Right Wing Leftovers

  • The Thomas More Law Center has filed a Freedom of Information Act request with the Department of Homeland Security seeking answers about the recent report on right-wing extremists.
  • Gary Dull and his nascent Faith and Freedom Institute received some press coverage for their participation in a “tea party” rally yesterday, declaring “stop taking our freedoms away from us.”
  • Bill Donohue opposes efforts to bring marriage quality to New York state, declaring “once you allow two men to marry there’s nothing left. You can’t stop three men from getting married. You could not stop Sam and Sally for that matter if they wanted to have an incestuous relationship granted by the state.”
  • The Christian Anti-Defamation Commission warns that hate crimes legislation is on its way, saying that “if this bill passes it lays the foundation for censoring Christians.”
  • The Judicial Confirmation Network’s Wendy Long pens an attack piece on judicial nominee David Hamilton in which she repeats the discredited claims about his ties to ACORN.
  • The Susan B. Anthony List declares that Gov. Sarah Palin’s decision to speak at the Vanderburgh County Right to Life Banquet in Indiana tonight proves that she is “authentic” and reflection of “her values and true persona.” I’d argue that her refusal to follow to state law in filling an empty Democratic seat in the state Senate is a better reflection of her values and persona.
