Here we go again with the right wing's bizarre obsession with evolution. For more than a century religious conservatives have been waging a war of denial against reality itself, and there's no sign of a cease fire yet. Rick Santorum has long been known as one of the GOP's most overt ...

If I hadn't seen this happen over and over and over at right wing websites, I might be shocked by the proud, open racism expressed by Fox News commenters in this article about Wyclef Jean's Haitian charity fund. WARNING: these quoted comments contain numerous racial slurs, so I've hidden them to ...

GOBBLE GOBBLE AKBAR!Yes, Pamela Geller is still at it, relentlessly ferreting out the hidden truth behind the appalling Butterball Shariah Turkey Infiltration Plot, or as she calls it: BURKABALL BUTTERBALL: 'BACTERIAL' KOSHER VS HOLY HALAL!!!!!! - Atlas Shrugs I haven't laughed this much at a fake right wing outrage since Jim ...

Hateblogger Pamela Geller is nothing if not persistent; in fact, she's the Energizer Bunny of anti-Muslim hate speech, and her utterly hilarious Butterball conspiracy theory is still going! Now she's accusing them of a "cover up." Wingnut comedy like this is impossible to write; only the authentically insane can maintain the ...

Forget everything you thought you knew about Michele Bachmann. Forget her claim that census data could be used to put people in concentration camps. Forget her crazy claim that Planned Parenthood is setting up "sex clinics" in schools, with free abortions for 13-year old girls. Forget her fanatical fundamentalism, and her bizarre claim ...

David Frum has a long piece in New York Magazine today, plaintively asking the question: When Did the GOP Lose Touch With Reality? It's an interesting read, a cry for help and a plea for the GOP to return to sanity, but it's also a complete waste of time. The Republican ...

As the Republican Party sinks ever deeper into anti-science denial, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has released a new report that concludes, in very cautious language, that at least some of the extreme weather events we've seen around the world are consequences of human-induced climate change. The findings ...

Perhaps we have become so numb to the political circus by now that we don't notice the extreme, but the Saturday November 19th GOP Presidential candidate Thanksgiving Family Forum (not really a "debate") in Iowa was more about religious identity than anything to do with Presidential responsibilities or the practice ...

I recently published a book in Norwegian attacking the counterjihadist movement, and the naiveté shown towards it by, for instance, Norwegian media. This has annoyed certain bloggers, including Baron Bodissey at Gates of Vienna, who promptly decided to attack me. Normally, I would not bother answering an article attacking me at ...

Oscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez has been charged with attempting to assassinate President Obama, and in light of the right wing blogosphere's ongoing attempts to link Ortega to the Occupy Wall Street protests, it should be pointed out that what we know so far about his delusional ideas falls much more in ...

Herman Cain's a godsend to those of us arguing that the modern Republican Party is, at its core, anti-science and anti-intellectual; we couldn't ask for a more direct expression of this contention than Cain's latest slogan: "We Need A Leader, Not A Reader." He goes all the way with this one, ...

Herman Cain's interview with GQ magazine shows him returning to the anti-Muslim hate-baiting that serves him so well with the Republican base. Apparently he thinks a little more bigotry can help him recover from his sexual harassment scandal. Herman Cain posing with anti-Muslim hate monger Pamela GellerDevin Gordon: What did ...

In the "foreign policy" debate tonight, all the front runners in the GOP debate expressed strong support for torturing and killing terrorists. You're probably as shocked as I am. Meanwhile, here in California, one of the commercial breaks was purchased by "Numbers USA," an anti-immigrant hate group that's part of the John ...

Anti-Muslim demagogues Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer have expressed their unqualified support for the fascist English Defence League on many occasions, despite the EDL's frequently violent demonstrations and the presence of many outright neo-Nazis among their ranks. Yesterday in Britain, police arrested nearly 200 members of the EDL for planning to ...

Herman Cain has launched a website called "CainTruth.com," along with a series of Google advertisements promoting it (they've appeared here at LGF, because Google Adsense serves ads based on keywords in the page's text). CainTruth.com is apparently dedicated to attacking and smearing the women accusing him of sexual harassment, and the ...

In the perpetual race to the bottom of a bottomless pit that is the right wing blogosphere, a new outrageous outrage has arisen, more outrageous than all the other fake outrages of wingnut history. My friends, can your hearts stand the awful truth of the Barack Hussein Obama Christmas Tree Tax?! You ...

Interesting development in the right wing war on women's rights: there are actually some religious groups beginning to get uncomfortable with the implications of the crazy far right agenda they've been supporting. Notably, the Mississippi Catholic Bishops: Religious Leaders Denounce Personhood Anti-Abortion Bill. This Tuesday, Mississippians will vote on Initiative ...

Today's story of outstanding right wing cognitive dissonance comes to us from the extreme anti-gay throwback group called the "Family Research Council," where they've given their "True Blue" award for "defending faith, family, and freedom" to Republican Rep. Joe Walsh -- who owes more than $100,000 in child support. “We ...

Imagine my surprise to learn that one of the would-be right wing terrorists arrested in Georgia this week was a commenter at Erick Erickson's RedState.com. Today, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution published a broader picture of the four men accused of the terror plan. Dustin Baker at the blog GAPolitico flags one ...

Four members of a Georgia militia have been charged by the FBI with plotting terror attacks using the biological poison ricin.

In her latest post Pamela Geller screeches: It is time there was a museum exhibit dedicated to the victims of jihad. Where is the Met's showcase of the lives and cultures and histories of the 270 million victims of over a millennium of jihadi wars, land appropriations, cultural annihilations, and ...

Finally, someone other than LGF is paying attention to the GOP's criminally stupid anti-science attitudes and their media enablers. Thank you, Jon Stewart: Video You can find a full transcript of the above segment here. Also a must-see is this Aasif Mandvi piece from the same show in which he interviews disgustingly ...

Anti-Muslim demagogue Pamela Geller rants and raves and spews bigoted hate speech and twisted conspiracy theories 24 hours a day, so she really shouldn't be surprised when reputable businesses don't want anything to do with her: Another hotel turns away Pamela Geller and anti-Shariah group. A week after a Hyatt ...

"Fjordman" (real name: Peder Are Nøstvold Jensen), the inspiration for Norwegian mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik and a tribal supremacist hatemonger exposed here at LGF in 2006 and 2007, is back to penning anti-Muslim Jeremiads regarding all things non-white and "non-traditional" in Europe. The thing about evil is that evil people ...

White supremacist James Edwards, host of the overtly racist Political Cesspool radio show in Tennessee, is gloating today that he got noticed by the "extremist left" after MSNBC political consultant Pat Buchanan appeared on his show: I must be doing something right | JAMES EDWARDS.
