I'll start this post by noting that if Brian Williams is found to have lied about his experiences in Iraq, it's a serious issue that needs to be addressed. But doubt remains about whether he deliberately embellished his story or is suffering from a false memory -- a very common ...

DERPJim Hoft goes to Washington, because no right wing scheme is complete without the participation of the Internet's Dumbest Man. Am flying off to DC. Last flight from there was with @TookieW ... Miss him @DLoesch @ChrisLoesch @HatingBreitbart -- Jim Hoft (@gatewaypundit) June 3, 2013 I look forward to laughing at whatever ...

So what's the wingnut parrot's chorus freaking out about today? A quick look at the right wing echo chamber reveals that they're all lathered up about this idiotic story from Weekly Standard fake outrage peddler Daniel Halper: OBAMA FAILS TO SALUTE MARINE! | the Weekly Standard Under gray skies and intermittent ...

MSNBC Video I was pleasantly surprised last night when Rachel Maddow showed a screen shot from LGF to illustrate her piece on the right wing's continual invention of loony conspiracy theories about the President. Here's the LGF article she used: Breitbart Blogger Dan Riehl on the Trail of a Bombshell Obama ...

DERPMany people have been amused lately at "Gateway Pundit" Jim Hoft's seething hatred of Todd Akin, most beautifully expressed in his post He May Bring Down the GOP – But Todd Akin Honey Badger Don't Give a Sh*t. Why would Jim Hoft, a birther who occupies the outer fringe of unfettered ...

For the most part, the right wing blogs have been desperately trying to ignore Romney's amazing gaffeage in Britain, but one wingnut among them ventured fearlessly into the fray. Another classic outburst from proud Internet caveman Dan Riehl, who clearly doesn't appreciate our shared "Anglo-Saxon heritage:" A Limp Wrist-Ed David Cameron Hits ...

Another day, another right wing fake outrage, as the entire wingnut blogosphere erupts in idiocy over a Politico Drudge-baiting report that the Secret Service confiscated the forks and knives after dinner at President Obama's NALEO speech. It doesn't take a genius to see how the wingnut crowd is going to spin ...

Adam Serwer, writing about Huslter Magazine's despicable portrayal of conservative S.E. Cupp, made a great observation: Where conservatives look at the Hustler "parody" as indicative of liberal contempt for conservative women, feminists see a larger problem about how women are treated that affects everything from health insurance to how much ...

After Breitbart blogger Dan Riehl's sexist comments about Joan Walsh were publicized, Mediaite's Tommy Christopher asked Dana Loesch for a comment, which makes sense given that Loesch works at Breitbart.com and frequently claims that the War on Women is a liberal conspiracy. Loesch, as is her usual practice, refused ...

Here's Dan Riehl, a Breitbart.com writer who's on Mitt Romney's list of approved bloggers, reacting to Salon editor Joan Walsh's criticisms of Andrew Breitbart: I don't mind Joan Walsh getting low, but if she's going to open her mouth, wish she'd do something I might actually enjoy for once! — DanRiehl (@DanRiehl) ...

This last 7 days has been a real banner week for the blogging heirs of Andrew at Breitbart.com; one stunning non-story after another, each one billed as a BOMBSHELL EXCLUSIVE, getting progressively more ridiculous in a crescendo of Obama-hating wingnuttery, building to a denouement of derp. I think we should commemorate ...

Today, Breitbart.com ace blogger Dan Riehl tweeted the latest conspiracy theory to hit the wingnut blogosphere: RT @AureliusPundit: Did White House dr Photo of President "Throwing" Football?- tinyurl.com/cdg8z7c — DanRiehl (@DanRiehl) May 21, 2012 The link goes to "Pundit Press," where "Aurelius" is analyzing the pixels in a photo tweeted by the ...

The heirs of Andrew at Breitbart.com have managed to turn the site into a total laughing stock; if you were ever curious what a rabidly partisan website utterly divorced from logic, reality, and simple decency looks like, here you go: Breitbart.com. The Breitbrats are coming unglued today about the Washington Post ...

Esquire's Charles Pierce on Mitt Romney's meeting with right wing media and wingnut bloggers like Dan Riehl: In Which Mitt Romney Charms the 'Base'. It seems that they rolled out the Romneybot 2.0 for a meeting with some of the true conservative cognoscenti, intelligentsia, and pudding-fondlers. OK, all things considered, ...

Here's the background on this amazingly lengthy series of diatribes spewed at me on Twitter in the past day or two: In Which CNN Contributor Dana Loesch Falsely Accuses Me of Using a Racial Slur. After I posted that article, Loesch went nuts -- tweeting insults at me over and over ...

Here's a tale of a wingnut gotcha gone horribly wrong. One of the people I block on Twitter because his tweets are a never-ending cascade of derp is Blue Collar Todd, a far right religious fanatic who specializes in the "I'm rubber, you're glue" style of right-wing blogging, accusing left ...

DERPDemonstrating the incredibly high journalistic standards of Breitbart.com, today Dan Riehl manages to screw up a simple fact in the very first sentence of his latest inept attack on President Obama: NH Gov: Three Years In, Obama Still Unqualified for Presidency. New Hampshire Gov. John Sununu (R) and other local Romney supporters ...

Dan Riehl, one of the star bloggers at Breitbart.com (one of his recent race-baiting posts got the coveted Drudge link there), is also known as one of the most inadvertently hilarious writers in the wingnut blogosphere. Not as dim as Jim Hoft, of course; no one is. But Dan has ...

Here's wingnut blogger Dan Riehl again, with an incoherent post attacking me and defending John Derbyshire's twisted racist article, while recounting a sad tale from his youth fighting in the streets against gangs of black kids: Riehl World View: The Left's Misguided Attack on John Derbyshire. However, I do remember ...

How interesting! This morning I had a look at that Dan Riehl thread at Breitbart.com that was full of racist insanity, and discovered that administrators have been quietly deleting comments. So, after Riehl and "Investigative Writer" Mandy Nagy spewed insults at me all day yesterday on Twitter, and denied any responsibility ...

NOT MY PROBLEMSince I posted yesterday about Dan Riehl's ugly race-baiting article at Breitbart.com and the deluge of overtly racist comments that followed, hundreds more comments have been posted there: Hoodie-Wearing Gunmen Kill 1, Wound 5 in Bobby Rush's Chicago District. None of the sickening hate speech quoted in our previous ...

Here's Dan "Darker Means Guiltier" Riehl again at Breitbart.com, with another blatantly race-baiting post: Hoodie-Wearing Gunmen Kill 1, Wound 5 in Bobby Rush's Chicago District. No point in quoting this; I'll just give you the short version. Blacks, crime, hoodies, blacks, crime, Black Panthers. Also, blacks. Riehl's audience at Breitbart.com takes it ...

In the strange logic-deprived world of Breitbart.com blogger Dan Riehl, Barack Obama is somehow to blame for a Twitter account with the name "Kill Zimmerman:" Blame Palin? 'Kill Zimmerman' Twitter Account Launched. Here's Dan "Darker is Guiltier" Riehl, connecting the dots: DERPBarack Obama has remained silent as the usual suspects have ...

Dan Riehl's weird wingnut thinking goes beyond parody today, as he screams that the black man in the White House is Leading a Lynch Mob After Zimmerman. And he's using one of the most dreaded tools in his arsenal to do it -- the hooded sweatshirt, known as a "hoodie" to ...
