The Republican Party is dealing with the massive negative reaction to their many anti-women's rights initiatives by pretending their "war on women" is completely imaginary. But most women have a lot of unfortunate experience with lies told by powerful old men, and they're not buying it. Romney faces a huge deficit ...

Meanwhile in Tennessee, Republican Governor Bill Haslam has announced that he'll "probably" sign a right wing bill protecting teachers who tell their students that evolution and global warming are not real: Anti-Evolution 'Monkey Bill' Poised to Become Law in Tennessee.

This is good news; those unnecessary xenophobic "anti-shariah" bills promoted by the loony right wing are failing across the nation: Anti-Shariah Movement Loses Steam in State Legislatures. At this point in 2011, 22 state legislatures had either passed or were considering bills to prohibit judges from considering either Islamic law, ...

YouTube Video A truly horrifying story from California: California Muslim Mother Beaten to Death, Left With Note Saying 'Go Back to Your Country'.

In a column for the Philadelphia Inquirer, Rick Santorum proves again that he is probably the dumbest, most determinedly ignorant right winger ever to run for President, with an attack on evolution and global warming that's absolutely breathtaking in its mindless hostility toward science: The Elephant in the Room: Challenging ...

I've seen this kind of weird thinking before, but it's still a little amazing to encounter people who blithely give themselves permission to use racial slurs, and then deny there's anything racist about it: Exclusive: Seller of Controversial Anti-Obama Sticker Says It's Not Racist. Paula Smith of Hinesville, Georgia has ...

Today, anti-Muslim hate group leader Pamela Geller has quietly deleted the comment by "Brian_R_Allen" calling for the assassination of President Obama, with no statement about it on her blog. But she didn't ban this hateful freak, and he promptly re-posted the comment -- with the direct advocation "Kill him" edited into ...

Video Today on CNN, Rick Santorum repeated his bizarre attacks on the Obama administration, ranting crazily that the Justice Department favors pornographers over children and families. This deranged nonsense apparently plays well with the right wing base -- either that, or Rick Santorum is simply not right in the head. Santorum also ...

Video Would you believe that when I helped launch Pajamas Media, one of the goals was to create a site that would transcend left-right politics, promote environmentalism and science, and allow free discussion of ideas without ideological blinders? I know, it's almost impossible to believe, if you look at the pure right ...

Rachel Maddow's interview with leading Republican climate change denier Sen. James Inhofe is a real jaw-dropper. Inhofe tells an amazing amount of lies about climate science and global warming, but perhaps the most outrageous claim he makes is that science curriculum in public schools should be determined not by scientists, ...

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.

Again, religious fanatic, creationist, and climate change denier Rick Santorum provides the best measure of the dangerously irresponsible disconnect between the American right wing and reality. "The dangers of carbon dioxide? Tell that to a plant, how dangerous carbon dioxide is," said Rick Santorum. Santorum is sneering at a physical ...

An interesting but not surprising admission from Rick Santorum today: his aim is not to win the majority of Republican delegates, but to damage Mitt Romney so much that it will force a brokered convention. It's a Republican battle to the death for the anti-science creationist fanatic. The memo, to ...

After his repellent misogynistic comments about law student Sandra Fluke, almost all of Rush Limbaugh's major advertisers have dropped his show like a hot potato. In response, a weird hush has fallen over most of the right wing blogosphere; they seem to have realized that when dozens of major advertisers bail ...

Rush Limbaugh follows up his disgusting anti-woman remarks from yesterday with even more disgusting misogyny today, refusing to back down or apologize (of course -- he never does) and reiterating his ugly slurs against Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke.
