Uber-Conservative News

In my search for right wing news that pertains to this week's discussion, I came across a wonderfully applicable website--RightWingNews.com!

The top story on this site is a post from a Conservative blogger who calls himself "The Other McCain," aka Robert Stacy McCain. The particular post highlighted is a response to Courtney's favorite, Andrew Sullivan, and his remark that gay marriage can be interpreted as the "original intent" of the founding fathers by the phrase "civil equality." His post is well worth reading, as it is unbelievably right wing and, even though he predicted I'd say it, extremely homophobic. He goes so far as to support Rod Dreher's comment that the protesters in California are the real bigots in this case, with their signs, chants and recklessness!

Here's another poster on the same site talking about how Obama's presidency will result in a steady flow of "absurd racist claims," like the recent Connecticut man who apparently claimed breathalyzers discriminate against blacks.
