The reaction of some right wing bloggers to the assault suffered by CBS News reporter Lara Logan is utterly repulsive. Some of these people are actually gloating over the attack. DERPJim "Dim" Hoft leads the pack with a stupidly offensive and ugly post that manages to pack bigotry, misogyny, and general ...

Years ago, I renounced the so-called "anti-jihad" blogosphere when it became obvious that the bigots were taking over, and that some people who'd been masquerading as rational critics of extremist Islam were in fact harboring an extremist agenda of their own -- giving lip service to the idea that not ...

Applause-Gate is the incredibly strange wingnut meme that stopped living and became a mixed up zombie, and now, even after King of the Wings Rush Limbaugh pronounced it bunk, we find Tea Party operative Eric Odom hauling out this mind-warpingly dumb story to fleece the rubes out of some more ...

Wingnut queen bee Michelle Malkin gets a nice big FALSE rating from PolitiFact.com for doing what she's done so many times before -- concocting an outrageous outrage out of thin air. And this might be the cheapest and ugliest one yet. Malkin tried to claim that the White House orchestrated ...

Racist blogger Robert Stacy McCain’s neo-Nazi pal Bill White (they met at a 2002 conference of the white nationalist group American Renaissance, and McCain then helped get White's articles published in the Washington Times), has been convicted in Chicago for using his hate site Overthrow.com to incite violence against a ...

The right wing astroturfers are calling in their markers. After defeating Feingold, Johnson himself has turned to K Street for help - hiring homeland security lobbyist Donald H.

I'm working on the code to "promote" LGF Pages to the front page, at which point I guess LGF would officially become a sort of group blog. That code isn't ready yet, but here's a great Page that would definitely be promoted if it were -- Barrett Brown's hilarious deconstruction of ...

As I've noted many times at LGF, anti-Muslim bloggers Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer are both big boosters of the violent British xenophobic gang called the English Defence League. One of their often-repeated excuses for supporting this group is that they are "pro-Israel." They rely on Americans' general ignorance of UK ...

If you've read anything by Robert Spencer, you already know that he will blatantly lie when cornered. Today he responds to my piece for the Guardian, with a ridiculous article that calls Pamela Geller a defamed freedom fighter. Spencer leaves out all the childish insults that he normally posts at his ...

Harry's Place has an excellent post by Alexander Meleagrou-Hitchens on the repellent English Defence League (the xenophobic British gang supported and promoted by both Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer): The EDL’s American Apologists.

Here's my first piece for the Guardian's "Comment is free" site: Pamela Geller and the bloggers of hate. (I didn't pick the title or subheading, but they fit pretty well.)
