It’s suggested that Jonah Goldberg is not the only person alive; wingnuts skeptical
It’s early and I don’t quite have the mental acuity yet to deal with Obama’s speech, so I’m going to deal with the right wing reaction right now. In sum, it appears to be, “I can’t fucking BELIEVE that these stupid Democrats think anyone but me is a human being…
Bam Bam’s furious and opting his kids out of the President’s ‘illegal indoctrination’
Jeebus — while BFF Peter LaBarbera is salivating over Folsom, Matt Bam Bam Barber is bleating about the latest wingnut fest — the President’s upcoming address to school kids with the radical message to 1) stay in school, 2) study hard, and 3) be, well, good students. According to Barber,…
Friday Genius Ten “Texas Is Really Big” Edition
PZ posted a radio poll of College Station, TX that asked if you would let your kids hear President Obama speak. Texans in the audience will be utterly non-surprised to discover that the poll indicates that College Station is a cesspool of wingnuttery. But I was sad to see PZ…
AZ: McCain booed for saying the President respects the Constitution
It must be Arizona’s week in the spotlight for wingers, crazies, and fundies. Poor failed presidential candidate Sen. John McCain had the gall to suggest to heat-packing Arizonans that President Obama doesn’t want to torch the Constitution (not like, say, George W. Bush, who already set it ablaze). And these…
Post-Racial My Black Ass
When you go to an amusement park, you generally don’t expect to have a moment more meaningful than figuring out how many times a roller coaster runs in an hour. Yesterday, I was at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio. Having finished a thoroughly underwhelming meal, I was waiting outside of…
Teabagging racist-email-sending Dr.: ‘I’m not a bigot, I did a counseling day for black Boy Scouts’
TPM has caught the conservative movement with its racist pants down again. Actually, we saw so much racist garbage during the campaign from the low-information Base that it was no surprise to find out the Teabagger movement and is apesh*t not just about taxes, but the fact that we have…
White House response to letter from 77 members of Congress asking him to act on DADT
You’ll recall that yesterday, 77 members of Congress sent a letter to President Obama calling for him to suspend DADT discharges by changing the policy’s implementation at the Department of Defense (as opposed to executive order). The Advocate sought a response to this letter from the administration. It was, to…
The face of the LGBT movement and the mainstream media: tackling the diversity problem
I’ve noticed that there’s a familiar trend of nearly all of the on-air talking heads that represent the LGBT community’s anger with the Obama administration and Congress have been urban gay white men. I have to wonder if this feeds long-held impressions and biases out there that this is a…
What kind of leadership does the LGBT movement need?
Leah McElrath Renna asks “Obama and the Gays: Where’s the Leadership? The fact is that we actually do not know what Obama’s personal views are on marriage equality for same-sex couples. And that shouldn’t really matter. Because we do know he was on record at one point as supporting marriage…
If the GOP wants to resurrect itself, it needs to cure its addiction to hate and bigotry
Joan Walsh at Salon has a piece up, “Can right-wing hate talk lead to murder?”, that features her appearance on Hardball where she discussed the climate of hate featured as entertainment by the likes of Limbaugh, O’Reilly and the rest of that motley crew who are now scurrying like rats…
