I admire/feel sorry for the people over at rightwingwatch.org

what a horrible way to spend your days. As I trolled through their latest stories about right wing fundie whack jobs it was semi depressing to see the culture wars amplified and heated up through the voices of local right wing radio hosts and others who are illuminated by the rightwingwatch site.

First, I have to ask. Is there really an Iris modeled after Apple iPhone Siri? That's already pathetic enough. But when you ask about abortion, the thing connects to ChaCha answers and it tells you abortion is murder and starts quoting Bible verses.

That is screwed up. Now the right wing are going hard after JC Penney because Ellen Degeneris is a spokesperson. Unbelievable. Forget the fact that she is watched by millions of middle American lazy folks with nothing better to do on a late afternoon. They are having none of it!

I feel sorry for people who are caught up in that terrible negative world of right wing thought process and who cling to the charlatans who keep their rage stoked.

But I feel even more sorry for the people who don't believe that way at all but subject themselves to it so they can report to us what the right wing crazies are up to.

Bravo, rightwingwatch!! Bravo!

they wallow in bad news and wallow endlessly, cheering against anything good.

Guess I don't care for republicans much!

that they clearly have a deep gap in their own lives, and they are a "Theory X" kind of person who sees the bad in people and think people, in their very core, are bad. In fact, religion has a lot to do with promoting that type of though process/dogma.

The media equivalent of the poor guys on "Dirty Jobs" that have to pump out septic tanks and clean sewers. Unfortunately somebody has to do it.
