#1 Hard to decide whether to laugh, or cry. Laugh, because CJ has become a parody of the very moonbats he once despised; cry, because at one time the guy really did do some good work.

A mind is a terrible thing to lose.

#2 Little Green Footballs - Why I Parted Ways With The Right

At least, now it's official, and in his own words.

#3 A real shame, after 9/11 Charles Johnson's LGF and Steven DenBeste's blog helped me get through the day. DenBeste gave up political blogging and Johnson's gone over to the moonbat side.

#5 Only perused LGF once or twice.
Thought it was too emotional.
(If you want to properly revenge or respond to an attack(s) it's a good idea to leave emotion at the entryway)

#6 My theory is that Charles - a respected session musician who's appeared on a number of jazz albums - was losing recording work as a result of his post-9/11 political stances. To restore his employability, he decided to follow Arianna Huffington's and David Brock's examples by publicly donning the sackcloth and ashes of the Fashionable Left.

#7 I have wondered about LGF as well. Stopped reading it and went back a few times now.

I think I won't go back anymore. Anyone who doesn't agree 100% with CJ's Global Warming ideas is trollrated into oblivion.

I'm glad that Rantburg hasn't changed. I'll stick around here.

I have many questions about Climate Change. I'm neither a denier nor a follower. What I note are serious inconsistencies with the theory and a lot of fanatism to defend it and stifle dissent.

There is no debate anymore. Reminds me of Commie times when they sent dissenting scientists into psychiatric hospitals.

Scientists are getting scared when they disagree with the "consensus".

#8 Wow, that's as blatant as it gets. Makes "lying like a rug" look respectable. He has an extraordinarily low opinion of his reader's intelligence to think they don't see through his dishonesty. They do, don't they? Heaven help us, it's probably the same guys who thought Palin would make a fine VP for Obama.

Isn't it time to remove him from the blogroll and stop stinking up the place?
