An Interview with Charles Johnson

[Swede]

Sounds like someone has seen the light?

Few bloggers have had quite as controversial a career as Little Green Football’s Charles Johnson. Johnson began blogging in earnest back in 2001 after the attacks on the twin towers, and continues putting out content at a furious pace nearly a decade later.

But the main reason I can’t march along with the right wing blogosphere any more, not to put too fine a point on it, is that most of them have succumbed to Obama Derangement Syndrome. One “nontroversy” after another, followed by the outrage of the day, followed by conspiracy theory after conspiracy theory, all delivered in breathless, angry prose that’s just wearying and depressing to read.

1. he's a libertarian conservative

fwiw, and i usually can find some common ground with them. he's not a creationist (he relentlessly rags on creationism), believes in privacy (unlike much of the religious right) and definitely doesn't fall in for ODSyndrome.

he is of course notorious for the throbbing memo. say what you like, but in that ONE incident, he had arguably an incredible effect on that election. one blogger, in his pajamas, so to speak.
