This is no surprise to anyone. Not only do they hate gays, but they hate gays Obama has hired to work for him. Fox ”News” personalities, followed by other conservative media outlets and gay-bashing organizations, have launched a relentless assault against acknowledged homosexual Kevin Jennings, an official in the Department of Education. At issue, is an episode Jennings recounted in a book (available...

There is a lot going on, but Orly Taitz is as good a place to start as any. On October 5, 2009, Judge Carter in California was expected to rule on the government’s Motion to Dismiss. Instead, he adjourned in the afternoon saying he would make a decision in 1 day to 1 year. While the actual transcript is not available, someone who goes by the moniker “Waveydavey” at the blog that follows this...

There’s so much stupidity out there in the past couple of days that it is hard to know where to start, but let’s begin with the International Olympic Committee’s (IOC) decision to eliminate Chicago from consideration as a host for the 2016 summer Olympics. As everyone knows by now, President Obama joined his wife and Oprah Winfrey in Copenhagen to lobby the IOC to select Chicago. Because this...

Yesterday, the conservative, often controversial (and even more often debunked) media organization Newsmax published an article by John L. Perry that describes how a coup d’etat against President Obama might occur. Newsmax quickly disowned the article, removing it from its Website and issuing a statement (per Media Matters): In a blog posting to Newsmax John Perry wrote about a coup scenario involving...

I am sure some people who visit this blog question whether I am overreacting or exaggerating the effect of what media groups like Fox “News” have wrought, so I thought I would go dumpster diving in Wingnutville and bring you a few examples of the insane paranoia and hatred that now reins (typos are not mine): sandy says: [A]nything that will get us out from under the mess we are in with Obama works...

Fox “News” and other conservatives are STILL obsessing over this. By now, you have likely heard the whole story. Teachers at a Burlington Township New Jersey public school requested parental permission to have preschool students sing a song that praised President Obama during February’s Black History Month. A teacher recorded the children and, without the school’s permission, posted the...

I apologize for the silence from Debunker Hill, but we’ve had a bit of H1N1 (swine flu) in the household. Fortunately, bed rest gave me alot of time to watch the news, and I saw a lot of coverage of the teabbagger’s march to the White House on 9-12. This is all part of the Glenn Beck project, started last year. The idea, according to Beck, is to recapture that feeling we all had on September 12,...

We have known for awhile now that democrat Max Baucus is a greedy hack who marches to the drumbeat of the healthcare industry. You can view a list of some of the hundreds of thousands he has received from health insurance companies at Think Progress. Add the contributions he has received from big Pharma and other health organizations, and you reach the millions, according to the Sunlight Foundation: The overall...

For those who are not familiar with Orly Taitz, Queen of the Birthers, click here. For those who already know about this poor excuse for a lawyer, read on. Taitz recently filed another lawsuit, this one in Austin, Texas, on behalf of a flight surgeon named Connie Rhodes who is a Captain in the US army. Rhodes was summoned to active duty in Iraq and was to report to Fort Benning in Georgia on September 5. It...

Some people might consider me an extremist; I certainly advocate my liberal views vigorously. Yet there are some liberals who fall even further to the left than I and who, I feel, lack the same reality-based thinking as their rightwing arch-foes. Perhaps this includes some who bought into the Nader lie that ultimately “there is no difference between republicans and democrats.” Eight years of Bush...
