Spent today reading fan mail.” In a follow-up tweet, he quotes Davis: “I am heartened that God’s people are not huddled up in a corner, but they are standing strong.” How many of those letters include a check? Below is the full photo. (Tipped by JMG reader …

It’s been two days since NOM launched its Kim Davis Bigotry Reward fund and so far a whopping 24 more people have added to the measly total of $6723. Which is $6723 more than Davis deserves, but is still funny. More importantly, the paltry amount is indicative of the scant support seen for Davis except among the most extremist fundamentalists. …

Minutes after Kim Davis was released from Jesus Jail yesterday, Tony Perkins thrust his new book into her hands for a photo op.

“I can tell you that Kim Davis isn’t a martyr — she’s a hero. What the Left is almost certainly afraid of is what is coming to pass: courage is breeding courage.

Triumphantly flanked by hate group leader Mat Staver and Mike Huckabee, Kim Davis stopped sobbing long enough to offer the press a smile, nodding “yes” when they asked if her jailing had been worth it. Unsurprisingly the haters are spinning Davis’ release as a victory even though nothing has changed at her office.

Kyle Mantyla has the text at Right Wing Watch: “A clerk provides licenses to do something,” Staver explained. “A license to operate a motor vehicle on the road, a license to build a particular facility or a license to do this or a license to do that or a license to operate a business. So that person is licensing someone …

According to a poll issued today by the right-leaning Rasmussen, only 26% of Americans believe that Kim Davis should be free to defy the Supreme Court. The result of a second question as to whether Davis belongs in jail has not been disclosed at this writing.

All of Teabagistan is aflame today with outraged claims that the HRC deviously bought FreeKimDavis.com and redirected the URL to their donation page.  Even the Liberty Counsel has joined the “How DARE they?” stampede. Slight problem – the HRC just confirmed to me that they did NOT buy the URL and they don’t know who did. As I noted the …

This weekend the Duggar family’s pastor reportedly delivered a “fiery sermon” on the repulsive sin of pornography. The pastor, obviously, was reacting to Josh Duggar’s recently confessed problem with obsessively fapping to online triple-penetration interracial gangbang bukkake.

Kim Davis has not been fined, her lawyers are working for free, and she continues to draw her salary. But somehow Brian Brown thinks you should send her lots of money. Because Jesus.

Raw Story has the amusing story: A panel of legal experts on Fox News came to the conclusion on Monday that Kim Davis’ attorney, Mat Staver, was “ridiculously stupid” for asserting that the Supreme Court did not have constitutional authority to strike down same-sex marriage bans.

Flip Benham, the crackpot nutcase loony tunes father of those failed reality show twins, has issued a press release which announces that he and fellow Christianists will today descend on the home of federal Judge David Bunning to call for his arrest in the name of Jesus.
