10) ThinkProgress

congratulations, tp, for this prestigious honor. if whackjobs like gaffney, comstock and ingraham are calling you out, you must be doing something right.
October 25th, 2007 at 12:31 pmThat’s a real honor. Just make sure someone else opens the mail.
October 25th, 2007 at 12:32 pmMy grandmother’s bridge team came in a disappointing 17th place.
October 25th, 2007 at 12:32 pmi’m so proud!!!
***hugs all around***
October 25th, 2007 at 12:32 pmHahahaha well, I guess homeschooling did wonders for them, that they think Universities are dangerous.
October 25th, 2007 at 12:32 pmten most irrelevant organizations in america:
10) family security matters…
October 25th, 2007 at 12:33 pmInteresting that Mediamatters, an organization who’s only mission statement is to highlight and expose right-wing media lies and distortions, is at the top of the list. When you mess with the right’s propaganda, they get very, very angry.
Congrats to Think Progress. You’re in good company.
October 25th, 2007 at 12:33 pm2) Universities and Colleges
all of them?
October 25th, 2007 at 12:34 pmall colleges and universities? hilarious. must include Oral Roberts’, Jerry Falwell’s and all the other ultra conservative ‘institutions of higher learning’. and we wonder why this country is the way it is.
October 25th, 2007 at 12:35 pmEducation is dangerous!
October 25th, 2007 at 12:35 pmROFLMAO, who would of guessed I get and send email to 6 out of the 10…Can we have the entire list please.? Want my odd’s to improve….Blessings
October 25th, 2007 at 12:35 pmWow, these people have gone around the bend! They believe their own spin and BS!
October 25th, 2007 at 12:36 pmThe Ten Most Dangerous Organizations in America
(Part Three of Three)
By Jason Rantz
With the help of the Internet, wealthy donors, and willfully ignorant newspapers and television networks, dangerous “hate†organizations are growing powerful in the world of politics. They aim to distort facts to push their own ideological agenda – usually at the expense of ethics, integrity, and morals. Unfortunately, these groups are propagandizing millions of Americans because biased newspapers, magazines, and cable news networks are knowingly treating the information these organizations spoon feed them as fact.
Hatred knows no ideology, and there are groups like this on both sides of the political spectrum. They may not share the same dogma, but what they do have in common is their unwillingness to bend in their strictly biased view of the world.
Based on their effectiveness of disseminating propaganda, here are the ten most dangerous organizations in America:
————————————————————————-
The above is the opening paragraphs from the FSM’s own site …..
It reads like the imbecile is writing about FAUX Comedy Channel….
October 25th, 2007 at 12:38 pmROFLMFAO!
America’s ‘most dangerous organizations:
10 - Republicans
October 25th, 2007 at 12:38 pm9 - Republicans
8 - Republicans
7 - Republicans
6 - Republicans
5 - Republicans
4 - Republicans
3 - Republicans
2 - Republicans
1 - puppies
Way to go TP!! Can anyone on the TP staff give us some idea of how much the site’s traffic increases after stupid lists like this are released?
October 25th, 2007 at 12:38 pmFan of Man is no fan of puppies
October 25th, 2007 at 12:39 pmIn other words, questioning the status quo is considered dangerous and must be squelched. Jefferson must be rolling in his grave.
October 25th, 2007 at 12:39 pmall colleges and universities? hilarious. must include Oral Roberts’, Jerry Falwell’s and all the other ultra conservative ‘institutions of higher learning’. and we wonder why this country is the way it is.
Actually, I think Oral Roberts’ and Jerry Falwell’s institutions are training camps and, therefore, fall into a different category.
October 25th, 2007 at 12:40 pmHow do you go to the doctor, or dentist, or hire a lawyer or accountant, when you believe that Universities and Colleges are dangerous organizations?
October 25th, 2007 at 12:40 pmWilco, puppy farts emit WAY too much methane, you know… its the leading contribution to global warming…. KILL THE CUTE PUPPIES!
October 25th, 2007 at 12:40 pmSo places that teach people about the world, educate them on a wide variety of topics, and often help to create a more informed and productive citizenry is … dangerous? Really?
That sure as hell does explain a lot, doesn’t it?
October 25th, 2007 at 12:40 pmThe 10 most dangerous to stopping the Fascist Brownshirters in their attempt to destroy the country and the constitution.
What an honor, when those Scum Sucking Neanderturds are afraid of you, you know you are doing good things for your country.

October 25th, 2007 at 12:41 pmCongrats go to MMFA!
Universities and colleges, better try harder next year.
October 25th, 2007 at 12:41 pmTranslation: The left and the far left.
October 25th, 2007 at 12:41 pmBTW , The ‘author’ , Jason Rantz , holds a Bachelor’s degree in Politics from Occidental College, Los Angeles …….
Makes a lot of sense doesn’t it ?
October 25th, 2007 at 12:42 pmYou know, if these clowns projected any more they’d be PowerPoint presentations …
October 25th, 2007 at 12:43 pmUm, hang on a minute…
Family Research Council? Isn’t this the right-wing conservative christian group run by James Dobson? Has the conservative FSM gotten its dangerosity lists mixed up? Why are they trying to alienate the most Jesusy of the Jesus lovin’ base?
League of the South sounds like another “The Confederacy shoulda won” kinda groups which are always tinged with a soupcon of anti-black racism, but I’m surprised something so garden-variety would merit being on FSM’s top 10 list as well, certainly that it’s more dangerous than CODE PINK!
This list just seems to be generated by a random “group we don’t like” generator that had its inputs mixed up.
October 25th, 2007 at 12:43 pmWow. I’m very proud to be a member of six of those organizations. ;o)
Betcha I’m on that honkin’ big terrorist watch list as well.
ITMFA!!!!!
October 25th, 2007 at 12:44 pmThey left out the Bush Administration.
October 25th, 2007 at 12:44 pmSo they fear the Center for American Progress more than Thinkprogress…
Isn’t that like saying you love God more than Jesus?
October 25th, 2007 at 12:44 pmWow. I’m very proud to be a member of six of those organizations. ;o)
Betcha I’m on that honkin’ big terrorist watch list as well.

Comment by Leftside Annie — October 25, 2007 @ 12:44 pm
Annie, I had no idea how dangerous you were. I mean, I know you’re lethal to trolls, but I didn’t realize the threat you pose to America itself.
October 25th, 2007 at 12:45 pmGood Grief. The Twilight Zone is real and we are in it!
I bet Sesame Street is number 11 on their list.
October 25th, 2007 at 12:45 pm#32 - teletubbies is 11th.
October 25th, 2007 at 12:46 pmMy God. They didn’t include Al Qaeda in Berkley and Cambridge on their list?
-GSD
October 25th, 2007 at 12:46 pmI reallly love the
Universities and colleges…
They hate higher learning!!!
hahahahaha
and THEY ??? They are making up a most dangerous list?
Its too funny.
How did we let these cretins multiply so far out of control.
We need to start executing the stupid.
October 25th, 2007 at 12:47 pmI’m thinking they threw FRC in there in a pathetic attempt to prove that the list was NOT a right-wing tantrum memo.
“No, we’re not biased! See? We included the Family Research Council! That proves that we’re Fair and Balanced®!”
October 25th, 2007 at 12:48 pmThese morons made their list based on an organization’s “unwillingness to bend in their strictly biased view of the world.”
Isn’t that the pot calling the kettle black?
October 25th, 2007 at 12:48 pmOnly #10.
October 25th, 2007 at 12:49 pmTsk tsk. How disappointing.
It’s time to call Anthony Romero, ACLU is falling down on the job - Number 7. Guess I’ll need to send them more money. MoveOn.org, congratulations making good use of my money, there. Media Matters & Think Progress - Keep up the good work!!
October 25th, 2007 at 12:50 pmcongratulations.
you can wear this badge with honor
October 25th, 2007 at 12:50 pm10) ThinkProgress
2) Universities and Colleges
FSM is correct. Falwell’s Liberty University and Pat Robertson’s Regent University are far greater dangers to this country than ThinkProgress could ever hope to be.
October 25th, 2007 at 12:51 pmWoohoo!
We’re dangerous!

Comment by MeYeZone — October 25, 2007 @ 12:48 pm
Good point. One might reasonably infer that the “Family Security Matters” believes that a “willingness to bend” in an open-minded view of the world is a virtue to be embraced. In other words, they value flexibility in outlook. Tolerance of others’ opinions…
Oops. So much for that inference.

everyone needs to contact them and let them know what a great laugh they have given everyone…
October 25th, 2007 at 12:54 pmBut TP is part of CAP, which is fifth on the list. So if CAP wasn’t sponsoring TP, maybe they would have ranked only sixth or seventh.
October 25th, 2007 at 12:54 pmThat’s an interesting list.
Mao recognized that universities and colleges were dangerous to his agenda as well; hence the need to kick college graduates out of any positions of power and elevate the uneducated peasantry during the Great Leap Forward.

Nice.
October 25th, 2007 at 12:55 pmGee. Too bad I’m not a lesbian!
Then I’d be freakin’ INVINCIBLE. ;o)
October 25th, 2007 at 12:57 pmCongratulations, Guys.
I think of you as kinda fun to argue with, not real dangerous. Well, except Tripmaster, that man has to be stopped….
October 25th, 2007 at 12:57 pm#46 Wow, that organization is quite a freak show.

Comment by VerbalKint — October 25, 2007 @ 12:54 pm
Exactly, Verbal.
Plus Daily Kos didn’t even make the top ten! And to hear O’Lielly tell it, there’s no greater threat to democracy and apple pie than Daily Kos. So live it up, TPers! You’ve earned it!
October 25th, 2007 at 12:58 pmI consider myself a response group to a hate group headed by FOX and the Republican party.
I was never interested in politics until Bush.
October 25th, 2007 at 12:58 pmBeing educated is the biggest threat to conservatives? I think that says it all, just listen to the callers to right wing radio and it is plain to see they rely on 8th grade education levels and below.
October 25th, 2007 at 12:59 pm“I know very well that there are many people that have very good reason to believe me to be bad tempered and an arrogant bastard.

October 25th, 2007 at 1:00 pmGive it time and the Republicans will consider that a list of terrorist organizations.
October 25th, 2007 at 1:00 pmSo let’s see….I am a regular troll hunter at TP, I belong to MoveOn, and I work at a University. Yup, I just hit a trifecta.
Do I get extra credit for belonging to the Union of Concerned Scientists?
October 25th, 2007 at 1:00 pmI’m going to go taunt those losers at DailyKos. Couldn’t even cut the top-10…
October 25th, 2007 at 1:00 pmUmmm , Family Security Matters
Care to explain how Think Progress and/or anyone else named on your ridiculous “list” has turned out to be more dangerous than yourselves and the rest of the religious right ?
After all : you’re the chuckleheads responsible for (s)electing and re-(s)electing the worst president in US history …..And you believe you’re qualified to talk about who is and isn’t “dangerous” ?
Buy a mirror……….
October 25th, 2007 at 1:01 pmI love how the right wing labels ALL Universities and Colleges as the second most dangerous organizations in America. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…
As a current college student I am proud to know that my intellectual curiosity threatens those poor, frightened lemmings. :)
LOL… I really can’t get over it. They are basically stating that if you are educated you are a “threat to America”. Therefore, they state that everyone on the right is uneducated, thus “patriotic”.
haha, it’s too much!!!
October 25th, 2007 at 1:01 pmThe League of the South is a Southern nationalist organization whose ultimate goal is “a free and independent Southern republic.” The group defines the Southern United States as the states that made up the former Confederacy, plus Oklahoma, Missouri, Kentucky, and Maryland. While political independence ranks highly among the group’s goals, it is also a religious and social movement, advocating a return to a more traditional, conservative Christian-oriented Southern culture.
How did these not-jubs make the list? It sounds like kind of people Family Secty Matters would emulate.
October 25th, 2007 at 1:02 pmIsn’t it amazing that keeping the public informed has now become a threat. Thank you for being one of the few that have America’s best interest at heart.
October 25th, 2007 at 1:04 pmWell… I, as a member of the highly dangerous group “Universities and Colleges” must go to “class” now… Really though we will be discussing how to hate America, of course. LOL
October 25th, 2007 at 1:04 pmLOL… I really can’t get over it. They are basically stating that if you are educated you are a “threat to Americaâ€. Therefore, they state that everyone on the right is uneducated, thus “patrioticâ€.

October 25th, 2007 at 1:05 pmI like the *other* FSM better…
October 25th, 2007 at 1:05 pmThe Flying Spaghetti Monster is funnier, too, if only slightly.
Family Research Council and League of the South must not be hateful enough for FSM to keep in the fold. Gotta try harder, guys! Maybe a few lynchings will get League of the South off the list. I’m not sure what FRC needs to do. Maybe they haven’t fulfilled their Pioneers for Bush quota.
October 25th, 2007 at 1:05 pmteletubbies is 11th
Technically, teletubbies isn’t an “institution. It’s just a collection of stuffed animals. You know . . . kinda like Darth Cheney.
October 25th, 2007 at 1:05 pmThe Family Research Council (FRC) is a Christian right non-profit think tank and lobbying organization. It was formed in the United States by James Dobson in 1981 and incorporated in 1983. The group was designed to be a lobbying force for conservative legislation on Capitol Hill. In the late 1980s the group officially became a division of Dobson’s main organization Focus on the Family, but in 1992 IRS concerns about the group’s lobbying led to an administrative separation. Its function is to promote what it considers to be traditional family values. The current president is Tony Perkins.
The Family Research Council has been publicly involved in promoting socially conservative views on many issues, including divorce, homosexuality, and abortion. The Church Report ranks FRC first in the category of Christian political organizations.
These people seem like absolute neocon kooks as well.
What the hell are the criteria it takes to make this list?
October 25th, 2007 at 1:07 pmI cannot express my pride adequately. Congratulations to TP and all my posting mates.
October 25th, 2007 at 1:10 pm******************* CONGRATS!!!! TP ********************

October 25th, 2007 at 1:12 pmgood job, obviously your doing something right.
October 25th, 2007 at 1:13 pmi bet jesus came in 13th!
October 25th, 2007 at 1:13 pmSo… we fellow Pastafarians aren’t considered dangerous anymore? rAmen!
How about those people who say “Happy Holidays” instead of “Merry Christmas”? What’s their place on that list?

Comment by Luis M — October 25, 2007 @ 1:14 pm
My guess is that they’re not dangerous enough because they haven’t set up their own web site yet.
October 25th, 2007 at 1:15 pmAnd how do they justify calling the ACLU a hate organization? The only objective the ACLU has is to protect the civil rights of Americans. All Americans. Whether it’s tree-hugging environmentalists or the KKK.
They would even fight for the right of Family Security Matters to publish lists like this one.
So where’s the hate?
October 25th, 2007 at 1:16 pm#2 - Universities and colleges
So they’re pro-moron?
October 25th, 2007 at 1:17 pmAnybody notice this disclaimer at the bottom of the list?
Note — The opinions expressed in this column are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the opinions, views, and/or philosophy of The Family Security Foundation, Inc.

October 25th, 2007 at 1:18 pmHot damn!!! Wooo Hooo!!!
Congrats TP and its liberal posters here(myself included).
We are most likely on the FBI watch list as subversive(I’m sooooo proud).
Since I’m a college grad, I’m probably listed as dangerous that way too.
POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!! (:-D)
October 25th, 2007 at 1:18 pmI think we just beat out 12-yr-olds by a hair.
October 25th, 2007 at 1:18 pmAnd righties say that we’re paranoid, conspiratorial, and don’t think for ourselves????
HAAAAA!!!!
righties are the lamest human beings on the planet.
October 25th, 2007 at 1:19 pmGood point. One might reasonably infer that the “Family Security Matters†believes that a “willingness to bend†in an open-minded view of the world is a virtue to be embraced. In other words, they value flexibility in outlook. Tolerance of others’ opinions…
Oops. So much for that inference.
Comment by ralph the wonder llama — October 25, 2007 @ 12:53 pm
FSM has a sort of Frank Burns view of the world. Frank once said “I don’t mind individuality, as long as we’re all doing it together.” In other words, you have the freedom to do, say, and think what we want you to.
October 25th, 2007 at 1:20 pmWhere are the trolls? Surely their contributions here must be acknowledged by this prestigious organization. Shameful.
October 25th, 2007 at 1:20 pmOh Man! This is just too funny. There are at least 5 groups on this list that I claim membership in or comment on. These people are really losing it.
October 25th, 2007 at 1:21 pmooops- forgot to include that I’m also a proud to be an official “card-carrying member of the ACLU.
And a member of Vietnam Veterans Against the War
Ain’t I dangerous? heh,heh

gummitch is right — here we are congratulating ourselves for this prestigious achievement, and we’re forgetting one very important element in TP’s success as a threat to America — our beloved trolls.
Without them, these threads would probably never generate the harsh language and brutal rhetoric that the trolls sinpire with their idiocy, and tighty righties could never take our posts out of context and use them to brand TP as a “hate site”.
So how about a round of applause for the trolls? This is their award too!

October 25th, 2007 at 1:36 pmTRUTH
YEEAAAAH! GO TP.
I almost had coffee come out of my nose when I saw “Universities and Colleges”.
I am so proud:
1. I went to college (but I probably lose points for still having a semester left - not sure when I will finish).
2. I am a member of MoveOn.org
3. I am an ACLU member (I donate once in a while - I think that makes me a member)
4. Donated to Center For American Progress
5. Donated to MMFA

War in Iraq = attacking terrorists
WMD’s
Yellow cake uranium
al qaida is who we’re fighting in Iraq (only 29% of the “insurgents” are AQ)
There have been no more terrorist attacks under bush’s watch (wow, not even on our allies, and against American interests abroad?)

They ignore “facts”? They actually are critical of stoopid thinking and dubious claims? Imagine. In a perfect world, all viewpoints are equally valid, and how dare they say someone’s full’o’sh*te….

(sigh) I do get tired of explaining this over and over, but, since you’re the only troll who showed up to endorse the FSM list, and it’s a special day for you too, I’ll go over it one more time:
YOU are a “24%er” because you still support President Bush. You’re one of the 24% who do.
By the same logic, an “11%er” of which you speak would have to be one who supports the Congress, right? Are you with me so far?
Now, we can look at this two ways — one is that the horrible approval rating that you cite (and it is only the very lowest out there — most are above the President’s numbers) applies to Congress as a whole; that is, to BOTH parties in Congress. And since Congressional Republicans consistently poll more poorly than Democrats, you’re already on logically shaky ground.
The second way to look at this is that ALMOST NO ONE HERE APPROVES OF THE JOB CONGRESS IS DOING. Since an “11%er” is, by definition, one who approves of the job Congress is doing, this fact makes your casual slur even more absurd than most of your posts.
But thanks for doing your part to get TP into the Top Ten!

In fact, they didn’t state them for very long once the evidence came out. Your role models are the ones that continue to “state [the] falsities” that you are citing.
In fact, by citing these as falsities, you are admitting that you agree with most of us here. We agree that they are “falsities”, why are we arguing?

October 25th, 2007 at 2:00 pmFourteen Defining Characteristics of Fascism
#11. Disdain and suppression of intellectuals and the arts. Intellectuals and the inherent freedom of ideas and expression associated with them were anathema to these regimes. Intellectual and academic freedom were considered subversive to national security and the patriotic ideal. Universities were tightly controlled; politically unreliable faculty harassed or eliminated. Unorthodox ideas or expressions of dissent were strongly attacked, silenced, or crushed. To these regimes, art and literature should serve the national interest or they had no right to exist.
October 25th, 2007 at 2:01 pm“Iraq does pose a serious threat to the stability of the Persian Gulf and we should organize an international coalition to eliminate his access to weapons of mass destruction. Iraq’s search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to completely deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power.†— Al Gore, 2002
Comment by TCDon — October 25, 2007 @ 1:49 pm
There’s nothing false about this statement. Saddam was a destabilizing influence in the region and he did have the desire to acquire WMDs. Nobody disputes that. But what Al Gore DOESN’T say is that we should invade Iraq almost unilaterally, replace Saddam with a power vacuum, disband the army, make millions of Iraqis unemployed with de-Ba’athification, and start a civil war.
See the difference?

But his source is an article on ScientificAmerican.com that tells about the judge in the U.K. ruling against showing An Inconvenient Truth in schools. He does NOT cite members of the “scientific community.”
The judge, by the way, stated that “he had no complaint about Gore’s central thesis that climate change was happening and was being driven by emissions from humans.”
A NYT review is also cited in the article on Scientific American:
October 25th, 2007 at 2:05 pm“The small errors don’t detract from Gore’s main point, which is that we in the United States have the technological and institutional ability to have a significant impact on the future trajectory of climate change.”

Comment by TCDon
Then why this sick comedy routine?
At a media dinner Wednesday, President Bush joked about how no weapons of mass destruction have been found in Iraq, eliciting laughter from many of the journalists in attendance. We get a reaction from a father and twin brother of a soldier killed in Iraq and we speak with The Nation’s David Corn who attended the dinner. [includes rush transcript]
——————————————————————————–
While millions of people marked the first anniversary of the invasion of Iraq this week by protesting against war on Saturday, President Bush marked the event in a different way: joking about how no weapons of mass destruction were found.
At a black-tie dinner for Radio and Television Correspondents’ Association on Wednesday, Bush poked fun at himself and his administration for among other things not finding weapons in Iraq.
At one point Bush showed a photo of himself looking for something out a window in the Oval Office. He said: “Those weapons of mass destruction have got to be somewhere.”
After a few more slides, there was a shot of Bush looking under furniture in the Oval Office. Bush said “Nope. No weapons over there.” Then another picture of Bush searching in his office. He said “Maybe under here.”
According to the Nation’s David Corn many of the journalists at the dinner laughed throughout the skit.
But the Daily News is reporting that the families of soldiers killed in Iraq are not laughing.

October 25th, 2007 at 2:06 pmTC Don, the administration said that Iraq had WMD’s which were an immediate threat to our country. Can you site any example of our forces finding any WMD’s which are a threat to our country? If you have some evidence you’d like us to consider, let’s have it.
October 25th, 2007 at 2:06 pmI use the term “11%ers†in response to TP’s use of the term 24%ers to falsely refer to Conservatives. The reality is that 24% figure is from the same Zogby poll and in large part represents the fact that so many Conservatives don’t approve of the President because he has not been Conservative enough. Thus Conservatives are not 24%ers any more than you so-called “progressives†are the 11%ers. Get it?
