In the midst of a discussion about right wing denial of climate change, Bill Maher asks Rep. Jack Kingston (R-GA) directly, "Do you believe in evolution?" Kingston answers, "I believe I came from God, not from a monkey, so the answer is no." And, "I don't believe a creature crawled out of ...

A new study by Danish scientists, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, provides more evidence that a common talking point of the anti-choice religious right wing is false: abortion and mental problems are not related.

Former feckless International Atomic Energy Agency head Mohamed ElBaradei is making a play to assume power in Egypt, and on his arrival today in Cairo he was mobbed by reporters -- but not supporters.

The uprising in Tunisia is inspiring mass demonstrations in Egypt -- and while the Egyptian government is massively corrupt and brutal, the only real political alternative is the Muslim Brotherhood.

An official post by "The Directors" of Redstate.com openly threatens "mass bloodshed" if abortion remains safe and legal: We Have Drawn a Line. Here at RedState, we too have drawn a line. We will not endorse any candidate who will not reject the judicial usurpation of Roe v. Wade and ...

You'll never see a more blatant expression of the Republican Party's servitude to the energy industries than this. No, the title is not an exaggeration.

In a column for the anti-gay hate group known as the American Family Association (home of the demented Bryan Fischer), religious right leader Michael Youssef said that because of the Episcopal Church's tolerance of gays, it has "defied God" and is no longer Christian. Episcopal Church: Christian? Based on everything I ...

DerpImagine my surprise. Instead of retracting his monumentally dumb post claiming that the White House flashed "applause" signs at the Tucson memorial, Jim "Dim" Hoft goes on the attack -- and it's just as lame and dishonest as the stupid post he refuses to correct. Hoft's weird fantasy: Figures. Charles Johnson’s ...

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 ...

Today, Fox News commentator Sarah Palin finally emerged from her bomb shelter to make a statement on the Giffords shooting. Her highly-scripted speech was read from a teleprompter (gasp!), and was very carefully written to evoke the maximum appeal to victimhood, while not backing down at all or taking any responsibility ...

I rarely start a post like this, but wow. CBS News published a new poll today, showing that a majority of Americans believe Jared Lee Loughner's politics were a factor in the Arizona mass murder. (With poll questions like this, It's always important to note: all it tells you is that a ...

Fox News continues promoting anti-science rubbish to the rubes, with an article about Eight Botched Environmental Forecasts. What do you notice about these "botched forecasts?" The most recent one they could find dates back to 2000, and all the others are much older. Here are the dates of these 8 "mistaken" ...

LGF reader Gus 802 pasted together this picture of the statement, which they placed as an advertisement ...

One of the craziest weirdos LGF has been following for years is a guy named Israel Shamir, a Russian-born bark-at-the-moon antisemite and Holocaust denier who used to write for the Saudi English-language journal Arab News. Here's an LGF Search page with some of our articles about this noxious psycho. After the ...

On Wednesday, Pamela "Shrieking Harpy" Geller took her Traveling Bigotry Roadshow to an NYU class on "Cultural Wars." As usual when she's trying to appear rational, Geller denied that she has a single prejudiced bone in her body; this is her schtick at personal appearances, while on her website she ...

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.

In an opinion column for Politico, conservative MSNBC host Joe Scarborough rips Sarah Palin, and calls on the GOP to "man up" and confront the populist right wing icon.

The editors at Fox Nation may have realized they were posting a link to a satirical article from the Onion, but they curiously forgot to mention it to the readers of their website. And the vast majority of those readers had no idea whatsoever that it was a joke, because it ...
