Charles Johnson is only a “centrist” in the sense that the people he is prepared to respectfully disagree with inhabit the region plus or minus 5% from the middle of the ideological spectrum. Everyone else is an “extremist” whose opinions are beyond the pale and should not be dignified with a response etc etc. How boring. This is why meaningful political debates no longer happen.

Go ahead and join truther tax rallies, and push creationism in schools. Real Conservatives like Goldwater and Buckley would be ashamed of you.

You’re right on the mark there, Reg, though I’d go one farther and say that for all practical purposes it has already happened. LGF has been, for quite some time now, relentlessly showcasing the nutty fringes of the far right, effectively joining league with the many liberal sites that espouse the image of conservatives as being just a bunch of racist, ignorant, Jesus-freak, fascist mouth-breathers. Gone is any pretense otherwise, though it does seem that there are a limited number of right leaning folk who haven’t yet recognized this, but they soon will. By betraying his conservative constituency who are responsible for his site’s popularity, he has ultimately relegated LGF to a downward spiral leading to obscurity.

The best of luck to you, and have a good night.

After a few pieces that tried to look at what is going on in Russia in a (god forbid) more nuanced way, they stopped asking. I always assumed that it was partially political. Marc, your rundown now has me convinced it was. Thanks.

“LGF “off-kilter”?

More like a strange fruit combination of neo-nazi and Zionist jihadi nutjobs, with a strong tinge of Stormfront.”

This is outrageous. LGF has led the fight AGAINST neo-nazis and fascists in the “counter-jihad”. Charles Johnson is hated by the sickos at Stormfront. What a completely ignorant thing to say this blog. You clearly have no idea what you’re talking about. I suggest you do some research BEFORE opening your mouth and proving yourself a fool.

(I talked to my sister this morning and her small midwestern city newspaper had an utterly alarmist, non-factual “news story” about this issue on the front page. She was disgusted, in particular by the amateurish and hysterical nature of the story, which even brought “birther” concerns into play as to why it was wrong for the President to speak motivationally to school kids. This is a town in which the Assembly of God has taken over the local schoolboard. The formerly-excellent schools have been run into the ground while these morons debate their ideological hobby-horse issues. If you want a “totalitarian-type” worldview you needn’t look farther than that crowd.)
