American Thinker (affectionately nicknamed "American Stinker" by its fans) is an online wingnut publication that's more or less the poor man's WorldNutDaily or Newsmax. They've published articles by such conservative luminaries as Noel Sheppard and Pamela Geller and such climate experts as S. Fred Singer and Christopher Monckton, as well as an interview with (and hagiography of) white nationalist Jared Taylor.[2]
The magazine, of course, is chock-full of right-wing conspiracy theories, woo, and pseudoscience. On the conspiracy side, they promote birtherism, "creeping sharia," and still occasionally prattle on about Vince Foster. On the science side, they concentrate on creationism and global warming denialism.

Notable articles
- Time for Congress to Declare War on Obama (Obama is destroying 'Merica; Congress should declare war!)
- Is This the End Game for Liberal Racism? (Liberals are the true racist, sexist, homophobic bigots.)
- A Suicidal Collapse of Western Civilization? (Islamo-Fascist immigrants and attempts to stop global warming will destroy civilization!!1! Only Russia can save us!)
- If the Birther Issue Comes Up in Debate: (Could you imagine how AWESOME it would be if Mitt Romney disproved Barack Obama's citizenship during a presidential debate? NO?! That's ok I have the whole thing scripted here!)[3]
- RationalWiki: American Thinker is Wingnut Publication (The Thinker (or, sorry, Paul Austin Murphy, who was apparently on break from ranting about Muslims, Marxists, and Wikipedia articles[4]) is upset that RationalWiki labelled it "wingnut" and attacks RationalWiki's article for not having "a single argument of any kind", while in no way disproving the wingnuttiness of the Thinker. The Thinker claims that RationalWiki would not be willing to cite "good" conservatives and that RationalWiki doesn't ever attack leftists or left-wing conspiracy theories. When whining about being labeled conspiracy and pseudoscience prone they leave out their strong history of global warming denialism and apparently ignore the external links below, nor do they even deny being birthers. They also attack "rational" in the name. To the taps!)

- ↑ They overtly sympathize with him in this piece
- ↑ This ones worth a read because it's so over-the-top it goes into self-parody levels. For instance during the scripted exchange Mitt is also doing battle with the librul media, represented here by Candy Crowley.
- ↑ Why all the references to Uncyclopedia?
