Alternet has a post about a ring of Tea Party conservatives on the very popular social media site Digg, who are systematically burying posts from progressive sites: Massive Censorship Of Digg Uncovered. I have no doubt that this is happening. But why wasn't Alternet or the left wing blogosphere equally concerned ...

If you thought the recent right wing push to repeal part of the US Constitution’s 14th amendment and take away automatic birthright citizenship was just a wacky idea from the Rand Paul fringe, think again. Lindsey Graham eyes ‘birthright citizenship’. And in his statement on Fox News (where else?), Graham resorted ...

Glenn Beck goes completely batshit crazy here, barking and ranting like a lunatic in the throes of a full-out psychotic break — and says the Obama administration is planning to murder Tea Partiers and Ron Paul supporters. Un. Freaking. Believable. Beck is crazy all the time, so you may not get it ...

Arizona Republican Sheriff Paul Babeu is a frequent guest on Fox News, vigorously defending Arizona’s new immigration law on at least 18 occasions.

I’ve occasionally had differences with the NAACP, but in this case they’re absolutely right — it’s long past time for Tea Party organizers to take a stand against the significant racist element in their movement: NAACP Passes Tea Party Racism Resolution. The resolution was approved in a vote by more ...

The strange uneasy tea party coalition of Ron Paul paleo-libertarians and religious right conservatives is crumbling, as their irreconcilable differences on foreign policy emerge. (CNN) – Sarah Palin and Ron Paul are two darlings of the Tea Party movement, but their views on military spending could hardly be more different. Palin, ...

Tea partiers and far right ideologues are angry at Rand Paul for taking GOP money. Rand Paul’s campaign manager Jesse Benton explains: The GOP primary was a battle for the direction of the party, and Paul won it with his platform of requiring balanced budgets and complete opposition to bailouts, said ...

Yesterday Rand Paul, the rising star of the Republican Party, compared the United States to the Roman Empire in its last days. This sort of rhetoric is indistinguishable from the anti-American rants of Al Qaeda, and it’s now standard tea party fare. Why does Rand Paul hate America? SHEPHERDSVILLE, Ky. — ...

Recently we’ve had several front page posts about Arthur Robinson, the GOP mutant candidate for Oregon’s 4th Congressional District, and his incredibly strange views on … well, everything. In addition, LGF reader freetoken put together an excellent Page on Robinson’s Christian Dominionist connections. But it gets worse: Oregon GOP Congressional Candidate ...

Here we go. In their desperation to do anything possible to obstruct financial regulatory reform, House Republicans are going to align themselves with the keynote speaker of the John Birch Society’s 50th anniversary convention — Ron Paul: GOPers To Push Fed Audit. House GOPers will make a push to audit ...

David Frum is finding out just how mean-spirited and vindictive the right wing blogosphere can be, as his request to join the “conservative Blogads network” is rejected by dim bulb John Hawkins: Responding to John Hawkins. Observe a few things: 1) Observe that Hawkins does not say, “We denied FrumForum admission ...

From PageOneKentucky.com, here’s a video of GOP candidate Rand Paul addressing a convention of Christian homeschoolers, and dodging a question about the age of the Earth.

Man, these guys rock like nobody else. Them Crooked Vultures, an alt-rock super group featuring Dave Grohl, John Paul Jones, and Josh Homme, perform “Gunman” from their terrific first album. Dave Grohl is a beast. I dare you not to start head-banging. [Video]

Yes, this is the second post about Glenn “Manbaby” Beck today, because on his radio show he managed to top his hero-worship of Joe McCarthy, by saying that race relations went wrong “in the lead-up to the Civil War.” Because according to Beck, before that “we were moving on the right ...

The big blogosphere story today is that libertarian (and Rand Paul apologist) Dave Weigel has resigned from the Washington Post after a series of emails were leaked from “Journolist” in which Weigel bashed conservatives using very strong language; here’s the apology Weigel posted yesterday: Right Now - An apology to ...

Lunatic Rand Paul announced today that he wants to change the US Constitution to take away the right to automatic citizenship for children born in the United States. Rand Paul is a big believer in the US Constitution. Except those parts of it that have to do with civil rights and ...

Crazy Uncle Ron Paul continues demonstrating why his star is on the rise in the Republican Party — because he doesn’t care about the fallout. He’ll go right to the most extreme position every time, and leave the door open for the rest of the GOP to follow: Rep. Paul ...

For some reason, New York Times writer Brian Stelter goes very easy on Judge Andrew Napolitano in this article about Napolitano’s new freakshow on Fox Business; for example, there’s no mention of the fact that Napolitano has featured conspiracy nutjob and 9/11 Truther Alex Jones as a guest on “Freedom ...

Tim Blair thinks people have only started leaving anti-Israel comments at LGF since my new “leftish conversion.” He says these are my “new friends.” Blair, you ignorant slut. People have been leaving anti-Israel comments at LGF for many years. It happens every time there’s a phony international incident like this. The ...

In an interview with Don Imus, Ron Paul calls for the US to abandon Israel, calls Gaza a “concentration camp,” and recites a litany of anti-Israel talking points, including the canard that Israel is starving the people of Gaza. One of the biggest influences on the modern Republican Party sounds just ...

The Kansas City Star’s Jason Whitlock gets it exactly right in this commentary on Rand Paul’s Civil Rights Act dust-up: Commentary: Rand Paul’s calculated Civil Rights faux pas. Rand Paul is not as politically unsophisticated as the media, tea party organizers and Republican strategists would like you to believe. In the ...
