The so-called "counter-jihad" bloggers are covering themselves in glory again, slobbering and ranting and trying to take advantage of a terrible crime to advance their un-American agenda. Same bigotry, different day. This time they've seized on a story about a man in Texas who killed six members of his own family on ...

The New Republic has made available a collection of Ron Paul's ugliest newsletters, and if you haven't seen how bad this stuff is yet, you may be shocked. I think it's amazing and sad that this hasn't been a political problem for Ron Paul before now. The content of these newsletters ...

This afternoon, MSNBC ran an above the fold photo showing a Navy sailor kissing her partner as the first sailor off their ship. That, by itself isn't particularly newsworthy.

If I didn't know about Ron Paul's far right and neo-Confederate connections, and his history of blatantly racist newsletters, and everything else about him, I'd probably be giving him kudos right now for telling the unvarnished truth about Michele Bachmann (and most of the rest of the GOP field too, ...

The image appeared in a Big ...

Two of the biggest buffoons in US right wing politics, Glenn Beck and Andrew Breitbart, are at each other's throats today. Well, Breitbart is at Beck's throat, anyway. It started when Beck said Newt Gingrich was so much like Obama, the only reason Tea Partiers would pick Gingrich was because they're ...

Wingnut bloggers are hilariously freaking out today about a conference call held by the Romney campaign, because they took questions from Mother Jones and Talking Points Memo, but not ... them.

If I hadn't seen this happen over and over and over at right wing websites, I might be shocked by the proud, open racism expressed by Fox News commenters in this article about Wyclef Jean's Haitian charity fund. WARNING: these quoted comments contain numerous racial slurs, so I've hidden them to ...

I have to agree with Herman Cain that one of the big reasons for his plummeting popularity is "confusion." Oh... wait. He meant other people's confusion. “Obviously false accusations and confusion about some of my positions has contributed to it,” Cain said on CNN’s “State of the Union” when asked by ...

I recently published a book in Norwegian attacking the counterjihadist movement, and the naiveté shown towards it by, for instance, Norwegian media. This has annoyed certain bloggers, including Baron Bodissey at Gates of Vienna, who promptly decided to attack me. Normally, I would not bother answering an article attacking me at ...

In Australia, President Obama mentioned that America's educational system needs improvement and that we're falling behind in science and math; predictably, this led to yet another outburst of deranged right wing commentary about Obama "bad-mouthing the US." For example, in this article at Fox Nation: Obama Bad-Mouths US to Aussie ...

After his amazingly dumb, self-refuting post yesterday claiming that the media is "covering up" connections between the White House shooting suspect and OWS, check out the Twitter insanity coming from Andrew Breitbart editor-in-chief John Nolte today, exulting about violence against OWS protesters and calling for more. Don't forget, though; in the ...

The wingnut blogs are still frothing and spewing hatred at Occupy Wall Street today; they're all ranting in unison about a random protester who threatened to fire-bomb Macy's.

Herman Cain's interview with GQ magazine shows him returning to the anti-Muslim hate-baiting that serves him so well with the Republican base.

In the perpetual race to the bottom of a bottomless pit that is the right wing blogosphere, a new outrageous outrage has arisen, more outrageous than all the other fake outrages of wingnut history.
