You got to love the little Tea Baggers and their constant denial of their inner hatred: The fringe tea party group Tea Party Nation sent out an email to its supporters over the weekend urging them to support Republican House candidate Lynne Torgerson against Rep. Keith Ellison (D) in Minnesota’s 5th District. The Maddow show […]
From Oliver Willis: I’ve just gotten off the phone with Atlanta Journal-Constitution political writer Jim Gallaway who says that Sen. Saxby Chambliss has confirmed that the ‘All faggots must die’ comment left here on JMG earlier today did indeed come from his Atlanta office. The comment was made over the repeal of DADT.

Continuing my readings of the backlash surrounding Ben Domenech’s resignation at the Washington Post, I came across another very interesting view from Captain’s Quarters: The entire tempest surrounding the hiring and termination of Ben Domenech as the Washington Post’s designated conservative blogger shows that the blogosphere has a lot of growing up to do.
