Bush's White House Spying on Iraqi Prime Minister

Fox News: 'McCain's TV Commercials Contain ... Out-Right Lies'
Steve Benen Washington Monthly

This post, written by Jill Filipovic, originally appeared on Feministe

Amanda sends on this post, which provides Conservapedia's most-viewed articles list:

1. Main Page [1,897,388]

2. Homosexuality [1,488,013]

3. Homosexuality and Hepatitis [516,193]

4. Homosexuality and Promiscuity [416,767]

5. Homosexuality and Parasites [387,438]

6. Homosexuality and Gonorrhea [328,045]

7. Homosexuality and Domestic Violence [325,547]

8. Gay Bowel Syndrome [314,076]

9. Homosexuality and Syphilis [262,015]

10. Homosexuality and Mental Health [249,14]

And just when I thought I couldn't laugh any harder, I find this gem in the comments:

I don't want to stand in denial of equal rights and all of that PC stuff but then again I do object to enrolling my five year old in the gay straight alliance. If you are going to promote something as beneficial to all of mankind than you best not attempt to shove it up my ass like it or not. That kind of thing sort of like, well, breeds contempt and reactionary behaviors.

And here I thought shoving things up my ass would breed Gay Bowel Syndrome,* not contempt and reactionary behaviors. If only my mandatory pre-school GSA had set me straight!

Digg!

Is Palin a Step Backwards for Women in Power?
Sarah Palin is a milestone, for we achieve true gender equality when an incompetent woman goes as far as an incompetent man.

Spread the word: "Republigay"

Though this hilarious list is likely the result of manipulation and pranksters, just for fun - and maybe to shake some low hanging fruit from the GOP sacred tree of intolerance - why not sprinkle it around all the blatantly homophobic conservative sites - which is probably about 90% of them.

Since these insecure, immature morons are complicit - knowingly or obliviously - in the sick neocon scheme to poison and plunder the soul of your country, I think it's only fair that you have a little fun while trying to defend your rights and preserve your heritage.

So, spread this list seriously wherever these fools hang out, actually or virtually, as if it's the total truth (it's easy, just behave like Fox) then sit back and enjoy their preposterous reactions and denials and desperate backpedalling. Who knows, you might even get one or two to rethink their primitive homophobia...maybe?...right?

Nostalgic for the days of Pharyngula clan and their work on such Conservapedia classics as "Theory of Legume-o-lution" and "Kangaroo":

"Like all modern animals, modern kangaroos originated in the Middle East and are the descendants of the two founding members of the modern kangaroo baramin that were taken aboard Noah's Ark prior to the Great Flood. It has not yet been determined whether kangaroos form a holobarmin with the wallaby, tree-kangaroo, wallaroo, pademelon and quokka, or if all these species are in fact apobaraminic or polybaraminic."

Perhaps the gay kangaroos died out from an infestation of parasites brought on by Gay Bowel Syndrome? Only the Schlaflys know for sure.

One has to laugh out loud with their preoccupation with gay sex, but then again, how else would a good Repugwican get any information on Gays. Guess you could hang out at the public restrooms, but might run into Larry Craig there.

This is a propaganda web site for Repugwicans,and Religious Right nut caseses, and does not contain any factual information. Certainly not a reputable source to quote from. But then who said Repugwicans deal in truth and the American Way.

May as well be an alternative to the Landover Baptist Church web site. (Landoverbaptist.org)
except that these people (Conservapedia) really believe what they say.

Note the massive use of American Flags and other patriotic symbols.

these GOP gays do have excellent taste in hustlers. Damn, if I could afford it, I'd be following their bread crumbs.

Check out the rest of the website, it's pretty nuts. I am honestly on the fence as to whether this site is satirical or not. Check out the "All pages" list. Then click on "Define Torture to Economics wages." Laugh profusely. Click on "Define Torture." This shit is hilarious

Fine then- Keep yer kids at home- we don't want them in Society if they can't play nice and treat others with respect...

I would love to start throwing Christians back to the Lions- but this isn't a tailored made society-

So I tolerate them-
