Never trust an avid bicyclist...
This is sad.
LGF was one of my favs for a while.
Either that or a liberal chick got to him.
In the end Charles began to believe his own clippings. He became too self-important and stopped allowing anyone to disagree with him on his site.
Maybe he can make it as a cycling blogger. :)
LGF has become cult, with a group of sycophantic posters who provide the cult leader with unending agreement and unending praise. Only the slightest deviation from the accepted cult beliefs is tolerated, and the axe can fall quickly on any who express disagreement. Their little + and - feature where one can approve or disapprove of any comment posted reminds me of the old thumbs up and thumbs down at the Roman Coliseum events, or sort of a different twist on the blackballing rituals used by other narrow, insular groups.
I was one of the earliest readers in early 2002, and a fairly frequent poster until about three years ago when the purges began for various reasons. Still registered, but just gradually drifted away as the site began it’s transition to what it has now become.
Goodbye and who cares. Stupid name anyway...LGF’s. Sounds dopey as a liberal anyway.
This guy was ALWAYS a leftist. He got caught up in the fashionable post-9/11 fear/war-mongering generally associated with the GOP. He was all about the War on Terror, and everything else failed to even merit second-issue status.
Finally, after almost of a decade of riding the WoT issue astride a similarly obsessed GOP, a political shifting of the winds back toward domestic issues merely revealed the fundamental dissimilarity between the neoconservative philosophy (an outgrowth of socialist thought with explicit nationalistic and militaristic elements) LGF embodied and the conservative-classical liberal synthesis.

MAY THEY REST IN PISS
Waste of bandwidth.
I found it hard to believe when he banned Zombie from LGF. Zombie was one of the driving forces when that site was still legit.
Hugh Hewitt has gotta be crappin’ his pampers!
I remember when Pam Geller was CELEBRATED on LGF, the time she posed for a photo with Cindy MeSham and was giving her the finger. LGF was where I first saw that story. Now, Pam Geller is an unspeakable bigot or something.
And, I myself may differ in view at times with Rush, but using him as a target is way too convenient and I will defend him against those who demonize him.
