The Clenched Fist of Truthiness: Why Religion Won’t Fix This

By Daniel Schultz

The NRA released a terrifying recruitment video the other day, unsettling even by their standards, issuing all but a call to arms to battle protestors, liberals, and anyone else standing in the way of the Trump agenda. The Washington Post‘s Peter Holley describes it: In the ad, [conservative commentator Dana] Loesch accuses “their” ex-president of endorsing “the resistance,” a movement of demonstrators who “smash windows, burn cars, shut down int…

Bachmann Staffer Likens
Rick Perry to King Saul and Bachmann to anointed
King David

By Warren Throckmorton

Peter Waldron, a staffer involved in Michele Bachmann’s faith outreach, has compared Texas Governor Rick Perry to Old Testament King Saul and Bachmann to King David. On his Facebook page the day after Bachmann’s straw poll victory in Iowa on Saturday, Waldron wrote, “From afar and in prayer I see a Saul and David scenario between Perry and Bachmann. One looks everything like a king while the other is anointed.” Waldron later told his followers th…

Pseudo-Historian David Barton in the Times and on The Daily Show

By Julie Ingersoll

David Barton, the favored “historian” of right wing figures like Glenn Beck and Mike Huckabee, had a good day yesterday. Marking his widening influence among those currying favor with the tea party, Barton was the subject of a fluff piece in the New York Times followed by an interview with Jon Stewart on the Daily Show (video below, after the jump). Barton’s slipperiness was evident in both, though only Stewart seemed plainly frustrated by it. Th…

Dialogue or Demonization? Where Gays are Concerned, Focus on the Family Wants it Both Ways

By Cody J. Sanders

Silence can be disturbing—at least according to one conservative Christian group in California. Last Friday, when the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) sponsored its annual Day of Silence, in which students take a vow of silence “to call attention to the silencing effect of anti-LGBT bullying and harassment in schools,” SaveCalifornia.com staged a walkout, urging parents to protect their kids from “indoctrination” by keeping th…

Prop. 8 Ruling Delayed By Standing Questions

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals is asking for help from the state’s Supreme Court in the constitutional challenge to Proposition 8. At issue, according to the Bay Area Reporter, is whether the organization that sponsored Prop. 8 has standing to defend it in court, a question of critical importance since state officials refused to defend the law on appeal from the district court’s ruling that it is unconstitutional. The issue of whether Protect…

Maddow Confronts Author of Ugandan “Kill the Gays” Bill

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

I almost feel sorry for David Bahati. Almost. The Ugandan Parliament member appeared on The Rachel Maddow Show this week to defend his “kill the gays” bill. Maddow set up the segment by recounting America’s long slide down the slippery slope of anti-gay rhetoric pushed by such religious right figures as Anita Bryant and Jerry Falwell. The thrust of the argument made against gays and lesbians in this country is that “they do not reproduce, so they…

“Far Too Extreme For America To Accept,” Hamas “Endorsed Obama,” “Forced Abortions,” and More

By Sarah Posner

From Think Progress comes this breakdown of the 25-minute ad produced by the National Republican Trust PAC, and which is airing on Fox affiliates around the country: Several Fox television stations and one ABC affiliate in key battleground states are running a Republican front group’s anti-Obama propaganda as paid programming in the final days leading up to the election. The National Republican Trust PAC, run by conservative conspiracy theorist S…

Colbert v. Stewart: It’s On! 10.30.10

By Julie Ingersoll

“I Disagree With You but I’m Pretty Sure You’re Not Hitler.” This is one of the posters promised when Jon Stewart made his “big announcement” last night. Stewart and the Daily Show will host the “Rally to Restore Sanity,” 10.30.10 on the Washington Mall. In a hilarious parody of Glenn Beck, Stewart urges moderates to join him for “a Million Moderate March,” suggesting that a small minority of Americans have taken the public discussion hostage b…

Phelps’ Vile Words Test First Amendment

By Lauri Lebo

What can I say? I’m a tourist for these kinds of places. Before attending Ted Haggard’s church in Colorado Springs on Sunday, I visited the home of Fred Phelps and his Westboro Baptist Church last week in Topeka, Kansas last week. By the way, it’s been described by the media as a compound. It’s actually a city block of fenced-in homes in a rather nice residential neighborhood with lovely landscaping. It’s so nice that at first, I figured I was at…

LDS Church to be Fined for Late Reports of Prop. 8 Funding

By Joanna Brooks

California’s Fair Political Practices Commission will likely fine the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints $5,538 for being late to report about $37,000 in non-monetary contributions to the Yes on Proposition 8 campaign of 2010. The FPPC inquiry was prompted in part by LGBT activist Fred Karger’s insistent allegations that the Church had misrepresented its contributions to the Yes on 8 campaign. A statement from the LDS Newsroom clarified…
