Rep. Kevin Cramer of North Dakota (state rep, not federal) delivered the commencement address at the University of Mary, which, you may have guessed, is a Catholic college. What he delivered was a series of bewildering non-sequiturs that added up to little more than a list of complaints about how the world wasn’t the way …

Another Crazy City Council Candidate
If you thought Princess Anna Pierre was bad, wait till you meet Richard Sheridan, a candidate for the Dallas City Council who received a whopping 28 votes for that office and then unleashed a bigoted tirade on a voicemail left for a local reporter.

Another Daily Caller Thud
Tucker Carlson’s The Daily Caller has quickly distinguished itself as an online news source full of people just like Carlson — tired hacks with little intellectual integrity. Patrick Howley, who dubs himself an “investigative reporter,” breathlessly exposes the “strong Obama connections” of the husband of Lois Lerner, the IRS official who apologized last week for …

Ooh, America Under Influence of Satan
Dan Delzell, an “exclusive” columnist for the Christian Post, is always good for a chuckle or two. On first read, his new column might appear to offer a classic fallacy of the excluded middle because he claims that you’re either influenced by Jesus or Satan, no other possibilities in between. But since neither of those …

Obamacare Has Killed a Million People!
That is the headline of an email sent by Charisma Media on behalf of Capitol Hill Daily, the extremely far right “news” site run by Floyd Brown, the guy who brought you the Citizens United ruling. With no evidence, or even a specific claim, whatsoever, it declares that Obamacare “just killed its millionth person.”

TVC Lies About Muslims and Obamacare
On Planet Wingnuttia, no lie ever dies. Even years after a lie is debunked, they will continue to be repeated over and over again. A perfect example is the Traditional Values Coalition, which is still telling its members that Muslims are exempted from having to buy health insurance under the Affordable Care Act.

Pat Robertson on Adultery
We’re used to Pat Robertson saying batshit crazy things in response to questions from 700 Club viewers, but this one just leaves me shaking my head. A woman says that her husband cheated on her and his response was to say hey, he’s a man, they do that — and it’s your job to be …

Principal Still Punishing Katelyn Campbell
Remember Katelyn Campbell, the West Virginia high school student who very publicly protested a dishonest and disgusting mandatory assembly on abstinence at her school? It seems the principal who threatened to call the university she planned to attend for that isn’t done trying to punish her:

Jesus vs Voodoo in North Miami Mayoral Race
On Tuesday, the voters in North Miami went to the polls to elect a new mayor. One of the six candidates for that office is Anna Pierre, who is — to put it mildly — batshit crazy. A month ago she claimed that her opponents were using voodoo against her. But that’s okay, because she …

Ray Comfort Teaches How to Proselytize
In Ray Comfort’s latest column for the Worldnutdaily, he decides to teach people how to proselytize to gay people. He offers up this conversation he allegedly had on an airplane with a lesbian couple as the perfect example of how to do this the right way:

The Fallen Eagle Has Landed. With a Thud.
Oh man, the latest freakout in the right wing blogosphere is quite hilarious. The White House twitter account has a fallen eagle on it! OMG! It’s some sort of secret Muslim signal, like those infamous “terrorist fist bumps” that the president and first lady give one another. The Jawa Report appears to have started the …

Ralph Reed’s Moneymaking Scheme
Ralph Reed was once Pat Robertson’s boy wonder, the head of the Christian Coalition. Then he left, made a failed run at governor of Georgia and founded his own group, the Faith and Freedom Coalition. And now he uses his deep connections on the Christian right and his massive mailing list to make some serious …

Buehner: Single Women Under Father’s Control
Dave Buehner of Generations Radio launched into quite a diatribe on his radio show, explaining — accurately — how the Bible clearly says that a woman is owned by her father until she gets married, then she is owned by her husband. And therefore they have no freedom or self-determination at any point:

Keyes Lies About Condoms
Alan Keyes seems to like the Talk to Solomon radio show, as he’s been a frequent guest over the last few weeks. Maybe it’s because Solomon gives him free reign to deliver his breathtakingly incoherent rants and tell lies. You know, like claiming that condoms have an 80% failure rate. He says letting a child …

Wiles Links 9/11 to the Illuminati
Rick Wiles is quickly distinguishing himself even from the usual wingnut radio hosts for his bizarre and incoherent rants and conspiracy theories. On a recent show he claimed that not only were the World Trade Centers destroyed by the Illuminati, but the height of the new tower there is a tribute to the Illuminati as …
