Today at the always-berserk Breitbart.com -- a post by "Virgil" lavishing praise on the paranoid far right Cold War screed "None Dare Call It Treason," complete with a photo of President Obama looking sinister: Obama, Egypt, and Israel: None Dare Call It Treason, Fifty Years Later. It goes on and on, ...

Psychologists have an acronym for what Mitt Romney is doing here: DARVO. It stands for Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender: Romney on Debates: Obama Will 'Say Things That Aren't True'. With the first presidential debate less than three weeks away, Mitt Romney is spending lots of time getting ...

The meeting of religious fanatics and social conservative lunatics known as the Values Voter Summit gets under way today in its usual caveman fashion, as Republican congressman Tim Huelskamp calls Planned Parenthood "racist baby killers", compares women's reproductive rights to slavery, and repeats the usual right wing lies about Obamacare ...

When the news from Libya broke, the right wing blogosphere immediately went into frantic conspiracy theorizing mode, circulating false rumors like hyperactive weasels with fully functioning human brains, including a ridiculous story that the Marines guarding the Cairo embassy were forbidden to carry live ammunition by the State Department. This conspiracy ...

I have previously (here and here) argued that there exists a myth that President Obama is a big-spending socialist, calling it nothing short of an outright lie. Summarizing the two previous articles, it is clear that federal spending, taxes and the deficit are all lower than what they were on the ...

Sandra Fluke will be speaking very soon, and here's a second thread for the second day of the Democratic National Convention. Here's some of what the lovely people from Breitbart.com have been tweeting tonight: What we learned at #DNC2012: Democrats hate God and Israel. I have video if anyone wants to ...

You may not have noticed any visible changes at LGF recently, but behind the scenes major infrastructure work has been under way, and the site is now powered by totally valid HTML5 code. This was a bit trickier than I thought it would be when I started; some of the LGF ...

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 ...

Well, the Republican Party has pretty much lost every black person in America, so now they're working on a similar strategy for Latinos by inviting Arizona's far right anti-immigrant Birther Sheriff Joe Arpaio to speak at the Republican National Convention. Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio is scheduled to speak to ...

GOP officials are trying their hardest to contain the fallout from the reprehensible comments made by Missouri Congressman Todd Akin, who is seeking a US Senate seat in a race against Claire McCaskill. Even Presidential candidate Mitt Romney and his vice president nominee Paul Ryan called on Akin to quit ...

Sure, practically every Republican politician in America is denouncing Todd Akin, but as usual with Republicans, what they say is meaningless. It's what they do that counts. And in Tampa, the Republican platform committee has rejected rape exceptions in the 2012 party platform. TAMPA, Fla. — Even as Mitt Romney sought ...

In the time-honored Republican tradition, Todd Akin is trying to capitalize on having said something weird and disgusting by dunning his supporters for money. On a website that features a background image of ... a fetus. Yes! Really. It's impossible to make up things like this: Still Standing | Todd Akin ...

Iowa Rep. Steve King, who appeared on a panel discussion with white supremacists at the last CPAC convention, is in the news today for saying something every bit as stupid and hateful as Rep. Todd Akin's "legitimate rape" comments. King says he didn't want to give his thoughts on Akin's ...

Dana Loesch was one of the first to get out there and defend Rep. Todd Akin (R-12th Century), and today on her radio show she ranted at the Republican Party for not following her lead and supporting the beleaguered caveman from Missouri. Media Matters Related: Dana and Chris Loesch Defend Akin's 'Legitimate Rape' ...

President Obama made a surprise visit to the White House briefing room today for some comments about Todd Akin and the Republican Party's "legitimate rape" craziness: Obama: 'Rape Is Rape'. President Obama weighed in on the national storm surrounding by Rep. Todd Akin, calling his comments "offensive." "The views expressed were ...

Mitt Romney sticks his finger in the wind, triangulates the necessary political coordinates, and issues a statement. “Congressman’s Akin comments on rape are insulting, inexcusable, and, frankly, wrong,” Romney said. “Like millions of other Americans, we found them to be offensive.” But Romney has a problem. His running mate Paul ...

Proving that there is nothing too dumb to defend for a member of the Breitbart Brigade, former tea partier, receiver of massive government subsidies, and conservative speaker Chris Loesch took to Twitter to claim that Todd Akin's absurd comments about rape were "medically correct." In case you've been temporarily ...

If you can believe this, Republicans and right wing bloggers are now demanding that Joe Biden be replaced on the Obama campaign ticket. Sarah Palin's word salad on this subject is especially ripe with fragrant irony: There weren't enough groans and boos when he said such a disgusting comment, really, especially ...

I haven't looked at Fox Nation comments in a while, but when I happened to see a tweet about their article on the Family Research Council shooting, I clicked through -- and I think they might be getting even more insane and full of rage, if that's possible. Fox subtly titled ...

YouTube Video Here's American Family Association fundamentalist loon Bryan Fischer with energy industry shill Cal Beisner, congratulating Mitt Romney on his selection of Paul Ryan -- because Ryan's anti-science views on climate change and the environment are every bit as insane as theirs: Fischer and Beisner Praise Ryan's 'Biblical View of ...

Dan Goodin at Ars Technica cites a new report from researchers at security firm Barracuda Labs, which concludes that 15 percent of Mitt Romney's Twitter followers are paid fakes. (Comes as no surprise to me: Is Mitt Romney Buying Twitter Followers?) The report comes from researchers at security firm Barracuda Labs, and it ...

Breitbart.com raver "William Bigelow" (who may or may not be a real person), last seen at LGF when he was assuring the wingnut audience that there was no such thing as a "white Hispanic," gives us our fear-mongering all-caps headline of the day, complete with a scary burqa dominating a ...

Mitt Romney is lying again: Romney Falsely Claims Obama Filed Lawsuit to Restrict Military Voting. Today on Facebook, Mitt Romney claims that the Obama campaign is trying to “undermine” the ability of members of the military to vote in Ohio: President Obama’s lawsuit claiming it is unconstitutional for Ohio to ...

A new Super Pac working to get Mitt Romney elected goes by the name FightBigotry.com, and if you know how Republicans operate you can probably already guess that they're not "fighting bigotry" at all. In actuality, this is a horribly bigoted group promoting an agenda of "reverse racism," telling white ...

So a guy upset about the Battle of Chik-Fil-A recorded a video of himself going through the drive-through line to get a free cup of water and express his displeasure about the company's policies: Yes, the guy was rude. And it was wrong of him to take out his anger ...
