Yesterday when we posted about the participation of Pamela Geller (owner of “Atlas Shrugs”) in a German anti-Islam conference organized by a group with extensive ties to neo-Nazis, the latest word was that Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch had not yet confirmed his participation.
(Excerpt) Read more at littlegreenfootballs.com ...
Pam Gellar is Jewish. Why would she participate if neo-Nazis were the organizers?
The definition of Fascist has turned into “Anyone who is not a Stalinist.”
The owner of LGF has gone completely wacko in recent months. He is now an Obamatron, and is particularly ridiculous for seeing fascists under every bed.
Charles Johnson is an assclown. He posts about 3 topics:
1) Creationism
2) Spencer/Gellar
3) Anti-Fox
Drives me insane when he’s called a “conservative” blogger. He’s as far to the left as Daily Kos!
Johnson is a “Politically Correct” Conservative, which means that over time he moves leftward along with the culture (note to people who think it doesn't matter if the culture moves left). The further to the left the culture goes, the more traditional conservatism appears to be “extreme”. Guys like Johnson then try to stay “relevant” by siding with the leftist culture, and they do this by warring (often ferociously) against social conservatives, particularly on cultural issues such as immigration, homosexuality, abortion, etc..
Of course, they insist that they're still conservatives, and offer as “proof” the fact that they want to cut spending, as if spending will ever be cut in a culturally leftist nation.
I don’t think Charles Johnson’s dishonest slanders belong on Free Republic.
The person running Jihad Watch, Robert Spencer, is of the highest integrity.
LGF on the other hand has no integrity whatsoever these days. You might compare the situation to what happened to Andrew Sullivan. Rarely seen a once great site fall into the gutter so fast.
I recommend everyone remove LGF from your bookmarks list.
Removed the LGF bookmark a long time ago.
Why don't you try asking Charles Johnson that?
You'll be banned from LGF so fast it'll make your head spin.
Here’s Robert Spencers response to Jihad Johnson.

Its the most disgusting form of libel to call someone like Pam Gellar a “Neo-Nazi”. A Jew! Calling a Jew who fights Islamic Nazi Propaganda a Neo-Nazi is a sin. This is proof that Jihad Johnson isn’t as pro-Israel as he claims to be.
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
you seem to forget that this is european left wing press. In Europe especially germany and austria every body who dares to speak out against unlimited muslim imigration is called a far right extremist or a nazi in the press.
I don’t think Charles is an Obamatron - yet.
I don’t bother with LGF anymore. I think he’s gone a little off the ranch.
OUTSTANDING posts BUMP! Hooray Robert Spencer!
Tip of the old hat to a rational man. This is a great post -- but I will only give you a taste because I want you to go over there and read it. Stacy McCain, rock on.
This was a Weimar-style failure of leadership. The Republicans in Washington were doing the exact opposite of what the people who had elected them wanted them to do. No surprise, then, that the GOP lost the 2006 mid-terms. And then the Republicans nominated as their 2008 presidential candidate the chief Senate advocate of "shamnesty," who proceeded to demonstrate he was as inept and tone-deaf on economics as he was on immigration
So, here we are in 2009. The Republican Party is now nearly irrelevant in Washington and Obama and the Democrats are gearing up to push their own "shamnesty." And what's Charles Johnson doing? Is LGF rallying conservatives to oppose the Obama/Pelosi/Reid agenda?
No. Pamela Geller is doing that. Every freaking day. And also getting smeared by LGF every freaking day. The result? She's doubled her traffic in the past year.
Given the threat we face here in America, I'm willing to let the Germans evaluate how much of a fascist threat Rouhs and Reitz pose to Germany, and I'm willing to let Pamela Geller decide which conferences she does and does not attend.
And just for the record, nazis do not hang out with Jews, even pretty ones. Ever.
Johnson: To Johnson or not to Johnson is never the question
KGS has a whole lot more.
UPDATE: American Power has a powerful post.
(...as The Educated Shoprat notes at this post "He's done an Andrew Sullivan. No other way to put it.")

"Until the last few weeks, I was a devout LGF reader. But something has happened over there since Obama was elected and it has become a joke of a blog. All of the creationism BS and denial of facts about the DHS report has been the last straw. Those people over at LGF are a bunch of clueless sheeple."
Read the whole thing, great piece that summarizes things nicely. Here are a couple more for anybody who hasn't read them:

Charles Johnson is a liberal bigot who despises the religious (Christian, Jewish and Muslim) and who calls anyone to his right “fascist”.
Johnson was never a conservative. Rather he is a libertine man of the left who consistently hates Islam as much as Christianity and Judaism.
The owner of LGF has gone completely wacko in recent months. He is now an Obamatron, and is particularly ridiculous for seeing fascists under every bed.
I wonder if Johnson buckled to financial and/or Google pressures of banning, etc. Which makes him a creepy sell out rather than a schizo idealogue.
Atlas/Gellar has had a heap of trouble with Google and bans of her site. She’s stayed tough though.
Good points.
You’re probably right. His behavior is increasingly nonsensical.
That's not true. But I agree with the rest of your post. :)
It's been photo-shopped as is obvious by the shoulder chomp on one of the guys. The so-called Nazi's behind them are Antifa (anti-fascists) who hate both men in the photo!
Charles Johnson's comment regarding this? (under classic misdirection thread)

re: #1 rightside
In my opinion the lower photo is the original. It appears they were inserted into the top photo, as evidenced by the lighting on them not matching the background.
my 2 cents.
Maybe, but it doesn't matter.
