My earlier post about the latest attempt by Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller to drum up hatred for Muslims by inventing an "honor killing" apparently got under the bigots' skins, leading to this exchange on Twitter in which Spencer and Geller spew insults and make up conspiracy theories about me. ...

The so-called "counter-jihad" bloggers are covering themselves in glory again, slobbering and ranting and trying to take advantage of a terrible crime to advance their un-American agenda. Same bigotry, different day. This time they've seized on a story about a man in Texas who killed six members of his own family on ...

Engineer/blogger Robert Rapier writes about the fantasy that many prominent Republican leaders promote, and which much of the GOP base accepts blindly, with respect to petroleum production and the US: [...] On the Republican side, the common view is that we are awash in oil and gas, if only the environmentalists ...

In Belgium today, a gunman with an automatic rifle opened fire on a crowded square in the city of Liege, leaving at least three people dead and scores injured. Earlier reports of more than one gunman were mistaken; it's now confirmed that the attacker, Nordine Amrani, was acting alone. Amrani was ...

Newt Gingrich may be ahead in the polls, but he's never going to be the Republican nominee, for two reasons: 1) everyone knows that Mitt Romney is next in the GOP's good ol' boy line of succession (and it will become crystal clear when he gets the endorsement of John ...

Speaking today at the Republican Jewish Coalition's Presidential Candidates Forum, Newt Gingrich announced that for Secretary of State, his pick would be John Bolton. Yes, that would be the same John Bolton who wrote the foreword for the deranged anti-Obama book by hatebloggers Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer, The Post-American Presidency: ...

This is excellent - so many of the things Charles and other LGF members have been saying for two years, and backed up by boots-on-the-ground investigative journalism: Heads in the Sand. The entire piece is so good, I had a hard time choosing which sections to excerpt: But it's rare to ...

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' ...

I saw this one coming after Herman Cain said yesterday that he'd stay in the race as long as his wife wanted him to. Apparently his wife is "reassessing" Cain's candidacy. “Obviously, you’re all aware of this recent firestorm that hit the news yesterday,” Cain began, his voice somber. “First thing ...

Amazing. We've actually reached the point in the slow motion train wreck called the Republican Party at which a presidential candidate simply lies outright about President Obama -- and when called on it, he openly admits he lied and boasts that it was a success: Team Romney Crows About That ...

Mitt Romney's first campaign ad, titled "Believe in America," centers around an audio clip of President Obama saying, "If we keep talking about the economy, we’re going to lose." An amazingly dishonest audio clip, that is, because Obama was actually quoting the words of a John McCain adviser, talking about McCain's ...

Herman Cain's interview with GQ magazine (in which he claimed that the majority of US Muslims have "extremist views") has lost him a strong supporter: Herman Cain Loses The Muslims He Apologized To. Just a few months ago, Robert Marro was singing Herman Cain’s praises. Now he’s as cynical about ...

Unfortunately, it's no longer shocking to hear Republican presidential candidates enthusiastically endorse the use of torture to gain information from terror suspects. At Saturday's debate, the audience erupted in applause each time a candidate promised to waterboard the hell out of Al Qaeda. After that spectacle, Sen. John McCain was moved ...

Anti-Muslim demagogues Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer have expressed their unqualified support for the fascist English Defence League on many occasions, despite the EDL's frequently violent demonstrations and the presence of many outright neo-Nazis among their ranks. Yesterday in Britain, police arrested nearly 200 members of the EDL for planning to ...

And today we have another woman telling a story of inappropriate behavior by Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain. A former USAID worker claims Herman Cain asked her to set up dinner with a woman who attended a speech he gave in 2002, the Washington Examiner is reporting tonight. The worker — 40-year-old ...

Anti-Muslim demagogue Pamela Geller rants and raves and spews bigoted hate speech and twisted conspiracy theories 24 hours a day, so she really shouldn't be surprised when reputable businesses don't want anything to do with her: Another hotel turns away Pamela Geller and anti-Shariah group. A week after a Hyatt ...

"Fjordman" (real name: Peder Are Nøstvold Jensen), the inspiration for Norwegian mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik and a tribal supremacist hatemonger exposed here at LGF in 2006 and 2007, is back to penning anti-Muslim Jeremiads regarding all things non-white and "non-traditional" in Europe. The thing about evil is that evil people ...

Rush Limbaugh's porcine nature really shines through in this clip; he starts by attacking John McCain for giving credit to President Obama for the downfall of Muammar Gaddafi, then segues right into a "fat joke" about Michelle Obama's butt. Oink. Video

An overwhelming majority of the world's environmental scientists are sounding an increasingly desperate alarm about the impending consequences of global warming, but one of the two major US political parties has decided to loudly ignore reality: Whatever Happened to Global Warming? IN 2008, both the Democratic and Republican candidates for ...

It's a religious right slap-fight, started by one of Rick Perry's closest religious fanatic pals, Baptist preacher Robert Jeffress, who called Mormonism a "cult" at last weekend's Values Voter Summit. Other Republican politicians are condemning this outright religious bigotry, and today Mitt Romney called on Rick Perry to repudiate Jeffress's comments. Perry's ...

It's a funny thing. If you point out that a right-wing pundit lied, their fans don't care. If you point out that they used extremist rhetoric, their fans don't care. But if you point out that they're unhip....have mercy! Mediaite's Tommy Christopher wrote a snarky follow-up to my ...

At far right propaganda site American Spectator (one of the outlets for white supremacist blogger Robert Stacy McCain), Patrick Howley openly admits that he "infiltrated" the Occupy Wall Street protest in Washington DC, posing in his "left wing altar [sic] ego," and leering at the "attractive 20-year old girls:" The ...

If there's one right wing event that sums up the reasons why I ran screaming away from these lunatics more than any other, it's the Values Voter Summit, put on every year by a devil's brew of extreme religious fanatics preaching virulent hatred against everyone who isn't them. At the Values ...

Tommy Christopher has a good piece at Mediaite today on Andrew Breitbart's race-baiting attempt to tie President Obama to the New Black Panther Party, with a look back at the right's history of using the NBPP to scare white people: Andrew Breitbart Obama Black Panthers Photobomb. During the 2008 campaign, ...

One of the groups founded by anti-Muslim demagogues Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer is called the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI), an "umbrella" group that provides cover for their other activities and funding for their anti-Muslim advertisements. John Jay, one of the founding members of the board of AFDI and ...
