Despite his role in one of the ugliest, most egregious journalistic frauds of the year, ABC News has hired Andrew Breitbart to provide commentary for their election night coverage. Words fail.

I don't want to believe the ugly comments at almost every right wing blog about the woman assaulted by Rand Paul supporters last night. Has the entire wingnut blogosphere turned into a pack of rabid animals? Jim "Dim" Hoft thinks Lauren Valle deserved to be stomped on the head, and he's ...

Wow. The timing of this seems awfully convenient, to say the least: Fox News gives Juan Williams an expanded role.

White supremacist blogger Robert Stacy McCain, who just can't seem to get me out of his head, tweets this morning: How long before Charles Johnson denounces Juan Williams as an extremist Islamaphobic nutjob? #NPR Thanks for thinking of me, racist cretin, but here's the thing: I don't believe Juan Williams ...

Juan Williams has been playing an odd double game for several years, sounding like a liberal on NPR, but somewhat less of a liberal on Fox News. And yesterday Bill O'Reilly, as part of the standard Fox News incitement against Muslims, prodded Williams into crossing a line and NPR fired ...

Yesterday, in a debate at Widener University Law School before an audience of legal scholars and law students, Christine O'Donnell reiterated her position that local public schools should teach young earth creationism in science classes. Which is bad enough. But in trying to support her ludicrous anti-science position, O'Donnell revealed her shocking ...

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. It's a good follow-up to my piece for the Guardian, getting deeper into the EDL's history of associations ...

Jon Ralston has been covering Sharron Angle since the beginning of her rise to Tea Party stardom, and he can't hide his astonishment at the blind hate that is financing Sharron Angle’s run. “Sharron Angle produced one of the most successful single quarters of fundraising in the nation’s history for ...

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.) I'll cross-post the article here (including its British spellings), but you should also check out the comments at Cif; some of ...

Jeffrey Goldberg has an interesting post featuring Reuel Marc Gerecht, former CIA operative and expert on militant Islam. Goldberg asked Gerecht for his reaction to some of the outrageously ignorant and bigoted comments from Pamela Geller quoted in the New York Times, and Gerecht's response is a must-read: Reuel Gerecht ...

The GOP's Neanderthal candidate for governor of New York, Carl Paladino, who's been in the news lately for a series of homophobic and gay-baiting comments, cashed in on Buffalo gay clubs Cobalt and Buddies II.

Jonathan Martin at Politico has a piece on the weird behavior of many candidates (mostly Republicans) in this election -- who seem to believe it's a winning strategy to hide from the press and the public. It’s mostly, but not entirely, a Republican phenomenon. In some cases, a tea-party-oriented candidate ...

James O'Keefe, alone in a friendless universe, abandoned even by Andrew Breitbart who profited the most from O'Keefe's "groundbreaking" work. Feel the pain of O'Keefe: O’Keefe Owes His Supporters an Explanation - Andrew Breitbart - Big Journalism. I proudly stood behind James O’Keefe on his groundbreaking ACORN investigation. I also ...

Greg Sargent has CNN's terse statement: "Rick Sanchez is no longer with the company. We thank Rick for his years of service and we wish him well." It's interesting to see CNN's standard for what's over the line, since Erick Erickson still has his job despite numerous comments that are ...

In his latest campaign ad, Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) pulled a Breitbart -- he edited video of his opponent Daniel Webster to make him appear to be saying something other than what he really said. FactCheck.org has the details: Rep. Grayson Lowers the Bar. In a new ad, Grayson accuses ...

LGF reader freetoken uploaded a better recording of the Bill Maher show, featuring Christine O'Donnell saying "evolution is a myth," and please note smear merchant Andrew Breitbart's amazingly crude joke.

Matt Duss has a good piece about The Roots Of ‘Sharia’ Hysteria, pointing out this interesting article at Foreign Policy about the Muslim Brotherhood, which concludes: At a global level, the Brotherhood is no Mafia. Nor is it a rigid and disciplined Stalinist-style Comintern. It most closely resembles today's Socialist ...

Right on cue, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad spewed the expected crazy talk in his speech to the United Nations General Assembly, leading to the expected walkout by the US and other Western delegates. The United States led an enraged Western walkout after Ahmadinejad's comments on the Al-Qaeda attack on the World Trade ...

In case you haven't noticed yet, LGF Pages underwent an extreme makeover last weekend, ending up with a new, cleaner look and some new features. I've been on a consistency kick, so the design of the main LGF Pages index looks a lot like the other pages at LGF, with matching ...

Any conservative who dares to criticize the nomination of Christine O'Donnell is getting smacked around and threatened with excommunication by the teabag base -- even Karl Rove, that RINO. Here's one of the dimmest of the wingnut bloggers, Dan Riehl, demanding that Karl Rove be suspended from Fox News and "investigated" ...
