Right Wing Watch: Allowing the Rabid Right to self-satirize since 1783

I’m a huge fan of the folks at Right Wing Watch, a righteous and well-run project of People For the American Way. RWW is my destination of choice whenever I feel the need to feel better about myself by getting my fix of Teh Crazy. And I’m not just talking “I know not what I speak of, but I proclaim it to the four winds regardless.” No, I mean full-on, balls-to-the-wall, “My Righteous God will kick the ass of your puny, milquetoast, sorry Liberal excuse for an Almighty Deity.” RWW never disappoints, if for no other reason than they have SO much material at their disposal.

I realize that the Rabid Religious Right doesn’t have a monopoly on Teh Crazy, but it certainly seems that way at times. They do it up bigger and with more conviction than anyone other demographic out there. Perhaps what makes these folks so entertaining is their collective lack of self-awareness. The folks profiled by RWW honestly feel themselves to be anointed by the Lord to spread their zealotry, bigotry, and special brand of comedy far and wide…and they have NO idea that they’ve become fodder for late night comedians like Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert.

After the jump, you can sample some of the very special craziness and self-righteous bigotry that is the hallmark of the Rabid Religious Right. My treat.

At least now you won’t be able to say that I never give you nice things….

Hagee: Liberals and Islamists Hate America and Love Big Government: The Rev. John Hagee is a man of God in the same way Pamela Geller is Hamas’ biggest financial benefactor…and he’s about as lucid. Hagee expects to be treated with the respect due a Very Serious Man of God, and yet he spews hatred instead of the Gospel of Jesus Christ he purports to revere. Hagee’s judgmental intolerance is world class and truly worthy of being recognized by RWW.

Louie Gohmert Opposes Gun Control Because Gay Marriage Leads to Bestiality: Wow. Just wow. The only thing missing from Gohmert’s lunacy is an implied connection to the Illuminati.

Schlafly: ‘Reinstate the House Committee on Un-American Activities’: Because Joseph McCarthy understood that the only way to keep America safe for good, God-fearing, White American Christian Conservatives is to use the power of Congress to harass and oppress those who aren’t.

Fischer: Gays Should Face Job Discrimination Just As ‘We Discriminate Against Shoplifters’: It takes a truly creative and talented bigot to equate gays and lesbians with shoplifters. Impressive, huh??

Faith 2 Action Mocks Gay People Coming Out by Equating Homosexuality with Adultery: When merely hating someone isn’t nearly enough, it also helps to be able to equate someone’s lifestyle with a mortal sin. Hey, if it makes you feel better about yourself….

Joyner: The Government’s Failure to Stop the Boston Bombing Was Treason: And I suppose the Bush Administration’s failure to stop the 9.11 attacks was merely the result of unforeseen circumstances?

Fischer: ‘Eventually All of America Is Going to Agree With Me’ to Ban Muslims and Mosques: Because, as any right-thinking White Christian Patriot knows, all Brown People are terrorists.

Accuracy In Media Blames Marijuana for Boston Attack: Sounds as if someone’s been surreptitiously smoking some of the problem.
