The Family Research Council Blames the Southern Poverty Law Center For Recent Shooting

The Family Research Council, which was the target of a shooting attack earlier this week, issued an remarkably hypocritical statement today that placed some blame for the shooting on the Southern Poverty Law Center. The Council's president, Tony Perkins, said the shooting was made possible by the SPLC's criticism of…
Get the Christian Right's Hot New DVD Series, 'Resisting the Green Dragon'
Parents: Did you already get Junior that $0.99 lead-enriched plastic coal lump for this year's Christmas present during the maniacal "Black Friday" stampede? Morons! You should've ponied up for "Resisting the Green Dragon," the Religious Right's anti-environmentalist DVD series.
Anderson Cooper Outed, Forgiven By Al Sharpton
Anderson Cooper was talking last night about fundamentalist Christian attacks on Barack Obama with minister Al Sharpton, author Roland Martin and Family Research Council President Tony Perkins. The talk turned toward religious tolerance, and suddenly Sharpton was outing CNN's prettiest anchor as, gosh, some kind of…

Who owns that $130 million yacht?
Last Friday, CNBC ran a video clip about the Maltese Falcon, a $130 million clipper yacht owned by one of the most powerful men in Silicon Valley. But the business cable channel got his name wrong.

Dear Tony Perkins and the organizers of the AlwaysOn Stanford Summit:
Fresh from back in January: VCs bump heads at the Churchill Club's annual trend argument
What happens when you stick a handful of VCs into a room and ask them to pontificate? Apparently not much. By the time that notables like John Doerr and Steve Jurvetson got to this late excerpted part of their panel at the Churchill club, they were playing the Valley version of those late-night college bull sessions…
Buzzword Babylon at OnHollywood
OnHollywood, the conference held by the Tony Perkins's AlwaysOn Network that's just now wrapping up, shows the signs of a good and bad event. The good: A decent Flickr pool. The bad: A cluster on Tech Memeorandum. But the Flickr stream proves this was a missable event, or at least required a Web 2.0 Kool-Aid apéritif.
Tony Perkins' embarrassing web stats
To turn around the phrase on its head, on the web, everyone knows you're a dog. The internet may provide anonymity to individuals, but it leaves publishers nowhere to hide. A reader emails in about Tony Perkins, 'creator' and editor-in-chief of AlwaysOn, his news site for venture capitalists and other members of the…
Friend of Frank's
You know, I said I wasn't going to link to Always-On, but I've changed my mind. I was reading Always-On (I have a few brain cells left and I'd like to kill them) and I noticed an article by Red Herring founder Tony Perkins defending tech banker Frank Quattrone. Perkins notes that people have "run into Frank Quattrone…
