Duggar Family Forms Pro-Life Coalition to Fight "Abortion Holocaust"

Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar of the popular TLC series 19 Kids and Counting are forming a coalition of pro-life groups to help fight against abortion.

The idea stems from their recent trip to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC; to the Duggars, abortion is itself a holocaust.

“A couple of weeks after we went to the Holocaust Museum it dawned on us that there is a holocaust taking place right here in America!” the Duggars wrote.

“More than 56 million lives have been destroyed in our country! That is over 4,000 babies being killed and 4,000 women being

United States President Barack Obama.

In a pre-recorded video, Obama said Jay-Z’s personal story is what Made In America – the concert series’ tagline – means. He also urged concert-goers to vote, obvs.

Eastwooding: Empty-Chair Meme Explodes After Actor’s RNC Speech

The biggest story to come out of Thursday’s conclusion of the Republican National Convention was not Mitt Romney’s acceptance specch, but #Eastwooding.

Eastwooding being the Twitter hashtag for parodies, jokes and memes at the expense of acting legend Clint Eastwood’s unusual, yet highly entertaining speech.

The 82-year-old debated an invisible Obama in an empty chair in what had to be the strangest endorsement of Romney all week, and the Internet went nuts.

Here’s the original photo – angled so Invisible Obama still uses a teleprompter (subtly hilarious) – along with some of our favorite

Dee Snider to Paul Ryan: We’re Not Gonna Take You Using My Song!

Republicans. When will they learn.

With some notable exceptions (Ted Nugent, Dave Mustaine, Hank Williams Jr.), music stars seem far from keen on having their material used at GOP campaign rallies.

Today, Dee Snider became the latest to decry such a move. He surely won’t be the last. Said a rep for the Twisted Sister rocker / Celebrity Apprentice star:

“It was brought to my attention today that Paul Ryan has been using client Dee Snider’s composition ‘We’re Not Gonna Take It’ in his political campaign to become the Vice President of The United States of America.

Hank Williams Jr. on President Obama: We’ve Got a Muslim President and We Hate Him!

Ah, Hank Williams Jr.

Guy really needs to join fellow musicians Ted Nugent and Dave Mustaine on a Anti-Obama Conspiracy Tour 2012. The sound bites would be incredible.

At his concert Friday night at the Iowa State Fair – where Obama bought beers earlier in the week – Williams absolutely laid into the President on stage.

What did he say, exactly?

Following Williams’ song “We Don’t Apologize For America” a chant of “U-S-A, U-S-A, U-S-A” broke out amongst the crowd, according to the Des Moines Register.

Hank told the crowd he was their mouthpiece, and said, “We’ve got a Muslim president who

Dave Mustaine: Barack Obama Staged Aurora Shooting!

Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine says President Barack Obama somehow “staged” the recent Colorado shooting as part of a conspiracy to ban guns. Seriously.

In comments that may put even Ted Nugent to shame, Dave suggested that Obama was behind the massacre perpetrated by James Holmes … and a lot more.

At a Tuesday, August 7 performance in Singapore, Mustaine told the crowd, “Back in my country, my president … he’s trying to pass a gun ban.”

“So he’s staging all of these murders, like the ‘Fast And Furious’ thing down at the border … Aurora, Colorado, all the people that were killed there …
