Pamela Geller’s appearance last night on the Joy Behar show with Ron Reagan and Stephanie Miller perfectly demonstrates why Geller has become known on the Internet as the “shrieking harpy.” Geller actually seems to think she came off well on this show, in which she tells Ron Reagan what his own ...

Among the other right wing talking points Sarah Palin hammered in her $100,000 Tea Party Convention speech: that Obama uses a teleprompter. I know. The horror. Only a commie would use such an infernal device, right? Why, I’ll betcha that no politician ever used one before Obama was elected! Palin can proudly ...

Here’s the feed from the National Tea Party Convention in Nashville, with ex-governor Sarah Palin scheduled to take center stage in about 15 minutes. Right now there’s a blindingly dull panel discussion on “The Future of Tea Parties.”

Since I began to break ranks with the right wing noisemakers, I’ve been receiving an average of five hate mails every single day, often more. Sometimes it’s the same person over and over. Once someone sent me more than three dozen emails in about 10 minutes before I blocked his IP ...

Imagine my surprise that linking to a piece about a disturbing Daily Kos/Research 2000 poll of Republicans prompted several hyper-emotional meltdowns in our comments, and three hate mails so far today. Apart from the insult-spewers, though, many readers wanted to know exactly which questions were asked, and where the samples came ...

A new poll conducted among 2,000 self-identified Republicans by Daily Kos and Research 2000 shows that the Republican base is possibly even crazier than I previously thought: Poll: Republicans Think Obama Is A Socialist, And Palin More Qualified To Be President. %%LIST=39% of Republicans want President Obama to be impeached. 63% think ...

The crazy convergence of tea parties, Sarah Palin, and paleo-nutjob Ron Paul is picking up speed, as Palin endorses Ron Paul’s son Rand for the Kentucky Senate primary. If someone had told me a few years ago that the Republican Party would be this far off the rails in 2010, I ...

In many ways I have an enormous amount of respect for Dennis Prager; unlike some of his fellow talk radio hosts, he gets deep into the issues, and for the most part refrains from demagoguery. And he and I have many things in common, particularly an understanding of the danger ...

Erick Erickson of RedState.com (of all people) notices that among Sarah Palin’s fan base there are more than a few who are somewhat, uh, overenthusiastic.

You have to wonder what they’re afraid of. Word from Nashville on Monday was that the First National Tea Party Convention next month will be closed to the press, other than for a limited number of “selected” journalists. No word on who or how many. This from the people who brought ...

Former John McCain campaign strategist Steve Schmidt now says Sarah Palin has trouble with the truth.

So I have this Mac Pro desktop machine, that I got in April 2008: the 2.8GHz quad-core Intel Xeon model. When Amazon delivered it into my eager hands and I first powered it up, it was almost totally silent. It was excellent for recording, video-making, anything that required a quiet ...

On 60 Minutes last night, former John McCain campaign strategist Steve Schmidt went rogue, revealing that the McCain staff was very concerned that Sarah Palin’s debate with Joe Biden was going to be “a debacle of historic and epic proportions.” And Palin couldn’t stop referring to Biden as “O’Biden.” CBS Video
