Faux feminists and the Palin obsession

Say what you will, but Robin Morgan is a funny lady, and is so even when I’m disagreeing, I’m laughing. Her latest target is the minority of self-described feminists who are either wildly racist or just have lost their minds known as PUMAs, though Morgan redubs them as Spalinists, probably…

Fruit flies, post-abortion syndrome, and other adventures in wingnut hostility to science

Apparently, Sarah Palin’s mocking fruit fly research in her stump speeches about those horrible earmarks that escape during the middle of the night to molest children and use up the last part of your toilet paper roll without replacing it. As Kevin Berger notes, anyone with a 5th grade education…

Zombie Walk coincides with Palin appearance in Asheville

“I mean, when you see 700 shambling dead zombies walking toward the Civic Center up the bridge, it would probably get the Secret Service’s attention. So we gave them a heads up on it to make sure they know we’re not doing any kind of protest or (are a) threat…

Another reason theocrats will never be satisfied

Jill has a good post up about the interview between Sarah Palin and James Dobson, where she played the Sainted Mother of Anti-Choice Martyrdom to the hilt. It definitely made me even more pro-choice than I already was, if that was possible, because god knows that one thing that mandatory…

$150,000 gulf between Palin fans and the rest of us

Update: Don Surber explains that the $150,000 is a reasonable amount to spend, because women require so much more work to be allowed to leave their homes, presumably because women are just nastier than men au natural and have to be expensively detoxed before men can associate with us. Women,…

Daddy D sucks up to Palin in radio interview

Right Wing Watch‘s Kyle Mantyla put himself through the torture of listening to Daddy D slobber all over Sarah Palin so you don’t have to. She not only reiterated that she and John McCain are staunch womb control advocates, she in turn slobbered over the fossilized professional “protector of the…

When will McCain/Palin finally choose to end the politics of hate?

I’m not holding my breath in these last desperate weeks waiting for an end to it, but Brave New Films and The Color of Change are calling for McCain/Palin to condemn the hate and fearmongering being perpetrated by those angry mobs of supporters. They stoked the fires and now we…

Hockey mom Palin booed at Flyers game in Philly

That Jane Six-Pack hokey sh*t doesn’t fly in Philly. Sarah Palin was booed as she took to the ice at a Philadelphia Flyers hockey game. Lynn Zinser @ the NYT blog: Let me start this off by saying, I would object to this sideshow whichever political party it involved. Having…

The hateful ignorance of the McCain/Palin base continues to spiral out of control

Tim Russo recently showed you the hate-filled ignorant base of support for McCain/Palin in Ohio. Make no mistake, that was no anomoly. The kind of conservatives drawn to Grampy and Bible Spice rallies in Bethlehem, PA look and sound as if they are playing from the same disgusting playbook of…

A Day In The Life Of The Only Appreciator Of The Masculine Life Force

Kathy G is on it—Camille Paglia has outdone herself in the stupidity department, if you can believe it. People always wonder why Salon publishes her, but I don’t. She was a founder; she probably has an iron-bound contract that says they have to. Mickey Kaus and Lord Saletan are harder-working…
