If you've read anything by Robert Spencer, you already know that he will blatantly lie when cornered. Today he responds to my piece for the Guardian, with a ridiculous article that calls Pamela Geller a defamed freedom fighter. Spencer leaves out all the childish insults that he normally posts at his ...

Glenn Reynolds provides us with a textbook example of Obama Derangement Syndrome, mixed with a blind dumb partisan instinct to deny responsibility for their own inflammatory rhetoric, and blame the other side for absolutely everything. It occurs to me that right after 9/11 we saw the beginning anti-mosque demonstrations but ...

I'd say Pamela Geller is off the deep end, but she's so far underwater at this point, the deep end is up. Her latest clumsily written rant warns the world of the creeping sharia and stealth jihad caused by THE SECRET SELLING OF HALAL MEAT IN THE U.S.! In today's Human ...

Dutch prosecutors have asked the high court to acquit anti-Muslim politician Geert Wilders on charges of hate speech and incitement. The judge has apparently not ruled on the request yet, but this is the right decision. I've always said Wilders should not be prosecuted for the hateful rubbish he spews. But make ...

Here's my first piece for the Guardian's "Comment is free" site: Pamela Geller and the bloggers of hate. (I didn't pick the title or subheading, but they fit pretty well.) I'll cross-post the article here (including its British spellings), but you should also check out the comments at Cif; some of ...

Jeffrey Goldberg has an interesting post featuring Reuel Marc Gerecht, former CIA operative and expert on militant Islam. Goldberg asked Gerecht for his reaction to some of the outrageously ignorant and bigoted comments from Pamela Geller quoted in the New York Times, and Gerecht's response is a must-read: Reuel Gerecht ...

As if to illustrate my point that every single GOP candidate in this election is a denier of global warming, even Philadelphia's Pat Toomey (considered one of the few remaining moderate Republicans) is toeing the anti-science line. [Video] My view is: I think the data is pretty clear. There has been ...

Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller, arguably the two most visible spokespeople of the anti-Muslim group "Stop Islamization of America," are both very vocal supporters of the British organization called the English Defense League -- an offshoot of the neo-Nazi British National Party, composed in large part of skinheads, white supremacists, ...

In the GOP war against climate science, the latest tactic is to launch "investigations" of their real enemies: the scientists themselves. It's a pretty obvious political calculation; since they can't argue with the scientific facts (not honestly, anyway) they're trying to discredit the researchers personally. One of the most aggressive attackers ...

Oregon GOP congressional candidate Arthur Robinson, subject of several posts at LGF, was on the Rachel Maddow show tonight. And you won't believe how crazy this one gets.

Before the Tea Party loons had their big Delaware primary victory with Christine O'Donnell, Republican incumbent Mike Castle was favored for an easy win. Then came the teabaggers; Castle was declared a despicable RINO. The anti-masturbation, anti-evolution religious fanatic candidate was in! The Tea Party's march to greatness was under way! They ...

Raw Story picked up on my post about the Republican National Coalition For Life's appallingly large list of GOP candidates who support extreme anti-abortion positions (no exceptions for rape and incest).

Impenetrably ignorant Republican Senate candidate Ron Johnson, last seen at LGF when he said global warming is caused by sunspots and CO2 is harmless because it's "sucked down by trees," has made the news again with another outburst of anti-science idiocy: Wis. US Sen. hopeful: Global warming 'unproven'. MILWAUKEE — ...

When the false claims about her education posted at LinkedIn were discovered, GOP anti-wanking candidate Christine O'Donnell said the information was posted by someone else. Unfortunately for O'Donnell's rather transparent attempt to cover up a lie with another lie, now another site has surfaced where the same claims were posted -- ...

The weirdest story of the day comes from Florida (where else?), where one of Gov. Charlie Crist's biggest financial backers is trying to use his political pull to gain access to scores of the state's sealed immunization records -- records that include Social Security numbers and home addresses. The guy who's ...
