TagsTagsI'm not surprised to see this; Fox News has now made the entire comment thread for their Whitney Houston article disappear: Singer Whitney Houston Dies at 48 | Fox News. It was probably easier to just trash the whole thing than try to moderate 5000 comments full of racial slurs. I'll ...

I don't even know what to say about this any more. There's a real sickness running rampant in the right wing; the Fox News comment thread on Whitney Houston's death is yet another disgusting deluge of outright racism: Singer Whitney Houston Dies at 48 | Fox News. There are almost 5000 ...

Hate group leader Pamela Geller is spewing insults at me again, for pointing out her disgusting exploitation of a murdered Muslim woman. As usual with right wing tirades, she attempts to reverse the reality and project her own illness onto me, accusing me of being "pro-jihad," of being a "misogynist ...

Anti-Muslim hate group leader Pamela Geller has seized on the murder of a 20-year old Muslim woman in Michigan, labeled it an "honor killing," and is now planning to hold a "conference" using the murdered woman's name -- against the wishes of the woman's family, and even though both the ...

The ideological bent of Komen Foundation public policy VP Karen Handel really becomes clear in this 2010 interview with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution on the topic of gay marriage and adoption, in which she says she favors outlawing gay adoptions: Handel Says Gay Parents Not as 'Legitimate' as Hetero Ones. Q: ...

Komen Foundation CEO Karen Brinker may have denied that their decision to stop funding Planned Parenthood had anything to do with politics, but the religious right activists who've been waging a campaign against Planned Parenthood certainly think otherwise -- and today they're freaking over the Komen Foundation's apparent reversal: Religious ...

Judging from the statement they released, Planned Parenthood seems to believe the Komen Foundation will restore their funding for breast cancer screening. But is the Komen Foundation just spinning some more? I just got off the phone with a Komen board member, and he confirmed that the announcement does not mean ...

Apparently, the people in charge of merchandising at the Susan G. Komen Foundation had a little talk with their anti-abortion executives, and today the Komen Foundation is reinstating their Planned Parenthood funding, and apologizing to Planned Parenthood and the American public. Planned Parenthood has released the following statement in response: “The ...

Today at the far right fever swamp known as Free Republic, somebody posted a link to our latest article about Ron Paul's connections to the white supremacist subculture, which led to an amusing and revealing sequence of comments. First, the wingnuts tried to argue that associating with neo-Nazis might not be ...

For some reason, it's supposed to mean something that Birther moron Donald Trump has decided to endorse Mitt Romney instead of Newt Gingrich.

A terrible precedent: apparently caving in to the right wing crusade against Planned Parenthood, the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation has decided to cut off funding to Planned Parenthood for breast cancer prevention. It's a concrete example of how the religious right's reactionary anti-choice agenda is hurting women ...

Jon Huntsman made it official this morning -- he's out of the race. Right wing bloggers are celebrating, because Huntsman is relatively sane compared to the rest of the field. For example, at rabid far right blog "Weasel Zippers" (a name he stole from our random sayings, by the way), ...
MIT climate scientist Kerry Emanuel was featured in a video interview posted recently at Grist.org, and this triggered a deluge of frenzied hate mail and threats against his family from right wing climate change deniers.

A new book about the President and his wife is being released this coming week, and that's all the right wing blogs need to launch a stunning barrage of hatred and overtly racist comments. Let's face it, they're now completely out in the open. You'll find blatantly racist comments at nearly ...

In previous GOP debates, the audience booed a gay soldier, cheered Rick Perry for setting a record in executions, and applauded letting people without health insurance die.
