YouTube Video Here's American Family Association fundamentalist loon Bryan Fischer with energy industry shill Cal Beisner, congratulating Mitt Romney on his selection of Paul Ryan -- because Ryan's anti-science views on climate change and the environment are every bit as insane as theirs: Fischer and Beisner Praise Ryan's 'Biblical View of ...

If you've been watching this campaign so far, you'll remember that Mitt Romney spent considerable political capital trying to convince women he was on their side, despite the Republican Party's unceasing attacks on women's reproductive rights. It's emblematic of Romney's unfocused, self-contradicting campaign that he then picks a vice presidential candidate ...

YouTube Video Today, American Family Association spokesman Bryan Fischer clarified and expanded on those disturbing tweets he posted yesterday. And by "clarified," I mean he confirmed that he really does support the kidnapping of children in same-sex households: Fischer Says Ex-Gay Mom Had an Obligation to God to Kidnap Her Daughter and ...

In Iowa, the Republican Party has been trying for months to ban Medicaid funding for abortions in the case of rape or incest. Yes, the GOP wants to deny Medicaid assistance to those who arguably need it most -- low-income women who've been raped. They want to victimize these women all ...

If Mitt Romney is elected, what's going to happen on the increasingly alarming environmental front? Think "George W. Bush," but even more avaricious. DeSmogBlog's Farron Cousins takes a close look at the backgrounds and connections of Mitt Romney's Energy Advisors. In the last few months, the press has been drawing a ...

This is a good example of the difference between Democrats and Republicans, because a Republican would never say something like this about one of their own, knowing how it would be used by the opposition: Feinstein: Someone at White House Is Behind Recent Intel Leaks.

A group of scientific and engineering organizations is trying to get the presidential candidates to commit to a debate on science in America: Quest for Science Debate Continues. As CJR points out, in the last election both John McCain and Barack Obama gave fairly detailed written responses. I have no doubt ...

Republicans are really getting some mileage out of their blatantly dishonest characterization of President Obama's "you didn't build that" statement. Now Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown has released a web video that edits together different parts of Obama's speech -- just like Mitt Romney did -- to create a totally false ...

New information about the suspected Aurora killer, James Holmes, suggests that he may have been inspired by Norwegian anti-Muslim terrorist Anders Behring Breivik.

YouTube Video One of the big stories of this election is the absolutely blatant dishonesty of the Romney campaign. In these cynical days, everybody expects politicians to stretch, exaggerate, and slant their talking points to benefit themselves. But Mitt Romney is pioneering a relatively new type of presidential campaign distortion (much ...

Oh yeah, and also ... Michele Bachmann (R-Mars) came out of storage this week and launched a McCarthy-like crusade against a nonexistent Muslim Brotherhood infiltration of the upper echelons of the US government, targeting Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's aide Huma Abedin in particular. This crackpot anti-Muslim conspiracy theory has been ...

Congratulations to PJ Media for unlocking a new achievement -- being officially noticed by the Washington Post as one of the originators of a crazed anti-Obama conspiracy theory: Reining in the Rumors About EPA 'Drones'. It was a blood-boiler of a story, a menacing tale of government gone too far: ...

We've been watching in horror since the beginning of the Obama administration as the right wing's buried racism came bursting out to the surface, loud and proud. And now, one of the GOP's candidates for President, Tom Tancredo, who's long been associated with extreme right wing groups, has completely stopped ...

Today at PJ Media, hate group leader Robert Spencer turns in another exercise in blatant bigotry: PJ Media » Is Michael Bloomberg Secretly a Muslim? He's only "kidding," of course. He doesn't really think Michael Bloomberg is a secret Muslim. He just thinks Bloomberg is acting like a Muslim, and we know ...

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.

Kudos to Gov. Bill Haslam and his administration for not caving to the bigot brigades. Sadly, the Governor will probably now be labeled a RINO and accused of being connected (or at least sympathetic) to the Muslim Brotherhood. Added emphasis mine. Samar AliTea party and anti-Muslim activists are taking aim ...
