the revival of the rotting corpse of the “Bill Ayers wrote Obama’s books” conspiracy theory, after this blogger encountered Ayers at an airport and had a short, belligerent conversation with him — in which Ayers told her, “I wrote Dreams From My Father.” ...

Unbelievable. Now the Christian far right is heavily promoting the mind-bogglingly dim Birther conspiracy theory, with an IQ-destroying infomercial produced by Live Prayer (the site has a picture of President Obama with the caption “God’s Enemy”) and Gary Kreep (yes, really!) of the United States Justice Foundation. For a mere ...

As we noted yesterday, Birther queen bee Orly Taitz’s latest idiotic lawsuit has been thrown out of court — and the judge put her on notice that she’d face sanctions if she continued filing these mindless Birther suits. Now she’s comparing herself to Nelson Mandela, and wants the judge who ...

Another Birther case has been thrown out of court, this one brought by a female Army captain trying to refuse redeployment to Iraq because she believes Barack Obama is a sekrit Moslem furriner. And her lawyer, the whacked out queen of the Nirthers, Orly Taitz, has been warned that she ...

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 ...

Remember this video, showing Republican politicians who’ve signed on to the Birther madness? [Video] Guess who appears at about 30 seconds in, saying he believes “there are questions” about Barack Obama’s citizenship? Rep. Charles Boustany, who delivered the GOP response to President Obama’s health care speech. (Hat tip: Gus 802.) ...

At the Cincinnati Labor Day tea party demonstration, an unhinged Birther approached Rep. Jean Schmidt (R-Ohio) and demanded to know why Schmidt wasn’t calling for an investigation into Barack Obama’s citizenship. Schmidt’s reply: “I agree with you, but the courts don’t.” [Video] Bad craziness, being stoked by Republican leaders. ...

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 ...

In a video we posted last month, Rep. Trent Franks (R-Arizona) was the only Republican politician who went on record with an unequivocal denunciation of the mindless “Birther” movement. Well, looks like Franks may now be joining the kookspiracy. The other main issue dealt with numerous speakers questioning Obama’s ...

Just when you think the weirdness might be slowing down a little, Fox News cites one of the most whacked out ravers at Alex Jones’ infowars.com, a far left nutjob with a history of antisemitic writings and conspiracy theories, as a reputable authority on swine flu. Foreign governments, too, ...

One of the craziest bloggers on the web, Pamela Geller, who once wrote — in all seriousness — that Barack Obama was the love child of Malcolm X, has another Nirth Certifikit article published by right-wing site Newsmax: Newsmax.com - Obama Birth Certificate Issue Causing Needless Distractions. There’s no ...

That “Kenyan birth certificate” promoted by World Net Daily, Orly Taitz, Free Republic, and quite a few bloggers turns out to have been a deliberate prank on the Nirthers. They were well and truly punk’d. The first words I wrote immediately after seeing the latest incarnation of the Nirth ...

Pew Research’s latest News Interest Index survey shows that a majority of Republicans would like to see more media coverage of the Nirth Certifikit theory. Probably because it’s making Republicans look so good.

Public Policy Polling has released a new survey of Virginians (PDF), showing that Barack Obama’s approval rating is dropping — but also that Virginia Republicans are overwhelmingly in thrall to the Birther madness. A majority of Virginians who voted for McCain (36%) said they don’t believe Barack Obama was born ...

Looks like David Weigel has unearthed the probable source image for the forged Kenyan birth certificate — a “registration of birth” from Australia with striking similarities to Orly Taitz’s document.

Uh oh. A new poll from a reputable firm with more evidence that Nirtherism is not just a fringe phenomenon in the GOP: Just 32% of Virginia Republicans Think Obama is a Citizen. Here’s an advance look at a new Public Policy Polling survey in Virginia completed over the ...
