The Gatewood Pundit is a hard-right website that spends most of the day complaining about Barack Obama and liberals. It is a fairly popular blog, allegedly getting 4-5 million views each month, once again proving that being popular doesn't necessarily make you right.

Since it's basically just another blog that keeps in line with a radical right point of view, you probably know the drill by now.
Godwin's law invoked on Obama (surprise surprise) and the Daily Mail cited as a credible source.[1][2]
Godwin's law also invoked on environmentalists, because trying to do something about global warming is a "Fascistic/Statist (ie, Progressive) power grab".[3] The site in general is consistent on its global warming denialism.[4][5]
Pushing Birtherism, mainly through just asking questions combined with appeal to authority,[6][7] but sometimes they're more direct about it.[8][9] Obama may also be a member of the Muslim Brotherhood.[10]
Red-baiting, because they don't realize the Cold War is over.[11]
Gun nuttery, such as claiming that universal background checks will lead to Stalin-like tyranny.[12]
Pandering to homophobes.[13][14]

"They are using the gays to destroy Christianity, then the Muslims are going to kill all the gays, that's how they are going to take over the world." 42 upvotes, 0 downvotes[15]
I'd say considering other active legislation that is attempting to restrict any gun worth a shit from being in the hands of citizens, I'd say their claims are pretty damn well founded.
