Our article about pseudo-journalist Chuck C. Johnson's "men's rights advocate," Jeremiah True (who was arrested on Thursday for sexual abuse of under-age girls at a rugby practice session) apparently got the Ginger Avenger quite upset, sending him into a multi-tweet tirade filled with insults and personal attacks. So, win! In the ...

One of the horrible political developments of the past few years has been the complete acceptance of radical anti-Muslim hatred by the Republican Party. The nastiest bigoted conspiracy theories and fear-mongering have become totally mainstream GOP positions; fantasies about shariah law taking over America, accusations of terrorist ties against innocent ...

Media Matters MSNBC hosted a spokeswoman from a notorious anti-gay hate group twice in one day to discuss controversial "religious freedom" legislation, failing to identify her as an extremist who has opposed the decriminalization of gay sex. On April 1, American Family Association (AFA) spokeswoman Sandy Rios appeared twice on MSNBC ...

YouTube Indiana Gov. Mike Pence has been all over the media yesterday and today, pretending the "Religious Freedom Restoration Act" has nothing to do with discriminating against LGBT people, and today he announced that he'd push for a "clarification" of the bill, to show that it doesn't do that thing everybody ...

DERPJim Hoft, Dumbest Man on the Internet, has discovered the only evidence he needs to assert that Germanwings copilot Andreas Lubitz was A SECRET MUSLIM! Jim's evidence: a completely insane, over the top writer for a German anti-Muslim website who goes by the pseudonym "Michael Mannheimer" (real name: Karl-Michael Merkle), who ...

By now everyone's heard about the reports that a French prosecutor has alleged that copilot Andreas Lubitz deliberately crashed a Germanwings A320 into an alpine mountain late Tuesday. Key word, of course, being "alleged," because nothing has been determined for certain yet. But that doesn't stop the Stupidest Man on the ...

Since the 2016 race for the presidency is already heating up at this early stage, I thought it might be a good idea to post the most recent report--published on February 9, 2015, by the University of North Carolina and the Triangle Center on Terrorism and Homeland Security--regarding homegrown terrorism. ...

I have to confess that I'm totally unsurprised by the latest news on James O'Keefe's creepy subterfuge: Ex-Staffer Slams James O'Keefe: He Crossed a Line With Vile 'Kill Cops' Stunt. Richard Valdes, the former director of special operations for O'Keefe's organization Project Veritas, told TPM on Thursday that the guerrilla ...

Folks, we haven't written about the American Family Association's resident Old Testament loon Bryan Fischer recently, because he's like a broken record repeating the same idiotic hate speech over and over. But today he posted a video that breaks new ground for him. Because in response to a call from a ...

I don't trust any of the people involved in this story, neither the James O'Keefe associates nor the New York Post, but if true this could be the end of James O'Keefe's creepy business: Activist Allegedly Tried to Bait Protesters With 'Kill Cops' Script. A controversial conservative activist is being ...

Since Rudy Giuliani's ugly comments about President Obama not loving America, I've been making the point that Scott Walker is deliberately dodging the question because he simply can't afford to alienate the deeply deranged base of Republican voters if he plans to run for president. Today at the Washington Post, ...

Yes, Scott Walker is now going there: Walker Says He Is Unaware Whether Obama Is a Christian.

"Conservative intellectual" (and convicted felon) Dinesh D'Souza is going for our Horrible Right Wing Tweet of the Day award again, with that blatant racism he knows the right wing base gobbles up like noxious candy.

Last month, Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo announced on CNN that she planned to sue Fox News for defaming the city of Paris with their false claims about Muslim-controlled "no-go zones." (And I should add that conservatives all over the media are still repeating these false claims.) Today in Paris, the City ...

According to ...

I'll start this post by noting that if Brian Williams is found to have lied about his experiences in Iraq, it's a serious issue that needs to be addressed. But doubt remains about whether he deliberately embellished his story or is suffering from a false memory -- a very common ...

YouTube Right wing loons are always demanding that Muslims renounce terrorism and show their loyalty to the United States. And this is what happens when they do.
