• GOP bigotry rears its ugly head

  A few weeks ago, the Senate invited a Hindu leader to deliver the daily invocation. Apparently, this has sent Idaho’s Bill Sali (R) over the edge. “We have not only a Hindu prayer being offered in the Senate, we have a Muslim member of the House of Representatives now, Keith Ellison from Minnesota. Those are changes — and they

  Conducting a memorial service for a gay guy would be like conducting a service for a thief or a murderer and showing photos of the criminal murdering someone, the priest said.Someone is going to hell, and it isn't the guy who died.

  Last week I noted Rep. Bill Sali's (R-ID) incredibly bigoted remarks about the Hindu prayer offered in the Senate and serving with a Muslim (Keith Ellison, D-MN) in Congress. Long story short, he doesn't like it a bit and says that it "creates problems for the longevity of this country." The statements quickly gained a lot of national and local

• Why can't Republicans ever truly apologize?

  Tags: Islam, Gop Congress, Bigotry

  that's nice. But lots of bigotry in America isn't motivated by a desire to be a bigot. It's usually motivated by your sense that you're correct, that you have morality and God and history on your side. Very few people with bigoted views actually intend to be bigots. Usually, they intend to be Godly. But they're still bigots.

  We were honestly struggling to find anything to post today because of a dearth of material related to Romney and The Question.  That's not a bad thing, in our minds; if no one's talking about Mitt Romney's faith, that's okay with us.  At the very end of the day Wednesday, however, I did find one item that could, with

• TMQ2 Islamofascist Watch: Beware of Islamophobia Watch

  Tags: Muslim Intolerance, Muslim Flimflammers, Internet Terror, Islamic World Domination, Religion Of Peace My Ass, Religion Of Pieces, Islamophobia, Islamofascism, Bigotry, Islam

  The following site is clearly a pro-terrorism, pro-Islamic World Domination site hiding behind the idea that it’s exposing Islamophobes and run by moderate Muslims. This is more Muslim flimflammery. They refer to Islamophobes as “racists” even though Islam is not a race and Muslims are from many races. It’s the same old

• Larry Craig is not a victim

  Published: August 29, 2007, 4:23 pm

  Tags: Bigotry

  So far the consensus in the liberal blogosphere (even for some wingnuts) is that if not for homophobia, Larry Craig would have been free to indulge in gay sex without guilt or shame and would not have needed to live a lie. People don’t go as far as to pity him because of Craig’s anti-human rights stance. I disagree with this

  This clip is from last week on H&C. Geraldo Rivera, the token pro-immigration voice on Murdoch’s payroll takes on the racist Tom Tancredo and reminds him that his grandparents came over from Italy. Kinda embarrassing to me being Italian and all—-listening to his garbage.  Download (1473)   Play (1734)

  We constantly hear conspiracy theorists, some of whom are less wacky than others, anti-Semites and often even quite normal people badmouthing American Jews, Jews, Israelis, Israel, and everyone ever connected to the so-called Jewish lobby, as if Jews represent some special threat. Just to put this hateful crap in perspective, below is a little bit

  Louisiana has a Gubernatorial election this year and the massively incompetent Governor, Kathleen Blanco-D Louisiana, will not be running. Speculation centered on chocolate city Mayor Ray Nagin to run in her stead, but, he recently announced, after flirting with a run on the “Tom Joyner Morning Show,” that he would not be a
