  • Glenn Beck stands by his assertion that President Obama is a racist.  And I stand by my assertion that Glenn Beck is a joke.

  • Hal Turner: FBI informant?  Apparently.

  • Alvin McEwen continues to explain how religious right groups distort legitimate research to demonize the gay community.

  • Box Turtle Bulletin: Matt Barber is not exactly an intellectual giant, but sometimes he’s so illogical and ridiculous that you just have to laugh.

  • The Louisiana Democratic Party's spokesman responds to Sen. David Vitter's comment that it is Southern senators who are keeping the GOP committed to "core conservative value": "Last time I checked, you don't find core Southern values in the places David Vitter has been found. If David Vitter can lead his party back to their conservative values, maybe Larry Craig can give them tips on bathroom etiquette and Mark Sanford can recommend a really good restaurant in Buenos Aires."

  • Sarah Posner: A rabbi, Tony Perkins, and Maggie Gallagher walk into a bar ...

  • Finally, even Bill O'Reilly and Michael Steele are getting tired of the Birthers' absurd crusade.

CNS reports on Republicans who support maintaining the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy: "Sen. Larry Craig (R-Idaho) told CNSNews.com, 'Current policy has served us well. I think we ought to sustain it. I see no evidence that it should be repealed.'”

Vitter, Craig Reintroduce Marriage Amendment

With Congressional Republicans terrified of the potentially disastrous electoral showing that seemingly awaits them this November, it looks as if they are pulling out all the stops to demonstrate to their right-wing base that they are committed to advancing their agenda, no matter how obvious the pandering or how fruitless the effort may be – which explains why several Republican Senators have, once again, introduced the Federal Marriage Amendment.

The ultimate irony is that two of its main sponsors are Sen. David Vitter of Louisiana and Sen. Larry Craig of Idaho – not exactly the poster boys of the family values crowd or particularly upstanding examples of the supposed sanctity of the “union of a man and a woman”:

SJ 43 IS

Rev. Rob Schenck of Faith and Action offers some unsolicited advice to Sen. Larry Craig and even pens a sample statement for him that concludes: "I hereby resign my seat in the United States Senate. Thank you."
