The changes at Little Green Footballs
We’ve had discussions in the comments section of this blog about the change in tone at Little Green Footballs. From being a stalwart defender in the War Against Terrorism and an effective warrior in the battle for a free and honest press, Charles Johnson has turned his entire focus (or so it seems) on the evils creationism, the horrors of the Tea Parties, and the stench of those bloggers he believes are in some significant way associated with fairly small potatoes right-wing political organizations in Europe. People who aren’t with that program get purged from his site. John Hawkins, at Right Wing News, looks at Charles’ changed behaviors and tries to see if there is a pattern.
As for me, I’m deeply sorry to see these changes happen, because I feel that those of us who believe in the War on Islamic Terrorism have lost a very important friend. The terrorists are still out there, but Charles isn’t at our side any more. I hope that whatever is causing his unease with conservatives doesn’t change his former belief in issues that lie at the heart of any true conservative movement — a commitment to freedom at home and national security abroad.
