• Exhibit A: Republican Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney with hate group leader Pamela Geller Mitt Romney and Pamela Geller About Pamela Geller: Pamela Geller is the anti-Muslim movement's most visible and flamboyant figurehead.

The latest wingnut outrageous outrage revolves around President Obama's use of the phrase "bumps in the road," while speaking about the road to democracy and peace in the Middle East and the Arab Spring during an interview on 60 Minutes last night. "I think it was absolutely the right thing ...

Today's wingnut outrageous outrage of the day comes to you by way of the ever-confused Todd Starnes of Fox News. It involves the exclusion of the word "God" in "Presidential Proclamation -- Patriot Day and National Day of Service and Remembrance, 2012." This was followed up by an even more ...

[Link: cassandrafiles.com...] Back in May, Ric Grenell was frozen out of his position on the Romney foreign policy team for the crime of simply being openly gay. So it will be interesting to watch what happens to the campaign's Social Media Director, Bill Murphy.

Javascript via Shutterstock The dirty secret of these tech posts is that I often write them for myself, because they help me organize my thoughts; sometimes the process of making it simple enough and abstract enough to post about on LGF even suggests improvements to programming techniques. And believe it or not ...

Today we learn that Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is apparently buying Twitter followers to inflate his popularity in social media. The graph from 140Elect.com looks like a hockey stick: For comparison, a graph of Barack Obama's new followers in the same time period (via Twitter Counter) shows steady growth with ...

Remember how, just a few weeks ago, the National Review was forced to fire not one, but two overt white nationalists from their staff?

We haven't had one of these posts in a while, not because the hate mail has dried up, but because it's usually so unimaginative and dull. But here's one that pretty much lays bare the deranged bigotry of the anti-Muslim crowd, in a few quick sentences dripping with vitriol. Tonight's bigot ...

The big news today is the announcement that the Obama administration plans to stop deporting many young illegal immigrants, basically implementing the DREAM Act by executive order. As we've noted previously, Mitt Romney's immigration policy is being set by one of the most extreme right wing anti-immigrant ideologues in America, ...

Here's one for the annals of hate group leader Pamela Geller's Infamous Apparently Inebriated Posts; a reader emailed this morning to let me know that the following amazingly incoherent rant had appeared at her website. I grabbed a screenshot of Google's cached copy before it goes away (the post has ...

If you correlate Google searches for racial slurs with state-by-state voting records, what do you get? Barack Obama won 52.9 percent of the popular vote in 2008 and 365 electoral votes, 95 more than he needed. Many naturally concluded that prejudice was not a major factor against a black presidential ...

In about 25 minutes, Venus will pass in front of the Sun (from the perspective of us humans here on Earth), in a rare occurrence called a "transit of Venus." There won't be another event like this for 105 years. Here's a Google+ chat video from Universe Today, that will ...

Right-wing bloggers (Michelle Malkin, Adam Baldwin, Katie Pavlich) have been hyping a story lately of a 16-year old conservative girl who was purportedly subjected to "vulgar comments from progressives" after recording a youtube video arguing in favor of the North Carolina amendment outlawing gay marriage. The girl is now ...

It's been an awesome week of right wing failitude; the Ricketts/Rev. Wright Debacle, followed by the Breitbart Birther Bogosity, followed by National Review's Massive Elizabeth Warren Plagiarism Fail-a-Ganza: The National Review's Fake Plagiarism Scoop. The National Review says Elizabeth Warren is guilty of the gravest crime a writer can commit: ...

A few days ago an interesting document showed up in my mailbox. It was the Official 2012 Republican Presidential Platform survey package.

I'm being analyzed quite dispassionately from afar, with the cold eye of science, in an article at Wired on using data from the Memeorandum automated aggregator: Memeorandum Colors 2012: Visualizing Bias on Political Blogs. Along with this release, we now have four years of historical activity to work with. The ...

What the hell is going on at Fox 35, the Fox News affiliate in Orlando, Florida? Do you mean to tell me that nobody in the editorial chain for this story realized that they were not covering a "civil rights group" ... but the National Socialist Movement, a neo-Nazi organization that ...

It's pretty revealing to see how Breitbart.com's editor-in-chief Joel Pollak reacts when the absolutely blatant racism and paranoia of his commenters is exposed. This isn't a surprise to him, of course -- Breitbart.com's articles are specifically targeted at inciting this type of racism and whiny right wing victimhood, and the ...

DERPBreitbart.com blogger Dan Riehl seems to be having uncontrollable hate spasms today, tossing off racist posts one after another. Now he's trumpeting a photo he found at Facebook (hat tip: "a reader") under the name "Trayvon Martin," seemingly unable or unwilling to realize that it's not the same person as ...

I always love it when the first thing I see on Twitter in the morning is a gaggle of wingnuts, all retweeting gleefully that I've been "beclowned." Apparently Breitbart.com "editor" Larry O'Connor has a devastating reply to my post pointing out that they've broken every single existing link to their ...

Tea Party loon “Brooks Bayne” was one of the subjects of this post earlier today: Right Wing Blogs Still Stalking and Spewing Hatred at Sandra Fluke.

Channeling the spirit of Andrew Breitbart, Jim Hoft, the redoubtable Gateway Pundit, is hyperventilating and shrieking "Stop the raping!" He must have a Google News alert set up for "Occupy AND rape." Note that whenever Hoft slams the Occupy movement, he robotically inserts the phrase "Obama-endorsed." Another Day... Another Rape at an ...
