DerpImagine my surprise. Instead of retracting his monumentally dumb post claiming that the White House flashed "applause" signs at the Tucson memorial, Jim "Dim" Hoft goes on the attack -- and it's just as lame and dishonest as the stupid post he refuses to correct. Hoft's weird fantasy: Figures. Charles Johnson’s ...

Just when you think popular right wing blogger Jim "Dim" Hoft (Gateway Pundit) couldn't possibly post anything more stupid than his last post, he finds a way to take it to the next level of numbskullitude. Today's entry in the "Hoft Chronicles of Sheer Stoopit" has him trying to claim that ...

Eric Fuller, the 63-year old veteran shot twice last Saturday in the attack that critically injured Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, said today that he blames the violent rhetoric of people like Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, and Sharron Angle. “It looks like Palin, Beck, Sharron Angle and the rest got their first ...

Following the shootings in Arizona, Sarah Palin's Facebook drones went into overdrive, scrubbing any and all criticism from her page. Someone captured this video showing the comments disappearing as fast as they're posted; I don't know what the final count of deleted comments is, but it has to be in ...

Here's an interesting sidenote to Sarah Palin's invocation of "blood libel" to describe the criticism of her extreme and violent rhetoric, demonstrating how quickly these memes bubble up from the crazy base directly into right wing media and the speeches of right wing politicians. Yesterday, there was a very curious edit ...

International Space Station commander Scott Kelly is Gabrielle Giffords' brother-in-law, and today he made a statement on the shooting in Arizona. As I look out the window, I see a very beautiful planet that seems very inviting and peaceful. Unfortunately, it is not. These days, we are constantly reminded of the ...

Today, the world's dumbest blogger, Jim "Dim" Hoft, in his crazed attempt to cast the shooter of Gabrielle Giffords as a "typical leftist nut," actually found a Facebook page that proved he was right all along! He rushed to his computer and feverishly typed this title: "Whoops! This Changes Things- ...

We have our winner in the "Most Disgusting Wingnut Blog of the Day" contest, and it's not surprising that it originates with the dumbest blogger on the web, Jim "Dim" Hoft, posted at the website of race-baiting smear artist Andrew Breitbart: Breaking: Democrats Plotted to Blame Tea Party for Slaughter. UPDATE ...

That's right, standing in once again tonight for Glenn Beck on Fox News is 9/11 Truther Andrew Napolitano. UPDATE at 1/3/11 2:06:50 pm: Andrew Breitbart does his usual thing: Twitter / @AndrewBreitbart: @Lizardoid So Napolitano as 9/11 truther as fill in talk show host is bad. But Van Jones as 9/11 truther ...

Pamela "Shrieking Harpy" Geller has hit the big time; she's featured in the Southern Poverty Law Center's Winter 2010 Intelligence Report, along with deranged preacher Terry Jones: Geller, Jones Amp Up Anti-Muslim Hate Rhetoric. The annual observances in New York City of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks on the ...

TPM writer Eric Kleefeld spoke with Gov. Haley Barbour's official spokesman, Dan Turner, about Barbour's statements in the Weekly Standard praising the segregationist "Citizens' Councils." To recap, here's the quote from the interview: “You heard of the Citizens Councils? Up north they think it was like the KKK,” said Barbour. ...

A who's who of right wing politicians, religious right spokesholes, and anti-gay loons have signed a statement opposing the Southern Poverty Law Center's classification of many far right religious organizations as hate groups. LGF reader Gus 802 pasted together this picture of the statement, which they placed as an advertisement ...

Pamela "Shrieking Harpy" Geller is hyping her new hilariously insane piece for the Breitbart site Big Government, and it's a real hoot. This time she puts on her international political analyst's bikini, and digs beneath the surface of the Wikileaks controversy in her inimitably incoherent style: Pamela Geller, Big Government: Wikileaks: ...

The editors at Fox Nation may have realized they were posting a link to a satirical article from the Onion, but they curiously forgot to mention it to the readers of their website. And the vast majority of those readers had no idea whatsoever that it was a joke, because it ...

One of the most insane right wing memes going around in the kookosphere is that Michelle Obama is socialistically trying to control what everybody eats. The commie. This is what she gets for trying to make people aware of the benefits of eating healthy food -- right wing hatred, coming to ...

Yesterday, the Pope's comments about condoms caused a huge international stir, because it seemed like he was signaling a change in Catholic policy. So today the Vatican rushed out another statement to clarify that when Pope Benedict said it might be OK for male prostitutes to use condoms, he meant only ...

I'm messing around with Mobify today, and may soon have a workable mobile version of LGF, for reading the site anyway. Commenting will still require you to open the non-mobile version of LGF, but I may be able to let you at least read comments in a stripped down mobile ...

Since Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal signed the anti-evolution "Louisiana Science Education Act," the sponsors of this law have been oddly silent; but now the other shoes are starting to drop, as a group of citizens backed by the Christian Louisiana Family Forum (there's that "family" word again) are attacking the ...

Alabama Republican Rep. Spencer Bachus states the obvious: ‘Palin cost us control of the Senate’. "The Senate would be Republican today except for states (in which Palin endorsed candidates) like Christine O'Donnell in Delaware," Bachus said, according to the Shelby County Reporter. "Sarah Palin cost us control of the Senate." ...

I wonder if the ABC News producer who thought it would be a good idea to invite Andrew Breitbart to appear on ABC News's election coverage is starting to regret it, now that Breitbart is accusing ABC News of lying? Probably not. They had to know in advance that featuring a ...

Andrew Breitbart's Big Government site is promoting another outrageous outrage today, claiming that reporters for Alaska TV station KTVA were caught on tape plotting to damage Joe Miller's campaign. After Breitbart's smear campaigns against ACORN and Shirley Sherrod using edited and out of context recordings, what are the odds that this ...
