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 ...

Following up on Glenn Beck’s latest attempt to warn the country, or to put it another way, Glenn Beck’s latest bugeyed freakout, here’s a little reminder that this diabolical commie plot to encourage volunteerism didn’t start with Barack Obama.

Wired’s Amy Wallace has an excellent piece on the rise of the idiotic and perilous anti-vaccine “movement:” An Epidemic of Fear: How Panicked Parents Skipping Shots Endangers Us All.

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] ...

I’m not sure where they get the idea that anyone is “terrified” of them (it’s actually more like “disgustedly amused”), but the Ron Paulbots at Daily Paul are on to us! Little Green Footballs comments section terrified of Paulites taking over new GOP website. You comment jogged my memeory. ...
Yes, he really did. In Beck’s latest insane rant, Obama’s Communications Director Anita Dunn plays Hitler, and other news organizations play the bystanders who let the Nazis get away with genocide. [Video]

Paranoia strikes deep into Glenn Beck’s heart, in an interview with the far right loons of Newsmax (who recently published an article advocating a military coup in the US): Glenn Beck: ‘God Help us all’. “I truly fear the groundwork — this is so far beyond Obama,” Beck says. ...

At the “How to Take Back America” conference last week, attended by Republican leaders including Mike Huckabee, Steve King, and Michele Bachmann, speakers railed against the “Marxist and/or Nazi dictatorship” of President Obama, and promoted a full raft of far right conspiracy theories.

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.

Looks like I’ve replaced Andrew Sullivan as the most hated blogger, which is quite an accomplishment.
