This conservative columnist for the Miami Herald (and Fox News contributor) may be the most desperate person on the internets: UPDATE: Still in denial, she later tweeted, “None of this story adds up. Even if a ‘white supremacist,’ their targets/hatred isn’t usually church-going African-Americansty” Huh?!? She got a lot of blowback and has sense set her Twitter account to private.
Palin Word Salad Of The Day
The Great Pundit takes on Rachel Dolezal, the white woman who pretended to be black, who headed up the Spokane chapter of the NAACP.

But it’s … Read More

Another crazed anti-Muslim right winger — this one in Phoenix — is planning to hold a ‘Draw Muhammad’ Contest right in front of the Islamic Community Center.

You Go, Girl — Uh — John Cole!
At Balloon Juice, John Cole – a better writer than me (not a high bar, I confess) — puts words to my sentiments: [I]f one more motherfucker tells me that unless I stand up and yell “You go girl” every time Pam Geller opens her noxious piehole to spew venom that I am responsible for creeping Sharia and am a hopeless … Read More
Geller: Blaming Me For Texas Shooting Is Like Blaming A Woman For Her Own Rape
Bill O’Reilly says he would have done it “another way”. But that’s not the worst of it. Greta Van Susteren — also on Fox — editorialized against Geller: Van Susteren said that while the group has the right to exercise free speech, they should not have knowingly endangered police officers by doing do. “It is one thing for someone to stand … Read More
How Abhorrent Is Pam Geller?
Want a good measurement of the toxicity level of Pamela Geller, whose American Freedom Defense Initiative worked so hard for so long to attract the sort of violence that struck its Muhammad Art Exhibit and Cartoon Contest in Texas on Sunday?

Pity The Rich
Monday night, Bill O’Reilly wanted you to know about America’s poor, put-upon rich people. “[Y]ou can see that taxes are through the roof on affluent Americans and business profits.But for the rest of Americans, things are not so bad.

Our Favorite Ex-Congresswoman Predicts The End Of Times
Go ahead, Michele Bachmann. Break out your “THE END IS NEAR” sign. You know you want to.

Boston Marathon And Memory Lane
The Boston Marathon is happening right now, and like last year, I’m sure I’m not the only one holding my breath, and hoping for a safe run. Then again, with all the security, it’s probably the safest place on the planet right now. Anyway, here’s how I covered it two years ago. By the way, two years ago this week, … Read More
Whiny White Man Whines
Bill O’Reilly lays down the law because he’s white, Christian and oppressed. Not that gender matters and not that he’s using his victimhood to bash a female candidate or anything: If you are a Christian or a white man in the U.S.A. it’s open season on you. Therefore Hillary Clinton has an advantage. She can run a general campaign, first … Read More

Michele Fiore Tries Even Harder To Replace Bachman
It was only a few weeks ago that I wrote about Michele Fiore, a local congresswoman in Nevada, where I wondered aloud if she was to become the next Michelle Bachman. It seems that she’s still trying to win my heart, using an offensive racial term common in the 1960s to describe an African American colleague. Assemblywoman Michele Fiore, R-Las Vegas, … Read More
Right Wing Begins To Eat Itself
Here’s the thing about rampant fear — it’s rampant. This is a perfect example of how islamophobia – now a staple of America’s right – has run amok. Not only are conservatives freaking out about scary secret Muslims on the left; they are now seeing and fearing them on the right: Glenn Beck is threatening to quit the National Rifle Association over the … Read More
