According to the LA Times' James Rainey, the "right wing" is overflowing with anger. His evidence:
"The Obama recession is in full swing, ladies and gentlemen," Limbaugh told his radio audience of 15 million to 20 million on Thursday. "Stocks are dying, which is a precursor of things to come. This is an Obama recession. Might turn into a depression."

POLITICAL graffiti daubed across Burnham has been condemned by police and councillors. Slogans promoting the British National Party, which have now been removed, were scrawled across walls and garage doors in the town centre over the past week.

Communique published at August 7 2008 we claim responsibility for the attack against the offices of the fascist party "LAOS".

This has to be the funniest example of right-wing political correctness I've seen in days."The far-right fundamentalist group replaces the word “gay” in the articles with the word “homosexual.” I’m not entirely sure why, but it seems to make the AFA happy. The group is, after all, pretty far out there. The problem, of course, is that “gay” does not always mean what the AFA wants it t
The prejudice facing Romas in the Czech Republic was highlighted by recent events in the town of Karlov Vay where paramilitary members of the “National Guard” decided to station themselves outside of an elementary school in order to “protect” children from Romas who were living in a nearby dormitory.

It's funny that the media buys into the idea that Barack Obama is an "elitist" because he may have gotten a low bowling score or made a misunderstood comment about voter sentiment but ignores the reality that Republican elitists positively drip with disdain for ordinary Americans. That disdain is sometimes manifested in reverse Robin Hood policies that benefit the wealthy at the expense of e

If you thought that right-wing, anti-tax Republicans would temper their desire to see the bogus concept of “property tax relief” move forward in light of recent media coverage showing it to be nothing more than a high-dollar tax shift, think again.
None other than former State Rep. Talmadge Heflin, now the director for the Center for Fiscal Policy, we see exactly where the Republicans’ priorities lie:
“Regardless what the surplus amount winds up being come January, the two iron-clad priorities for those funds are to fund the continuation of the 2006 property tax cut and to preserve the balance in the Rainy Day Fund. . .”
No big surprise there. But, one must wonder: how long will Republicans in the Texas Legislature put property tax “relief” that mainly ben
The Village Voice has managed to get lots of links today, primarily from conservative blogs, by providing The Official Village Voice Election-Season Guide to the Right-Wing Blogosphere: A confederacy of dunces.

Earlier today, I posted a picture that I thought would be of interest to the American people. Well, as expected, some anonymous Far Right Wing lunatic fringe tool left a rather nasty comment here on my Blog.

Yeah, I know it's a gay title, but I thought it was funny. The Story: Blogging While Female (Via Right Wing News (Conservative News and Views)) Every so often in the blogosphere, on the Left and the Right, hostile debates over gender seem to rise up to the surface like a leviathan from the depths. Some male bloggers tend to think women get more links because they're women, some female bloggers think there's some sort of a "good ol’ boys" club that keeps them from getting big, and more than a few people seem to get huffy about the whole debate. However, the fact is that the issue is much more complex than it appears on the surface. The blogging experience ISN'T THE SAME for men and women. There are different advantages, disadvantages, and challenges t

It looks like that time of year before the elections has come when each of the candidates is the target of a wave of unsubstantiated claims. The most curious thing about these rumors is how so many conservatives are gullible enough to believe them and pass them on as truth. The rumors, generally spread by email, sometimes with the help of The National Enquirer, claim that both John Edwards and Hillary Clinton are having affairs with women. As far as I know, Obama has been spared from these attacks but has been the target of many others, such as the claim that he is Muslum or went to a Madrassa.
Obama is currently being subjected to an email campaign claiming he refused to say the pledge of allegiance. The Fact Checker at The Washington Post (Hat tip to Think on These Things) debunks this one:
The photograph was taken on September 16, 2007, at Senator Tom Harkin’s annual steak fry festivities in Iowa, an important ritual for Democratic presidential hopefuls. Contrary to the e-mai
I don’t have the time to generate a post of my own– with any substance, anyway– but that doesn’t mean I can’t pass along something fun.
It’s important to note somewhere that right-wing rhetoric has gotten more snarly and bloodthirsty over the past few weeks, especially about the rapturous prospect of a really stupid and destructive attack on Iran, and about the need to repress the treasonous, murdering saboteurs (i.e. people like us) who are sapping America’s strength with their vile and cowardly lies, and so forth. This might be as good a place as any to make that observation in plain words — rather than contextually, as with the earlier posts down the page.

You have to love the lunacy of the left. I mean you can't buy entertainment this good. The following poll is a perfect example. It encompasses two things near and dear to the left. Those two things are 1) their hate for George Bush and 2) their hate for our troops. As John Hawkins of RWN explains the left is currently using Blackwater as it's stand in whipping boy because it is too costly for them politically to show their hate for the troops right now. And as insane as this sort of poll and the responses seem it is very typical for DU. ~RJH Right Wing News article link The Democratic Underground Poll Of The Day: Bush & BlackwaterThis poll over at the Democratic Underground is an eye catcher,Poll question: Would Bush order Blackwater mercs to kill Americans to save his *ss from war crimes charges?You got to love this poll. It's a mixture of insane paranoia, Bush Dementia Syndrome, and an attack on the newest whipping boy on the left: Blackwater.The people who work for Blackwate
The right wing typically achieves power, or at present attempts to grasp on to what they have left, by demonizing the opposition and claiming they support positions which they do not. They know that they stand no chance when their views are put up against the actual views of their opponents.
We’ve frequently seen the false claims that liberals support socialized medicine, or even socialism in general, and will take away both people’s guns and bibles. Another common meme on the right over the past few months is that liberals oppose free speech and want to bring back the fairness doctrine to shut down right wing talk radio. Of course this is a proposal I’ve seen discussed frequently by the right with minimal interest on the left. Many of the claims from the right are based upon paranoid stories that Congressman Henry Waxman is planning to shut down talk radio with the support of the Democratic majority.

I have pointed out similar and much worse posts at Democrat sites like DailyKos or Democratic Underground and people just chuckle and say there are extremists everywhere. But look at what MoveOn.org is doing and how the Democrat candidates are rolling over and playing dead for them. The fringe element has become not just mainstream for the Democrat party but the main constituency group. Enough so that they all cancelled attending the debate sponsored in part by Fox News because MoveOn.org demanded it. I have seen this exact sort of post countless times by lib moonbats. They are convinced that Bush/Cheney/TheRove will cancel elections and declare martial law. Except they call it marshall law. You would think as smart as they are (at least thats what they say about themselves) they would know how to spell martial law. Anyway, this is a good read. Moreover, it is perfectly typical of the left as John Hawkins says below. ~RJH Right Wing News article link The Daily Kos Post Of T
Conservatives remain consistent in their strategy of how to handle being consistently wrong. When they have no counter arguments to what a Democratic politician has actually said they make up something different to attack. We saw that with the attacks on John Kerry when they twisted the words “global test” and when they claimed his joke about George Bush getting stuck in Iraq was about the troops. Today they tried the same type of attack once again on Barack Obama.
Usually when the right wing launches their smears, the news media will quote the conservative smear, regardless of whether it has any validity, and try to pass this off as objectivity.This time, instead of repeating the right wing smears as news, somebody at AP actually did her job and acted like a real journalist.
Earlier today Barack Obama said:
We’ve got to get the job done there and that requires us to have enough troops so that we’re not just air-raiding villages and killing civilians, which is

John Hawkins from Right Wing News puts together a good list of questions and his commentary from the latest Democrat "debate". And when did "debate" come to mean mostly softballs tossed their way by the lapdog media? Anyway it is a good read. ~RJH Right Wing News article link The Highlights From The Democratic Debate Last NightLast night, I suffered through the Democratic debate so that you wouldn't have to do it -- and honestly, you didn't miss much. CNN really wasn't all that tough on them and the debate was every bit as interminably dull and liberal as you'd imagine.However, there were a few moments of note because of what the candidates said or because of the really dumb questions the candidates were asked and so, I decided to post those for you for you...The Kucinich doctrine is revealed,"I say we achieve strength through peace. That's the new doctrine that I'm going to promote throughout this campaign." -- Dennis KucinichHillary won't even a

A picture says a thousand words. I don’t post this to come down on multiple marriages, but I do think when you have been through a few, you should not be known for coming down on ‘the sanctity of marriage’ in the political sphere. Maybe these guys spent all their time defeating the rights of gays to get married that their own marriages fell apart. The mormon is the only light weight here.

Most Outrageous Right Wing CommentsThe offensive, the senseless, the bigoted, the inaccurate: a year in right-wing nuttery.How extreme were conservative commentators in their remarks this year? How about calls to nuke the Middle East and an allegation that a "gay … mafia" used the congressional page program as its own "personal preserve." Right-wing rhetoric documented by Media Matters for America included the nonsensical (including Rush Limbaugh's claim that America's "obesity crisis" is caused by, among other things, our failure to "teach [the poor] how to butcher a -- slaughter a cow to get the butter, we gave them the butter"), the offensive (such as right-wing pundit Debbie Schlussel's question about "Barack Hussein Obama": Is he "a man we want as president when we are fighting the war of our lives against Islam? Where will his loyalties be?"), and the simply bizarre (such as William A. Donohue's claim that some Hollywood stars would "sodomize their own mother in a movie").

This is from John Hawkins over at Right Wing News. I think he sums up the list of candidates fairly well. I also think Duncan Hunter is the best of the bunch but yeah I still like Newt, baggage and all. ~RJH Right Wing News article link My Personal Ranking Of The 2008 ContendersAfter watching a couple of debates, I think I've seen enough to come out with a new Presidential preference list. This list is based on a combination of conservatism, likability, and electability. Here it is (Keep in mind, I do work for Duncan Hunter, so take what I say with a grain of salt).Group 1#1) Duncan Hunter: He's a Vietnam Vet, a former Chairman of the Armed Services Committee, and he has a son serving in the military. He is the most conservative candidate running -- or for that matter, thinking about running, and his support of a "fair trade" position would pull in lots of Republicans in states like Ohio and Michigan. He's the most qualified candidate on national security issues and he is

Right Wing News article linkAnn Coulter's Juvenile Comment At CPACFrom Ann Coulter today at CPAC,"I'd say something about John Edwards, but if you use the word 'f*ggot', you have to go to rehab."Note how carefully that sentence is crafted. She cleverly alluded to how ridiculous it was for Isaiah Washington to go to rehab because he used an offensive word and, if you'll notice, she doesn't explicitly call John Edwards a f*ggot. What does that mean?It means that in all likelihood, before Coulter ever went to CPAC, she came up with that line and planned to deliberately spring it this week-end. Why? Because she knew it was a high profile event attended by the presidential candidates and Dick Cheney, which guaranteed that her offensive remark would garner massive publicity for her -- which it did."Democratic Party boss Howard Dean demanded that Republican presidential candidates denounce conservative columnist Ann Coulter..."For someone like Ann Coulter, having How
