Andrew Sullivan takes Malkin to task on her alarmist tone over the DHS report: Why, one wonders, would Michelle Malkin read a DHS report on fringe, far-right extremism that could lead to violence or Oklahoma-style domestic terrorism and think … they’re talking about her? Rightwing nut-jobs have been the number one purveyor of domestic terrorism […]
By having his agencies screw up the terrorist watch list: A new Justice Department audit shows that for nearly three years the FBI gave outdated, incomplete and error-riddled data about terror suspects to be added to the government’s watchlist. Overall, the audit by the department’s inspector general gives the FBI a mixed review for its […]
Yesterday the wingnuts were quick to pin the blame of the Times Square bombing on the “anti-war left”. Now news comes out that the “anti-war” letters received by members of Congress yesterday was not connected to the bombing: There’s apparently no link between the bombing of an military recruiting station in New York’s Times Square […]
From Matthew Yglesias: “There has not been another attack on our soil since 9/11” — anthrax! Anthrax! Oh well. For some reason that whole episode has been officially erased from the historical record or something. Bob also reminds us of another terrorist attack – the D.C. snipers.

Looks like a repeat performance from last year: The campaign headquarters of Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards reopened today after authorities determined that the white powder found in an envelope wasn’t dangerous, campaign officials told The Associated Press. Edwards said a letter in the envelope contained “some negative comments” and powder spilled out of the […]

This is how loony the right is becoming, as they fear our newly elected Democratic congress: A radio talk-show entertainer whose earlier statements that he “may” have to assassinate members of Congress if the wrong people were elected Nov. 7 now has set a timetable for those killings. In a statement on his website, Hal […]
In a post talking about the Bolton resignation on Hot Air (you know – Michelle Malkin’s other site), one of their commenters made an interesting comment: Maybe after Bolton and his staff have vacated their offices, something could *happen* to the building. Liberal Catnip uncovered this comment and also has the screen shots of it. […]
First we learn that an admirer of Malkin was allegedly sending those fake anthrax letters to Democrats, or those who do not agree with every damn thing Bush says. Now we have another right-wing lunatic, one Atlas Shrugs, calling for diplomats and people at the State Department to be murdered. From Glenn Greenwald: Pam Atlas, […]
It has been four days now since the news that Chad Castagana was arrested in suspicion of sending fake anthrax letters to numerous stars and Democratic politicians. In this time, there has been a very eerie silence coming from the right-wing blogs, as well as the mainstream media. As matter of fact, the only person […]
