Anyone know what happened to LGF?

[BEG]

I use to go to LGF (Little Green Footballs) everyday a few years ago.  I haven't been there in well over a year but I have read snippets here and there that Charles had gone off the deep end. I just went over there because I was bored, what the hell happened to him? He seems so angry and bitter.

I've never been there myself, but I've noticed that lately people on freerepublic are commenting about it, too, about how it's changed.

I used to read LGF every day.  Whatever happened, it was sad to watch.

John Hawkins from Right Wing News wrote a piece on it recently...

Despite the fact that I never got the impression that Charles Johnson was a conservative, there was a time when Little Green Footballs was amongst the biggest and the best of the conservative blogs.

But eventually, something started to change. There are people who have followed the descent of Little Green Footballs more closely than I have who could give you an excellent timeline, but I’m just going to talk about it as I perceived it happening.

At first, I noticed that Charles Johnson was getting into feuds with the other anti-radical Islam websites. Early on, as far as I could tell, it was all Charles attacking websites like Atlas Shrugs, Jihad Watch, and Gates of Vienna over these European political parties that they supported because they were anti-radical Islam.

Eventually, the bloggers Charles was picking fights with started firing back at him and I started to notice that Charles had a huge beef with Christians. At one point, I looked over at LGF and noticed that literally half the posts on his front page were edged pieces about creationism. This struck me as extremely odd given that creationism wasn’t a hot topic at the time. You could read through 30-40 blogs, not read one word about creationism, and get to LGF and there were 10 posts about it.

This, I found to be a very troubling sign. There are certainly plenty of atheists and agnostics who are good conservatives. However, inevitably in my experience, when you have someone who has a huge beef with Christians, they turn to the Left. That’s exactly how it happened with Andrew Sullivan and John Cole from Balloon Juice and it’s how it happened with Charles, too.

Like you, I used to read him.....then he started attacking Robert Spencer of Jihadwatch.com and other anti-islamist .....and I quit reading him.

Liberalism is a mental disorder.

CJ was a liberal before 9/11 and he never stopped being one. He was on the right side of the war on terror for a good while but he has reverted back to his old self. Its not a pretty sight. He is very petty and nasty.

I stopped going there with any regularity a few years ago now - when the signs were there to any that were watching that chucky was losing the plot.

No idea what happened after I left but it was a slow degeneration.

Now - It's a full blown disorder of the mind. I suspect chucky has caught a bad case of libtardisim.

   Up until a couple of years ago he was a regular on local talk radio here.. He started making more and more radical statements and the local host here (St Louis) booted him. I hadn't heard a word until just now.

He has gone the way of Andrew Sullivan, except in his case, he's gone anti-christian, anti-creationist, and anti-"wacko right wing extremism". He sees fascists, Nazis, and racists under every rock, around every corner, and behind every shadow. He seems to be using a "six degrees of separation" type of reasoning to accuse just about anyone of being a fascist or whatever. If you've ever posted on a blog that links to a site that links to another site that once associated with someone that at one time posted on Stormfront, then you are a racist. He's gotten to the point where you'll get banned for disagreeing with him on anything.

The nadir was reached a few days ago when longtime moderator Killgore Trout went over to Hot Air to post racist (and I mean actually racist, not the "anyone who disagrees with Obama is a racist" kind of racist) comments in the middle of the night. He told Charles about it beforehand, but he did nothing to stop it. The posts weren't deleted for several hours because all of the moderators were asleep at the time (it's likely it was done at that hour for just that reason), and Killgore Trout, and soon after Charles himself used that as "proof" that Hot Air is nothing but a bunch of "racists and bigots".

They have become the very thing they have hated for so long. They have become mobys.

Charles' internet name wouldn't be Gator by chance?

Nah, different kind of wacky.

How did the people at Hot Air prove it was Killgore Trout?  This is friggen crazy.

Probably logged the IP and ran a "WhoIs".  Pretty simple, really.

That is what I figured.  Is there any call out on Hot Air about it?  Anyone know?

As good a starting point as any.

There's also this thread.

Wow. Well he's not the first one to have his cheese slide off his cracker.

I think I've mentioned this before, but Charles banned me for daring to take exception to his tirades against Creationism and Creationists.

Anyway, yes, he's quickly turning into a nutter.  Check this out:

It’s incredibly irresponsible of Beck to televise stunts that involve the killing — real or staged — of animals.

Say what now?

That's about that plastic frog Beck threw into the boiling water isn't it?

Yep.

I bet the DUmp is all over this.  They're probably saying that Beck raped the frog, too.
