Patterico: ‘Charles Johnson Doesn’t Care About Context or Truth Any More’

“I was such a small fish at the time. I realized I was basically committing blog suicide by going against him. But he was wrong.” — Pamela Geller, January 2010 It’s interesting how easy it has become to ignore Charles Johnson and Little Green Footballs. A couple weeks ago, Diary of Daedalus or the Blogmocracy […]

Skepticism Is for ‘Rubes’

Really intelligent people, you see, believe whatever they’re told by the experts: In Charles Johnson’s mind, skepticism toward environmental catastrophism is “anti-science rubbish” and the fact that such an article appears on Fox News just proves that only “rubes” are skeptics: [Fox News reporter Maxim] Lott is trying to denigrate the reliability of climate science, […]

‘Oooh, Hooo, Witchy Woman . . .’

See how high she flies! Brian at Red Dog Report has much more. The big MSM headline from last night’s Hannity appearance was that Christine O’Donnell has decided to stop doing national media interviews. and concentrate instead on winning over Delaware voters. That’s just common sense, by the way. She’s raised more than $2 million […]

Charles Johnson Uses Twitter to Push ‘Racist’ Smear of Red State’s Josh Trevino

Joshua Trevino is a Texan, former Bush administration official and Republican political consultant. In 2004, he co-founded Red State along with Ben Domenech and Mike Krempasky.

The W-Word: Fringe Journalism Is Fun!

Yes, the W is for “Weigel,” which term seems to have become as offensive (or boring) to some readers as “epistemic closure” or even “Elena Kagan Sex Tape” — the latter being a sort of satire of Rule 5, for which Marty Eisenstadt disclaims any responsibility. Summer is a great time for blog-fights because traffic always goes down during the summer anyway, […]

A. Charles Johnson

Q. What’s more boring than soccer? We might assume, arguendo, that regular readers have been following The Other McCain’s relentless mockery of the 2010 World Cup. However, for those who may have joined the mockery in progress and missed the set-up for this particular running gag, let’s recall how liberals have portrayed American contempt for […]

Killgore Trout Beclowns Himself

Dave Weigel of the Washington Post contacted me seeking a denial of an assertion by one of Charles Johnson’s LGF henchmorons that I was the anonymous “Tea Party consultant” who wrote the Playboy article: “I’m almost certain it’s him. He’s making up a lot of the details and probably exaggerating his influence . . .” Fool. […]

Ace of Spades Smacks Charles Johnson in a Post Every New* Blogger Should Read

* And by “new,” I mean if you haven’t been at it since Ace started with a Blogspot site in 2003. When trying to explain the principle of reciprocal linkage (Rule 2), I’ve often wanted to quote a post Ace of Spades wrote about three years ago, in which he explained how you link somebody so as […]
