It's been almost a week since I wrote anything about the Mighty Glenn Greenwald, but it seems the Mighty G has been thinking of me, despite the wonderful awards he's been receiving, because today he tweeted a link to the blog run by the extreme right wing Muslim-hating weirdos who've ...

The gays are going to force us all into tolerating them, Or kill us. Or tolerance-camp us. Something that requires a pre-emptive strike by the forces of decency...which will coincidentally take the form of policing the population for gayness, criminalizing gayness, and maybe forced reparitive therapy...in camps. And the occasional ...

If you've ever expressed a liberal political opinion on Twitter, you've seen them -- the rabid right wingers who feverishly tweet insults and long-debunked talking points at you, with no attempt at all to really debate anything. The worst ones are blatantly racist, homophobic, anti-Muslim religious fanatics whose online lives ...

I was looking for a picture of a gay Muslim wedding cake yesterday, just to poke fun at the wingnuts, but I found this Imam instead. He wasn't lost, of course; the rest of us were if we thought he couldn't exist. Imam Daayiee Abdullah. I didn't find a credit for the ...

You know how the right wing has always despised New Jersey Governor Chris Christie as a RINO, someone who's willing to make deals and compromises; in other words, a total loser? Well, suddenly Christie is back in the good graces of the right, and all it took was a massive corruption ...

Media Research Center is 'America's Media Watchdog,' a right wing propaganda outlet that calls itself 'The Leader in Documenting, Exposing and Neutralizing Liberal Media Bias.'

As Mitt Romney continued to make missteps in his statements on Benghazi, the GOP had to close ranks around him to protect his campaign. It started almost during the attack with Romney slamming Obama over his statements regarding the anti-islamic film that we now know with certainty instigated the attack. ...

The right wing narrative on the attacks against the American diplomatic mission in Benghazi is now well-established. It goes something like this: The Obama administration lied when they initially said the attack was provoked by an American-made anti-Islam video. Actually, it was a well-planned Al Qaeda terror attack that had ...

I have to admit I've never been a big fan of Martin Bashir's hyperbolic style, but it's more than a little pathetic to see MSNBC caving in to the right wing shriek machine, even after Bashir apologized and Sarah Palin accepted it: Martin Bashir Resigns From MSNBC. Note that Bashir's comment ...
