Gary Bauer: No difference between progressives and terrorists

Poor oppressed Christian Gary Bauer: “Progressives and Islamists are indeed on the same side. Their common disdain for Christianity explains why left-wing judges in America find any inkling of Christianity in the public square unconstitutional, while Islamist judges in the Middle East deem it executable.” Only, that’s total bullshit. Wake me when we start beheading [...]

The Quotable Rude Pundit

“1. What the fuck was that? No, really. Before it happened, Beck was promising nothing short of a “miracle.” Instead, what we got was a Very Special Episode of The Glenn Beck Show, starring Glenn Beck as the lovable lump Glenn Beck, featuring the Glenn Beck Minstrels. It was terrible and boring and old and [...]

The low-down on Alveda, the black sheep of the King family

Salon.com’s War Room has a must-read on the radical religious right’s latest attention-ho anti-gay, anti-choice voice, (she’s not a real) Dr Alveda Beal King.

The Quotable Sarah Posner

“At Newsweek, Lisa Miller writes, ‘The Christian right is now poised to become a women’s movement — and Sarah Palin is its earthy Jerry Falwell.’ “That’s a major prediction, and not one that is suggested either by the past or the present. In some ways, the Christian right has always been a movement about women [...]

Bill the oil companies

Here’s a thought: You know those hideous (so-called) ‘truth trucks‘ with the oversized, anti-gay and anti-choice graphics that the freakier elements of the extreme religious reich like to drive around and around and around — wasting fossil fuel, I might add? We needs to get us an entire fleet of those effen trucks plastered with [...]

Sarah Palin Toss 2010

Would tossing Sarah ‘Drill, Baby, Drill’ Palin into a volcano appease the oil spill gods?

Shouldn’t actually be [...]

Jefferson pwns Palin and her God

Olbermann: “Palin wants America to return to the way it used to be in 1775 — which might explain why a new poll finds that the libertarian constitutionalist half of the tea party wants nothing to do with her.” (video: Countdown with Keith Olbermann) Keith Olbermann: Who is running Sarah Palin? God is! She tells [...]

Palin survived Canada’s ‘death panels’

Apparently Canada’s death panels were kind to the reigning queen of American tea-baggers.

Sarah Palin — who has gone to great lengths [...]
