Yannow, I used to be a regular reader of Little Green Footballs. No longer. Instead, I read these guys. One of their writers is none other than long time commenter, Rob Cooper.
A lot of people on the web are wondering WTF happened to Charles Johnson. What they fail to remember is that Charles used to be a liberal. He admits to voting for Pope Albert I of the Church of AGW back in 2000. 9/11 changed him. But as 9/11 and its memories fade into the past, Charles has rediscovered his liberal roots. That's my theory.
TNOYF has has another theory.
Update: BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
Posted by denny at September 18, 2009 12:13 PMI see I am not the only one to desert "that raving right wing site" :-).
Right wing my bleedin arse.
Got it dead on there Denny.
Haven't been there for ages now. My first login there got deleted for relating my experiences with some arabs down there is good ole Atlanta. I was neither rude nor hateful (warranted, but I wasn't :) just a polite rendition of the experiences. Poof, gone (post and me) :-). Just like a liberal (no explanation, no nothing).
Hung around a bit after that, but it became more and more obvious that it was being run by a liberal loon (with a desperate wannabe script kiddie complex :) so I set up another login(s) and left.
From folks that still go there I get reports that the readership doesn't seem too bad but charles is a raving loon.
Ah, for the flash in the pan he was I am grateful but not that grateful :).

Posted by: Rurik on September 18, 2009 01:51 PMLGF was a great site...now it resembles just another lefty cult.
Posted by: thud on September 18, 2009 04:25 PMI know this is off topic but it was fun! I went to the usurper's http://www.serve.gov/ and volunteered for “removing the usurper form office”.
Guess what? There were no results.
Give it a few tries just for fun and to tweak, at the least, the little IT geeks helping the usurper and maybe shutting down the site.
That is a job worth volunteering for!
Posted by: noway2no on September 18, 2009 06:55 PMI said good bye to LGF right after the election. In the months leading up to it, Charles was slipping off the surf board more and more. Best guess for me is he got some tainted medicinal marijuana, and his brain reset to liberal loon.
BTW, I absolutely love that set of videos.
"Don't cry Sharmuta".
Besides the blog, what does he do? He is always begging for hand outs. he used to market software, but atari computer systems are long gone. He has devolved into the typical lefty blogger. At one point I though maybe he was haha.
Chuckles little minion Killgore Trout showed up at HotAir at an ungodly hour spouting racist stuff, then going back to LGF to announce that everyone over there was a racist.
Using Chuckle's guilt by association technique, he is in bed with racists and scum. And he didn't even bother to rebuke Killgore. Which leads me to believe he sanctioned the raid. What a farging icehole.
Posted by: passionate conservative on September 18, 2009 11:33 PMI like LGF 2.0 as long as they stick to politics, etc.
When he goes off into old grudges, my eyes glaze over.
You have to have read both sites from day one to understand a lot of what Rob is talking about. Hope Rob can get the anger toward LGF 1.0 out of his system soon, and direct it toward the "Mucous Munching Maladjusted" 100 percent of the time. (I didn't want to say Booger Eatin' Morons....)
I got banned the second day after I registered.
I can't understand why?
All I did was post a 1,000-word dissertation on the popular, San Francisco based, art of anal bleaching and the gay community's obsession with the terrible burning sensation that Clorox imparts on the taste buds.
Perfectly innocent. Nothing to do with Creationism or Glenn Beck.
Posted by: Toejam on September 19, 2009 06:30 AMPassionate Conservative, look where Hot Air moved the LGF link to on their home page. They did that the day after the episode you refer to.
It was once a great site. My visits to LGF have dropped from daily, to weekly, to monthly, to IDGAF anymore.
Posted by: Inbredredneck on September 20, 2009 09:54 AMI haven't been there in ages. He started going off the tracks, at least to me, long ago.
