Troy Newman, head of extreme anti-abortion group Operation Rescue and board member of the Center for Medical Progress (whose deceptively edited "sting" videos attacking Planned Parenthood have set off a firestorm of dishonest right wing outrage), has been deported from Australia after arriving in the country despite having his visa ...

As usual, immediately following the horrific Oregon school shooting right wingers began shouting that it was "too soon" to talk about gun control. But far right pundit Michelle Malkin actually took it to the next level and proposed a "mandatory waiting period" for "anti-gun extremists." There needs to be a mandatory ...

Cyberstalker Chuck C. Johnson is circling the drain these days; since the racist nutcase was permanently banned from Twitter nobody much cares what he's doing any more. He's published a few articles at white nationalist sites like Takimag, and still posts to a Facebook account, but on balance he's done ...

The dim-witted propagandists of Breitbart "News" have been viciously attacking Pope Francis for the past two weeks, accusing the Pope of "slapping conservatives," "dissing" their hero Donald Trump, "failing social conservatives," pandering to "LGBT activists" and the "big gay hate machine," coddling undocumented immigrants, bashing free markets, falling for the ...

In Utah, Planned Parenthood has won the first round in court against Republican Governor Gary Herbert, getting a temporary injunction preventing him from revoking Planned Parenthood's contracts with state agencies. Herbert ordered these contracts voided based on (you guessed it) the deliberately deceptive videos produced by the Orwellian "Center for ...

YouTube I watched this absolutely disgraceful moment live this morning, as Rep. Jason Chaffetz tried to ambush Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards with a bizarre "chart" that purported to show that Planned Parenthood had nearly ceased providing breast exams and cancer screenings, while the number of abortions radically increased. Here's that "chart" ...

Christopher Halloran / Shutterstock.com With the ridiculous kangaroo court conducted against Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards today in the House of Representatives, Republicans everywhere are all worked up and trying to outdo each other with over-the-top attacks against the women's health organization. And nobody is further over the top than presidential candidate ...

Christopher Halloran / Shutterstock.com How unlikeable is presidential candidate Ted Cruz, anyway? So unlikeable even other Senate Republicans are sick and tired of him. On Monday night, Cruz's colleagues ignored his attempt to disrupt Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's efforts to fund the government without attacking Planned Parenthood. In an unusual ...

A number of states have launched investigations into Planned Parenthood after the release of the Center for Medical Progress's blatantly deceptive videos, including Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and South Dakota, and so far every state has completely vindicated the women's health organization of any and all wrongdoing. Today Missouri joins ...

Bad news for the GOP's Kamikaze Caucus today, as a new national poll from Quinnipiac University shows overwhelming opposition to shutting down the government over Planned Parenthood. Of course, this doesn't mean they won't try to do it anyway. Nearly seven in 10 Americans -- 69 percent -- oppose shutting down ...

Katherine Welles / Shutterstock.com In a move that's been coming for a long time, the far right of the Republican Party has finally gone so bonkers that House Speaker John Boehner is going to resign instead of dealing with these crazies any more. Mr. Boehner, 65, from Ohio, had struggled from ...

To no one's surprise, today Senate Democrats blocked the latest Republican spending bill that would have defunded Planned Parenthood, just as they promised. But get a load of how The Hill describes this: The Senate on Thursday rejected a short-term spending bill that would defund Planned Parenthood, thwarting the opening move ...

Tonight dictator-in-training Donald Trump actually said he wants the FCC to fine National Review editor Rich Lowry, and prevent him from appearing on television to criticize the mighty Trumpenstein. This tantrum started when Rich Lowry said Carly Fiorina “cut his balls off with the precision of a surgeon.” Incompetent @RichLowry lost ...

I'm still suspicious that the slap-fight between Donald Trump and Fox News is just the political equivalent of kayfabe. But this morning the Trumpenstein announced on Twitter that he won't appear on Fox News "for the foreseeable future," because they're treating him so "unfairly." The raging xenophobe who promises to ...

The Trumpenstein is taking out its competitors one by one; the latest Republican victim of its wrath is Scott Walker. And here's why Walker's bailing out: In the most recent CNN survey, Mr. Walker drew support nationally from less than one-half of one percent of Republican primary voters. Ouch.

Christopher Halloran / Shutterstock.com Ben Carson, in tried and true right wing fashion, isn't backing down on his bigoted statements about Muslims. In fact, today he not only doubled down, he got even worse. Carson explicitly advocated a religious test for public office, saying whoever is elected president should be "sworn in ...

Christopher Halloran / Shutterstock.com OK. It makes me really uneasy when Ted Cruz says something that isn't crazy. What kind of diabolical game is he playing?

The absurd notion that the man who asked Donald Trump the awful xenophobic question about getting rid of Muslims was a "liberal plant" is spreading through right wing blogs like wildfire. And let's face it, this is exactly the kind of idiocy you expect from the stupidest man on the Internet, ...

Conservative media has been busy spreading speculation that the xenophobic questioner at the Trump event last week concerned with Muslim "training camps" was actually a liberal plant looking to make the candidate and the party look foolish.

In one of the most pathetic examples this week of Republican foolishness, Arizona congressman Paul Gosar, a Catholic, has proudly announced that he's going to skip Pope Francis's speech to the House of Representatives, and you can probably guess why. Writing for far right website Town Hall, Gosar explains that he's ...
