Yahoo News reporter Hunter Walker has an interesting behind-the-scenes observation from last night's debate: Audible clapping and laughter in the press filing room after Bernie Sanders' "enough of the emails moment." — Hunter Walker (@hunterw) October 14, 2015 Here's a video clip of that moment: .@BernieSanders is also "sick & tired" hearing about ...

Reading over some of the right wing sites today is a view into a strange alternate universe where everything is reversed; to these folks, the Democratic debate was a crazy festival of socialism and the only person on the stage who was even remotely sane was... Jim Webb. Yes, the ...

Chuck Johnson's lawyer responds to the Gawker legal team's scathing answer to his third request for more time, by accusing them of floating "conspiracy theories," complaining that he's "reached physical exhaustion," and pleading with the judge to have mercy because he's just one guy helped out by one intern. Of course, ...

Here's our second thread to discuss the Democrats' debate -- a very different show than the Republican debates. At the GOP debates, all of the candidates had identical views on every issue. At this debate, there are real differences on real issues. It's refreshing.

I admit I was a little surprised to learn they actually rustled up five Democratic candidates to debate each other tonight: Hillary Clinton Bernie Sanders Martin O'Malley Lincoln Chafee Jim Webb If nothing else, this will be a good chance for everyone to be reminded how much they dislike Jim Webb. CNN isn't making an embeddable live ...

A few days ago the Internet's most incompetent "journalist" posted this on Facebook, denying early reports that he missed the deadline for filing his response to Gawker's motion to dismiss his lawsuit and their anti-SLAPP motion (that might end up costing Chuck a lot of money). And then, today his lawyer ...

Shapiro of the Corn Right wingers do this ridiculous word-twisting game all the time, distorting absolutely anything President Obama says to make it look like he's an evil tyrant who hates America. But this one is especially egregious and flat stupid, and it comes from Breitbart clown Ben Shapiro, published at ...

Christopher Halloran / Shutterstock.com As I noted yesterday, Republican politicians never, ever back down from a batshit crazy (and/or hateful) statement, and Bobby Jindal illustrates this axiom perfectly as he defends his vicious attack on the Oregon school shooter's father. Why is Jindal being such a horrible person? Because this grieving father ...

Rich Koele / Shutterstock.com If you've paid attention to right wing politics at all, you know that Republican politicians never, ever back down from a batshit crazy statement.

Ben Carson has really been on a roll this week, coming out with one stupid or offensive statement after another. He seems to trying his best to out-dumb Donald Trump. But perhaps the most offensive craziness he spouted was his suggestion that Nazi Germany was able to perpetrate the Holocaust because ...

SoundCloud I sometimes wonder if Pamela Geller ever gets tired of obsessively spewing this semi-literate nonsense about President Obama being a "Muslim commie atheist tyrant" who is stupid yet clever, weak yet all-powerful, sneaky yet obvious. But then I remember: the right wing rubes she's fleecing with this hate speech aren't gonna ...

In an interview with National Review, Rep.
