| #11 CJ is has ego control problems. His principal target is the right wing activists who are putting their neck on the line against the left-wing Feds. He deserves wallpaper status. Not that I support every move by the activists. |

| #10 I stopped reading LGF, and Brothers Judd, when both began deleting civil comments that opposed their pet views. I caught Orrin modifying comments to "dumb down" the commenter. |

| #9 To be honest LGF has comment threads were way to long. I never got the point of the pictures he posted or the threads just hanging there with no other point to their existence. Personally i don't like to see cross-blog wars. Just ignore and move on. |

| #7 Before I quite reading LGF, I wondered at his excessive energy directed at creationism, creationists, people who might be associated with creationists, and people who used code words for creationism. It's one thing to be politically concerned. It's one thing to be focused irrationally on one thing, if that's your job. Say, for instance, he was president of the Anti-Creationist Information Center (if there is such a thing), you could expect it. But creationism isn't a problem (saying so makes me an enemy of LGF and all right-thinking people). What's the big deal? Helmet's too tight, is my guess. |

| #6 ...wingnuts on the right are just as insane as some of the moonbats on the left... Major difference is that the right doesn't have money or the media. |

| #5 someone did a cartoon called (i think) Dan Rather's Revenge. It showed Charles Johnson tied to a chair and Dan Rather posting to his page. LOL. It sounds about right to me. Maybe a DNA test would be in order. |

| #4 Too bad Charles can't put some of his Sarah venom towards ACORN. Ah well, even if he did I'd never know since I stopped reading him months ago. |

| #3 My 2c worth is that CJ's PC morality (the liberal left coast variant) ran into the complexities and difficult issues that plague most of the world. He is going through the usual cognitive dissonance when PC morality meets the real world. Which BTW explains his Sarah Palin obsession. Liberals really hate downhome non-intellectuals showing they better understand how the real world works than they do. And god forbid without all that liberal angst as well. |

| #2 I'm of two minds (Ed -- only two? I'm having an integrating day). I do think Charles has fallen off his bike a couple times and hit his head. If his major point these days is that some of the wingnuts on the right are just as insane as some of the moonbats on the left, I'm with him. He's correct to note that some of the hard-right wingnuts (e.g., R.S. McCain) are NOT the kind of people the Pubs want around them come election time. But it seems that he's ignoring the moonbats and going after the wingnuts in a way that is simply vituperative. He's not going to convert minds the way he's going about it. It's almost as if he's becoming, in his own little world, as authoritarian as those he stands against. And he's ignoring some big, big things that Obama is trying to pull behind the curtain. Charles was originally an anti-idiotarian. He's in danger of losing that. Shame. |

| #1 The link goes to an article bashing LIttle Green Footballs. A topic that was discussed a few days ago. Personally I think the anti-LGF folks should just go silent on the whole thing. DeLink and ignore rather than obsess over the changes. Maybe each anti-LGF blog could come up with there own special post about why they turned on LGF and someone could create a blog specifically for that purpose. Then the anti-LFG blogs could link to that blog whenever the need arose rather than retread the same old tired ground. |
