Not only did the ad imply that black Democrat Harold Ford cavorted with, gasp, white women (how uppity!), the ad charged that Ford took money from filthy pornographers. Mehlman refused to have the ad pulled even after loud complaints from the NAACP, saying it was an “independent expenditure.” (But check the “paid for by the RNC” tailer on the clip.) …

Ken Mehlman even tried to shift the blame for the invasion of Iraq.

Many more examples here.

“I do believe that as a moral country, as a country that was founded in these values, we have always paid tribute to these values of traditional marriage and that the thrust of this bill, which a number of these amendments have tried to address, have highlighted what is clearly a deep cultural divide in this country. And that when …

Yesterday the Utah Senate delayed approval of a long-running federal grant providing assistance to people with HIV, the Ryan White Act. Utah Senate president Michael Waddoups said coldly, “Doesn’t Obamacare pay for this?” The grant program is named after Ryan White, a teenage hemophiliac who died from AIDS complications in the 1980s after contracting the HIV virus during a transfusion …

And predictably, the wingnuts begin to eat their own. Randy Thomasson, execudouche director of Save California: Now he’s completely “out.” Monday morning on the radio, Republican State Senator Roy Ashburn of Bakersfield said “I’m gay.” But Roy Ashburn is mistaken. No one is “gay” because the so-called “gay gene” does not exist. What’s more, there are thousands of Americans who …

Bigotry makes strange bedfellows. Catholic Online’s head hater Deacon Keith Fournier has published an effusive praising of NY Sen. Ruben Diaz’ anti-gay performance yesterday. Senator Ruben Diaz is a “man with a chest”. He stands out in an age of men (and women) without chests. The reaction to the vote defending marriage against its opponents has been swift. Those in …

“This battle is not over. DC politicians are blocking the right of people to vote on marriage. Voters in 31 other states have already exercised their right to vote on this issue. It is ironic that some politicians actively campaign demanding DC voting rights and yet they are conspiring to deny those same citizens the right to vote on the …

“My burden is not to show that originalism is perfect but to show that it beats the other available alternatives. Did any provision of the Constitution guarantee a right to abortion? No one thought so for almost two centuries after the founding. Did any provision in the Constitution guarantee a right to homosexual sodomy? Same answer.” – Supreme Court Justice …

The Liberty Counsel, the Christianist outfit behind any lawsuit for Jeebus, has launched an “Adopt A Liberal” campaign, asking for prayers for people they judge to be working for Satan. Since the landmark 2008 general election, there can be no doubt that a very large percentage of our Nation’s leaders have a liberal mindset. The undeniable fact is that the …

“What we have to do today is make a covenant, to slit our wrists, be blood brothers on this thing. This will not pass. We will do whatever it takes to make sure this doesn’t pass. Right now, we are looking at reaching down the throat and ripping the guts out of freedom. And we may never be able to …

The office of openly gay New York state Sen. Thomas Duane sends this message via email: “The month long stalemate in the Senate has ended. I am pleased that the Democratic Conference remains, as they were elected to be, in the majority. It is now time for the Senate to get back to work. The June 8th coup was a …

Pam’s House Blend contributor Lurleen has just posted an astounding evisceration of Larry Stickney, the campaign manager for Protect Marriage Washington, the group behind the effort to repeal that state’s brand new “everything but marriage” domestic partners law. Among Lurleen’s revelations is that the three-times married Stickney has had a restraining order issued against him by one of his ex-wives …

Garsh, Miss California, what is it, exactly, that I’m lying about? UPDATE: So how do we find out if this Twitter account really belongs to her? A little help!

“Let me give you another extremist view – In God We Trust – you say that too loud you can get shot somewhere in America.”
