Right

In another high water mark for human decency, left-wing and right-wing commentators have recently managed to cast blame on each other over the unthinkably horrible massacre in Norway.

Everybody knows that the Libs aren’t totally about individual freedoms, Labor isn’t totally about working families and the… Read more »

The now-infamous crosshairs image

It was Sarah Palin what done it, officer. And other Right-wingers just like that witch.

Such is the deranged hatred that so many on the Left feel for the former Republican vice-presidential candidate.
