In another example of the hypocrisy we see from the GOP, let’s have a look at that old “demon pass”: Emphasis added.

TPM brings us another epoisode of the crazies talking out the wrong orifice: Ed Martin, a Republican candidate for Congress in Missouri, said in a radio interview with a conservative talk show host that President Obama and Rep.

Well the Knoxville Police have released some of the findings from the search of Adkisson’s home: Police found right-wing […]
McCain is in it knee deep when Klein is even going after him: Hagee is a loose cannon Revelation literalist who believes that a Greater Israel–including the Palestinian territorities–will presage Armeggedon and the Rapture.
