Daily Kos: Glenn Beck Is TOO CRAZY For Little Green Footballs.
Neocons are more intelligent than most conservatives but much more evil.

Thanks in part to the kooks on both the right and the left who are promoting anti-vaccination insanity (people like Jenny McCarthy and publications like World Net Daily), diseases long thought eradicated are making a big comeback in London. London is suffering a startling rise in diseases associated with Victorian ...
I still don’t have a working cable TV connection in my new top-secret underground facility, so I missed Glenn Beck’s show today (I wouldn’t have been watching anyway, to be honest), but I understand from several lizardoid reports that Beck had some things to say about me. Apparently he claimed that ...

Currently being advertised on both the Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck radio shows: The Obama Deception, an Alex Jones film that rehashes every insane conspiracy theory about Barack Obama. The Ron Paul kooks are excited about their increasing legitimization.

I’ll take a wild guess and predict that this article at The Daily Beast by Benjamin Sarlin will bring me at least half a dozen hate mails (and just as many emails of support): Right-Wing Becklash. In an interview, Johnson told The Daily Beast that he was extremely concerned by ...

Proving once again that there’s nobody crazier on the Internet, a Paulian at The Daily Paul froths like a rabid dog about little old me. OMG! You really On April 13th, 2009 BigT says: didn’t look under that rock over at “Little Green Footballs”, did ya!? That is the vilest zionist neocon globalist/statist ...
Some more good clean harmless fun from jolly Glenn Beck, who switches from inept comedy to screaming craziness in the blink of an eye. [Video] (Hat tip: Allahpundit.)
At a “Project 912 Glenn Beck Tea Party,” an unnamed speaker rants about “infiltration by the Communist Party” (a John Birch Society talking point), says that digital cable boxes are “brainwashing machines” planted in our homes by the government, and swears to stop paying taxes. The rant begins at about ...
Hey, I have a great idea! Why don’t we all just walk up to a brick wall and smash our heads into it over and over and over? I know; it sounds painful. But look on the bright side! It will feel so good when we pass out. Hawaii lawmakers ...

Hatebloggers Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer have really hit bottom now. What can I even say about this? It’s just sad, and utterly pathetic. Complete with upper case misspelling, unnoticed for more than a day: Atlas Shrugs: NEO NAZIS LINK UP WITH CHARLES JOHNSON, LITTLE GREEN FOOTBALLS SMEARS BECK, THE GOP ...

David Frum asks “What is going on at Fox News?” The whole column makes good points (and Beck has already savaged Frum for it, of course), but let’s focus on one section: The audience for Beck’s Friday night special were each given copies of two books. One of them was Cleon ...

Michael A. Cohen has a piece in Politico today about the over-the-top irresponsible extremism and conspiracy theories promulgated by weeping Glenn Beck: Extremist rhetoric won’t rebuild GOP. Watching Fox News’ new sensation Glenn Beck is not for the faint of heart. It is a disquieting entree into the feverish mind ...
The anti-vaccine kooks are getting another boost of free publicity tonight on the Larry King show, featuring Jenny McCarthy—who is just fine with the return of polio if it helps her sell some more books. Disgusting, and irresponsible beyond belief. Shame on CNN and Larry King for promoting this destructive, ...

It’s time for the James Randi Foundation’s “Pigasus” awards for 2008, and lo and behold — some of our favorite kooks and cranks are “honored,” including anti-vaccination airhead Jenny McCarthy and Ben Stein’s horrible creationist propaganda film “Expelled.” [Video]

Dr. Paul Offit, MD, author of the excellent book Autism’s False Prophets: Bad Science, Risky Medicine, and the Search for a Cure, is interviewed on the Brain Science Podcast, debunking the hysteria being spread about vaccines. [Audio] (Hat tip: Paolo.)
Tonight’s angry, belligerent email is regarding our recent posts about the anti-vaccination insanity being promoted by the likes of Jenny McCarthy, from a reader in New York, titled “a love note of sorts.” But there’s really not much love in this one. Before you crap on people for being suspicious of ...

Anti-vaccination kook Jenny McCarthy is interviewed today in TIME Magazine, and the former Playboy model/MTV airhead says if polio returns in a new pandemic because of anti-vaccination propaganda, she’s just fine with that. Your collaborator recommends that parents accept only the haemophilus influenzae type B (HIB) and tetanus vaccine for ...

Finally, some responsible writing from a conservative source on the ridiculous and mind-bendingly stupid “birth certificate” conspiracy theory: Barack Obama: Born in Hawaii. It is time for folks to stop being played by the Obama campaign and drop this counter productive ‘phony birth certificate’ nonsense. But they won’t, of course. (Hat ...
Anti-vaccination fever caused an LGF reader in Irvine, California to email the following mash note, titled “how much we think we know:” Charles, How do you know there’s no connection between vaccines and autism?? AS far as I know there’s no “official” link between eating deep colored vegetables and getting ...

If you had any doubt that bad craziness is on the rise in America, here’s an LA Times report on the increasing number of California parents who refuse to let their children be vaccinated, because of pseudo-scientific fear-mongering by fringe groups. A rising number of California parents are choosing to ...

Several people have emailed this article to me today, and it’s been posted in our spinoff links twice already: Rise of sea levels is ‘the greatest lie ever told’. The Telegraph’s Christopher Booker cites a Swedish “physicist,” Nils-Axel Mörner, who claims that every scientist and climate expert in the world is ...
