1. Ayan Hirsi Ali: Bibi Netanyahu deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. Say what?

Unless the whole definition of peace was suddenly changed without our knowing it, we’re a little befuddled at noted Somali-born, anti-Islamic author and activist Ayan Hirsi Ali’s suggestion that Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu deserves the Nobel Peace Prize.

2. Ultra-conservative Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback isn’t very popular anymore. And that’s gotta be Obama’s fault.

Republican Gov. Sam Brownback has managed the seemingly impossible: turning redder-than-red state Kansas against Republicans. He had a very poor showing in his state’s recent primary, nearly a third of the voters voting against him, and that can’t possibly have anything to do with how he’s driven the state into the ground with far-right fiscal policies, tax-slashing and a hard-right Christian social agenda.

3. GOP Rep. Mo Brooks: Democratic Party is waging a war on whites.

Not sure if you were aware of this. But there’s a war going on. A war against white people. Kind of similar to the war on Christmas and the war on rich people. It’s awful. And it’s being waged by the Democratic Party. So says GOP Rep. Mo Brooks during an interview this week with Laura Ingraham

4. Christian wacko Bryan Fischer: Of course Obama would defend those devil-worshipping Yazidis.

Hoo boy, Christian nutjob Bryan Fischer of the American Family Association heard the words “devil worshippers” and “Obama” in the same sentence and he was off to the races. Never mind that the source was the uber-violent Sunni extremist group ISIS, which, as the world now knows, is terrorizing, butchering and attempting to exterminate a group of people in Iraq called the Yazidis for practicing a different faith than ISIS-approved Sunni extremism. Obama has ordered air strikes and help for the stranded Yazidis, whom ISIS considers to be “ devil worshipers.” And why would they lie?
