Tea Party Express’s Mark Williams goes nuts
Tea Party Express bigwig Mark Williams took the Teabagger/NAACP spat a bit further…to the INSANO ZONE! He upped this “letter” on his webpage! It is a fake letter from a black guy to President Lincoln. Dear Mr. Lincoln We Colored People have taken a vote and decided that we don’t cotton to that whole emancipation… Continue reading Tea Party Express’s Mark Williams goes nuts
An Important Public Service Announcement
Today marks an important day in our nation’s historic fight against Islam and the creeping menace known as Sharia Law. At this year’s Arab American festival, 4 Christian missionaries from Acts 17 Apologetics were arrested for disorderly conduct and charged with misdemeanor disturbing the peace while trying to convert Muslims to Christianity at the festival. … Continue reading An Important Public Service Announcement
Appreciating Serious People
David Weigel resigns from the Washington Post for his unprofessional behavior, making an apology on the way out. I’m a member of an off-the-record list-serv called “Journolist,” founded by my colleague Ezra Klein. Last Monday, I was deluged with angry e-mail after posting a story about Rep. Bob Etheridge (D-N.C.) that was linked by the… Continue reading Appreciating Serious People

The terrorist flotilla
I happened to have been following this story closely for several days before the attack, so watching the response has been one of the most absurd spectacles I’ve ever seen the media go through–not a statement I make lightly. This is actually the ninth, and by far the largest, attempt by the group that organized… Continue reading The terrorist flotilla
Caleb Howe is a cancer.
We’ve all met that guy. Maybe he went to your high school, sat next to you on an airplane that one time, has a nationally syndicated talk-radio and television show, or even attended one of those Tea Party protest and ended spouting off with his misspelled protest sign while someone interviewed him for a video… Continue reading Caleb Howe is a cancer.
RedState blogger mocks Roger Ebert’s lack of USA respect, cancer
Caleb Howe loves to push buttons (it comes with the Conservative wingnut territory I suppose). As a member of the site RedState.com Caleb has his own little chunk of internet to report on whatever he feels like, and we know Caleb is the real deal and not some fly-by-night Tea Bag because he’s been registered… Continue reading RedState blogger mocks Roger Ebert’s lack of USA respect, cancer
