The ideological bent of Komen Foundation public policy VP Karen Handel really becomes clear in this 2010 interview with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution on the topic of gay marriage and adoption, in which she says she favors outlawing gay adoptions: Handel Says Gay Parents Not as 'Legitimate' as Hetero Ones. Q: ...

In an interview with CNN's Piers Morgan, Rick Santorum spelled out the inhuman belief system behind the anti-abortion crazies: Santorum To Rape Victims: 'Make The Best Out Of A Bad Situation'. SANTORUM: Well, you can make the argument that if she doesn’t have this baby, if she kills her child, ...

Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul continues to evade responsibility for the ugly, deranged newsletters he sold for many years; recently he claimed that "only 8 to 10 sentences were offensive," out of all these newsletters. This, dear readers, is what is commonly known as "an outright lie." And today The New ...

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. Video Ron Paul's angry denials should be weighed against his regular appearances on the Alex Jones radio show, since Jones is one of the loudest, most deranged 9/11 ...

It's horrifying to hear almost all the GOP presidential candidates proudly saying that victims of rape or incest should be forced to give birth to an attacker's child. There's nothing that makes the utter heartlessness of this fanatical agenda more evident, and now Rick Perry (who previously supported rape/incest exceptions) ...

The New Republic has made available a collection of Ron Paul's ugliest newsletters, and if you haven't seen how bad this stuff is yet, you may be shocked. I think it's amazing and sad that this hasn't been a political problem for Ron Paul before now. The content of these newsletters ...

In a town hall meeting in Iowa, Rick Perry was confronted by audience members over his support for the environmental disaster of "fracking" and his opposition to gays serving openly in the military. It's a picture of determined right wing ignorance again; Perry completely denied the scientific evidence that fracking can ...

In previous GOP debates, the audience booed a gay soldier, cheered Rick Perry for setting a record in executions, and applauded letting people without health insurance die. Last night, another appalling moment was added to this catalog of infamy: GOP Debate Audience Cheers Child Labor. Video "I think every person up here ...

It's a picture of a political party completely lost in lala land, as Newt Gingrich teams up with Birther Donald Trump to subvert America's child labor laws and put disadvantaged kids to work swabbing out the toilets in their own schools, reality show style: Gingrich asks Trump to create 'apprentice' ...

The bizarre Herman Cain story of the day is the new Women For Herman Cain page at his website, an initiative supposedly launched by his wife to enlist the aid of an "online national fellowship of women" to support Cain. And by "support" I mean "viciously attack Cain's female accusers." The ...

I almost can't believe it, but Newt Gingrich is still out there promoting his plan to gut America's child labor laws, fire the unionized janitorial staff in schools, and put those shiftless little bastards to work swabbing out the toilets. Here's Newt in Des Moines, Iowa, explaining that "poor kids" don't ...

Newt Gingrich, the man of Big Ideas and Bold Conservative Vision, seems a little unclear on the whole "child labor" concept: Newt: Fire the janitors, hire kids to clean schools. Newt Gingrich tonight said at an address at Harvard that child work laws "entrap" poor children into poverty - and ...

Despite the numerous scientists and medical professionals who've publicly let Michele Bachmann know that the HPV vaccine has been extensively studied and is not dangerous (beyond the small risks associated with all vaccines), Bachmann is still pushing her false claim that the vaccine "ravages" children: Michele Bachmann: HPV Vaccine 'Ravages' ...

Interesting development in the right wing war on women's rights: there are actually some religious groups beginning to get uncomfortable with the implications of the crazy far right agenda they've been supporting.

Today's story of outstanding right wing cognitive dissonance comes to us from the extreme anti-gay throwback group called the "Family Research Council," where they've given their "True Blue" award for "defending faith, family, and freedom" to Republican Rep. Joe Walsh -- who owes more than $100,000 in child support. “We ...
