Loony demagogue Glenn Beck went on a tear today, ranting about all the mean things people have said about him, and I enjoyed hearing him say this quote from yours truly so much I had to save the clip to YouTube. Repeated thrice for three times the wonderfulness. Come on! ...

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.)

Glenn Beck is in trouble again, this time for his blatant shilling for the gold merchants who capitalize on misery and discontent. The weeping, ranting Beck is fleecing his flock, preaching extreme right wing apocalyptic idiocy and getting rich off the gullible: Glenn Beck’s gold-gate problem. Yet another controversy ...

In their new report on the rise of extremism in the US, the Anti-Defamation League singled out Glenn Beck as “most important mainstream media figure who has repeatedly helped to stoke the fires of anti-government anger.” Obviously, Beck didn’t like this very much. So he responded yesterday on his radio ...

Wow. Glenn Beck shows his dedication to national defense by advising soldiers not to re-enlist — because he “can’t guarantee” that the Obama government won’t paint them as “baby-killers.” Absolutely unbelievable. [Video]

If you want to know if someone’s blowing a dog whistle, ask the dogs. Beck insists his critics are imagining things, that he does not engage in racial fear-mongering, that a string of guests with ties to hate groups do not form a meaningful pattern, and that he’s not ...

At Huffington Post, TV talk show host Bill Maher has a very lengthy article trying to explain his anti-vaccination opinions, but it’s more obfuscation than explanation: Bill Maher: Vaccination: A Conversation Worth Having. It’s pretty long-winded and a bit whiny, and amounts to a restatement of Maher’s previous positions, which ...

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 ...

Bill Maher utterly embarrasses himself in this clip from his “Real Time” show, with ignorant comments about vaccination (yes, Maher is an anti-vaxer) you have to hear to believe. According to Maher, vaccination is not proven to work scientifically. (Do I need to point out how completely false this is?) ...

Glenn Beck waxes nostalgic for those long-lost days of yesteryear, when people sat around listening to cheesy Paul Anka songs and watching Coke commercials, and breaks down weeping. [Video] The hero of the right wing: a guy who breaks down in tears when he hears a Paul Anka song.

A town hall meeting with Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) turned into an angry confrontation with raging Paulians, in which Graham said (as the audience hooted and shouted at him), “We’re not going to be the party of angry white guys.” Might be too late for that, Sen. Graham. [Video] ...
