Black helicopters over Miami. EVERYBODY PANIC.

14

An airtight logical argument that the Second Amendment applies to military grade assault weaponry (It's in comic sans and written next to a stock image, so it must be true!)

13

Bryan Fischer: Jerry Sandusky as the new poster boy for Scouting

13

Teh EPA is taking away your wood burning stoves! Kinda like Obama coming for our guns! Too bad they don't pay attention to reality or science.

24

Criticizing the Texas Board of Education is just as bad as being in pre-Holocaust Germany.

15

A story about blaming the victim: US Women get the same right in the military that we've had only since 1989? That's good...but they get raped preggers, men want to "protect" them, muscle mass...GENDER EQUALITY IS EVIL! (Comments closed, as expected.)

14

Total stupid knobhead

16

European Union Times: Medvedev is off his meds and demands Obama to TELL PEOPLE THE TROOF ABOUT ALIENS! Puzzled looks in 3... 2... 1... (Actual circumstance: real speculative report misconstrued by Alfred Webre's lunatics and written up by Sorcha Faal for the neo-Nazis.)

12

Amateur "grey hat" hacker unjustly expelled for discovering a major security breach No, terminate with extreme prejudice!

19

Patheos's Bad Catholic is JAQing off about why humans wear clothes, but no other animals do it, proposing the Fall of Man as the explanation. As a bonus, included is one of those really historically accurate images of a "caveman" with a loincloth.

-1

Thom Hartmann demonstrates his utter ignorance of what the word "corporate" means in the context of fascism.

11

WND's token African-American nutjobs argue that secession is both a God-given right and constitutional, based on historical evidence from both the Founding Fathers and the Civil War.

21

Apparently to some people, RationalWiki documenting the fallacies of "Release the data!" is akin to creationism.

14

According to the League of the South, federal gun control should be met with "righteous and manly armed resistance." (Because the U.S. government is just like King George III, don't you know?)

14

Michael "Savage" Weiner and World Net Daily oppose flu vaccination.

16

22

"Legitimate rape" is back.

16

Ted Nugent interviewed in WND: Gun owners and a certain American icon of civil disobedience and passive resistance? They're the same (Except, of course, the gun owners will be heavily armed when they sit in the front of the bus.)

14

World Net Daily proves Betteridge's law twice in one day.

11

Vandana Shiva draws a moral equivalence between GMOs and rape.

21

Commenters call the article "a howler. Humor [as] last refuge for sanity" or "Very humorous"! Others say "Liberals will be sputtering for a response"! And this humorous, devastating article is... yet another slippery slope argument against gay marriage. (It's just like incest, apparently.)

30

Creationists admit that they can't prove anything... because they're not supposed to.
