Yesterday we began seeing a photo make the rounds on Facebook, purporting to show officer Darren Wilson in a hospital bed with facial injuries -- obviously intended to shore up the now-debunked unsourced claim first made by wingnut blogger Jim Hoft that Wilson suffered a fractured eye socket. This photo was ...

It used to be that references to undocumented immigrants as "invaders" was reserved for the outermost fringes of the body politic. Stormfront. Short wave. Nazi/Racist/Neo-Confederate bulletin boards. Infowars. Now, because of an unprecedented humanitarian crisis, the right-wing freakout over "illegal" "invaders" has become commonplace. Neo-Nazi hate-speech is now mainstreamed. Add to that the ...
