Normally, I wouldn't inflict something containing this much derpitude on the LGF audience, but here's Steven Crowder's stand-up routine at today's Tea Party convention. You don't have to watch the whole thing. Just know that it exists. Watch a few seconds and you'll get the drift. Wingnut humor: painfully unfunny racial stereotypes, ...

Here's one of the star speakers at TeaBagCon this weekend, Andrew Breitbart, spewing obscenities at his enemies. He calls Janeane Garofalo "Hollywood's sympathy f*ck," to a wildly cheering audience of conservatives. He follows up this classless rant by telling union leaders James Hoffa and Richard Trumka, "F*ck you," again to wild ...

You can always tell when Andrew Breitbart's fans are about to let loose with another torrent of bigotry and hatred -- it happens whenever Breitbart.tv posts another race-baiting video clip of an African American talking about racism: Breitbart.tv » Dem Strategist Calls Cain ‘Bigoted,’ ‘Racist’. These clips are guaranteed to provoke: ...

Here we go again; the Perpetual Assembly Line of Fake Right Wing Outrages cranks out another bogus story, and the right wing blogs and media all start squawking in unison. President Obama's senior adviser Valerie Jarrett gave a speech recently, in which she said that government should help create jobs so ...

Here's a Tuesday night open thread, as Andrew Breitbart totally tweaks out once again, asking his followers to pile on and insult me on Twitter: Twitter / @AndrewBreitbart: I need help characterizing ... I need help characterizing pathetic race-baiting piece of human excrement @lizardoid in less provocative language.

Andrew Breitbart has spent the last few days furiously denying that there are racists infesting his websites, and pathetically claiming that all the racial slurs are being "planted" by anonymous liberals (or by me, personally!) to "falsely smear" him. So let's take another look today at Breitbart.com, where a video clip ...

This is an excellent post by Anil Dash, on what site owners need to do if they don't want to end up with a website full of assholes. He's actually enumerating many of the principles that have helped LGF become a place for valuable discussion. I used to believe in a ...

Mon, Sep 26, 2011 at 10:19:05 am
To kick off the week in grand style, this morning Andrew Breitbart is apoplectic with rage at being exposed: We have UNMODERATED comments. We delete the racist ones that we are notified of. You could have asked, asshole! See: Breitbart.com Commenters Respond to Obama Speech with Deluge of Overt Racism. UPDATE ...

Of all the right wing race-baiting demagogues, Andrew Breitbart is one of the most duplicitous and dishonest, continually denying that any racism exists in the conservative/Tea Party movement, and whipping out the tired old "reverse racism" talking points every chance he gets. So let's have a look at Breitbart's own website, ...

Sometimes it's amazing to see the horrendous writing, bad logic, and outright falsehoods that pass for "news" in the strange, closed universe of the right wing, and here's a perfect example by Chriss W. Street at Andrew Breitbart's Big Government website: Nature Journal of Science Discredits Man-made Global Warming - ...

Well, this post by Killgore Trout on Andrew Breitbart's violent murder fantasies really got the Fraud King lathered up. Breitbart and his Neanderthal followers were spewing hatred and insults at me all night long on Twitter -- at least 100 ranting tweets from his goon squad. And they're still at ...

Sun, Sep 18, 2011 at 12:05:49 pm
This excellent video by "potholer54" (the YouTube screen name for writer Peter Hadfield) is for all those right wingers who keep emailing and showing up in LGF comments gloating about a paper from CERN that "totally destroys the myth of global warming" (to quote one of more than a dozen ...

Speaking at a Tea Party gathering in Boston, Andrew Breitbart fantasizes about armed conflict with his fellow Americans. Breitbart, Bring it on: "They can only win a rhetorical or propaganda war. We outnumber them and we have the guns." (Audience laughs) "I'm not kidding." He elaborates that he imagines the military is going ...

TIME Magazine's Healthland blog tears apart Michele Bachmann's loony anti-vaccination nonsense: Vaccination Causes ‘Mental Retardation’? Fact-Checking Michele Bachmann’s Claim. Perhaps more disturbing are comments Bachmann made Tuesday morning about the safety of the HPV vaccine itself — and what they revealed about her utter misunderstanding of the science. Talking with Matt ...

If you believe the media stories about it, we're in for a real "slugfest" tonight at the CNN/Teabagger Republican Debate: Five things to watch for in CNN/Tea Party Republican debate. Round two of the Perry-Romney slugfest? It started in Wednesday's debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, ...

Here's a Friday night open registration thread, with some reasons you might want to consider registering a free account at LGF: [Item List]

For me, the most memorable moment of last night's debate was Rick Perry's comparison of himself to Galileo -- because Perry refuses to accept the science of climate change. The cynical deceptiveness of this comment is mind-boggling. Galileo fought for years to defend the scientific theory of heliocentrism, and the people ...

Here's a second thread for debate discussion, since the first one is already over 700 comments. In some good news, we learned tonight that the Republican Party finally accepts the discoveries made by Galileo.

I can hardly believe it, but right wing radio, blogs and politicians are still whining about James Hoffa's speech in Michigan, crying and complaining and demanding apologies. What the hell is wrong with these people? And to make matters worse, even non-Fox News sources are running the Fox-edited quotes of Hoffa's ...

Tue, Sep 6, 2011 at 5:58:56 pm
It's amazing how quickly these bogus outrages propagate in the right wing media and blogosphere these days: Timeline Of A Right-Wing Media Smear: Hoffa's Call To Vote Became 'A Call For Violence'. Starting with Fox News's doctored videos, the story quickly spread throughout the online wingnut community. And not a single ...

The libertarians are really distinguishing themselves this week with their comments on Hurricane Irene. First we had Ron Paul pining for that bygone year of 1900 when there was no FEMA and tens of thousands were left to rot where they died. Good times! And now we have Patrick Michaels (a senior ...

The new Gallup poll out today shows that among teabaggers (hey, Andrew Breitbart himself said he was "proud to be a teabagger"), Rick Perry's strong, uncompromising Neanderthal message is really resonating: Tea Party Supporters Backing Perry for GOP Nomination. PRINCETON, NJ -- Rick Perry's candidacy has attracted strong initial support ...

Wed, Aug 24, 2011 at 10:59:51 am
Practically the entire right wing blogosphere was taken in by a hoax this morning, as a right wing foe of NY Times economist Paul Krugman created a Google+ account with Krugman's name and proceeded to post outrageous comments: The Krugman Google Saga: Or, Why Fact-Checking is Important. National Review, American Thinker, ...

In the 10 years we've been online, the single feature most requested by LGF users has been the ability to edit comments after they're posted, to fix typos, bad HTML tags, etc. Sure, we have a nice Ajax-based preview function that lets you see exactly how your comment will look ...

When anti-Muslim demagogues Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller want to make sure their explicit enemies list gets seen by as many borderline crazy right wingers as possible, they turn to Andrew Breitbart's "Big Government" website: The AFDI Threats to Freedom Index - Big Government. It's a list of almost every well-known ...
