Josh Feldman has the recap: Jon Stewart thinks Fox News is maybe a little too sensitive about President Obama taking a few swipes at them during his Super Bowl interview with Bill O’Reilly, and mocked the idea that the leader of the free world went out of his way to deflect from the major scandals plaguing his administration by doing …

Cuckoo bird anti-gay crackpot and former SNL cast member Victoria Jackson, who sees communists everywhere, has declared her candidacy for county commissioner in Tennessee.

You might recall that in 2012 Loesch literally screamed at a caller to her radio show, saying that people who support marriage equality “hate Jesus Christ.” Which immediately earned Loesch a starring role at GOProud’s Homocon 2012 party. The Tea Party has since positioned Loesch as “the new Ann Coulter.”

“Executives at Coca Cola thought it was a good idea to run a 60 second Super Bowl ad featuring children singing America The Beautiful – a deeply Christian patriotic anthem whose theme is unity – in several foreign languages.

As I reported yesterday, a coalition of anti-gay and wingnut groups has launched a national boycott of Girl Scout cookies, which are lovingly baked by Satan, according to the haters. You can find your closest Girl Scout cookie seller by downloading this smartphone app. In New York City, the Girl Scouts will launch National Cookie Weekend on Friday at Grand …

Their weekly recap of crackpottery.

Anti-abortion groups have launched yet another national boycott of Girl Scout cookies because, among other reasons, the organization tweeted a link to a 2013 Huffington Post article that included Texas gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis in a list of candidates for “Woman Of The Year.” The groups intend to disrupt cookie sales by thrusting flyers at potential buyers. The groups have …

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus has issued a call for a boycott of MSNBC over yesterday’s tweet which suggested that “right wingers” would hate the biracial family featured in a new Cheerios commercial.

“Gosh, children are sooo inconvenient, huh? I’m glad my mother didn’t put motherhood on the shelf when she was elected to City Council, then became our mayor, then Governor.

This is how Family Research Council puppet and former HVAC repairman Rep. Randy Weber (R-TX) expressed himself before the State Of The Union address.

“He’s the president of the United States — he’s not a king. He may think he’s a king, he may declare himself king, but that’s not what he is under our Constitution. We’ll sue the president of the United States and force him to no longer act unilaterally. If he wants to go forward with his unilateral activity, he better …

If you didn’t catch this craziness last night: A question over the inclusion of Army Sgt. 1st Class Cory Remsburg at Tuesday’s State of the Union address spiraled into a policy-spanning battle between MSNBC host Rachel Maddow and Rep. Tim Huelskamp (R-KS), who accused her of hiding from what his party calls the truth about the Benghazi attack. “This administration …

A few weeks ago I mentioned the coming overthrow of the federal government. Which is totally happening, you guys. Via Mother Jones: Harry Riley has a dream. On the morning of May 16, somewhere between 10 and 30 million (estimates vary) God-fearing patriots will assemble in Washington, DC, for what Riley, a retired Army colonel from the Florida panhandle, is …

Clip recap: It was the type of shout-fest debate that would not have been out of place in the original Crossfire. But instead of taking place on the reboot of that show, Rep.

From the Facebook page of Rep. Steven Palazzo (R-MS): “Unfortunately, Hollywood doesn’t value the same conservative beliefs we do in Mississippi. Last night’s demonstration at the #Grammys is a perfect example of their disconnect.” Palazzo was elected in the Tea Party wave of 2010. He has a 0% rating from the Human Rights Campaign.

Mediaite provides the recap: Noting that Fox host Sean Hannity pledged to leave the state as a result of those comments, Stewart worked out an innovative way to convince the conservative broadcaster to stay in New York. The Daily Show talked to gay couples pledging to marry people of the opposite gender, cab drivers pledging to abandon their accents, food …

Rep. Paul Broun (R-GA) is running for the Senate seat to be vacated by the retiring Saxby Chambliss. South Carolina state Rep. Lee Bright is challenging Sen. Lindsay Graham (R-SC) in the GOP primary.
