I remember when Charles Johnson over at LGF (Little Green Footballs) performed some very valuable work. The photo-shopped Iranian missiles, the phot-shopped Israel-Hezbollah war, the Palestinian ambulance incident (my personal favorite), Green Helmet Guy and many more. LGF did great work, (although not the first) on busting Mike Wallace on the bogus Bush national guard letter, which supposedly de-famed Bush's NG service.
All good things.
Like many good things, they are coming to the end. And in Charles Johnson's case, a very schizophrenic and addle-pated end, as his relevancy evaporates into the mid-day sun.
Obsessed with even the slightest mirage-like vapor of anything even resembling racism, Charles now goes berserk. Chat-room fights among his own readers and himself, insulting the Tea Party groups as 'fringe' and 'lunatics', and lately referring to Rush Limbaugh as a race-baiter. I guess Charles doesn't listen to JC Watts (a black man) when he fills in for Rush. Is Rush 'race-baiting', in between singing the praises of America's greatest conservative jurist; (Clarence Thomas)?
Asking this very question of CJ, in a pointed manner to the LGF board, my comment was promptly deleted and my account canceled. Ok, no big deal. It's his site. But what is sad is to witness is the intellectual laziness. He didn't even listen to Rush. I rarely listen to Rush, yet it was clear as day that he was being facetious and ironic in the monologue that the newly self-proclaimed racism Czar
Charles Johnson declared as 'race-baiting' and 'disgusting'. Well Charles, that's your opinion. Wrong, slack-minded, but an opinion nonetheless.
And even more bizarrely, Charles declared the recession as having 'bottomed out'. What? 13% unemployment in California alone with another year of job losses predicted, and he says 'bottomed out'?.
Adios, Charles. I think the pointy end of your little green ball his smacked you in the temple.
