Out lesbian and right-wing radio host Tammy Bruce spoke at one of them tea-bagger thingies in Tuscon this weekend, where she railed in familiar fashion against the liberal elite.

World Net Daily founder Joseph Farah didn’t like Anderson Cooper’s teabagging joke and wants him fired for it. CNN’s Anderson Cooper should have his dirty, little gutter mouth washed out with soap. Then he should be fired. Cooper, a cover boy on the homosexual magazine “The Advocate” and listed as among the most powerful “gays” in the country by OUT …

Tim Russo at Blogger Interrupted interviews some patriots at a teabagger rally. I’ve been doing video of right wing nutbags for a long time, but this one was the most disturbing event I’ve ever attended.

(He basically reads the …

Those wacky wingnuts have an anthem to go along with their “Tea Party Movement.” The music reminds me of the theme song from a 70’s sitcom – it’s very Jeffersons. (If Ja’net Du Bois had sung about “socialist schemes” that “kill the American dream” instead of dee-luxe apartments in the sky-y-y, that is.) The American Family Association claims to have …
