In the wake of CNN contributer Dana Loesch's latest conspiracy-mongering about LGF owner Charles Johnson, I thought this would be a good opportunity to review Dana and Chris Loesch's long history of using movement conservatives for their own personal gain. Roughly four years ago, Chris and Dana Loesch voted for Mitt ...

They're at it again. The heirs of Andrew at Breitbart.com have launched a full-scale attack against columnist Dan Savage today. As I write this, there are nine, count 'em, nine front page hit pieces on Savage, with titles like "OBAMA WHITE HOUSE FUNDRAISES FOR ANTI-CHRISTIAN BULLY SAVAGE," and "NSFW: SAVAGE'S ...

You can tell that President Obama's successful operation to find (and kill) Osama bin Laden really eats at the right wing; the faux arguments from the wingnut blogosphere are getting more and more obtuse and absurd. Of course, they're writing for an audience that doesn't care, as long as they ...

There's so much craziness today in the right wing blogosphere that I've just been marveling at it while I drink coffee. One jaw-dropping post after another. Where to start? OK, this is probably the most ludicrous of the bunch: Islamophobia, Too, at Media Matters. Yes, mini-Breitbart Joel Pollak is now accusing Media ...

Here's the background on this amazingly lengthy series of diatribes spewed at me on Twitter in the past day or two: In Which CNN Contributor Dana Loesch Falsely Accuses Me of Using a Racial Slur. After I posted that article, Loesch went nuts -- tweeting insults at me over and over ...

Here's a tale of a wingnut gotcha gone horribly wrong. One of the people I block on Twitter because his tweets are a never-ending cascade of derp is Blue Collar Todd, a far right religious fanatic who specializes in the "I'm rubber, you're glue" style of right-wing blogging, accusing left ...

Richard Grenell, Mitt Romney's new campaign spokesman, appears to have deleted more than 800 tweets he posted attacking women and the media. On Friday afternoon, Grenell still featured a link to his personal site (http://www.richardgrenell.com) on his Twitter profile, which then showed that he had tweeted 7,577 times, according to ...

The Los Angeles County coroner's office announced today that Andrew Breitbart died of heart failure caused by hardening of the arteries. The office ruled that the cause of Breitbart's death was heart failure and hypertropic cardiomyopathy with focal coronary atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries. Coroner's officials deemed the death "natural," and ...

Here's an interesting look at the race-baiting propaganda tactics of Breitbart.com, a tip sent by LGF reader Dave, who tracked down the speech from which Breitbart blogger Ben Shapiro used one photo to illustrate his article on Michelle Obama. (The article that prompted an outpouring of rage and racist hatred ...

Breitbart.com's Ben Shapiro digs into his folder named "Angry Michelle" and finds the perfect picture for his latest exercise in race-baiting: Michelle: Community Organize for Barack! And of course, the people who post comments at Breitbart.com respond in the usual Pavlovian way with a sickening deluge of hatred, comparing the First ...

As we pointed out last weekend, Breitbart.com editor-in-chief John Nolte really let his hateful inner self show in a recent article for the right wing website, calling for the mother of a child on an HBO show to be "murdered." The reader who sent me the tip on that disgusting comment ...

Since wingnut blogger Patterico is bringing up, and distorting, an incident from years ago in his latest post, I thought I should write a short explanation of the facts about this incident, so I can point to it when people like Patterico (aka Patrick Frey, a Deputy District Attorney for ...

Breitbart.com editor-in-chief John Nolte apparently got very upset about something he saw on the HBO shock comedy show Angry Boys recently: HBO Broadcasts Young Girl Sucking on Huge Plastic Penis Cup. Nolte's post now reads: The Left is so far gone that we can't even find agreement on the basis that ...

Prison via Shutterstock It's interesting to see the same weird, bigoted memes emerge simultaneously at both the top and the bottom of the right wing food chain. Emerging from the bottom, a comment posted at Breitbart.com in their ongoing series of attacks on CNN anchor Soledad O'Brien: “Soledad.” One helluva sexy name ...

DERPDemonstrating the incredibly high journalistic standards of Breitbart.com, today Dan Riehl manages to screw up a simple fact in the very first sentence of his latest inept attack on President Obama: NH Gov: Three Years In, Obama Still Unqualified for Presidency. New Hampshire Gov. John Sununu (R) and other local Romney supporters ...

Wed, Apr 11, 2012 at 10:52:42 am
Dan Riehl, one of the star bloggers at Breitbart.com (one of his recent race-baiting posts got the coveted Drudge link there), is also known as one of the most inadvertently hilarious writers in the wingnut blogosphere. Not as dim as Jim Hoft, of course; no one is. But Dan has ...

Here's wingnut blogger Dan Riehl again, with an incoherent post attacking me and defending John Derbyshire's twisted racist article, while recounting a sad tale from his youth fighting in the streets against gangs of black kids: Riehl World View: The Left's Misguided Attack on John Derbyshire. However, I do remember ...

You know all that rhetoric about "race war" that's showing up at Breitbart.com and many other right wing sites these days? It's not just rhetoric. There are some people in Sanford, Florida right now who are taking it very seriously indeed: Armed Neo-Nazis Now Patrolling Sanford, Say They Are 'Prepared' ...

It's pretty revealing to see how Breitbart.com's editor-in-chief Joel Pollak reacts when the absolutely blatant racism and paranoia of his commenters is exposed. This isn't a surprise to him, of course -- Breitbart.com's articles are specifically targeted at inciting this type of racism and whiny right wing victimhood, and the ...

Thu, Apr 5, 2012 at 1:43:02 pm
And here we go again. Out of the blue, Breitbart.com editor-in-chief Joel Pollak suddenly tweeted this at me today: Quick @lizardoid! Warn @EricBoehlert: racist comments @mmfa! One called @limbaugh "radio cracker" & got voted up! tinyurl.com/76suqur Shame — Joel Pollak (@joelpollak) April 5, 2012 For the record, I do denounce this ethnic ...

Another day, another ridiculous fake outrage from the clowns at Breitbart.com, as they dig up a six-year old photo to scream about: Obama's 'Jewbag' Liaison to the Jewish Community. The Democratic Party, which comfortably assumes that it has the Jewish vote in their pocket, doesn’t think much of Jews. The ...

Today, Breitbart.com "editor" Meredith Dake has A Note on Comments, and it's pretty funny. Over the past month, we've monitored how our readers have responded to the new comment format, and how our new comment system has served our site and our vast readership. We've also monitored how the hordes ...

How interesting! This morning I had a look at that Dan Riehl thread at Breitbart.com that was full of racist insanity, and discovered that administrators have been quietly deleting comments. So, after Riehl and "Investigative Writer" Mandy Nagy spewed insults at me all day yesterday on Twitter, and denied any responsibility ...

Sat, Mar 31, 2012 at 2:21:10 pm
NOT MY PROBLEMSince I posted yesterday about Dan Riehl's ugly race-baiting article at Breitbart.com and the deluge of overtly racist comments that followed, hundreds more comments have been posted there: Hoodie-Wearing Gunmen Kill 1, Wound 5 in Bobby Rush's Chicago District. None of the sickening hate speech quoted in our previous ...
