Hmm, Little Green Footballs Separates from Right

[AnnInLa]

Gosh, remember how we used to hate LGF? Then, its founder, Charles Johnson began pissing off the other RW bloggers, and a mini-war erupted. Tonight, he posted the following: "Why I parted ways with the Right."

1. better late then never.

some of his reasons:

Why I Parted Ways With The Right

Opinion | Mon, Nov 30, 2009 at 6:49:45 pm PST

1. Support for fascists, both in America (see: Pat Buchanan, Robert Stacy McCain, etc.) and in Europe (see: Vlaams Belang, BNP, SIOE, Pat Buchanan, etc.)

2. Support for bigotry, hatred, and white supremacism (see: Pat Buchanan, Ann Coulter, Robert Stacy McCain, etc.)

3. Support for throwing women back into the Dark Ages, and general religious fanaticism (see: Operation Rescue, anti-abortion groups, James Dobson, Pat Robertson, Tony Perkins, the entire religious right, etc.)

4. Support for anti-science bad craziness (see: creationism, climate change denialism, Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann, James Inhofe, etc.)

2. Wow. Better late then never is right.

3. Isn't that just one of their regular posters?

The rest of their lemmings surely haven't headed away from the cliff.

Really?

4. What changed, CHuck? Same things they've always stood for.

5. No kidding

He just sober up, or what?

6. I used to vote for them for best conservative blog because they were so awful.

I wanted people to think of the racist morons at LGF when they think of Conservatives.

LGF made FreeRepublic look like Code Pink.

7. They certainly aren't Freepers

At least they aren't now.

8. Good on you Charles Johnson!

12. wonderin' how he feels about the Dan Rather/60 Minutes/Bush AWOL thing today.

He was referenced as some kind of journalist back then.

10. I think Chuck has suddenly started "getting some."

It's remarkable how that can suddenly quieten your self loathing and hatred for humanity.

11. like they used to say "make love, not war" (nt)

[tonysam]

13. Wasn't this guy liberal to begin with and then switched allegiance

when 9/11 happened?

I guess he has finally awakened and smelled the coffee. Or else he thinks it is more profitable now to switch sides.

14. Thanks for telling us. After all the damage this guy did, so what is he now?

His reasons are dynamite, and this is a total reversal. Did he just get off the drugs or something? Anybody? Did he just grow up one day and become a Democrat?

15. Welcome to sanity dumbass!

What is there to say?
