Far right conspiracy lunacy is now well entrenched even on sites that used to be considered “mainstream conservative” — like Townhall.com. Yesterday at Townhall, conservatives were served up a piping hot slice of deranged conspiracy-mongering from Floyd and Mary Beth Brown: Could the Obama Administration be Blocking Gulf Clean-up Efforts Intentionally? Any ...

Here’s popular right wing blogger (and writer for Newsmax, World Net Daily, and Andrew Breitbart’s websites) Pamela “Shrieking Harpy” Geller, expressing her unqualified support for antisemites, Holocaust deniers, and extreme right wing European fascist groups again — because they hate Muslims as much as she does: Hundreds attend Paris sausage, ...

One of the tenets of the very politically active far right Christian sect known as the “Dominionists” is the “Seven Mountains” analogy — a strategy for building political influence and gradually turning the United States into a theocracy.

Geller ...

In an interview with Don Imus, Ron Paul calls for the US to abandon Israel, calls Gaza a “concentration camp,” and recites a litany of anti-Israel talking points, including the canard that Israel is starving the people of Gaza. One of the biggest influences on the modern Republican Party sounds just ...

Published May 27th at the official website of Pat Buchanan: an incredibly freaking insane article by a 9/11 Truther who claims the Mossad blew up the World Trade Center towers with planted explosives, and used remote control devices to fly the planes into the WTC towers to cover it up. And ...

In a jaw-droppingly bigoted rant last Wednesday, right wing radio talker Michael Berry came right out and said about the proposed mosque/community center in Manhattan, “I hope somebody blows it up.” Audio On Wednesday, a man named “Tony” called into the KTRH-AM (Houston, TX) radio show of right-wing radio host Michael ...

It’s been a week overflowing with right wing xeno- and homo-phobia, and here’s an exceptional example posted at YouTube a few days ago, as the American Family Association’s Bryan Fischer expounds on his theory that Hitler and the Nazis were homosexuals (not the “effeminate” kind, but the special Third Reich ...

Yesterday a community board in Manhattan voted to approve a proposal to build a mosque two blocks from where the World Trade Center once stood: Local Board Endorses Muslim Center Near Ground Zero. The anti-Muslim bigots of the so-called “anti-jihad” blogosphere are freaking out, of course. Pamela “Shrieking Harpy” Geller is spewing ...

At ReligionDispatches, Sarah Posner has some more data on Rand Paul’s crackpot brand of libertarianism, which is inexplicably mixed with fundamentalist Christianity: Rand Paul: We Wouldn’t Need Laws If Everyone Were Christian.

The religious fanatics who dominate the Texas State Board of Education are now debating their attempt to rewrite American history for the social studies curriculum, in one of the most appalling attempted fundamentalist power grabs I’ve ever seen.

Today Rand Paul said that President Obama’s criticism of British Petroleum is “un-American,” because after all, “accidents happen.” Yes, really.

Not surprising, since Ron’s views on the Civil Rights Act are (at least publicly) even more extreme than Rand’s: Ron Paul Rises to Son’s Defense in Civil Rights Dust-Up. It’s a conspiracy by the left, of course. Default wingnut response to setbacks. Rep. Ron Paul said Thursday the criticism of his ...

As Rand Paul does his best to dodge and obfuscate his position on the Civil Rights Act of 1964, it should be pointed out that he’s simply being a chip off the old block. In 2004, his father Ron Paul was the only member of Congress who voted “NO” on a ...
