Beaten on Gay Marriage, Rightbloggers Begin Berating Straights

Maybe it's because everyone's sick of fighting over gay marriage. Maybe it's because our rightblogger friends' tactic of Adam-and-Steving the issue hasn't helped their increasingly hopeless cause, even within the Republican Party. In any case some of the brethren are working a new angle. Well, not ... More >>

Obama's Modest Proposals Drive Rightbloggers Gun Crazy

Drop in Birth Rates, Rise of Single Voters Set Rightbloggers to Raving

The day-to-day business of rightblogging -- harrying Susan Rice, cheering on congressional Republicans, and so forth -- is not very satisfying to us, nor (apparently, from their tedious writing on those subjects) to them. So we were happy for them and for ourselves when some recent reports showed t ... More >>

Rightbloggers' Solution to Obama's Reelection: Bring Back Culture War and White People!

It would be cruel to take too much pleasure in the rightblogger reactions to last Tuesday's events. Lest we forget, Democrats too have been known to lose faith in their fellow Americans when a big election doesn't go their way. So let us, after a brief review of their wrathful ejaculations, focus o ... More >>

Priorities: On Eve of Election, Rightbloggers Rage at Slightly Sexy Obama Ad

Rightbloggers Revel in Romney Rout, But Good Job Numbers Put Them Back in Tinfoil

Rightbloggers had one of their best weeks of the campaign. First their candidate, Mitt Romney, bested President Obama in a debate, and then the Labor Department posted a drop in the U.S. unemployment rate. Both events convinced them of impending electoral victory, as the first proved that the Presid ... More >>

Rightbloggers Turn Benghazi Truthers, Spin Egypt, Libya Riots As Obama Treason

Last week, upon learning that an anti-Islamic film existed, extremists in several Arab cities rampaged, and in Benghazi killed four Americans, including the U.S. Ambassador.

When Rightbloggers Tell You the Battle of Chick-fil-A Isn't About Gay Rights, It's About Gay Rights

In years to come, rightbloggers will tell their grandchildren many stories of the glorious summer of twenty-twelve. They'll tell 'em how they warned America about the socialist menace of the Olympics. They'll tell 'em how, in the wake of the Aurora shooting, they defended assault weapons against Dem ... More >>

After Batman Theater Shooting, Rightbloggers Rush to Defend What's Important: Guns, Themselves

Last week's terrible incident in Aurora, Colorado in which 70 people were shot, 12 fatally, at a midnight showing of The Dark Knight Rises made many of us think about how awful these episodes of senseless violence are, how precious and fragile life is, and that we should stay close and be good to ou ...

Sick, Sick, Sick: Rightbloggers Run a Fever after Obamacare Decision

Last week's Supreme Court decision on the Affordable Care Act (aka the ACA, aka Obamacare, aka TreasonHitlerStalin) caught nearly everyone by surprise.

Dog Soldiers: Rightbloggers Meld with Mitt over Obama Mutt Meal Story

For months, the growing probability that Mitt Romney, least acceptably conservative of the Republican Presidential contenders, would face Obama in November made rightbloggers moody and irritable. They've been coming around, but slowly. When Newt Gingrich's supporters attacked Romney's years as a c ... More >>

Racist with an Explanation: Rightbloggers Defend John Derbyshire

Last week John Derbyshire, a now-former writer for National Review, published elsewhere an article that was plainly racist -- by which we mean, its racism was not veiled or masked in the manner that has become common among rightbloggers, but overt; it asserted that black people were less intelligent ...

Lights Off for Earth Hour? Rightbloggers Leave Lights On, Declare Victory Over So-Called "Environment"

Conservatism is making a big comeback, folks. The proof? The tremendous success of Human Achievement Hour on Saturday. What, you never heard of it? Well, you've heard of Earth Hour, right? That thing where all the stupid hippies turned their lights off for an hour to celebrate their precious, so-ca ... More >>

Rightbloggers Ride Rush Limbaugh's Slut Wagon Into a Ditch

Remember the Clarence Thomas hearings, and how David Brock (then a right- rather than a left-wing operative -- yes that's how long ago it was!) called Anita Hill "a little bit nutty and a little bit slutty"? Remember how decent people were outraged by this appalling breach of decorum? Boy, those we ... More >>

Rightbloggers Denounce Occupy Wall Street, Which Is Totally Not Like the Tea Party Because Hippies

Back during the Tea Party heyday, months ago, rightbloggers would applaud the guys and gals in tricorners who gathered in public to protest the "ruling class" that, they said, was destroying America, and agitate for a new Revolution.

Rightbloggers Defend Rich Bastards from Obama's Tax Plan

If rightbloggers believe in anything, it's that taxes are bad -- especially if they're on people making over a million dollars. When it was revealed that President Obama would propose a tax on millionaires, the brethren loyally manned the barricades to defend America's rich -- e.g., Donald Trump, ... More >>

On Shutdown Budget Deal, Rightbloggers Agree: Planned Parenthood is Evil

Last week's threatened shutdown of the federal government over the budget was averted, at least temporarily, by a compromise plan. The compromise throws the big-spending Democrats into reverse, and gives Republicans who had promised sweeping cuts a small, face-saving victory. Now onto the next ... More >>

Rightbloggers Compare Large National Protests (Union) Unfavorably with Large National Protests (Koch Brothers)

Last weekend rallies were held in all 50 states in support of the teachers' union in Wisconsin.

Hundreds of thousands of people tur ... More >>

Rightbloggers Comfort the Real Victims of the Gabrielle Giffords Shooting: Themselves

After Saturday's shootings in Arizona -- which left Democratic Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords badly wounded and six people dead -- rightbloggers were swift to condemn... any possible criticism of themselves. You can understand their defensiveness. Back during the 2010 campaign, Sarah Palin had en ... More >>

The 10 Best Rightblogger Rants of 2010: Obama vs. Jesus, The Sperm Donor Menace, And More!

What a horrible year it's been.

Rightbloggers on DADT: A Slow March Toward Tolerance, With Side Trips to Insanity

This weekend the Senate repealed Don't Ask Don't Tell -- the 17-year-old policy that allowed gays to serve in the U.S. military only if they could conceal their sexual orientation.

Rightbloggers Say They'll Change The Constitution to Fix Problems You Never Knew You Had

Two years ago, conservatives were on the ropes. But the GOP victories in last month's elections have them dreaming big again. They're back to talking about destroying the Democrats once and for all.

Rightbloggers Denounce Stewart - Colbert Rally to Restore Sanity Cat Stevens

On Saturday in Washington Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert held their Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Keep Fear Alive.

Rightbloggers, Delighted to Find Black Guy Scared of Muslims, Defend Juan Williams

Celebrity journalist Juan Williams had a good week, on balance. First, he was fired by National Public Radio for remarks he made on Fox -- his other major employer -- about his fear of Muslims on airplanes. That might seem at first a minus, but Williams was immediately rewarded by Fox with a new $ ... More >>

Ace In The Hole: Rightbloggers Say Chile Mine Rescue Means Obama Sucks, Capitalism Rules

Last week we talked about the Tennessee fire department that let a man's house burn to the ground because he hadn't paid protection money, and the rightbloggers who thought this was a laudable example of free market justice. This week they celebrated another free market triumph -- though at least t ... More >>

Stephen Colbert Gets Truthy with Congress; Rightbloggers Scream Like Stuck Eagles (And So Do MSM Reporters)

Long, bitter experience -- and long, bitter comments at this blog -- have taught us that if there's anything conservatives hate more than Big Gummint and homosexuals, it's someone making fun of them. The outrage that Boss Tweed expressed over "them damned pictures" of himself drawn by Thomas Nast is ... More >>

Prop 8, Michelle Obama, Ground Zero Mosque: Are Conservatives Basically The Honky Party?

Last week Judge Vaughn Walker's decision setting aside Prop 8 in California unleashed plenty of grumbling from rightbloggers. As it involves gay people, this was to be expected.

Rightbloggers Go Alex Jones, Denounce Bipartisan "Ruling Class," Propose Groovy Revolution -- to Elect Republicans

Recently the top Google Trend item -- with "volcanic" traffic -- was "Obama Deception Censored." The phrase relates to filmmaker and Infowars proprietor Alex Jones' claim that his movie Obama Deception had been "erased, obliterated, censored" from YouTube via a hacked password. (He doesn't explai ... More >>

Rightbloggers Denounce Goddamn Liberal Law & Order, Celebrate Tea-Party Robin Hood, and Other Culture War Gibberish

After 20 years on NBC, Law & Order has been cancelled (though it may get picked up by TNT). The show had an extraordinary run -- one season shy of a TV drama-series record. So it would seem reasonable to blame its demise on old age and a superfluity of L&O spin-offs, right? Not in rightblogger wor ... More >>

The New Tea Party People: Now With Black People (Onstage, Anway), Proud to Teabag, But Still Batshit Insane

There were several Tea Parties on April 15, and rightbloggers who normally have nothing good to say about the "main stream media" (whom they consider biased and/or corrupt) were surprised by relatively flattering coverage from the New York Times, CBS, and other agents of the evil MSM. Perhaps bec ... More >>

Hutaree Militia, Brick-Throwers, Victoria Jackson: Rightbloggers Find New Allies Way, Way Out on the Fringe

We hate to admit it, but the rightbloggers may be onto something when they talk about "false flag operations" against conservatives -- that is, opponents pretending to be rightwing, then acting crazy to discredit the cause. Take CNN's hiring of RedState lunatic Erick Erickson. As we all know, mains ... More >>

Does Instapundit Owe James Clyburn an Apology?

Harry Reid's "Negro" Remarks Spur Another Rightblogger Seminar on Who The Real Racists Are

Mark Halperin's and John Heilemann's new book Game Change about the 2008 Presidential campaign is full of hilarious revelations.

Senate Passes Health Care Bill; Democrats Doomed, Say Rightbloggers

​The Senate passed its version of the health care bill this morning on a straight party vote. The bill now has to be reviewed by the House of Representatives and reconciled with its own bill, which will probably take some time, especially as President Obama is now also pushing for a new jobs b ...

Rightbloggers Denounce Liberal Media's Defense of the Fort Hood Massacre

On Thursday Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan shot up Fort Hood, killing 12. Though a soldier for 12 years, Hasan apparently demonstrated, out loud, loyalty and affection for global jihad. It's appropriate to ask what such a person was doing in the U.S. Army.

Conservatives Urged to Boycott NFL

In the annals of rightwing hubris, we haven't seen much to equal this: one of the conservatives enraged that Rush Limbaugh's ex-partners have excluded him from their plans to buy the Rams (which Limbaugh and his followers blame on liberals) has proposed that patriots counter-attack by... boycotting ...

Obama Defends DOMA, Pisses Off Gay People

Boy, this is turning out to be a shitty Pride Month.

Pirates in Negotiation with Craven Obama Govt.

Rightbloggers Use Their Imagination on Obama-Leno, Protests, Etc.

Rightbloggers Say: Go Galt! We'll Catch Up With You Later!

President Obama has proposed ending the Bush tax cuts in 2011, bringing the top rates from 33 percent to 36 percent and from 35 percent to 39.6 percent. The lower of these hikes would apply to individuals making over $200,000 and households making over $250,000. This is not really news, as Obama ... More >>

Rightbloggers Hold a Sparsely-Attended Tea Party

Rightbloggers had a big project last week: A series of "tea parties" across the country to protest Obama and his stimulus bill, inspired by comments by CNBC's Rick Santelli (and, it has been suggested, by some rightwing pressure groups). The results were not a great success, at least in the ob ... More >>

Rightblogger Protests Short on Protesters, Long on Hype

When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, they traditionally take to the streets.
