In Which CNN Contributor Dana Loesch Falsely Accuses Me of Using a Racial Slur

Mon, Apr 23, 2012 at 1:35 pm PDT

Here's a tale of a wingnut gotcha gone horribly wrong. One of the people I block on Twitter because his tweets are a never-ending cascade of derp is Blue Collar Todd, a far right religious fanatic who specializes in the "I'm rubber, you're glue" style of right-wing blogging, accusing left ...

Romney: Poor Mothers Should Be Required to Work Outside the Home

Sun, Apr 15, 2012 at 9:27 am PDT

Breitbart Blogger Ben Shapiro Calls Rep. Wasserman Schultz a 'Bag O' Scum'

Tue, Apr 3, 2012 at 12:43 pm PDT

Another day, another ridiculous fake outrage from the clowns at Breitbart.com, as they dig up a six-year old photo to scream about: Obama's 'Jewbag' Liaison to the Jewish Community.

Rachel Maddow on Yet Another Right Wing Fake Outrage

Sat, Mar 17, 2012 at 10:33 am PDT

Video Would you believe that when I helped launch Pajamas Media, one of the goals was to create a site that would transcend left-right politics, promote environmentalism and science, and allow free discussion of ideas without ideological blinders? I know, it's almost impossible to believe, if you look at the pure right ...

Wingnut Week in Review: Breitbart.com's Epic Fail

Fri, Mar 9, 2012 at 2:07 pm PST

When Andrew Breitbart passed away, the editors and bloggers who made his "Big" sites what they are today swore a blood oath to carry on his legacy of devastating BOMBSHELL stings, and their inept fumbling attempts to do so have produced a classic week of wingnut comedy. Feeding the Media When he ...

Stephen Colbert: Malice in Blunderland

Wed, Jan 11, 2012 at 6:01 pm PST

So many fake outrages, so little time. I just realized I hadn't yet covered the phony story that came out this week about the Obamas' Halloween party for children of military families. The main reason why I didn't write about this one is that I honestly can't even figure out why ...

Tue, Dec 6, 2011 at 12:10 pm PST

Climategate Hackers Slither Again

Sat, Nov 26, 2011 at 6:28 pm PST

This one goes out to the right wingers who've emailed demanding to know when I'm going to cover the Son of Climategate pseudo-scandal, in which still-unknown entities have released another, larger selection of emails from their original theft in November 2009. The short version: pathetically bogus. But after seven independent investigations have ...
