As I noted again in the post below this one, so far only Rachel Maddow has reported on last weekend’s “death to gays” convention, where three GOP presidential candidates were interviewed by Pastor Kevin Swanson in between his calls for the genocide of LGBT Americans. Today Michelangelo Signorile calls out the rest of the mainstream media. He writes: Where is …

Right Wing Watch reports today that their YouTube channel has been suspended due to “baseless copyright claims” filed over videos that feature Pastor Kevin Swanson, who repeatedly called for the genocide of homosexuals at last weekend’s “religious liberty” conference where the headlining speakers included Ted Cruz, Mike Huckabee, and Bobby Jindal. Apparently Swanson is VERY UNHAPPY that his murderous calls …

“The strategy is to rapidly polarize the society to the point of violence by conservatives, which will serve as a pretext for ‘defensive police-state measures to suppress what they have already begun to spin as the rise of neo-Nazism. That’s the motivation behind the Black Lives Matter campaign and the outrageous, anger-inducing policies involving illegal aliens and multi-trillion dollar debt …

In a clip published today by TLC, Jessa Duggar and her husband show off their new baby. His name is Spurgeon. Via Defamer: Unfortunate sister of Josh Duggar, Jessa Duggar Seewald, and her husband of a year, Ben Seewald, just had their very first baby of what will undoubtedly be millions. And of all the names in the world, they …

Using the hashtag #DumpSPLC, hate groups today launched a “tweetfest” against the Associated Press, who earlier this year correctly identified the Liberty Counsel as a hate group. Participating in the tweetfest so far are Todd Starnes, the Media Research Center (whose head once called President Obama a “skinny ghetto crackhead” during a Fox News appearance), the KKK-affiliated Family Research Council, …

The New Jersey Attorney General’s office will issue new guidelines to state police in the wake of outrage over a $6000 speaking fee paid to fake former Palestinian terrorist Walid Shoebat, who recently addressed a police academy. Shoebat and his son Ted Shoebat regularly call for the executions of homosexuals, atheists, and Christians who support LGBT rights. The Asbury Park …

CBS News reports: Utah state child welfare officials on Wednesday were reviewing a ruling by a juvenile court judge who ordered a baby to be taken from lesbian foster parents and instead placed with a heterosexual couple for the child’s well-being. Judge Scott Johansen’s order Tuesday raised concerns at the Utah Division of Child and Family Services, agency spokeswoman Ashley …

“Gay activists who heavily influence media coverage do not want any honest debate about the what Americans actually believe — as evidenced by the election results in Kentucky and Houston — and instead want people to simply be told they must accept the rogue decisions of judges who have imposed a radical view of marriage and human sexuality on the …

Nutbag evangelist Christine Weick, whom we last heard from when she disrupted a Muslim event, is at it again. Hemant Mehta writes at Friendly Atheist: It’s common knowledge that singer Katy Perry, before becoming a pop star, was a gospel singer. It’s less well known that her parents are still preachers. Keith Hudson, her dad, recently did an interview with …

According to an End Times site, that President Obama posed for the cover of Out Magazine provides conclusive proof that he is gay. They write: In the Bible, God destroyed the twin cities of both Sodom and Gomorrah for the sin of homosexuality, and He did it by raining down fire and brimstone on them. The Bible also says that …

Today Ben Carson spoke at Dead Falwell University where he told the mandatory student assembly that Bernie Sanders’ plan for free community college would “hasten the destruction of America.” The Hill reports: “It becomes easy to swallow things. If you don’t understand our financial situation and someone comes along and says, ‘free college for everybody,’ they’ll say, ‘oh how wonderful,’ …

Oh, brother. Yahoo News reports: Dunkin’ Donuts unveiled its seasonal coffee cup design for the holidays on Tuesday, giving java drinkers a cup sporting Christmas-themed colors and the word “Joy” in red script. While many praised the release, others thought the coffee brewer’s move was a transparent jab at its competitor, Starbucks, whose own holiday cup this week sparked a …

National Center for Lesbian Rights head Kate Kendell has quit the Mormon Church over its recent policy statement on gay couples and their families. From her op-ed in the Washington Post: I just did something I thought I would never do. I resigned my membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the Mormons) and asked that my …

“The old cups had snowflakes and Santa’s elves – you know – all the things you find in the bible. Now look at THIS cup. You might as well call it a ‘Satan-Sipper’.”

“You know I’m passionate about protecting the heart of Christmas! And these next couple of months really can be ‘The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!’ Funny, though, how some grinches on the Left take things too far in attempts to make all us jolly revelers look ridiculous, lumping us in the same box concerning misplaced outrage over a coffee …

Thank the Lord Almighty Himself that Houston does not allow men in the same bathroom as women! Oh, wait. The Houston Press reports: Jared Woodfill, the former Harris County Republican Party leader who successfully championed the fight against the Houston Equal Rights Ordinance by proclaiming “no men in women’s restrooms,” is representing a man in court who has admitted to …

Faith Driven Consumer is exploiting the ridiculous Starbucks flap to promote the launch of this year’s Shopping For Jesus campaign. They write: “Starbucks is free to design cups and other materials as they see fit, and each consumer—driven by their values and ideals—will respond based on the relative appeal of these products. For those Faith Driven Consumers and others dissatisfied …

Last week I reported that One Million Moms is attacking Mattel over a story about gay dads in their American Girl magazine. This week the family appeared on DC television to respond. Raw Story reports: Rob Scheer told WTTG on Monday that as a gay man with four adopted African-American children he expected a certain amount of criticism. But he …

Last night Rachel Maddow became the first (and she’ll likely be the only) mainstream media journalist to report extensively on the GOP “death to gays” conference held over the weekend. Maddow wisely let the videos do much of the talking, saying, “This really was a ‘kill the gays’ call to arms.” Her report begins at the 6:00 mark in the …

“It’s not the Holy Grail, folks. It’s a cranberry-colored, environmentally-friendly coffee cup. I stopped drinking Starbucks coffee years ago – back when their chief executive officer said he did not want to do business with people like me – a gun-toting, Bible-believing offspring of white privilege. So I figured – why spend my hard-earned money on a company that actively …
