Not worth the effort. Got a second email confirming the C.J’s smears on Ann Coulter and Robert Spencer.

I have to say that I have noticed a change in lgf recently.

For a while there has been a mocking of Intelligent Design, and now we do have an attack on Ann Coulter.

Charles has a history of outstanding contributions to conservative ideals and I am inclined to take a more wait and see attitude. I am less offended than bored by the anti ID stuff over there, and I find myself going to his blog less frequently.

ElKafir’s post was not one of the high points of civility on the internet — could there be something going on behind he scenes?

“I know! He cleverly hid his post in the BLOGGERS AND PERSONAL section—who would dream for looking for a blog post there?

What would we do without your unparalleled powers of observation? “

Heh! :)

WOW! Thanks for posting that. I was an LGF regular and I read some of Charles older hit pieces on the Gates of Vienna; but somehow his more recent smear jobs on Robert Spencer escaped me. Thanks again for posting the link.

I, too, have noticed a shift at LGF over the last few months. They seem to be running articles equally on anti-jihad and anti-ID (creationism) each and every day. Thought that was a little strange. I even found it rather revealing that their anti-ID articles sounded more intolerant and more strident than the jihadist views they had been successfully countering. The jihadists fear the concept of intellectual freedom with energy and hatred. LGF fears the concept of intellectual freedom with just as much energy and hatred when it comes to alternative views that they hold dear. They shed the light of intolerance on the Islamists, yet darken this very light when it comes to their own intolerance of a philosophy other than theirs.

Strange indeed! I have found myself going less and less to LGF simply because evolution has lost any meaning for me years ago. It has nothing to do with my daily life and carries no interest intellectually or any other way. Figured out over 40 years ago that the reason people carry the evolutionary mantra high is because they fear what they would have to do if they carried no such mantra. Their choice. I simply look the other way.

No idea but I’ll let you figure out what to do with your life.

LGF has always been a bit of a one trick pony, though a good one I’ll admit. But with the Iraq war as good as won, Mr Johnson is simply realizing that he needs a new trick (or a new pony........)

I stopped going to LGF's when he became obsessed with the whole evolution/intelligent design thing.

Fine, you don't believe in intelligent design -- I get it, now, can we read about something else.

I waited and waited for him to get over it, but he never did and I stopped going to his site. Seems like it is more than intelligent design, but may be a anti-Christian problem that he has. Ah, well.

Buffy is also one of the only shows to routinely make reference to a person's soul. Vampires are evil, because they do not have a soul.

The other thing about Buffy is that when someone on the show does something wrong or behaves badly, there is usually payback.

[ElKafir]

We all know of self-hating Jews, the kind of Jews you see at anti-Israel hate fest rallies put up by Hamas/Palestinian supporters all over the world. I am starting to wonder if Charles isn’t something similar: a self-hating Christian. Who knows, maybe one of these days we will see him in attendance of one of those rallies holding a sign with “Christianity Go To Hell”

Bingo.

Besides his anti-jihad efforts, Charles has got two things right: staying away from white supremacist groups and defending evolution.

There are European anti-jihadists that are willing to join with racist groups. It’s a big mistake that will discredit them.

And too many on the right are obsessed with opposing evolution. You see such posts on FR almost hourly. Being anti-science also makes the right look bad. (Please don’t tell me that evolution is religion and ID is science. It’s not. Saying it over and over doesn’t make it so.)

I read LGF daily and will continue to.

Charles Johnson and Roger Simon are lying, cheating, money-grubbing thieves.

They scammed another blogger when they started the whole Pajamas Media stuff. He helped them start the company and then they blew him off.

Dennis the Peasant was the blogger.

One thing I didn't like is they made Buffy's kinky sex a bad thing. Like something to be ashamed of.

[RichInOC]

Buffy had kinky sex?
