When Breitbart.com's Ben Shapiro posted his now-infamous fake story about Chuck Hagel and "Friends of Hamas," it's noteworthy that the entire right wing media machine immediately jumped on the story and spread it far and wide. It's difficult to find a right wing website that didn't run the story; this ...

New York Daily News journalist Dan Friedman recounts the tale of how he joked about a ridiculously-named fake group called "Friends of Hamas" with a Republican aide, then watched as Breitbart.com hack Ben Shapiro uncritically and unprofessionally reported it as a fact: 'Friends of Hamas': My Role in the Birth ...

Breitbrat Ben Shapiro apparently just made up a story about Chuck Hagel receiving donations from a group called "Friends of Hamas," because as Dave Weigel reports, the group does not actually exist. As with all these fake stories from the Breitbart crew, it immediately spread throughout the right wing echo chamber, ...

The rhetoric just keeps getting crazier and crazier at the hate site that Andrew Breitbart built, as head attack weasel Joel Pollak posts a demented rant about fascism and the "lickspittle" Huffington Post. Yes, it's another absurd post about the Benghazi boogaloo, and Pollak is absolutely certain there's a "cover-up" ...

Today at the loony right wing site founded by Andrew Breitbart, they have another BOMBSHELL EXCLUSIVE! I'm not sure why it's supposed to be "exclusive," when it's simply a report about the upcoming Senate hearings on immigration, but you know how these people are -- shameless, inadvertently hilarious self-aggrandizers: Exclusive: ...

It's the new Tea Party hotness versus stale old Karl "Turd Blossom" Rove, in a cage match to the finish! The challenge to Rove's supremacy is led by talk radio raver Steve Deace and Breitbart attack weasel Ben Shapiro! I can only cheer them all on. Who could possibly take sides? ...

MSNBC Video I was pleasantly surprised last night when Rachel Maddow showed a screen shot from LGF to illustrate her piece on the right wing's continual invention of loony conspiracy theories about the President. Here's the LGF article she used: Breitbart Blogger Dan Riehl on the Trail of a Bombshell Obama ...

Pro tip: if you want to be taken seriously as a fact checker, maybe you should avoid writing absolutely ridiculous articles like this one: The White House's Curious Silence About Obama's Claim of Skeet Shooting. Yes, Washington Post fact checker Glenn Kessler actually seems to believe this is an important issue, ...

Our absurdly vitriolic comment of the day comes from the always raging readers of Breitbart.com, for an article by Dr. Susan Berry, who is just utterly outraged about an advertisement that dares to suggest abortions don't turn women into miserable psychotic wrecks: NARAL Video: Should I Go for a Jog ...

The New Republic published an interview with President Obama today, and of course that means the right wing blogosphere has to fly into a rage. In unison, the way they do everything. At the hate site that Andrew built, Breitbrat Joel Pollak has apparently decided that Barack Obama is relevant again, ...

It's Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, and today at Breitbart.com, editor John Nolte celebrates the civil rights legend's birthday by launching an attack on Roots author Alex Haley, and linking to an anti-MLK hate site hosted by the white supremacists of Stormfront.org: ALEX HALEY: THE LANCE ARMSTRONG OF LITERATURE. That link is ...

The National Rifle Association's ugly ad targeting President Obama's children accuses him of being a "hypocrite" because the school his daughters attend has "11 armed guards." The ad also attacks NBC journalist David Gregory for the same alleged "hypocrisy." And to back up this claim they cite the right wing attack ...

The Breitbrats really have it in for actress Lena Dunham; she's one of their recurring targets, along with Sandra Fluke and Soledad O'Brien. Something about assertive, unashamed liberal women seems to get under their skin, big time. After Dunham made a mildly racy advertisement endorsing Barack Obama for President, Ben Shapiro ...

Witness the spectacle, if you will, of human-weasel hybrid Ben Shapiro vs. Piers Morgan. Morgan has done more than anyone in mainstream media to publicize the Breitbart-style far right, and I'm not sure that's a good thing. The entire right wing blogosphere is giving Shapiro virtual high fives for this belligerent ...

In the Wingnut Welfare department, Breitbart.com is hyping a new book by young Ben Shapiro, who's having another tantrum about the mean horrible liberals and their rotten awful bullying, a topic that never gets old at the house that Andrew built: MEET THE 'BULLIES': BREITBART EDITOR EXPOSES OBAMA'S ARMY OF ...

Tue, Jan 1, 2013 at 1:27:38 pm
For years, Breitbart.com editor Joel Pollak has been attacking absolutely everything Barack Obama does, writing hundreds of thousands of words, spending every waking minute watching videos and reading transcripts, looking for any little phrase he can twist and distort, poring over photographs looking for the least flattering ones, in a ...

Over in Wingnut World, Breitbrat Mike Flynn takes his typical measured impartial stance and shouts: OBAMA SCUTTLES 'FISCAL CLIFF' DEAL? Flynn is very upset and concerned about Obama's tone in his remarks earlier today. He senses mockery. This afternoon, in one of the more bizarre appearances of his presidency, Barack Obama ...

California Senator Dianne Feinstein is planning to introduce a bill in January that would ban the sale of military-style assault weapons, and this has driven the right wing nuts (a short drive) -- because Feinstein's bill also covers semi-automatic handguns. As the horror of the Newtown massacre begins to get less ...

Wed, Dec 26, 2012 at 10:53:18 am
There are so many levels of moronic absurdity in this story it beggars the imagination, as the right wing screams in unison (they always scream in unison) for Meet the Press host David Gregory to be prosecuted and sent to jail for using an AR-15 magazine as a prop in ...

Tommy Christopher points out that Breitbart.com indentured servant Dana Loesch has become persona non grata (unofficially, of course) at CNN, after her comments applauding US soldiers who urinated on corpses, and her underhanded sabotage of other CNN contributors. (I have a feeling, knowing CNN, that the sabotage was more important ...

Tonight we have word of big trouble on the far right, as the Breitbrats begin fighting in earnest over the empire that Breitbart built: Talk Radio Host Dana Loesch Files Suit in St. Louis Against Breitbart.com. I've been wondering why Loesch's wingnut screeds haven't been appearing there lately -- now we ...

Fri, Dec 21, 2012 at 1:28:09 pm
Breitbart.com editor John Nolte is possibly the most dishonest writer at that right wing hate site, and that's really saying something. Today he's busily pumping out pro-gun propaganda, and his latest is a classic in the genre of stupid: POLITICO RUNS 'HITLER PHOTO' OF NRA CHIEF! The above is the ...

Tue, Dec 18, 2012 at 6:30:04 pm
The big push to divert the discussion of guns and gun control into a discussion about mental illness is really beginning in earnest tonight. And unfortunately, many liberals arguing for gun control are falling for the diversion, because yes, mental health care is terrible in America and it does need ...

Today in the fake right wing scandal we'll call UnionThug-Gate, we learn that provocateur Steven Crowder was not just standing there minding his own business when he was punched in the face outside the Michigan Capitol -- he was shoving union members. And how do we know this? From Crowder's own ...

Wed, Dec 12, 2012 at 1:44:19 pm
According to a witness to Steven Crowder's nasty little stunt at the Michigan protest yesterday, he was provoking and insulting demonstrators, deliberately trying to goad them into violence. Knowing how the Fox News/Breitbart gang love to stage these kinds of fake incidents to picture their targets as violent thugs, it was ...
