Because the news cycle has been so dominated by events in Egypt, Rachel and others have not covered several news stories that would normally be at the top oh her list.  Last night she caught op on two of them.  In the first, she discusses the negative effects of Fox disinformation on our national discourse, which I covered yesterday in Republican Propaganda Ministry Preaches Fear!<\/a>  In the second, she explains the relationships between religious right pseudo-Christianity, hatred of gays, the family, C Street house, the Ugandan \u201cKill the gays\u201d bill, and the murder of David Cato, which I covered on January 27 in Supply-side Jesus Has Death Panels Too!<\/a>, and referenced Thursday in Obama Was Wrong to Pray with Hate Mongers<\/a>.  In both video\u2019s Rachel does such a superior job at exposing right wing insanity, that they are well worth the time to watch.<\/font><\/p>\n

Here she also interviews Chris Hayes.<\/font><\/p>\n

There is no excuse for a so-called news channel, not just the goons like Beck and Hannity, to intentionally distort facts and thereby misinform the American people.  It\u2019s almost impossible to have a meaningful discussion with a righty, because the only version of events they know bears no resemblance to the truth.<\/font><\/p>\n

By all means America\u2019s government should take the lead in protecting the rights of LGBT Ugandans, instead of hobnobbing with the Family at their National Prayer breakfast.  After all, American Republicans took the lead in formulating Uganda\u2019s \u2018kill the gays\u201d bill.  I think it probable that they see Uganda as a trial run for similar activity in the US.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
