Jones sheds some of his patented libertarian conspiracy "truth" on what really happened in Colorado today with the mass shooting which claimed the lives of 12 theater goers. Apparently Obama and the UN drugged the perp and armed him as part of Fast and Furious in order to bring ...

In case you hadn't noticed, the Romney campaign is completely shunning the mainstream media, and yesterday Zac Moffat, Digital Director of the Romney Campaign, admitted as much in an interview with Breitbart.com operative Larry O'Connor: Romney Campaign: Drudge, Breitbart Leading Rise of Center-Right Media. My jaw hit the floor when I ...

In this clip, ABC's Jake Tapper asks Ron Paul about a report that he believes in 9/11 conspiracy theories, and Dr. Paul goes ballistic.

Today at the Wall Street Journal we find an appalling article titled Climategate 2.0, by one of Britain's most deranged and dishonest climate change deniers, James Delingpole -- who often appears on the crazed radio show of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. Every sentence in this first paragraph is an outright lie: ...

Adequate words do not exist to describe the magnitude of this idiocy, as Arizona's Sheriff Joe Arpaio cooperates with the far right's craziest theocratic media site, World Net Daily, to launch an investigation into ... wait for it ...

Norwegian mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik has reportedly asked his lawyer how many people he killed in his rampage.

Since it's the first of the month, I thought it might be interesting to run a quick script to determine which user-submitted LGF Pages have been most popular on Twitter, during the previous month of February. And without further ado, here are the top 10 results in reverse order: #10 - ...

I'd normally rather have a root canal than watch Glenn Beck's show, but today I wanted to see how he would try to spin away all responsibility for his insane extremist rhetoric. And sure enough, he came up with a real jaw-dropper. Here's a screenshot; these are the people he ...

LGF reader Killgore Trout subjects himself to videos of the Alex Jones conspiracy freakshow so you don't have to, and yesterday he posted the latest episode -- in which Fox News host (and extreme right wing whackjob) Andrew Napolitano came out and admitted he's a 9/11 Truther. Media Matters The link between ...

Glenn Beck, sounding more and more like a hyper-paranoid Alex Jones, says China launched a "two-stage missile" off the California coast from a submarine to intimidate the US, and 'what they're telling you on television is bull crap'. He knows this because he "knows an awful lot of people in ...

Drudge Report has been pushing the latest round of TSA scare stories hard (and often linking to Alex Jones conspiracy sites as sources), and right now he's running this picture with the headline, "The Terrorists Have Won." Only problem: if the terrorists did win, it must have happened in September 2007 ...

For the past few years I've been watching Ron Paul's rise to power with a gut-wrenching sense of inevitability; despite his overtly racist newsletters, insane economic theories, and associations with extremists and conspiracy wackos of all kinds, from the John Birch Society to Alex Jones, his star just keeps rising ...

The video of the day: conspiracy impresario Alex Jones appearing on the pro-Kremlin propaganda outlet "Russia Today," complaining that Glenn Beck is stealing all his best crazy ideas and using them to promote Beck's corporate masters.

A Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll has found that 71% of Republicans are Tea Party supporters, which should come as no surprise. The Tea Party "movement" has been largely an astroturf operation from the very beginning, a way to legitimize the far right of the GOP. And it's worked, as ...

Alternet has a post about a ring of Tea Party conservatives on the very popular social media site Digg, who are systematically burying posts from progressive sites: Massive Censorship Of Digg Uncovered.

Left wing sites are buzzing about Judge Andrew Napolitano’s statements on C-SPAN’s Book TV, that President Bush and VP Cheney should have been indicted for torturing, spying, and arresting people without warrants. Some bloggers seem to think this might endanger Napolitano’s job as host of “Freedom Watch” on the Fox ...

Louie Gohmert. If ever a name were a window into a man’s soul. Rep. Gohmert (R-Texas) was last seen at LGF when he appeared on the Alex Jones show, discussing the Obama administration’s secret plan to euthanize senior citizens just like Hitler, and when he said the Obama administration’s $20 ...
