One of the ways Pamela Geller, Robert Spencer, and the other anti-Muslim demagogues of the right give themselves a false air of legitimacy is by constantly forming and re-forming new "organizations," always with lofty-sounding announcements about their noble mission to save the world from the evil Islamic hordes.

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.

As Newt Gingrich and other GOP candidates viciously attack Mitt Romney for his work at Bain Capital, I've been waiting for the other shoe to drop -- because as I wrote yesterday, rapacious no-holds-barred capitalism is a core right wing value, and these attacks are basically a repudiation of everything ...
