Former GOP Rep. Jim Leach (Photo by Tim Schoon) A group of former GOP congress critters, appalled at seeing their party fly off the rails and nominate Donald Trump for president, has issued a letter condemning the tiny-fisted fascist as “manifestly unqualified” for the office.

For months cyberstalker Chuck C. Johnson and his racist pal Pax Dickinson have been hyping and promising and conning right wing rubes into sending them money for a "never before seen video" of Barack Obama visiting Kenya in 1990. Johnson and Dickinson have been telling the rubes the "damning video" will ...

RNC communications director Sean Spicer I'm so old I remember when the Willie Horton attack ad on 1988 Democratic presidential nominee Michael Dukakis was considered a supremely ugly example of Republican racism and race-baiting. Lee Atwater, the infamous campaign manager of Dukakis' GOP opponent, George H.W. Bush, said, "By the ...

YouTube (As I write this, Trump is more than 90 minutes late for his appearance in Manheim, Pennsylvania.) A tweet I posted today went viral, and was even retweeted by the Clinton campaign's @TheBriefing2016 account. Read this transcript of what Hillary said in the leaked audio last February; this is what the ...

In the debate Monday night, Hillary Clinton laid a trap for Donald Trump by bringing up Trump's ugly misogynistic and bigoted comments about former Miss Universe Alicia Machado. Trump was obviously surprised, repeating "Where did you get this? Where did you get this?" in a petulant voice as Clinton described ...

One of the laws of the Internet is that online polls -- the kind that let anyone vote by clicking a "submit" button -- are completely unscientific, meaningless, and easy to spam. They're intended to be fun, and nothing more. These types of polls usually have some very weak methods that ...

Well, here's our wrap-up thread for tonight's debate. I'm sure Donald Trump's fans think he did tremendously well! but by any objective measure he was soundly thrashed by Hillary Clinton tonight. Yes, he lied constantly, as everyone knew he would. He lied about supporting the Iraq War, he lied about his ...

After saying earlier today that he was not sorry for his tweet saying motorists should run over protesters, blogger/law professor Glenn Reynolds is now apologizing for it, sort of.

NH Rep.

Sometimes it still amazes me how extreme and hateful the right wing blogosphere has become. Today's example: Glenn Reynolds, who has been blogging as "Instapundit" for years, suspended from Twitter for an ugly tweet advocating that motorists should run over protesters. Reynolds is a tenured law professor at the University of ...

Donald Trump has really been working on his "African American outreach" effort lately, because he dimly recognizes that having zero percent support is probably bad, and today we learned the next step in this outreach initiative to blacks and minorities: a nationwide stop-and-frisk policy. He thinks it worked out great in ...

The far right propagandist who runs Breitbart "News," Stephen Bannon, is now also Donald Trump's campaign CEO.
