Senators abandon honor to block health reform (video: The Rachel Maddow Show) Bad news for America-hating cons: You’re going to lose your fight to deny health reform to the American people. You can’t prey it away. You can’t lie it away. Please pack up and go away.

Republicans go nuclear with health reform distortions (video: The Rachel Maddow Show) Over at The Hill, Rep Anthony Weiner (D-NY) writes: I said it on Wednesday, and I’ll say it again: the Republicans really are just a wholly owned subsidiary of the insurance industry. Thursday’s summit proved it: They want to destroy Medicare, shovel money [...]

Rachel: You’ve got blood on your hands (video: The Rachel Maddow Show, via YouTube) After mentioning pop psychology practioner and christianist quack, Richard Cohen, earlier this morning, I did a quick blog search and discovered that I never quite got around to sharing this divine little moment from The Great Big Televised Book of Revelations. [...]

Rachel Maddow judges a conference by its swag (video: The Rachel Maddow Show) MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow traveled to the American Conservative Union’s annual conference — CPAC. Judging by the available crap, CPAC is up to its tea-bagging, birth-certificate-chasing, homophobic, Bible-banging, loony-tunes ass in nothing but merde. Hell! They’ve even got Santorum on the speaker’s podium, [...]

Right-wing disinformation campaign a resounding success (video: The Rachel Maddow Show) The other day, I provided an indication of the extreme intelligence deficit (EID) suffered by the Grande Obstructionist Party (GOP). Mea culpa. It’s a hobby of mine. At the time, only a small sample of the data from a recent survey was available. Last [...]

Repealing Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell (video: Hardball with Chris Matthews) Amid the onslaught of articles and opinions spawned by the opening of Congressional hearings on eliminating the US military’s Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy this morning, there were a few gems. The nation’s highest ranking uniformed officer, Joint Chief Chairman Admiral Michael Mullen, said: “No [...]

Prayer breakfast reflects poorly on Obama (video: The Rachel Maddow Show) A man is judged by the company he keeps, or so goes the old adage. It speaks volumes an entire frickin’ library that President Fierce Advocate for Gay & Lesbian Rights is intent on breaking fast with a bunch of unscrupulous theotards and their [...]

Military contractor corrects religious propaganda gaffe (video: The Rachel Maddow Show) I used to love going to In-and-Out for a burger — it’s a California thing. Then I discovered that underneath each soft drink paper cup was a reference to a Bible verse. I haven’t been back. I’d sooner down a secular burger at Hodads [...]

Massachusetts, meet Scott Brown (video: The Rachel Maddow Show) Abandoned former NOM spokesmodel Carrie Prejean jump-started her seemingly never-ending fifteen minutes as a beauty queen and evolved into a soft porn legend. Massachusetts senatorial candidate Scott Brown began as a soft porn celeb and may garner the Senate seat formerly held by the Lion of [...]

Shameful new low for Pat Robertson (video: The Rachel Maddow Show) The leading dim bulb of the conservative christianist right showed his true colors yesterday, when the Reverend Pat Robertson took a swing, not at they gays, nor at the Democrats, nor the President, but, rather, at the victims of the natural devastation that struck [...]

The case for gay marriage (video: The Rachel Maddow Show) On The Rachel Maddow Show last night: David Boies and Ted Olson, former adversaries on the 2000 election, now colleagues in opposing California’s Proposition 8, talk with Rachel Maddow about about the case they plan to make in support of gay marriage in America. If [...]

Gay marriage opponents win the right to hide (video: The Rachel Maddow Show) The anti-gays must be so very proud of themselves. It’s a crying shame that they’re forced to celebrate their tremendous victory in a darkened closet with a media blackout, so nobody finds out who they are or how much they hate a [...]

Blurring the line between church and state (video: The Rachel Maddow Show) It’s good to see Jim Burroway, of Box Turtle Bulletin, get a mention on The Rachel Maddow Show for his incredible work on the situation in Uganda. Check out Burroway’s timeline, called Slouching Towards Kampala: Uganda’s Deadly Embrace of Hate, that begins with [...]

Anti-gay hate monger Scott Lively delivers his ‘nuclear bomb’ (video: BoxTurtleBulletin at YouTube) Jim Burroway, of Box Turtle Bulletin, first alerted the world to the worsening situation for gay and lesbian Ugandans on 24 February 2009. What has since ensued is now relatively well-known: Three American anti-gay activists — associated with the radical religious right [...]

Traditional marriage champion Karl Rove divorces again (video: The Rachel Maddow Show) Over at their Culture and Media Institute, the Concerned Women for America don’t seem the least bit concerned about former Bush advisor and dirty-trickster Karl Rove not managing to preserve his second traditional marriage. They’d rather attack Rachel Maddow. Clearly concerned, Jeff Poor [...]
