What Has Happened To Little Green Footballs?
What was once a must read blog for news and analysis on my rss feed has recently become a once or twice a day stop and that's only for the car crash quality of it all.
Today's head shaking moment comes from a post entitled "Limbaugh Stuck On Fail". Charles seems genuinely confused that some people might actually say out loud they don't want Sotomayor confirmed to the Supreme Court. It seems that for a democracy to function there needs to be at least two parties who articulate their differences. The idea that partisans of either party wants the other to fail is baked into the cake. I know Barack Obama wanted John Roberts and Sam Alito to fail in their confirmation efforts. How do I know this? He voted against them. Of course, there's nothing wrong with that, it's all part of the give and take of public discourse. Just as there's nothing wrong with Limbaugh or my wish to see Sotomayor fail in her bid for confirmation. Equally confounding is Charles' contention in the comments of that thread thatBarack Obama ran on a platform of sheer positive messages. Not once did he wish for the other side to fail. You're just wrong to claim that negativity is winning strategy. One of the big reasons why Obama won was because he did NOT go negative -- ever.Really? This will of course come as news to anyone who followed the campaign last year. Even the Washington Post noticed. How about, just to pick one of many examples, when Obama accused President Bush and John McCain of "fear mongering"? Or the distortions of McCain's words. The list could go on and on. I really don't have a dog (or monkey) in all the creationist stuff but while it's certainly Charles' right to post on whatever the hell he wants, the constant harping and disdain for others is off putting. Sadly I can only conclude there's no room for me anymore under LGF's big tent.

I feel the same way. LGF used to be one of my favorites after Ace and Rusty.
I agree with his general anti-creationist feelings, but damn, dude!
He also makes me feel bad for thinking that nationalistic, racist, far right European political parties might have a bit of a point, even if they are dicks about it.

"What has happened to LGF?"
What did LGF ever consist of? Why is this a question? Did he ever cut his hair? Or was it all a quest for adulation by an aging hippy with a spare server in his closet?
The mind boggles.

Not sure what's happened over there. All I know is I used to read and post regularly, and then just got completely turned off, and rarely visit the site.
I think LGF and Charles have gone off the wagon.

Now I do have a "dog" as it were in the creationist crap, but I don't really care what other people believe. Reading Chuckle's childish rants about people who don't agree PRECISELY with him is why I told him and LGF to go fuck themselves and walked away from LGF completely...

I posted over there for 5-6 years. One day Chas started a thread that defended his constant "evolution" topics. I chipped in by saying that as someone with several advanced degrees in the subject, I got a little tired of being lectured to by a layman. Hit me with the big ban stick.

There is not much left for LGF. It gets really redundant. I've now completely dropped it from my daily search. Charles Johnson's posts have become as predictable as a Marmaduke punchline.

Drew did you miss the thread here that because commenters were critical of him he went and removed AoS from his blogroll. Not to mention all his sycophants coming over here and demanding Ace tell everyone to stop it. And then there were the people he banned on his website solely for commenting here as well and preferring this to LGF.
I'm sure if you tried to comment there under the name DrewM. and took a viewpoint opposite his he would ban you immediately.

A couple of months ago I set me up a spiffy new personal home page, which I've done several times since first discovering LGF, and for the first time in all those times of setting up new home pages, I deliberately left off the link to LGF, after seeing Charles drift in this direction for months. And I've kept some pretty lame and low-trafficked links in the meantime simply because it's easier to move them than to delete them.
Charles let his disappointment with the GOP turn in to Obama-worship. He let his unease with creationism turn into Christian-bashing. It's the sign of someone who's lost his way, for what reaosn I don't know, and care about less and less as time goes by. This is the nature of most useful things like LGF once was. GM used to make good cars. Atari used to make good video games. Only a few things maintain their quality over the long term. So in this sense, LGF's demise is the rule - something to be expected, not something to be surprised at.

I asked Charles to remove my membership about a month ago.

I always felt I was a pretty reasonable fellow.
There is a paranoia among the membership there. If they are not familiar with you then you are a troll and they will eat you.

I've been wondering about LGF as well. While I'm not interested in his creationist arguments, I rather liked that others could offer links and he had a lively comments section -- at least until recently. That he was an accomplished musician was interesting, that he has a ponytail is irrelevant.
For some reason he blocked my account and apparently I'm not alone. I wrote and asked if there was an issue but received no reply. I guess I just didn't measure up.

I think I visit there once a week or so now, if I think to. In its heyday it was a place to exchange idea's, get up to date information. and good political commentary on an hourly basis.
Now? Not so much, one vast echo chamber after the 'bans'. Then again, it's his site and he can do as he damn well pleases. It's still moderately good for ME info, but only from their perspective.
I wish him well, but he can do it without me. I have views that aren't 'moderate' or 'middle of the road'. I guess I'm hard core when it comes to freedom and its defense.

He'll take things out of context and then use the old guilt by casual association tacticevery time. Race card, always. The old pony tail guy is a hard leftist.And his obsession with creationism...

CJ: "Barack Obama ran on a platform of sheer positive messages."
Granting to you for the sake of argument that that is true even though it provably isn't, Obama had a team of surrogates, aka the establishment, enchanted press, to act as both guard dog for him and attack dog against critics. The GOP generally didn't even if it had radio and FOXNews partially in its corner. That is why Obama could be all hope-n-change and nothing more... even though he actually was more and not all positive.

Does CJ really think that appealing to CJ is the best way to rebuild the Republican Party? Seriously, he talks like he's some purge victim or something, but he's like King Purge of the Interwebz.
His Sotomayor defense attempts are retarded. His comments to others questioning his logic are even more retarded. So long, CJ. See you after the next attack.

Johnson is full aware that his blog is being abandoned by former members, thus his attempts to appear more "moderate" and appealing to those Leftists who once ridiculed him for being an "anti-Muslim racist." It's a recruiting maneuver, a desperate attempt to remain relevant in the blogosphere.

Let's not forget why Charles de-listed Ace of Spades from its blogroll a few months back: because the admins here would not immediately delete negative comments (not posts, comments) about Charles or LGF. Yeah, that's right. Because Ace didn't implement a fascist speech code condemning all criticism of Charles Johnson, Chuckie declared AoS an "enemy blog" full of "stalkers".

Even posting at other sites where other posters insult LGF will lead to banning. One is found guilty of treason by association.
I left because I'm just too conservative, but I never said anything derogatory about LGF, Charles, or any posters. They, however, vilified me.
It wasn't a healthy atmosphere for me, and their behavior when I chose to post elsewhere proved that I made the right choice.
Please, Ace, don't change. That would truly break my heart.

Yeah, that was really nutty behavior.
I check LGF several times a week to keep abreast of the intelligent design stuff (I tune out the comments in the threads but follow the links to the primary sources, such as the Texas board of education hearings), but on anything pertaining to partisan politics (such as the Rush thread Drew cites) I find him to be either incredibly naive or ill-informed. Basically, it's a news thread for me on a subject matter of interest -- that's about it.
My first stop is usually AoS, followed by Hot Air.

LGF has always been merely a hub for links to other, more in-depth sites addressing whatever topic was appealing to CJ. I can't think of any time when I actually read any substantive, original analysis or insight from CJ himself. As an information-gatherer, he was fairly adept -- as an analyst, he was never impressive in the least.

I quit reading LGF when Charles went off on Robert Spencer, the leader of the anti Jihadists on the internet, as a white supremacist with some phony stretched out linkage. I guess he is trying to get a MSNBC show as a "conservative".

I don't get it either. It's like some internet knee jerk reaction thing. John Cole did the same thing at Balloon-Juice. I have no problem whatsoever with people that dissent from some part of the platform. Against creationism ? Great. I happen to agree. Think the Terry Schiavo incident was horrific ? Yeah, agree there too.
But how does that make one a fan or defender of Barack Obama or one to chronicle every frailty and foible of every GOP candidate or elected official on the planet ?
What I really don't get from Charles is the dissent on Global Warming as if there is any science behind it at this point. People are not skeptical of Global Warming because God told them so. The odd thing is Climate Change Science has a lot more in common with Intelligent Design than Charles wants to admit.
I actually find principled opposition FAR more respectable than this kind of knee-jerk thing.

I will remember Charles for his excellent work on the Dan Rather/Mary Mapes forgeries. He has also done great work exposing some of the Fauxtography and propaganda of Hezbollah and the Palestinians. He stayed on this stuff until the useful idiots in the press were thoroughly discredited (until the next time).
That said, WTF is going on over there these days? He has me feeling like a White Supremacist just because I visit the blogs he vilifies; Robert Spencer is one of the smartest people on radical Islam that we have. I think CJ has gone crazy in his own little echo chamber.

How the mighty have fallen! Like some here, I used to frequent LGF then stopped when I saw the direction CJ was going. Alas, I thought it used to be great, but the whole Bush thing with him accepting the medal being compared to Messiah's "bow" and then the constant advice from the likes of Frum that the Republicans must become more "moderate"..yeah, I think he's jumped the shark.

That isunless yourathousand-fold bunchof leftist douchebags spending your entire 8 years of the Bush presidency hating everything about the man and the party and country he represented. The hate seemed to work quite well for the Leftas they undermined two war efforts, a country's sense of self, undermined presidential respect and authority, and won in a cake-walk during the last election.

"What did LGF ever consist of?"
The best comment site on teh intertubes. With the smartest commenters.
"I only found LGF several months back, but found it to be boring from the get go."
Its heyday was 2002-2003. Not kidding. 2004 wasn't bad either, but the comment section was both too crowded and thinned out (smart people wise).
"I truly think AoS has greatly improved since I first started viewing"
Maybe if you started reading in January...
This is a down phase for right-wing blogs, because there's not a huge amount to do but hunker down and wait. For Ace specifically you should read the 2004 stuff, when he was gut-bustingly funny pretty much all the time.

Charles is so self-absorbed there will no doubt be a mention of this post on LGF with himself starring as victim. Last week I heard a kid at a bus stop in Soho briefly mention Charles Johnson was kinda schtoopid. Charles found out, registered him at LGF, banned him, and then contacted his boss to inform the boss that he had an employee who was a creationist nazi. Yes, Charles is now "outing" people.

Yeah, you raise an excellent point. He is incredibly ill-informed about global warming. It's almost as if his trying to impress a girlfriend or significant other with how much of a "believer" he is on the subject. He's out of his depth on that one.
There really is a diversity of opinion in the scientific community about man-made global warming, with the trend being towards skepticism, particularly in the geophysics community. Researchers are human -- they'll ride that funding bandwagon that Algore is pushing for as long as it's there (just as many did post 9/11 when money became available for bioterrorism research; I had a colleague who was [jokingly] trying to find an angle to squeeze his research on chickadees into bioterrorism, for Pete's sake!) -- but the geophysicists I've spoken with are not true believers.

I write political thrillers with a "difficlt" theme. I sent the first book of the trilogy to Charles and he gave it an enthusiastic writeup in LGF along with a link to Amazon.

Sorry, like Churchill said, if Hitler invaded hell, he'd have to say something nice to say of the Devil, and if the same folks that committed 9-11 invade or subvert Europe, then I should find something polite to say about any knuckle-dragging idiot commensurate to the fight they bring. I don't care about Mike Tyson's politics and table etiquette. I just care that he can double my money at the bookies.
And Creationism is indeed annoying, but so is UFOlogy, anti-Americanism such as Reverend Wright's, minority racism and exceptionalism, Global Warmism, and a host of other idiocies. Compared to carbon-taxes on all and sundry, I'd rather turn over the entire Department of Education to Jerry Falwell than have Washington regulate every mile I drive or every watt-hour I waste.

Now...well, now I'm just happy to be informed. But what all out there right now is worth checking out? I've been out of it for a while.

Pretty much the level of conversation I had with her when I got banned.
I know. I made a comment here that wasn't even critical of LGF or Charles, I think over the Obama gourmet pizza fly-in, I think I pointed out some minor error in cj's report, and Mandy showed up and used some foul language directed at me. Really creepy.
And then they did some racist moby phoney posts here on a different thread. Really low class.

I recognize that handle (and many others here) from the halcyon days of LGF of yore. Glad you made the transition to the moron headquarters.

Drew, you obviously have not been reading LGF for a while.
My take: Johnson was embarrassed and mortified that such a cool and intellectual guy as he was pretty much labeled (fairly?) an Arab and Islamist basher, and that's pretty much how he was known to the greater world outside conservative blog circles, even within them by some accounts.
So he started some contrarian nonsense, because there's no better way to get positive notices and links than bashing your own side (see BalloonJuice, now a fav lib-blog, formerly conservative). He took it so far some conservative blogs started calling him on hypocrisy and just general assholishness, and he got his nose further out of joint, so now his site is basically trolling as blogging: posting crap to piss off conservatives, in a calculated and snide and sneering way.
He's also playing up the "I'm the smartest, most fair-minded and decent blogger on the right and only I will say the truths none of these other morons, cowards and intellectual inferiors will say". He spends most of his time bashing the GOP, conservatives, religious people, anyone who doubts glowball warmage, defending Obama and digging up old news items to defend Obama or to prove what hypocrites Republicans are. He hated every GOP candidate in 2008 and bashed McCain at every opportunity, and took contrarian positions, just as he does now, at anything critical of Obama.
He is now in the process of defending Sotomeyer, and any regular reader would expect nothing else. I don't even think he is conservative on the War on Terror and Iraq any more, because like Andy Sullivan, Johnson must bash anything Bush, in his new role.
Johnson is paying off old scores and racking up new feuds daily with conservative bloggers, radio hosts, talking heads and politicians. He's a scumbag, an opportunist and the worst kind of hypocrite. He got "internet famous" and he didn't like his label, so he's working a new narrative now, and like many many turn-coat conservatives before him, he knows nothing gets you instant adulation like burning your old comrades.
The word "douchebag" is bandied about a lot these days, but if there were a .jpg next to the word in the internet dictionary, it would be a photo of Charles Johnson. He only blogs to start fires, piss people off and settle scores. There is nothing constructive over there at LGF, and certainly nothing to help the GOP, which of course is NOT Johnson's intent, even if he does blog like a concern troll half the time, when he isn't out and out bashing Republicans and conservatives.
He's the blogoverse's Arlen Specter, but with less class and intelligence, if that were possible.

Drew, Johnson lost it - and me - back in February.
Like Chris Hitchens - who did an absolutely breathtaking five-forty (that's a one-eighty with extreme prejudice) last year, from openly castigating Obama at every opportunity, to openly endorsing him using patently absurd "rationale" after Palin was nominated - Johnson suffers from extremely acute Christianophobia. He has become positively deranged and obsessed with a crusade against Intelligent Design. It's made his site not worth reading or linking to, IMHO.

In defense of Mr Johnson:
1) He codes his own site by hand. Seems self taught. That is cool
2) He is breaking the stereotype that all conservatives are glossy eyed, anti-science.
3) He is trying to have the conservative community act like grown-ups and not squeal at every little thing like the kos kids. For example, I think it is important for the gop to pick their battles and not go off all half cocked on every issue. Hey, Souter is going to be replaced by another liberal. It is just a fact. There are a lot more creepy judges out there if this nominee is replaced.
However, I do agree with many here that the rants against Robert Spencer, Pamela Geller, and others is lacking in tact and persuasion. I think he could get his points across in a less offensive manner.

To be honest I have no clue about have this stuff, the "enemies" list, the banning of people that visit other places, and other such stuff. I was banned however when I came back after like a year hiatus and called the people retarded when they were comparing Bush lowering his head to accept a medal to bend at the freakin waste bow when you meet someone. I even kept my language civil until it wasn't to me then I was banned within 3 comments after having an account for over 2 years. Whatever move on the guy don't need my web traffic and I do not feel like bitching about it since I didn't care.

What happened at LGF? It's the same thing that happened at Daily Kos and Arianna, and has even happened with Protein Wisdom, and is the same thing that is beginning to happen, here. They aren't the first, and sadly enough, they won't be the last.
Sooner or later, without a great deal of care, it happens with all forums and open comment blogs. In time, any dissent from the current group think will simply not be allowed.
It'll be interesting to see how that scenario plays out at Pajamas Media.

I really didn't mind his creation stuff, but day after day, it was , man just make your point. Then a week before last years election I commented, stop it dude, don't we have the most important election in our lifetime in a week and your talking creation?
I was banned. One visit a day since I know why. The worm has turned. He's Bill Clinton. Finger in the air. I think in a year he'll be just a guest blogger at HuffPo or Move. Sad.

I don't recall CJ bashing McCain much, personally. I know he wasn't big on Palin, though.
And I seem to rememberCharles being fairly excited about pointing out Obama's ties to William Ayers -- even anticipating a "key discovery" by LGF staple Zombie, which the hoardes were breathlessly hoping would be some keystone evidence in the Obama-Ayers connection.
Turned out to be the Ayers Prairie Fire manifesto, which -- while certainly exempliary of the left-wing kookism of Ayers and his Weathermen crew -- certainly didn't knock anybody out RE: Obama's election chances.

Yeh. I've agreed with Charles on many things over the years. I'm not shocked and horrified when he has strong opinions or bans people who disagree with him.
I've completely stopped going there since one little thing that I don't know if anyone else noticed: he posted nothing about the Scare Force One incident until he posted the apology by Obama the day after.
No empathy for the New Yorkers, no criticism at all? Well, then the blog is just not for me any more. It just...well, I'm sure it's clear to most everyone here.

Hell, I think we should make shit up about him, like the plastic turkey thing. Use every weapon, bash him fairly and unfairly, keep up the drumbeat of hate and disrespect, and his numbers will fall, no matter what the MSM does. It worked for the left, don't tell me it didn't. You create a narrative about what a stupid tool he is, you drumbeat it daily and everywhere you can, and you overwhelm the opposition with it. The low-info types will pick it up as the CW and the "truth". We can't be hostile and negative ENOUGH.

What the fuck am I, chopped liver? (Atlas)
Pretty much. During the Great War, you and Cronos (and the rest of the Titans) didn't understand the meaning of "teamwork" and you got your ass handed to you by Poseidon and Hades. Next, you decided to follow Hades she-witch of a wife, Persephone, in a plot to destroy the world by causing the Earth to fall into Hades. For your trouble, you got chained to the top of Hades by some half-crazy, half-naked Spartan dude who's about 0.05% of your strength and size. Now, you fester there while Zeus' minions make habitats of your orifices while the love juice (magma) of the Earth spills all over you. About the only thing you have going for you is you have the voice of Michael Clarke Duncan, who I do see as a modern day Atlas.
Shrug, damn it, so that in the end, there will be only chaos!

"He is breaking the stereotype that all conservatives are glossy eyed, anti-science."
Um, no.
Here's the deal: Chuck never said he was a conservative. And he isn't, which is fine. He's a lefty who had some prominent lefty illusions shattered by 9/11 and the second intifada.
The problem is, unless you have a real conversion experience (or realize you were a conservative all along), the desire to *belong* where you started, to have your lefty urban friends be nice to you again, is strong. That's why Althouse and McArdle and many others found excuses to line up again on their home side in 2008, despite quickly coming to their senses re: Obama's insanity since. Give CJ this: he lasted through the election.
Of course, that doesn't excuse his insane blog-management behavior, but that's another matter.
Um, no.
Here's the deal: Chuck never said he was a conservative. And he isn't, which is fine. He's a lefty who had some prominent lefty illusions shattered by 9/11 and the second intifada.
The problem is, unless you have a real conversion experience (or realize you were a conservative all along), the desire to *belong* where you started, to have your lefty urban friends be nice to you again, is strong. That's why Althouse and McArdle and many others found excuses to line up again on their home side in 2008, despite quickly coming to their senses re: Obama's insanity since. Give CJ this: he lasted through the election.
Of course, that doesn't excuse his insane blog-management behavior, but that's another matter.

Heh. I remember that one. I never had a run-in with CJ, but during Katrina an ad-hoc posse made it clear I was unwelcome for saying that the government's response would make Bush look bad. I've hardly looked at it since and deleted the bookmark years ago.

Barack Obama ran on a platform of sheer positive messages. Not once did
he wish for the other side to fail. Ok, maybe there was just this one time, when he was watching the movie Red Dawn, and he started cheering for the other side. But only that one time.

Uh, no, that’s not my point at all. (But I don’t expect careful reasoning from the Ace of Spades crowd any more, either.)

Hey, maybe he can go ask the Jug Eared Fuck if he can have a cabinet post.

From Charles' new front-page post:
To me, it’s a very simple thing — almost blindingly simple, in fact: openly wishing for political opponents to “FAIL!” is horrendously bad politics.
When Rush Limbaugh says he wants Obama to fail, even if he later
backpedals and says he wants “policies” to fail, a whole lot of people
in this country hear him saying he wants America to fail — because like
it or not, Barack Obama was elected President by a majority of the
voters in this country.
When you spout this “I want you to fail!” rhetoric, it’s a giant
turn-off to a large segment of the American population. It’s not just
bad politics — it’s stupid, self-defeating politics. It makes you look
petty.
Criticize policies all you like, and work to defeat politicians you
don’t agree with. But wishing for Obama or his Supreme Court nominees
to “fail” is mean-spirited, negative, and hands ammunition to your
political enemies that they will gladly use.Right, being constantly negative, on the attack, and openly hoping your opponents fail turns off America and can never lead to electoral wins. Oh yeah, except for the Democrats in 2006. Oh yeah, and the Democrats in 2008. But besides those two times, it's never worked. No, really.
CJ is such a moron.

Dr. Numbstick:
Your comment about his vainglory at his own coding relates directly to the "scoop" he thought he had: that "scoop" had zero to do with taking down Obama and everything to do about building up LGF's prestige as a blog. He hasn't done anything since he made a .gif with Rather's TANG document, so he keeps hoping for a new narrative to replace the "Charles Johnson is an anti-Arab racist" meme he is so upset about. That is what this is all about. That's why he is so concerned with calling other people racists, because CAIR and some liberal sites regularly refer to LGF as Arab hate central, and it galls him enough to jettison any support at all for the right and cozy up to the left in every way possible. Despicable human being, way too many bytes being wasted on saying that.

2. defending the Tea Party Movement from an actual participants view.
3. calling him and the rest of the yes-dicks over there out for being candy- asses.
I have been visiting here for a couple years now. I like this place much better. You people are not eager to kiss ass in order to be liked or invited to cocktail parties.
Fuck bicyclists; and the $12 of aluminum annoyance that takes up half the fucking lane while I'm trying to get to the liquor store.

I've been feeling the very same way, DrewM, but have not yet had the stones to remove LGF from my rss. But, y'all, it's not very impressive to make fun of him by calling him Chucky, and the ponytail thing...it just makes commenters look juvenile.
He's seriously grating on me regarding the Limbaugh stuff, but he does have me truly concerned that our intra-party/conservative battle lines are being drawn between the "Toomey Types" (me) - garden variety conservatives- and the ID/creationist/Ron Paul/birth certificate types. And to hear it from him, the nirthers are winning the hearts and minds of the party. I'm a Catholic who believes that God is the designer of the universe, but I'm also pretty sure I came from a monkey, and see no problem there. I just don't want to see conservatives being defined by stuff like this. Talk about a NOT winning strategy. ID as science will have us laughed out of the arena of ideas.

They don't mean shit. This is what kills me about this constant hand wringing lately about Limbaugh, nobody and I mean nobody except those that listen to him cares all that much about what he says.

Well, I disagree, Chuck. How 'bout that? Now, I know that I'm obviously wrong in my opinion and you're obviously right in yours because you have, like, a nifty blog site which makes all your opinions, you know, empirically correct and everything. I realize that fact because if I even attempt to counter your assertion on your site directly I'll get, like,kicked off and ridiculedfor disagreeing. That makes everything you say the objective truth.

Well, obviously you're some kind of Rethuglican throwback, because you're just dead set against seeing this blog EVOLVE.
Like Mixie Peesa created it from dust.
(Though given its occasional tendency to return to dust unexpectedly, this might not be too far from the truth.)

Halfway agree with you, but only when they comment about him monitering here when they obviously go there. Whatever, it is a free world people can do what they want they don't need our approval.
if that's the case someone needs to loosen up their pony tail and get a life.

Because LGF gets 3 times the traffic this site does?

"excuse me #151 Sir Robert, but you are full of shit. "Acting like adults?" Bullshit. Fuck you. Personally, I think we should cheap-shot, slam, insult, disrespect and demean Obama at every turn. Hell, I think we should make shit up about him, like the plastic turkey thing. Use every weapon, bash him fairly and unfairly, keep up the drumbeat of hate and disrespect, and his numbers will fall, no matter what the MSM does. It worked for the left, don't tell me it didn't. You create a narrative about what a stupid tool he is, you drumbeat it daily and everywhere you can, and you overwhelm the opposition with it. The low-info types will pick it up as the CW and the "truth". We can't be hostile and negative ENOUGH.
Wussies like you make me puke. Fuck you, "acting like adults" god FUCK you."
That might be the single most ass-kicking post I've ever read.Bravo! I agree 100%.

I have no idea what this site's traffic is, because Alexa groups apparently groups all the mu.nu blogs together. You'd have to ask Pixy Misa to split it apart.
But, by that logic, Charles should be bowing to the superior wisdom of Markos Mouslitas or Arianna Huffington.

If we are to be the death of the Conservative Movement (as the hand-wringers pretend to worry) because we believe differently than the cycling dipshit, or that we are not bow tie wearing George Will / Mort Kondrake candy-assed conservatives, let it be so.
I say let it die this way rather than the painful slow way that ass-kissing pansies are going to kill it.
The problem over there is an overabundance of ego and a severe shortage of get off your fat lazy ass and make some noise.

56Even posting at other sites where other posters insult LGF will lead to banning. One is found guilty of treason by association.I left because I'm just too conservative, but I never said anything derogatory about LGF, Charles, or any posters. They, however, vilified me.It wasn't a healthy atmosphere for me, and their behavior when I chose to post elsewhere proved that I made the right choice.Please, Ace, don't change. That would truly break my heart.

When dissent is no longer an option, all that remains are group think and social programming. iow, ideology.
Sooner or later, it happens at every blog which allows comments and on almost every forum that has ever been on the internet.
In a free market of ideas, that is well and good. People will congregate wherever they find like-minded others. However, the the hypocrisy that is often involved by the commenters and blog and forum owners often leaves much to be desired. They decry sophistry in others, but practice it, themselves. They decry the use of ad homs and other logical fallacies by others, but employ the same to their own ends.
Read some of the above comments, by both AoS regulars and by others who have commented, here, both pro and con LGF. Do many of these comments sound like rational, sane adults to you? No, they don't. The narrative is to conform to a shifting, arbitrary standard or go to hell. This is not freedom. This is not rational behavior.
However, such irrational behavior has also been allowed for in the plan... in fact, over the next few months, that behavior on a national and global level will only become worse.

It is a sad thing; it appears he has become uber defensive and communicates in an over the top harsh manner. Lately he is not even adding his own perspective to a number of his blog's postings. It's almost as if he knows he has nothing sutable to say about the subject, so he just waits for others to disagree with what he has quoted and then he knifes them. There is little tolerance for logic or reason in the discussion, its his way or the highway, facts be damned.
Also, have you noticed how often he has been "opening the gates" to new members? He is indeed trying to appeal to a different audience than the old anti-Jihad crowd made up of conservatives, because he has lost them as active members. I hope he finds happiness and becomes a more joyful person.

Here's why this issue matters to me:
Charles's LGF made thousands aware of political issues that the MSM ignored. He developed some great user-friendly features for the blog. He built up a readership that became a community of generally conservative people, many of whom felt silenced or at least self-censored among their co-workers, neighbors, or even family. Members of this community felt a kinship, and many become friends.
Then Charles's priorities changed. Yes, he has every right to run his site has he wishes, but it's almost 180 degrees different from how it was five years ago. He also started banning people not because they broke his house rules but because the disagreed with or questioned him.
For those who felt a sense of belonging at LGF, this change is truly painful, and speaking for myself, I'm trying to make sense of it.
I don't think the personal insults are necessary, but it's hard enough to be a conservatice in today's political climate without the feeling that one of the ports in the storm is no longer there.

Charles seems genuinely confused that some people might actually say
out loud they don’t want Sotomayor confirmed to the Supreme Court.
Uh, no, that’s not my point at all. (But I don’t expect careful reasoning from the Ace of Spades crowd, either.)
CH attempts to change the topic.
It may not be CJ's point but it's the point everyone is making when they say fail.
The guy makes his own definition then criticizes others for not living up to it.CJ is being totally disingenuous as usual.

I was banned from the site two weeks ago simply for down-rating his three consecutive anti-creationist rants. I have never even left a comment, just three thumbs-down because I am sick of his never ending screeds.
The best thing about the site are the links at the top of the page. As for Sir Charles, he is returning to his liberal roots. He can't help it. Like all liberals and socialists, he is a control freak.
Last week he accused Rush of being a creationist. I heard Rush's comments on Saturday on his Week in Review, and he simply wove creationism vs. Darwinism into his monologue to make an unrelated point. Now he's jumping on Rush again like a shrew from The View.
Charles is on a witch hunt to purge the Republican party of its base. What do you want to bet he voted for Obama?

Hey Cig you must be puffing Marlboro Ultralights thru a freakin cig holder. You got a point here but this applies to ALL discourse so pointing it out is like pointing out "Hey that bum is an alcoholic and will spend this money on booze!"
"In a free market of ideas, that is well and good. People will congregate wherever they find like-minded others. However, the the hypocrisy that is often involved by the commenters and blog and forum owners often leaves much to be desired. They decry sophistry in others, but practice it, themselves. They decry the use of ad homs and other logical fallacies by others, but employ the same to their own ends. "
You are arguring that it is possible to find rational discourse ANYWHERE while holding yourself out there as some paragon. It is the internet chill out you seem to be more uptight than I am which is hard.

To be honest, I wasn't aware of that until last year. Before then, I had the impression that people were banned for really attacking Charles; I couldn't blame him for that.

For those who felt a sense of belonging at LGF, this change is truly painful, and speaking for myself, I'm trying to make sense of it. I don't think the personal insults are necessary, but it's hard enough to be a conservatice in today's political climate without the feeling that one of the ports in the storm is no longer there.
I understand. I guess I was never as much of a part of the community there, so I don't feel the pain as much. Also, he never said he was conservative, so I"m not suprised to see him acting like a not-conservative person, esp. when the President is a democrat.

Cahrles Jhonsno wiped AoS off his links, kind of his way of sending you to the cornfield, you're supposed to say "it's GOOOD that you said that Charles"
Drew posts on him, and he immediately goes apeshit with a response. Kind of like he's scared of this place. Imagine, Lord Charles of the Blogosphere getting upset that this little ole blog posted about widdle chuckie.
I've joked that LGF has become "Chuck's Church of Scienceology" but he and his cultists are getting creepy. He's got Wild Irish Rose scouring Facebook to publish personal information of the "worst" enemies of Lord Charles.
He says he's never expected reasonable debate from AoSHQ, "reasonable" being what L. Charles Hubbard has decreed. AoS is a fun place to come to, blow off steam, and throw spitballs in the cafeteria.
Trust me, more people read through AoS comments for the hilarity than read through Sharmuta's tongue bathing of CJ and strict enforcement of the code of the cult.

Count me among the previous LGF regulars who has been saddened by the steady decline of the blog. I quit posting/lurking there a few months ago. I still stop by every day, but I increasingly shake my head when I read the stuff over there. For a long time I thought it was just me, until things started showing up on the other blogs I read verifying that there really was a drastic change going on over at LGF. I think it's sad, mostly because united we stand, divided we fall.

I used to post there and read it daily, from about 2003 through 2007. But I got banned somehow, apparently because I committed the "sin" of posting on a blog that Charles doesn't approve of (though I always stayed out of the internecine blog wars).
It's a damned shame. He's done a lot of good work in the fight against the jihadis and their Western enablers (for which much thanks), but he's got a different bee in his bonnet these days. And he gets his boxers in a bunch about things faster than you can say Jack Robinson.

"Charles let his disappointment with the GOP turn in to Obama-worship.
He let his unease with creationism turn into Christian-bashing."
Yep. That Christian-bashing is really bigotry, nothing less. I'm a pretty mild-mannered Episcopalian, but this is too much.
And his admiration for Obama is like that of "evariste" on Discarded Lies, who also (I suspect) got tired of being in the Out Crowd.

LGF was one of the very first blogs I discovered after 9-11. I couldn't stop reading about the middle east nutjubs and just how despicable a swamp the middle east really was. Lately CJ has lost me too. I could care less about the whole creationism debate and it's really taken a front seat to the middle east and muslim nutjobs. Back in 02-03 it was THE blog to read for me, but the positive is it led me to other blogs such as Ace and bloggers like Allahpundit. I hope CJ can find some medication or whatever else to fix his wagon.

I am an atheist who believes in evolution, i don't back european facists(muslim or otherwise). however i was so off put by LGF i wrote him an email and told him i was done reading his blog. It too was my favorite with Ace and Jawa. However, Charles seems intent on purifying his blog of differing opinion. He has become one of those meghan mccain types that says we need to enlarge the republican party by kicking out the largest groups, the religious, the socially conservative,the libertariansand anyone who doesn't 100 percent agree with Charles on everything. You can't even mention the word creation. like i saidbelieve in evolution, 100 percent, however i don't think evolution explains how all that exists or all that "is" started. So if i were to say on his blog how was everything created, the universe, its contents, living organisms, then i am a backwards creationists in his eyes.
He mocked the whole tea party thing, which i understand didn't accomplish a ton, yet, but to outright dismiss protests by your fellow travels is unwise. I have never, NEVER, been to a protest before, i have a white color job that keeps me busy, but i showed up to the local protest.
He denegrates the ron paul people, somne of whom are nutty, but when you have a movement where everyone can think freely but agrees on economic policy and the meaning of our constitution, of course you will get truthers et al. That is part of the whole freedom thingie, people see things differently, but if they can unite on two major issues, the contitution and economics, that is all that should matter.
His blog has turned into his own personal vendetta machine. I honestly think he reads all the comments on his blog and rivals blogs because sometimes he will call out POSTERS on other peoples blog and accude the person who runs the blog of endorsing what a POSTER said. He will then bitch and whine about another bloggger doing the same thing.
I would have been willing to ignore this crap but he has completely given up on the whole anti jihad thing and has decided to spend all his time MeghanMccainicing the party.
Charles Johnson is to liberal blogs what Joe Scarborough is to MSNBC. He's become a colin powell republican, which does nothing but point out the faults but offers not solutions. He never mentions how the republican party is expected to make up the 20-30 million votes it will lose when it kicks out the religious and socially conservative. Or how one can oppose obama and not be some sort of traitor or obstructionist.
What finally pushed me over the edge was him posting often attacking glenn beck. i don't know what people here think of glenn but i enjoy his show(for the record i can't stand bill oreilly, ingrahmor hannity but i like savage.). I am not a die hard fan, but i figured there was apoint where i had to pick one or the other, and by this time the choice became easy.
It is a big loss, but not one i chose lightly.
Charles Johnson will be hosting morning Joe on MSNBC in a few months.

He never mentions how the republican party is expected to make up the 20-30 million votes it will lose when it kicks out the religious and socially conservative. Or how one can oppose obama and not be some sort of traitor or obstructionist.
What finally pushed me over the edge was him posting often attacking glenn beck. i don't know what people here think of glenn but i enjoy his show(for the record i can't stand bill oreilly, ingrahmor hannity but i like savage.). I am not a die hard fan, but i figured there was apoint where i had to pick one or the other, and by this time the choice became easy.
It is a big loss, but not one i chose lightly.
Charles Johnson will be hosting morning Joe on MSNBC in a few months.

I used to be a huge fan of LGF, but they turned into Daily Kos with readers being able to have your account shut down if you disagree with them.
Shame on Charles. He's turned into "them".
What once was a wonderful blog site has turned into a bunch of assholes gathering together and keeping different thoughts out. Oh, gee, much like DKOS.
The last time I posted there, it seemed like every freakin' day for a month, he was ranting on and on about Texas and the battle over Creationism. Seems like there were no less than 4 or 5 topics a day on the subject. Finally, I said (almost word for word) "What's the big deal about this? Get on with something else for a change. God forbid someone should bring up another subject. Oops. I said "God". When I went to log in the next day, my account was shut down.
No cussing, not trouble making. And I was a subscriber for several years. No more.

I used to be a regular over there (using a different name), but then LGF stopped being a go-to site for news on jihadis and instead became a place where Charles Johnson told us about Right and Wrong.
This is a job for which he lacks wisdom and experience.

I fear Charles Johnson has started focusing more on topics dear to the center-left due to professional pressure in his day job (session musician). That said, it is his sand box (and a well made sandbox- his internet fu is strong), my issues were:
I'm fine with his calling out the creationists, but I think he should have put the meat of it on a different blog page. The political impact and influence of creationism is a good topic for discussion, getting in to the back a forth of slapping down ID and Young Earth, etc. loses me. Might as well blog about Scientology - I don't think many people care.
His crusade against the anti-semites in Europe is correct; but really needs to done by a European. Americans who play footsie with the them need to be called out on it. My father's older brothers still have fascist shrapnel in them and we should not forget it. He does good detective work putting all of the pieces together from limited resources.
My biggest problem is his wanting to be a political "nice guy." Refusing to engage in good old-fashion mudslinging and being critical of those on your side who do is a mistake. All mud sticks, you gotta keep slinging it -- nirthers, this Chysler meme, Ayers, etc. HuffPo was a vile cesspit of lies and distortion during the Bush years, now they are on Air Force One.
Finally, it just isn't any fun over there.

Charles Johnson is like a Greek tragedy. He did superb work on the TANG/Rather forgeries as well as the 2006 Reuters Beirut Fauxtography - then he got caught up in a silly blog war with Pam Geller of Atlas Shrugged and Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch and became obssessed with Creatioinism and turned his blog into a milder version of The Daily Dish with daily posts about some fucking School Board in Texas that I would never hear about (or ever wanted to hear about) regarding crationism. His boundless narcissim is now daily on dispaly where he is a regualr psoter on his threads (something he rarely used to do) where he bullies and insults people who dare to disagree with him. There is something almost King Lear-like about Johnson raging against Paulians, Nazis, Eurofascists, Tea Parties, Glenn Beck, Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Creationists, etc. You are right, soon he will become a Trig-truther trying to prove that Bristol Palin is the baby's real mother.

I read LGF regularly for years, even though I don't post, and it's gone steadily downhill since the election. [One exception, I did find the links to QualiaSoup's vids interesting and can effectively use the "Open-Mindedness" argument to covert an atheist to an agnostic (baby steps - hah).] I think CJ's trying to carve out a niche as an intellectual leader of sorts, heralding science, high above the mindless masses of fundies and those he'd accuse of having Obama Derangement Syndrome (are we deranged over the swift-changing scope of our govt and the deepening debt?). But to be an intellectual leader, you have to generate some actual ideas instead of constantly on the attack -- good ideas are hard work, and brilliance near impossible. But on LGF, when he's not attacking, he's defensive. Not a healthy place for him to be in, really. I guess we can all find ourselves in that tight spot, online or in our personal lives. He can still turn this around, go on a sabbatical, figure out where he wants to go with his blog. Maybe next go 'round, not tie his name to his site -- that way, when he encounters a disagreeable poster, he can choose not to take it personally, not ban them. Maybe I'm all wrong here, but I can't imagine he's too happy with his dropping viewership. I hope he takes a break and can return with a fresh perspective, even if it's promoting science or something he's passionate about, in a positive way. I hope he reads this, but I have no idea.

I think its good to have a place like LGF that does differ from the mainstream conservative movement a little bit and I think his point about using negative language repeatedly and not offering alternatives is a dangerous and ineffective strategy (for example, if one isn't a fan of Sotomayor why not point out cases and quotes which do the talking then suggest a 'moderate' like dems tried with prado?) if not necessarily specifically on judicial nominations (there seem to be few consequences for the appelate nominee filibusters and no votes on Roberts/Alito) but one the 'Obama never went negative' bs Charles is definitely kind of flailing to support a weak argument that he made there. When pointed out that some of the Obama campaign's ads were negative, he claimed that he wasn't counting DNC actions (though clearly the two are linked). Then when it was pointed out those ads were in fact paid by the Obama campaign he tried to ignore it and claim it still missed his larger point--that Obma presented the image of always running a positive campaign.
Its bad enough that the media will parrot Obama's narratives. Charles is too smart to parrot them as well and then reflexively bend over backwards to defend poor arguments.

" Although, to be fair, evariste doesn't generally BAN people who disagree with him."
Ironically, he was one of the first to ever be banned by Charles at LGF. His sin? Being critical of Chuck on another website. That is the no-no to end all no-nos. Charles can handle criticism on his own blog (because he has the power to delete it), but nobody seems as willing to use draconian speech codes to defend Charles' honor as Charles is. Whodathunkit?

Yes Scout (Atticus raised a smart girl) he will. It will be a natural progression (or should I say regression) for him. He will blame it on Netanyahu, or Lieberman, or the "settlers" or the few Kahanists there, or the fervently pro Israel Christian "Right". He will do it "more in sorrow than in anger" and then he will start whining about the poor Palestinians. It will be his penultimate epiphany (just like Charley Reese used to be very pro Israel). The sad thing is that the Jewish suckups to him on that blog will rationalize his treachery.

Hi guys, I'm still here in Vegas on a break from the action. Barack and me had a good night at the blackjack tables with our system of bet one chip if it's bad and two if it's good. We had to stop it after a while, but Barack let me drive the Buick slow on the driveway afterwards. I'm an excellent driver.
Anyways, I wandered around a little bit and went into this one suite to meet with a supposed mole for our side. Come in to see this guy with a ponytail down to his ass and these gruesome long nails. He'd once been king of the blogosphere and even developed this revolutionary wooden bicycle called the Spruce Bruce or something like that. He had bike parts strewn over his bed, some weird jazz CDs, and a few faithful aides who stayed with him with these glassy eyed stares.
Anyway, glad to see you guys here at Ace of Spades, I've gotta go to the buffet table with Elvis in a few minutes. Best burgers with dijon mustard this side of Katie's

I think the fact that CJ rarely had any insight or commentary, is what first caused me to check LGF on a less-than-daily basis... I can get headline links lots of places. But when I finally noticed he took the time to rant and rave about neo-Nazies, creationism-obsessions, etc more than anything else, I stopped going there altogether. Funny, just yesterday I was thinking "hmm, maybe I should just check LGF, perhaps CJ finally got laid and has relaxed a bit..." glad I saw this post before wasting my time!

I can't believe I've read every one of these comments.
I think we all know a Charles Johnson in real life. 'The guy who says you're disagreeable because the two of you aren't agreeing. The guy who thinks your thoughts are based on blind ideology, but his are on objective consideration.

I'll wager that Charles has got a younger girlfriend who is a bit of a leftist and that is responsible for his strange behavior.

Wow, I didn't even realize until know that I'd been banned from LGF!! I recall making a rather innocuous comment challenging CJ's position regarding a debate between two nutters in the news and the "merits" of their positions on Creation/Evolution. It wasn't even a serious challenge, more along the lines of "Really?? You're weighing in on a drunken slapfest between two losers and actually picking a dog in this fight?" He really has gone off the deep end.

Charles was always liberal, which is fine. I couldn't tell you what's happened to him in the past year. The man who (rightly) is unwilling to tar the entire faith of Islam with the evil of the terrorists, and gleefully bans and rejects those who do, is only too happy to tar Christianity as a whole, the Catholic Church as a whole, the Right as a whole, creationists (I believe in evolution, but also in God, which makes me suspect) as a whole. If only he were as fair to those who disagree with him as he is to Islam. LGF used to be the site that fact checks your ass. Now it's the groupthink of those around Charles.
Immediately after the 9/11 atrocities, Rosie O'Donnell gushed about how much she loved W. because he kept her children safe. Years after that, after the shock wore off, she reverted to type and became a truther. Charles was hard left before 9/11. He was mugged by that reality. Now that that issue has quieted down, he's going back to who he was, and systematically alienating his embarrassing readers, who remind him what he _used_ to believe.
Oh well, that's why there's an Internet. Lots of other sites out there, indeed many that were inspired by Charles' previously priceless work.

The first several times I read LGF I was surprised anyone thought it was right wing. Something weird there. Remember 1972? McGovern was pro-life and pro-Second Amendment. He was not right wing.
What was most distressing is that he, like many on the other side, seems unable to distinguish between articles of faith for both: Revealed Truth for the Creationists, and an ill-formed scientific theory for the atheists. (And it is ill-formed. You can take my word for it. I have a philosophy degree. Describe the experiment that replicates the "evolution" of, say, an eyeball.) The former is not science, and the latter is not religion. Duh!
He doesn't really have a ponytail, does he? Idk, unless he's trying to be Richard Marcinko....

Charles Johnson is either deliberately myopic or a fool. Obama never went negative? The reason he didn't have to (although this post shows Obama did indeed go negative) is he had his surrogates do the negative for him....all his leftist fanatics in the MSM and blogosphere dug into the life of Sarah Palin's family and the NYTs tried to smear John McCain with a phony sex scandal story.
LGF is a joke site -- completely worthless as a newsource or daily haunt. So long Chucky Johnson, you smuck.

Yeah, I hear you. I'm in an ongoing political (email) debate with a lefty just like you describe. He's already laid the ground rules -- I can't cite any conservative-leaning sites or institutions (he tells me to take them with a grain of salt and won't respond to substantive points), but he sends nonsense truthout links to me all the time. He sets the bar of proof high for me, but the bar so low for himself that he can step right over, no problem. That's okay. If I don't lose my mind, it'll just make me a stronger debater, I figure. ...

Wow. So I'm not alone. I "found" LGF around 2002 and loved it for what it was then. Now? Charles and the rest of his liberal friends(yes, they are liberals, don' t kid yourselves at the base over there folks) who had a moment(or a few years) of conservative thinking after 9/11 have reverted back to hetro-hating, Christian-hating, "extremist-hating", leftists. Sure, they don't quite slam the door completely shut on a conservative viewpoint if it somewhat jives with their beliefs about islam, but they lost this conservative Christian Patriot a few years back, when the whole tone of the blog went to the "moderate" vibe.
Plus, how many posts about a photo of a bicycle part can you really stand in a week anyway?

I was banned for daring to disagree with Johnson's linear model of politics. You know, everyone fits someone on the "left-middle-right". So Nazis and Republicans and Creationists are all right-wingers, in Johnson's view.
When I pointed out that people rarely fit into that simplistic model and gave the voting history of Muslims in Michigan as the obvious example -- intolerant Charles was clearly annoyed and I was gone. No insults, no nasty language, nothing like that at all. Just skepticism of his political views.
For a blog to be successful, a moderator needs to be tolerant of different opinions. When the moderator starts using his power to kill discussion he disagrees with -- the blog is dead. I'm not sure what happened to Johnson - has his atheism destroyed his tolerance?

You're definitely talking to the wrong guy about when to send the gay porn to the liberal emailer.
My first reply would have been to sign him up to every single ass ramming gay site out there. No debate, no discourse, just tons and tons of giant-cocked, porn spam.
I figure if I can make the liberal say HOLY FUCK, I've already won.

I think of htis quote when i used to visit charles site
"If you're so consumed by hatred for someone, you might as well be loving them, because you're thinking about them for the same amount of time"
If certain groups need to be neglected why spend all your time talking about them. let them fad into obscurity.
I have read on posts here tha tLGF put up a post in response to this. This is what caused me to leave his site, the fact he would look at the COMMENTS of other blogs and paint the bloggers as nuts because some commenters said things he didn't like. The man is becoming an internet dictator on the level of the the daily kos. I am honestly pissed about this whole thing because i LOVED his site. It is like having someone you care about go nuts, you get over it but you still want to see that person but in the back of your mind you know the person you want to see is gone and all the reddeming traits and things you liked about that person have been replace by something you hate.
i am temped to view it but i no longer want to give him the traffic.l for the last six months before i left his site the on;ly thing i went for was the story feed at the top of his blog.
i tried to register once, but i never received a confirmation email with a password. i guess i was pre emptively rejected

It seems he has Sullivan-itis.
For those who don't remember, Andrew Sullivan used to one of the strongest pro-war voices on the internet. Heck, the left gaybaited him with regularity and dug up some farily embarrassing personal stuff on him.
Then he got obsessed with gay marriage, and suddenly anyone who support Bush or the WoT was a Christianist no better, and probably worse, then the Islamists we were facing.
Looks like for Charles the issue is creationism but the transformation will be the same. It will be amusing to watch the left roll back all their "LGF is racist and fascist" comments over the next few years.

You know, someone way back in the thread said that this site was headed the same way as LGF. I don't see it it here. We argue and fight among each other, but we all fight fairly, and respect each other; sort of 
Ace knows he has a base audience, and more than a few like me that lurk, but will come in and make our statements. He also has a crew that will come in and post when he is unavailable. We disagree, but we get along. We also will discuss with a troll, as long as they argue cogently.
I agree that the site has changed a bit since I found it in 2003-2004. It has not, however, gotten worse. Witnes, not long ago, when Ace asked us to calm the language down a bit so that he could attract advertizers. We did, not because we are afraid of getting banned, but because we like it here, and want this to continue. We also have a community that is not afraid of the ban stick. We like each other, but we will actively disagree on any point among each other.
We have the gamut of the "tent." We have really really right wing, and we have "moderates." We have at least one lesbian who loves to tease us with her shoes, and we have a gay conservative lawyer. We have hot chicks, of all ages, that mesmerise us with their talk to us. We have an opera singer who aspires to be a physician. we ARE America! AND, we are a family,
Ace owns this blog, but he doen's run it like his own personal empire. He kind of lets it go where we take it. Thats why I come here every day, and I suspect others come here for the same reason.

Ace knows he has a base audience, and more than a few like me that lurk, but will come in and make our statements. He also has a crew that will come in and post when he is unavailable. We disagree, but we get along. We also will discuss with a troll, as long as they argue cogently.
I agree that the site has changed a bit since I found it in 2003-2004. It has not, however, gotten worse. Witnes, not long ago, when Ace asked us to calm the language down a bit so that he could attract advertizers. We did, not because we are afraid of getting banned, but because we like it here, and want this to continue. We also have a community that is not afraid of the ban stick. We like each other, but we will actively disagree on any point among each other.
We have the gamut of the "tent." We have really really right wing, and we have "moderates." We have at least one lesbian who loves to tease us with her shoes, and we have a gay conservative lawyer. We have hot chicks, of all ages, that mesmerise us with their talk to us. We have an opera singer who aspires to be a physician. we ARE America! AND, we are a family,
Ace owns this blog, but he doen's run it like his own personal empire. He kind of lets it go where we take it. Thats why I come here every day, and I suspect others come here for the same reason.
If it ever changes, for the bad; as LGF has, then I will leave. I suspect, however that the smart military morons that inhabit this space will never let this happen. I, personally, love these people, and dont want that to happen., and will fight it..

Johnson's linear model of politics
Hah.
Great postulate there - the question of socialism has been answered, just a nuance of just how much or little, it does not register on the political spectrum as seen by the progressive liberals - the spectrum is seen as a range of transnational/world-view on the origin (left) and nationalist/racist to the right.

Banned back in March IIRC. I dared to disagree with chuckles that Sara Palin's religion was part of the reason the GOP lost the election.
He cited as proof........Google searches of Sara Palin + Creationism (1.25 million)and the fact that LGF'rs were talking about it. Yes really. No polls, anecdotes, or anything else. He was rather nasty and condescending the whole time. The mere fact that I dared to challenge him seemed to piss him off. The final straw for him was when I down dinged sharmuta on 3-4 posts of hers in retalliation for her down dinging me for disagreeing with chuckles.

I agree. I used to read LGF religiously (oh wait Charles, don't ban be for using the R word). But it seems like the site has transmogrified into a combination of the anti-Jihadist as well as evolution related subjects. I'm just not that into the evolution stuff that I think it's worthy of several posts a week.
Oh yeah, there's also the vaccination posts as well.

Wow, what a revelation this thread is. Especially #398. I used to be active commenting at LGF, but I went down that list and most of my favorites from a year or two back have been banned! Mamma Winger and Babba Zee? Too funny.
I haven't been banned - who knows after this post - but I hardly comment or visit LGF anymore because it just isn't interesting anymore. If I want to learn Ajax I'll buy a book, you know? And the creationists and Nazis under every unturned stone thing is wearing a bit thin. Now, every conservative pundit is EEEEEEEEEVIL and he's taking on El Rushbo? The guy after Reagan most responsible for the conservative resurgence? Too mucking futch.
I like Charles - he's a guitarist/I'm a guitarist - but he's going down the path to utter ruin. The number one psychological tic of a megalomaniac is THE INABILITY TO SUFFER OPINIONS THAT DIFFER FROM YOUR OWN. He's got that one down pat now, judging from the astonishing banned list I just read.
Another is to surround yourself with sycophants. Check.
I could go on, but really, what's the use? With apologies to Veep Biden, I'm pretty sure I have a higher IQ than he does.

The fact he has suckups like Sharmuta, Irish Rose, and others troll other sites for him to snitch back to him is creepy enough. But now? He is openly urging his followers to dig up dirt on anybody and everybody with whom he disagrees, so that he can publish it in the hopes of..well, I dunno.
So far, two of the guys he has outed strike me as odd ducks anyway, so that is irrelevant. But he (allegedly) used the PayPal donation information of another person to out them.
Also, Charles is pissed at Ace for not policing his comments? What about Charles' own disclaimers about the comments "don't reflect..."? And didn't Ace go to bat for Charles back last year wen a St. Louis newspaper attacked him and LGF for some vile comments (that Charles deleted) about a mosque being built?
Nice to see how Charles returns a favor.

Wow, a lot of you lasted a lot longer than I did, as far as reading LGF. I was damn impressed by CJ taking Rather's scalp, butin 2004 I stopped reading right after I got to Korea for assignment.
Mainly, the blog was damn boring. One of CJ's quirks is that once he finds a "cause," he'll worry it to death like a dog on an old chew rope. I don't mind a jihad post once in a while, but he'd post six or seven in the same day, and the comments were generally just people mouthing what CJ had said over 300-400 posts. It grew tiresome really fast.
I'd contend that CJ is different from John Cole, however, in that CJ was once a committed leftist that briefly "went native" when it allowed him to indulge his more general anti-religion fetish. The Rather Memo Incident ended up saddling him as a conservative, and it took a while for him to come back around to his original political leanings once traffic started dying off.
Cole, OTOH, shows no political integrity AT ALL. He basically turned from conservative to liberal because his site was invaded by leftist trolls and he gave up trying to defend conservative principles. Whereas CJ is becoming a leftist apologist because that is what he was before, Cole became a leftist in order to fit in at his own damn blog, and because he got tired of being on what he perceived to be the losing side. I guarantee if inflation and unemployment hit double digits, and if Afghanistan turns into a bigger cluster-fuck than Iraq, he's going to start questioning whether Obama has what it takes. If the Dems get clocked in 2010 or 2012, he'll switch back to being a conservative unless he gets completely beat down by his commenters, or he'll start banning to avoid the incredulous wails of "why?"

"Just trying to understand the anger of which you apparently have a lot."
I'm pretty liberal in my political views and agree with Charles about a lot of stuff, but when your blog turns into a monomanical hatefest and you start banning everyone who disagrees with you...count me out.
Charles blog used to be about issues and analysis, now it's about Charles. The cult of personality that he's cultivating is perverse and I pity anyone (i.e. you) that finds it attractive.

My favorite saying by Charles after he whips out the banstick on someone whos having even the slightest disagreement with him ?
I was just saving him from the inevitable meltdown post
A real humanitarian that Charles.

joan, I kinda agree with the guy who said that we guys want to see all tits, including hers. We might ask her to toll them back up in her bra, but we we still want to see them.
Unlike yours which I bet are a perky and deliscious.

well i won't show you my entire boobage. but i do show a little cleavage on some of my pics at my yearbook site if you are that interested. i'm pretty skinny and have small boobs.

I have read all the way down this thread. Often, it's been noted that Charles' two claims to decent blogging, are the Rather thing, and the Fauxtography revealings. I wonder if any here are aware that it was his commenters who did the footwork, uncovered the messes, and told him about it.. And, that he took the material ran with it, dropping, as time went by, any crediting or hat tips to those who essentially made him famous in the news blogging world.
In the same vein, that is why his blog is sinking, having not much interesting to read anymore --he's banned all the lovely diggers footworkers thnkers..... : )

Yeah, I was reading the LGF comment thread, and when I saw your post, I thought "He's toast."
I stopped visiting about 3 years ago, slowly but surely. I removed his link about a month ago.

In defense of Mr Johnson:
1) He codes his own site by hand. Seems self taught. That is cool
That's not a good thing. His site has ALWAYS been a huge resource hog. That is one of the sites that I could 'look forward' to freeze up. Downloading the equivalent of the Library of Congress to read a simple thread is wasteful, pointless, and evidence of a horrible design.

I stopped going to LGF a month and a half ago. I'd had enough. I won't be going back either. I did the same thing years ago with Andrew Sullivan when he went whacko before Bush's reelection--dropped him an email and have avoided all links to his writing ever since. I only read the headlines on blogs pointing out the latest idiocy from him but I have no interest in reading what he vomited up. Johnson is now in the same boat.

I wonder how many times Charles instinctively reached for the ban stick while reading comments here.
The real problem IMHO is that there are a lot of people on our side who are here for whatever reason here but not out of respect for the values and cause. For Charles it's his beef with islamists. However since they don't give two cents about the cause once it stands in way of their ego guess what will have to give way.
Same thing happened if I remember correctly with Terry Schiavo's husband. He was a nominal Republican but when Republican values and Republicans stood in the way of him enjoying his life he didn't think twice and started blogging for Daily Kos. Or so I've heard.

Charles Johnson lost me when he simultaneously went off on Spencer, Bostum, Wilders, Geller, Limbaugh, ........ well, Spencer really. Is there anyone out there as informed as RS regarding Jihad? I think not. That was the straw. cj? irrelevant.

Maybe Johnson is the one who had a meltdown. I live in the south bay and recognized his pix of the beaches and pv peninsula around here - along with the expose on Rather his blog was great reading. Plus Johnson was picking up mySQL, was a mac enthusiast, and seemed a genuine good guy.
But geez, after posting a few comments that were just skeptical of his views on what a "right winger" is -- I'm banned. And he's so snide with those who disagree with him these days -- and for no reason either, Johnson is not a learned man and therefore shouldn't take on airs he can't back up.
Maybe thats why he's so quick to ban anyone who argues back. He knows he can't handle the back-and-forth.
Anyways I'll have to go check out LFG2.

How proud you must be for scraping up Kos' sloppy seconds after banning anyone with an original thought. Have fun compiling the new enemies list and purging Charles' past posts of threads that might create cognitive dissonance.

LGF is one of the reasons I check blogs at all. It all started for me around RatherGate. He reproduced the fake memos and the rest is history.
But now for me, Ace is the place.
I come for the news and stay for the #1 commenters in the blogosphere.
And for the occasional haiku and flame-war threads.

I was a "lizard" since the Dan Rather thing, but a couple months ago I made the mistake of questioning Charles attack on Ann Coulters book, and I said I believed in a higher power, and I took a vicious tongue lashing.

Actually CJ rocks when it comes to his web engine - He will not only
disappear the offensive comment but the last year's or so as well.
Actually, he will wipe the ENTIRE HISTORY of a banned commenter. Very Stalin-esque.
little itty bitty sarc tag missed

Did not bother to check that ENTIRE HISTORY part, but it does leave HTs on the front page...
There was one poster that asked explicitly that his HTs be deleted as well as closing the account. Account closed. Front page HTs not.

What's going on at LGF? I don't know. I cut Charles loose from my list of bookmarks a couple months ago and I haven't looked back.
He's a good guy and I enjoyed his blog for a very long time. I enjoyed, as James Lileks put it, "free ice cream."
But after he showed extreme distaste for the Tea Parties, I realized he was just picking fights with us for no good reason. He doesn't like us any more. It was the same way with Andrew Sullivan--one morning he woke up and decided that he didn't like us any more. Don't obsess over it, just move on.

My favorite poster was Bigel that was one ornery joo (banned).
I got banned for posting at LGF 2.0 mentioning the change the site went through.

I just finished commenting at lgf, and it's like another world, with the "updings" and sycophants and weird lingo like GAZE. I got told to "fuck myself" three times in a row by different posters. One was stupid enough to obliquely threaten meandto link to his website with his phone number and address on it.
That could make it easy for the Texas Attorney General, I suppose.
I noticed the posters there are very chummy with each other, like high school kids. It's like a damn cult. I mentioned Obama's monetary policy and it was like a pack of tiny juvenile Piranhas attacking me as a Paulbot.
Strange people. Some are fine, I believe, but there are a number of others that never would have been allowed on that site back in 2004.

Drew did you miss the thread here that because commenters were critical of him he went and removed AoS from his blogroll. Not to mention all his sycophants coming over here and demanding Ace tell everyone to stop it. And then there were the people he banned on his website solely for commenting here as well and preferring this to LGF.
Shut up! He didn't.? Isn't this the dude that gets all pissed off when someone in the media who attribute his commenters comments to him? I do believe I've seen him pissing his pants over that.

Maybe he's angling to be the rights lazy blogger equivalent of Atrios? Leftards swarm to his endless "open teh bog" pearls of wisdom.

I was just thinking about the run up to the '06 elections and Ace's getting a LOT of milage out of Jim Webb of Vermont, distinctive ahem writing style. Lots of "turning upside down" and --I'll just leave it there.
Also, anyone recall the news story that warranted 17 flaming skulls? Yes, 17! Good times, good times.

Most of those kiddies either weren't born yet or were smearing their poo on the walls back then. I was in my early 20s in the Carter years and inflation left us in the words of Dan Ackroyd "screwed, blued, and tatooed"
They'll find out about the ravages of inflation after paying the necessities and finding out they don't have enough left over to buy that new iPod even though they got a raise at work. Or in many cases mommy starts bitching about the light bill and there isn't any Ben Jerry's in the fridge

There's a reason that some 39% of people in the U.S. identify as Independents these days.
Bottom line is that the two party system has become a game of "Let's you and him fight," and the American citizenry are the chumps who are finally starting get tired of being chumps.
What they want now is freedom.
Which was part of my plan all along.
LGF and others are still playing the chumps in the game of "Let's you and him fight," as are you.

Like many here, LGF was one of the first blogs I visited due to Rathergate (the other blog that got me hooked was Powerline, which still holds my attention). I'm not at all surprised by Charles's turn, as I knew what he was when I started reading. He wasn't shy about his liberal beliefs, they just didn't come up when the subjects were media malpractice and islamofascism. I kept with him on the Ron Paul issue, finding that his arguments and conclusions have merit, and that I would never touched Mr. Paul with a twelve foot poll (despite the fact that yes, I agree with many of his economic positions). I even have to admit that, initially, I had no problem with his offensive against intelligent design. In fact, I welcomed it, as I believe that logical debate within a political party is healthy, and that taking allies to task when they're running off doing something stupid makes the group stronger in the long term.
It started out nicely nuanced, as Charles took pains to point out that there was no contradiction between belief in evolution and belief in God. However, the signs of the eventual devolution of his argument were quickly apparent as, despite those caveats, he would give the evangelical athiests like Hitchens complete passes. It was simply a matter of time before he dropped the nuance completely and became hostile to religion.
Still, that was not enough for me to stop visiting entirely. That came much more recently, with the Tea Parties. Charles has never learned the maxim that no cause is so pure that it does not attract fugheads. To a fair minded person, the fact that some of the creepier Ron Paul supporters tried to insert themselves into the Tea Party movement should not taint the movement as a whole. Unfortunately, Charles is no longer fairminded, if he ever was. Indeed, he may have displayed this deficiency sooner, with the Vlams
Whatchamawhosits, but I quite frankely was never interested in those
stories, so never followed them.
Now, will I be banned from LGF for posting this? Probably not, as I posted under a different screenname there. Will it matter if I am? No, as I quite frankly have no interest in engaging in any discussion on LGF.
It's a shame that one of the first blogs I've ever read has fallen so far, but again, I knew that day would come.

Kind of a badge of honor, really. I once mentioned that I relied on God to help me through all the blood and guts from being a medic, during Desert Storm and one of Chucky's lizard followers called me "Goofy".

"He will turn on Israel, too. Just wait."
I don't see that happening for a while, I can definitely see Mark Steyn getting trashed in the near future though. After all, he guest-hosts for Limbaugh and that will probably be enough to draw Charles' ire.
For me there's a few problems
1) Too much creationism.
2) He appears to have jumped on the "Global Warming" bandwagon.
3) Palin-bashing.
4) Support for RINO-ism - even though possibly the most RINO of all candidates crashed and burned in the last election.
Oh and for some reason LGF has been abysmally slow for the past month or so.

I still think Charles is a talented guy. He has a great eye for forgery. You gotta give him that. As a sometimes web designer, I wish I had half his know-how.
That said...Given that a bunch of Islamic radicals were trying to kill us (and still are), his take-no-prisoners approach to Islam seemed appropriate. Now he seems to have just shifted his anger from Islam to Christianity. Of course, Christians haven't really blown up a lot of skyscrapers recently, so all he's got is ID which, after Dover, makes a pretty weak boogeyman IMO.
The creationist label rankles me too. Nearly everyone who isn't an atheist is a creationist, which is to say nearly everyone. Even those Christians (like me) who accept evolution as a fact are, strictly speaking, creationists. But Charles doesn't seem interested in that sort of nuance. Honestly I don't go over there enough to say for sure, but when I have, it was always an 11 on the outrage-meter.
In an ugly irony, Charles has embraced jihad.

In essence, CJ has returned to his liberal-fascist roots. His ideology MUST be correct, because he "knows" himself to be a good person. Conversly, those that disagree MUST be wicked, or at least misguided. It's the same thing for nearly 100 years now. This is the endgame for all Utopian idealists. Sucks, but there it is.

the guy has a God complex and is thinning the herd. What exactly does he support? He loves Israel but not their faith which is the raison det're of the state. From what I can tell, he is a weird California photographer who has it in for Jihad. I am think he hates Jihad more than Christians, but I think he loves to bash Christians and believing Jews more. In the end, he has made his own site weaker, we are lamenting something that is dying, he is lucky to get this much of a response; though it is mostly an obituary.

But I got bounced from LGF after disagreeing with Princess Charles about Darwin, and citing refereed academic sources, including some of my own work, in defense. I posted under the name MikeinIstanbul. So add me to the list.

LGF was a must-read for quite some time, but I haven't been over there in well over a year or so. As others have posted, Chas did a great job with Rathergate, but his obsession with religion - and make no mistake that he was going after jihadists in an appropriate manner - is quite troubling. I believe he equates any follower of a higher being, whether a Muslim or Christian, as someone who must be taken down.

Don’t mistake raucous discourse as “irrational”. I drop the f bomb, attack with opposing philosophy, and won’t hesitate to ad hom when necessary. The ‘arbitrary standard’ on AoS has been pretty much up to the individual poster. I’ve rarely seen anyone banned from here. You want examples of ‘irrational’, and ‘conform to the standard or go to hell’? The krazy Kos Kids, HuffPo and DU qualify. LGF has now joined their ranks. If many of the comments on here offend your ‘sensibilities’, go elsewhere. No one will stop you, and by the way, you probably won’t get banned.

There's a reason that some 39% of people in the U.S. identify as Independents these days.
Which means they simply cross party lines whenever they're dissatified with one or the other. Bottom line is that the two party system has become a game of "Let's you and him fight," and the American citizenry are the chumps who are finally starting get tired of being chumps. What they want now is freedom. Which was part of my plan all along.
Your plan?
LGF and others are still playing the chumps in the game of "Let's you and him fight," as are you.
You're only a 'chump' if you give someone permission to use you for the purpose.

Lets face it, charles always considered himself an elitist, despite evidence otherwise. When he tried to take credit for a comment someone else made on his website about the Bush Awol documents, thats when i knew he was just a lil bitch.
Used to be 1500 to 2000 comments on each post over there...i just checked after reading your post...its averaging 200-300...lol.

Charles Johnson and his Reptilian ban brigade is an excellent reminder that so long as 'rights are endowed by the Creator' then no Lizard Hitler can become an American dictator.
As history shows, Adolf Hitler also killed off any Christian who dissented against Dear Leader, after all how can the people worship Hitler if they are worshiping God.
Whether I am a Christian or not and whether I go to church or not, I will stand with Christians because for as long as they worship God the Creator there can be no worship of The One Creation in the form of a Hitler.
The Nazi Party was a Statist philosophy and like all Statists do they must eliminate Christianity in order to impose their tyrannical dictatorship.
It is ironic that Charles Johnson is the very Nazi that he accuses others of being.

Its funny watching Charles fail miserably at trying to be witty and intelligent...its was sort of uncomfortable before his melt down... but now its just outright hilarious. in light of everyone leaving his website, who will he have to convince of his greatness in substandard html coding and photography? lol!
I mean lets face it, some of his work was outright elementary and ridiculous...to see him attempting to gloat about it was just uncomfortable and sad...all at the same time.

"Sadly I can only conclude there's no room for me anymore under LGF's big tent."
I came to the same conclusion many months ago. I understand that there are many people who do not believe in the creation theory of origins...fine. In the end, we will all find out who was right. I happen to believe that the universe is entirely too complex to have created itself by accident. Where is the "first cause"? Anyway, I found LGF's mocking derisive tone towards my beliefs to be very offensive and intolerant, so I stopped reading him. He is free to hold whatever belief or disbelief that makes him feel good, I will do the same. I don't have to subject myself to the ridicule of another in order to read good political commentary, so I won't. I haven't missed him in the slightest.

I never read any blogs until after I completely retired both active and reserve-wise from the military in 2005. Don't ask why, I just tried to remain as apolitical as possible while in uniform. LGF was the first one I started visiting and commenting on regularly, and of course it's where I found out about AoS. From about 2007 onwards, I started reading more AoS and less LGF, but almost completely stopped reading LGF about six months ago with only occasional visits when the more deranged topics, such as The Bow and the DHS RWE memo came up. I still have a valid login there, but I came close to being banned I think on the DHS RWE thread.
Kinda sad to see people over there who used to have intelligent things to say now verbally fellating Charles in every thread.

yep. LGF was once my fav blog. i used to go there every day, several times a day. once the creationist stuff started i began getting very bored. charles is hardly an erudite, educated guy on the subject so the stories and comments became redundant and trite. it's not like charles is sam harris, or hitchens, so he simply has very little to add to the subject. there are provocative arguments on both sides from richard paley to dawkins, but in the case of charles it is obvious that he is not familiar with any of them. it's truly sad that LGF has become irrelevent; it was once a great blog. charles apparently doesn't understand how the market place works, and fails to connect the down turn of LGF with his own poor choices. people are simply not interested in what he is currently doing. i know i am not. going to LGF is like reading the same book everyday - over and over and over. you feel like sisyphus...carrying a rock up a hill and watching it roll back down, rewind, replay, repeat.

Ah, that explains a LOT, actually. In particular, I was always mystified by his complete blindness to BHO's badly faked (or at least very sloppily composited) "Certification of Live Birth" document**, his ignorance of Hawaii law, and his ad hom vitriol aimed at anyone who saw what he refused to see. All very telling in retrospect. At least DrewM and Ace entertained arguments on the subject.
I still believe LGF is equivalent to the trojan stopthenra.com site from some years back. Only in reverse.

I have to admit to haveing a bit of schadenfreude about the lament of the banned, many of whom were often begging Charles to ban me for presenting contrary views, in a sometimes obnoxious manner, and many of whom rejoiced when Charles sent me packing.
Nonetheless I enjoyed the arguments at LGF. Before my banning in October 2007 the banned tended to be either 1) disgruntled dead-enders such as Reaganite, Rayra and the gulf Coast Punditeers, or 2) truly obnoxious left-wingers like View from Ireland, or 3) one-of-a-kinds like Bigel. After my departure thetrains to Siberia really started running.
The funniest thing? I agree with every mid-course correction Charles has made in the past two years. But he's still a worthless egomaniacal insecure pathetic excuse for a popular blogger.

LGF was once a must. Until I saw this post I hadn't realized how long it had been since I had visited. It was like picking up the NY Times. I knew in advance what each of today's post would say.
CJ was once valuable forcompiling links to stories about Islamic terrorism, but I never found him a particularly astute political analyst. Glenn Reynolds's site mostly compiles information and Glenn's brief comments havegenuine wit and insight. CJ's utter contempt for anyone not in 100% agreement with him makes his advice to Republicans really quite funny. His complaints about the Tea Parties also showed him to be a rank amateur at political organizing. Of coursePaul supporters got involved, but there is an art to keeping a fringe on your side while not letting them become the public face of the movement that is obviously well beyond his grasp. The political party of CJ's choice could meet in a pup tent.

What was the reason for your banning? I debated you often at LGF and though rarely agreeing with you I respected your 'courage' in coming onto a conservative (then ) website and standing up for what you believed in. What is the story with reaganite? I never cared for that guy. View from Ireland I actually got along with although hardly ever agreeing with her.

How'd you get wind of this post? I mean, you hardly seem the AoSHQ type.

Now THAT is a nice turn of phrase.

Whether I am a Christian or not and whether I go to church or not, I
will stand with Christians because for as long as they worship God the
Creator there can be no worship of The One Creation in the form of a
Hitler.
Bravo. That is truth. It not only explains Hitler, but the Obamessiah as well. Not comparing the two men, mind you, but rather the rise of human messiahs among the godless. The Brownshirts and Obamaniacs drink the same koolaid.

As if another comment to this thread is needed, but I can't help it.
I used to post there as Rudi. Sometime after the 08' election, CJ posted a rant about how the GOP needed to move away from social conservatism. It just so happens he posted this missive right after CA adopted Prop. 8.
I simply commented that if a majority of Californians opposed gay marriage, then we shouldn't be quick to advise the GOP to drop social conservative positions. CJ was not happy with my comment--and yet never, ever offered any type of substantive rebuttal. This is when I noticed, for the first time, CJ injecting himself in the comments thread more frequently to chastise his own commenters. I also picked up the cult of personality vibe among his commenters as well. There were a few brave souls who tepidly supported my position.
Then, in response to some comment CJ made about creationism, I observed that he seemed "obsessed" with the subject. The Ban-Hammer fell. One poor guy stood up for me suggesting the banning was a little harsh. The Ban-Hammer fell on him/her.
Charles Johnson is a pathetic little insecure illogical internet tyrant. He's just dumb too.

Yes, well, I finally wrote CJ a note informing him that I was logging out for good before he or a finger pointing minion banned me. Charles has become Amanda Marcotte. Or at least, it seems to me that he has become like Howard Beale in the last act of Network. Once a force to be reckoned with, someone apparently has informed him thathe has "meddled in the primal forces of nature" and he's since cooled his jets. I see him eventuallyalone, totally pure, perhaps surrrounded by six or seven sycophantic followers, all screeching with theirfingers pointing outward. You see, we'll all be wrong but him and his devoted cult. Personally, I got awfully tired of the "don't piss off Charles" brigade.

I used to read the LGF every day, I only posted one time. I did however use the cute little rating system the (+ or -) icons for some posts. After several minus (-) clicks on some of his pet posts on off the wall items, I found myself banned for being "disruptive". Probably the best thing that ever happened to me. I think he (Charlie) has gone around the bend and seems to have drastically reduced number of people posting. Guess only the ass kissers are left, they all will probably tell him just what he needs to hear.

Am a new reader of your blog - after your nomination for a blog award. Your post regarding LGF is very interesting b/c Johnsonhad a veryengagingandinformative site. But I noticed the same thing months ago and it has been very puzzling; of course, my LGF visits were casual and mostly for info on mideast policy links for about 2 yrs. When it got crass and abrasive against all creationists/intel. design opinions, or disagreements, it lost my readership. Then, again, it may be another sign of evolution: only the fit survive and LGF may be headed for cyber extinction.

LGF was a multiple times per day stop for me as recently as a year and half ago. Then the creationist/fascist posts started filling up the site. I visit only once or twice a week lately, mainly to see if Charles has changed anything. I wondered whether I was alone in feeling disappointed by the downward spiral. Guess not.

I don't believe for a second that Charles has been bought off by George Soros or whatever.
My pet theory about his course change - shared by many others (see above) - is that he did it all for the nookie.
Butyou'd think that a guy getting regular sex wouldn't be so fcuking uptight, though, would you?
Hmmm, may have to rethink that theory ...

From Wiki - Jensen ultimately persuades Beale to abandon his populist messages. However, audiences find his new views on the dehumanization of society to be depressing, and ratings begin to slide.

I agree, but the community was friendly to conservatives or at least to issues conservatives cared about.
that depends on what conservative issue you're talking about. I was banned in the fall in the fall of 2005. I hardly talked smack on Charles. I had a disagreement with reaganite. Who's a big jerk in my opinion. For not agreeing with reaganite, I was considered a troll.

Geesh, Charles Johnson has really publicly self-immolated. How embarassing.

It's not that I disagree with him about creationism and the Texas school board or whatever- it's just that those particular issues are so far removed from relevance that, well, I don't bother reading about them anymore.

hey frum, a majority of hispanics are against abortion. many african americans and again, hispanics are also opposed to gay marriage. while i could personally care less about either issue i can at least acknowledge that abortion, gay marriage and myriad social issues that have the "moderate" republican camp foaming at the mouth offer the republican party an opportunity to appeal to a broader base. social issues matter.
and miss manners, the only allegiance one should have is to the defense of reason and one's ideals. charles and free speech, enlightenment thought, and common sense don't seem to be compatible at this point - hence the great exodus from lgf. besides, lgf has become irrelevent. after about the 10 thousandth creationist post what else is there to read? not only that, charles is pretty much a pedestrian on the topic and has nothing to offer to this very interesting debate. for those of us who have studied the arguments it becomes boring pretty quickly.

Lotta comments here, but I'll toss this out. I was banned from LGF on 1
January 2008 after less than a week of Lizardship. It was fun, clever
inane banter, with access to the Lizard Lounge and all, until I stepped
on a mine.
I mentioned the USS Liberty.
Within minutes I was accused of being a sock puppet, a troll, a jew
basher, an anti-semite, a neonazi, a white supremist, and other vile
insinuations (including "conspiracy theorist" by CJ himself). I didn't
realize I was being sandbagged until it was too late. Your kind and
polite commenter Mandy Manners@#78 was one of them.
I had a defender, though, who was subsequently accused of being a sock
puppet of myself. Mandy attacked him as well, until she found out that
the man, joecitizen, was crippled and could barely type. She suddenly got all altruistic. Mandy Manners is an asshole.
I think I'd rather hang out here for a while instead, Ace.

Shalom, y'all!
Yes,aghast at what has happened at LGF.A once enjoyable and well-commented blog has sadly deteriorated. On the up side, there are lots of places to read, and we are still free to choose for ourselves (for now, anyway). . .
So I read some things here and was glad i did! Added this blog, removed that one, life goes on
Let's hope that LGF and its owner can realign with reality, redirect toward relevancy,and soon rejoin the debates with dignity and purpose. There are a LOT of interesting, informed, and intelligent people who have commented there. Hard to see how it became such a redundant, narrow mess.
Am Yisroel Chai!

If you start writing that Israel deliberately targeted a ship knowing that it was an American ship and not an Egyptian ship, you will catch hell over here as well.

Wow, so many ex-LGF readers in one place. And so many similar tales to tell.
For some years LGF was my first stop online- along with frequent checks during the day but since the campaign, Charles seems to have been replaced by some kind of pod-person. It's a completely different website now.
I took LGF off my own links list when he went after Robert Spencer- the only thing that kept me coming back after that was the news links at the top of the page but ever since Charles claimed that the US government was deliberately concealing Bin Laden's death I've avoided even that.

FWIW, he is on record stating that he's straight.
Doesn't mean you have to believe him (or me, for that matter) of course, but I do.

I avoid repeating mistakes. At LGF, my comment was off the cuff, and was not intended to start a spinoff discussion, let alone a flame war. Others blew it out of proportion even as I tried to restore the peace and move on. I left the thread, only to get the hammer minutes later.

That sounds like a threat...shweet!
Here: Israel deliberately targeted a ship knowing that it was an American ship and not an Egyptian ship.
I like the “rumor” that the US was feeding intel to the Arabs and that Israel had no choice but to whack them. Oh, and wasn’t it nice of America to be “neutral” while Israel was on the verge of utter destruction?
But hey, a nation that will say it landed on the moon in 1969 will lie about anything...
...and to get back on topic, cj is a socialistfag who will eventually agree withPresident Jughead when he tosses Israel to the jackals.

HA HA ! I just saw "What the hell happened to me" at LGF. ROFLMAO.
CJ actually thinkspeople care what he thinks after his atrocious behavior with his wild ban stick and refusal to allow discussion.
Basically he says that it is mean to say you want anyone's policies to fail. He is telling the wrong party. Tell the democrats about that one. Cause they didn't know anything about for the last 8 years, hell think about how they denigrated Reagan, so dems have been using these tactics for decades without a break and it hasn't hurt them at all. In fact, last time I checked, their partisan attacks had placed them in control of the House, the Senate, and the Presidency.
HELL YES I WANT OBAMA TO FAIL BECAUSE HE WANTS TO REMAKE AMERICA INTO A THIRD WORLD SOCIALIST STATE LIKE ALL DEMOCRATS DO. Damn Right I want that to fail.

Count me as another FORMER LGF lizard. At one point a couple of years ago, the site was pertinent and interesting. It was a daily stop for me.
Johnson is just as much a bigot as the bigots he decries so much. His bigotries are against Creationists in general and Christians in particular. Long ago his blog became irrelevant due to his many hypocrisies.
Its been so long since I visited the website that I was unaware that he is a Obama fan. Its time for conservatives to throw LGF and Johnson under the bus. I did that long ago.

Yes I too was a long time fan of LGF. It was the first stop every morning and remained open in another tab while I was online. I found it right after the 9-11 attacks and read and posted on it for years . Last year it just seemed that I was disagreeing more and more with a lot of what he did. So I just stopped dropping in. I did learn a lot from the lizards over the years though and I am very happy to see some of them here(Hello Goddess).

bestThis might matter for Webb; as far as the others, the only way it will matter is if we make a big deal out of it. We're going to be called mean-spirited obstructionists if we do it after she's nominated just like we'll be called mean-spirited obstructionists before she's nominated. The only difference is, after the pick, in order to rescind her Obama would have to admit his supreme omniscient judgment was wrong--or he could just go ahead with her and feed to the media that we're a bunch of dirtbags for attacking her and run with that.

I was banned at LGF months ago. I had posted many, many times, over the years. Then one night someone attacked me and told me to leave for something I posted. (I certainly didn't think it was inflammatory, simply contradictory.) Next morning...Ban stick! Eff CJ and LGF...he's gone in a totally different direction. BTW...anyone notice that you can register (seemingly) anytime you visit anymore. it used to be a rare occurance that he would open up registrations. Now that it's morphed into a lefty blog, and every visit I've made in the last month, (about 4) you can register.
