Who’s the Anti-Semite Now?
If you type “jeremiah Wright Anti-semitic” into google you get 27,700 results, mostly to right wing sites
Here’s some textbook stupid from Richard “I am Stupid” Cohen:
Barack Obama is a member of Chicago’s Trinity United Church of Christ. Its minister, and Obama’s spiritual adviser, is the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. In 1982, the church launched [...]
Fun With Joe Lieberman’s Office
Riiiing….riiing….
“Hello, Senator Lieberman’s office.”
“Hi my name is Brendan Skwire. I’m calling from out of state. Listen, I hear Senator Lieberman’s catching an awful lot of flack for headlining an event for John Hagee. He’s the controversial pastor that McCain is distancing himself from, the one who says that Jews brought the Holocaust on themselves, and [...]
Glenn Beck: More Freaky Friday
A few weeks ago, I listened to the moronic Glenn Beck and his right-wing Christianist dingaling buddy Joel Rosenberg go on at length about the upcoming battle between the 12th Imam and Jesus Christ as if they werecharacters in “Ghostbusters”. It was a masterpiece of gibbering insanity.
This morning, Joel made an encore performance, in [...]
Your Dose of XMas
While you’re enjoying your family, your gifts, and (if you’re religious and believe that kind of thing) the birth of Christ, take a moment to think about Christmas in Iraq
There was no midnight mass among Christians in Iraq again this year. Too dangerous.
And of the estimated 800,000 Christians in the country in 2002, as few [...]
Hell Is Christian Radio
I haven’t been blogging much this week because Sam is visiting for next week, but I have a few minutes and I’d figured I’d squeeze in a post.

Why Do Right Wing Christians Hate America
The Church of God Choir of Springfield, Ohio offers new lyrics for “God Bless America” at the “Values Voter Debate, and it is truly awe-inspiring. These people are cuckoo bananas in the worst way, and a glance at their lyrics confirms the undeniable: they really do hate America. What will we tell the [...]

Courts bars suit against faith-based plan
WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court ruled Monday that ordinary taxpayers cannot challenge a White House initiative that helps religious charities get a share of federal money.
The 5-4 decision blocks a lawsuit by a group of atheists and agnostics against eight Bush administration officials including the head of the White House [...]
Christianity
Every once in awhile I peruse a religious blog, and it’s always a trip to see the people who believe in one magical, invisible superbeing take potshots at another group of people who believe in a different magical, invisible superbeing, or even better people who believe in the same magical, invisible superbeing, but express their [...]

I am not now, and have never been, a Christian. It’s not out of some sort of antipathy toward the faith, at least not initially: I wasn’t raised in a religious family, and as my father’s atheism was often a topic on long car trips, I became a skeptic quite early in life.
However, recent [...]
Our Allies
Warning: graphic, nsfw. The worst thing I have ever seen.
And as so many have said before me what digby says.
And the Democrats are sending the motherfucker a blank check? For this?
WTF?
