Washington Times columnist and Edmund Burke Institute president Jeffrey Kuhner appeared on The Janet Mefferd Show yesterday where he said that members of the LGBT community “ are even worse than the radical Islamists ” and more terrifying than the dictators he often writes about, calling them “the most fanatical, hate-filled…and intolerant people I’ve ever met.” Listen: Kuhner : As a journalist I write on a wide range of issues, I write on the Communist Chinese, I write on Putin’s regime, I write on brutal dictatorships over the world, the gay, lesbian, transgender community, the LGBT community, is the most intolerant than I have ever witnessed, they are even worse than the radical Islamists. I get death threats, my family is threatened, they call on me to be fired, they want to destroy my career. I have never seen people as intolerant, as malicious, as so desperate to engage in smear and slander and libel as people and activists in the LGBT community, it is really despicable.

As far as Bryan Fischer and his ignorance is concerned, at 60 I am convinced more and more everyday that just about everything with a penis can be dispensed with except my sons. I have now become a hard-line advocate for artifical insemination, population control, a harder than usual advocate for the death penalty - including politicians and corporate CEOs, regardless of race - and just about all things mass media. This moron needs to finish reading the Bible and Koran front to back as it is, not as he wishes it to be. In Isiah 56:5 God states:"To them I will give in My House and within My Walls a memorial and a name (a Yad Vashem) better than that of the sons and daughters; I will give them an everlasting name which will NOT be cut off." God was referring to 'eunuchs', the then terminology for gay men. If Bryan Fischer were not suffering - so the rest of us can also - from the typical head up his rear male snydrome, he could not only breathe easier but think straighter. by Aug 9

'Corporate' sins, to my way of liberated Jewish grandma thinking, includes: Anheuser-Busch, Monsanto Chemical, IBM, Google, Microsoft and their "was this helpful" crap, politicians including Obama, and the 7,000 non-profit organizations in America funding terrorist organizations via Islamic computer hacking of donor lists and their more than welcome status in America's homeless shelters. And the NYC mosque is a monument to those responsible for the 9/11 slaughter in retaliation for excluding the Islamic marytrs from the 9/11 memorial. It is also another slap in the face to Americans to prove how this government is in bed with the terrorist factions at the expense of voting citizens and US religious rights we established so another tyrannical faction could arrive and kill the rights of US citizens on home soil, thus working towards reversing Hitler's actual conquering of the globe with the help of the conquered towards a similar status under the Nations of Islam. by Aug 9
After years spent bashing Latinos, polls show the GOP brand suffering among that demographic, so Republicans are now trying to bamboozle Latino voters with a new dream-free version of the DREAM Act.

I would like to publicly and personally thank regular readers SadOldGuy & Phoebs in Santa Fe for the generous contributions that have paid the bills to keep this site operating well into 2012. -- BG This blog is written by a group of liberal patriots who aren't quite as pissed off as they were a couple of years ago, but aren't taking anything for granted, either. We share a fierce dedication to the Constitution - the only words ever put to paper worth dying for, and we'll argue it's finer liberal points with anyone.
They gave us a republic...:: Americans Ignorant of Nature of Right Wing and Their Own History
The White House Correspondents Association voted unanimously Sunday afternoon to move Fox News to the front row of the White House briefing room. The seating change was prompted by the resignation of veteran UPI reporter Helen Thomas. According to Ed Henry, the senior White House correspondent for CNN and member of the WHCA board, the Associated Press will move to the front-row middle seat formerly occupied by Thomas.
Fox News to move to front-row White House briefing-room seat - The Hill's Blog Briefing Room
Anyone taking bets on whether or not the White House Correspondents Association will be snookered into giving ClusterFox a front row seat at the Daily Press Briefings? Helen Thomas’s seat is up for grabs. And by seat I mean vacant chair in the briefing room.

Fox moves to front row - On Media - POLITICO.com
The board of the White House Correspondents Association has agreed, by consensus, to move the Associated Press to the front row, center seat in the James S. Brady Briefing Room. The board further agreed to move Fox News to the front row seat previously occupied by AP, and relocate NPR into the second row seat previously held by Fox, next to Bloomberg News. It was a very difficult decision. The board received requests from Bloomberg and NPR in addition to Fox for relocation to the front row and felt all three made compelling cases.
Right-wing media respond to AZ ruling with unhinged rhetoric
I did expect that the far right would go bat shit crazy over an Arizona judge's ruling that blocked parts of the state's immigration law from taking effect. Limbaugh predicts that "Muslim terrorists" will "have a field day in Arizona." On the same show, Limbaugh also stated that "we now have a situation where the federal government, through the executive branch and this court, is saying that state and local law enforcement is essentially barred from inquiring into the legal status of individuals who are stopped incidental to other potential violations. That's the net effect."
Bill Brady Takes Tea, My Dear | NBC Chicago
Those are the opening lines of Sting’s “ An Englishman in New York ,” which was inspired by British author Quentin Crisp. Ordinarily, you wouldn’t quote a song about a gay raconteur to describe Bill Brady . But Brady is alienated from the big city where, as a candidate for governor, he’s forced to spend a lot of his time. He prefers the Tea Parties of rural Illinois to the coffee shops of Chicago .This post originally appeared on the Washington Monthly . There’s been a fair amount of attention surrounding Senate Minority Whip Jon Kyl’s (R-Ariz.) comments yesterday about ending birthright citizenship, as guaranteed by the 14th amendment. And it’s true — the fact that a once-obscure right-wing dream has quickly become a common talking point for the Republican leadership is pretty interesting. But during Kyl’s interview with CBS’s Harry Smith on “Face the Nation,” there was another exchange (pdf) that stood out.
The Right-Wing Lies About Arizona’s Immigration Law Keep Getting More Outrageous « SpeakEasy
I've complained many, many times on BC about how the Right Wing seems to give no consideration whatsoever to the importance of accuracy and factuality of the information they publish, but I can't help but wonder just how big their lies have to be before Joe Everyman starts seeing the Far Right for what they really are. It's not as if the Left is always completely truthful, but as I've pointed out so often before, it's a matter of degree . The Right will see ONE fault by the Left and raise hell about it, and never seem to notice that their own faults are much more severe (see "Iraq War", for one), and many times more numerous. Just today we've been informed that a Mexican drug cartel has invaded Texas near Laredo and took over two ranches.

Right Wing Liars: Michael Charles Master, James David Manning, GiniCorp, and ATLAH World Ministries - Salem-News.Com
Aug-02-2010 01:01 Ersun Warnke Salem-News.com Business/Economy Reporter Michael Charles Master and James David Manning (EUGENE, Ore.) - ATLAH World Ministries is a bizarre “Christian” ministry operated in Harlem by an ex-felon named James David Manning. Manning espouses a variety of conflicting racists view points, which even Fox News labels as “Hate Filled,” although that doesn’t stop them from giving him air time.Sarah Palin v. Witchcraft - A radical, right-wing charismatic evangelical movement is burrowing into the power structures of major American cities and states; if Sarah Palin runs for president in 2012 we could have a New Apostolic Reformation president - By Bruce Wilson in AlterNet Editor’s note: This story is about a radical right wing movement in charismatic Christianity that claims to fight demons but, leaving demonology aside, is demonstrably close to seizing the reigns of power in entire US states. They claim to be able to raise the dead and cause miracles, such as the multiplication of Thanksgiving turkey dinners.
