TagsTagsHere's a classic example of the bizarre reality-denying cognitive dissonance of right wing climate change deniers. In the Minnesota State Senate, one of the loudest voices against accepting the scientific reality of climate change is Michael Jungbauer, who's known for making grand pronouncements about "not being convinced" by the science, and ...

Pew Research has a new survey out today that shows a precipitous drop in the number of Republicans who support "global engagement:" In Shift from Bush Era, More Conservatives Say 'Come Home, America'. In the Pew Research Center's political typology survey, released May 4, majorities in every partisan group -- ...
Today, California Republican Craig Huey denounced the crude racist and sexist advertisement produced by wingnut loon Ladd Ehrlinger, Jr., but his opponent in the special election, Janice Hahn, is calling for an investigation into whether Ehrlinger coordinated illegally with the Huey campaign. Hahn's campaign noted that the video was produced ...
I agree with Al Gore, and congratulate Mitt Romney on his refusal to be an ignorant jackass (like every other Republican candidate) on the vitally important issue of climate change: Al's Journal : Good for Mitt Romney -- though we've long passed the point where weak lip-service is enough on ...

It's been frustrating to watch the media suddenly falling all over themselves to proclaim Michele Bachmann (R-Mars) a "serious candidate," because I've been keeping track of her sheer lunacy for years, and Bachmann is so extreme she makes even Rick Santorum look sane. Michelle Goldberg has a very good piece in ...

If you think you've already seen the worst Tea Party racism, you're sadly mistaken. Because a group called Turn Right USA has released an attack ad directed at Democrat Janice Hahn, intended to help Republicans in the upcoming special election in California. It's a mind-blower. This freakishly awful web video was ...
Here's another moment from last night's debate that actually made me laugh out loud; Mitt Romney refusing to back down from his absurd claim that the hugely successful auto industry bailout program was a "failure." Video There's no failed idea so ridiculous that Republicans won't try it again. In 2008, Romney penned ...

It's become both an article of faith and a litmus test for conservatives to claim that global warming is a "hoax," presumably staged by evil scientists bent on world domination. This incredibly dangerous ostrich-like thinking is nearly universal on the right wing and in the Republican Party, and yesterday we ...

Today at UCLA, a group of high profile climate change deniers are featured at a conference titled: "Big Footprint: Is Green the New Tyranny?" By itself this is nothing special; climate "skeptics" are always having these echo chamber conferences, to keep the deluded masses fully stocked up with hooey. But this ...

Eric Bolling, the Fox Business host who often has genocide denier and anti-Muslim bigot Pamela Geller on his show, crossed a bright red line today into open racism. Media Matters was watching this nauseating display: Fox's Eric Bolling: Obama Is Hosting 'Hoodlums' In 'The Hizzouse'. Video Pure racist hatred: they're not even ...

Here's Mitt Romney pathetically evading questions about gay marriage, then answering the question, "Do you personally think homosexuality is a sin?" with, "Nice try."
The new anti-immigration law just signed by Alabama's Republican governor Robert Bentley explicitly violates the Bill of Rights's provisions against unreasonable search and seizure, by requiring police to arrest anyone they suspect of being in the country illegally if they can't produce documentation -- when stopped for any reason: Alabama ...
Last night, Rachel Maddow had an extraordinary segment about the reaction of the Republican Party's leaders to the Anthony Weiner scandal; Michael Steele is exposed as the hackiest of partisan hacks. Video UPDATE at 6/8/11 12:22:39 pm And for some more context, here's diaper fetishist and prostitution client David Vitter at the Southern ...

The hate mail box has been really bulging for the past couple days! I just did a quick count, and it looks like more than 30 messages full of badly spelled insults, homophobic rants, and sheer vitriol. Rather than post any of these messages in their entirety (none of them are ...

In Australia, climate scientists are being targeted with a rabid hate mail campaign and death threats. The Australian National University has confirmed it moved several high-profile climate scientists, economists and policy researchers into more secure buildings, following explicit threats to their personal safety. Scientists at universities in NSW and Queensland have ...

"Muslims killed themselves in Yugoslavia" Remember when Muslim-hating demagogue Robert Spencer wrote a totally dishonest piece for the Guardian to run interference for his crony Pamela Geller, claiming (among numerous other lies and evasions) that she doesn't support murderous war criminals like Slobodan Milosevic and Radovan Karadzic? Today, Pamela Geller crossed ...

A fatuous post by the anonymous blogger "Allahpundit" full of debunked right wing tropes (Climategate? he must be kidding) leads to a deluge of stunningly ignorant, hateful comments directed toward Mitt Romney for stating that he accepts the science of climate change: Romney: Sure, I believe in man-made global warming ...

What a shame. After all that pandering to the far right by fear mongering about the "end of the free market economy" and "Obama's apology tour," Mitt Romney has to ruin it all by believing in science. His run for President as a Republican is now officially over: The world is ...

For the second day in a row Mitt Romney's pants are ablaze, as he parrots one of the very stupidest claims of the lunatic right: Mitt Romney says Barack Obama 'traveled around the globe to apologize for America” - Pants on Fire! On the substance of Romney’s charge, we believe ...
Mitt Romney's ludicrous statement that the US is "only inches away from ceasing to be a free market economy" has garnered the coveted "Pants on Fire" rating from PolitiFact. How is Romney supposed to get his fear mongering on when people keep fact-checking him? (Not that facts will have any impact ...
The ridiculous right wing quote of the day comes from Mitt Romney, who obviously realizes he's going to have to start ranting about doom and destruction if he wants to get the Tea Party on his side. "We are only inches away from ceasing to be a free market economy." ...
Super-patriot Michele Bachmann tweeted today that she'll vote to put the United States in danger of defaulting on its debt. The President wants to raise the debt ceiling. I’ll be a “no” vote when the House votes tonight. Related: God tells Bachmann: Run for POTUS

The new, freakishly bad Birther book by World Nut Daily's Jerome Corsi has debuted at number six on the New York Times' Best Sellers list. But note the little dagger symbol.
