Edward Snowden has won the support of extreme right wing anti-choice former Senators, racist Birther Fox News hosts, and now he's getting some more extremist love from the crazed libertarian "Patriot" militia known as the Oath Keepers. NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden has earned quite a following, sometimes in unlikely quarters. ...

The only really surprising thing about this story is that it was broken by wingnut website The Washington Free Beacon: Rand Paul Staffer Has History of Neo-Confederate Sympathies. Ron and Rand Paul: two branches of the same poisoned tree, allies to neo-Confederates, racists and white supremacists. A close aide to Sen. ...

There's a good chance Ron Paul's followers will do something crazy tonight, and an even better chance that Rand Paul will say something crazy. Also on the bill: anti-choice fanatic Mike Huckabee followed by pro-choice "moderate Republican" Condoleezza Rice. So that should be good for a little cognitive whiplash. Here's the ...

As the Ron Paul supporters hoot in the bleachers and the talking heads talk, here's an open thread as Romney's delegate count approaches the 1,144 needed for this charade to be over.

Here's a case study in why the right wing should not be trusted, in anything they say or try to do, because they simply lie and make things up. The Daily Caller is hyping a survey by the "non-partisan" Doctor Patient Medical Association that says: Report: 83 Percent of Doctors Have ...

Rick Santorum has won the Oklahoma and Tennessee primaries, and he's now beginning his victory speech in Steubenville, Ohio, so here's another thread to discuss... Delegates won so far: Romney: 81 Gingrich: 34 Santorum: 25 Ron Paul: 0 (sorry, Paulians)

Sat, Feb 11, 2012 at 11:05:57 am
The thing about Rick Santorum is that he's genuine. He really believes that anti-science reactionary bullshit he spouts. He's not just saying it to get elected, unlike Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich. The reactionary Republican base senses this genuineness; they see Santorum as one of them. And this has now catapulted ...

Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul continues to evade responsibility for the ugly, deranged newsletters he sold for many years; recently he claimed that "only 8 to 10 sentences were offensive," out of all these newsletters. This, dear readers, is what is commonly known as "an outright lie." And today The New ...
