I know that site went off the deep end. Glad to know we had a hand in it.

Is that round-heeled rino still sleeping with Andrew Sullivan?

I bookmarked LGF right after 9/11 when they were producing some excellent commentary about the terrorist attacks.

For a while, I’d check in there about once a week, but in time I stopped in less and less. In time, I rarely visited. Some time this year I began to see tidbits about Charles going off the deep end, so I took a look and couldn’t believe it was the same place.

My first tip-off should have been the name of the site. Only a stoned liberal would choose such a name for their website.

It’s amazing what happens to your brain when you take copious amounts of illegal drugs.

yeah LGF went off the deep end. Conservatism today took it off its list of blogs. Site abandoned conservative prinicpals as well.

I read LGF last year when I was sent links because it was posting various stuff in the obama website.

ALMOST universally dominated???

Awright. Who's diluting the FR gene pool?

So he has suddenly adopted all of those positions? Each one is 180 degrees out of phase with what used to appear on that site.

“Climate Change denialism [sic]” - This has to be a joke.

The misspelling, bad grammar, and total lack of reasoning (i.e. attempting to support each point with an ad hominem attack) would indicate that is not the same writer.

LGF ceased being a reputable blog site a long time ago- they are made up of nothing but the same old tired out irrelevent whiners that infest most liberal blogs like Darwin Central or Huffington Post-

Why he ‘left the right’? When was he EVER part of the right? Just like the climategate scandal- He’s tryign to dazzle everyone with BS hoping they won’t notice that he’s been far left all this time- Nice try at a cover-up- but liek the climategate scandal, LGF’s reputation was sullied long before the ‘confessions’ and anyone with an iota of commo nsense saw right htrough their Schtick!

Looks like he has created a DU view of anyone who isn’t as “moderate” as he is.

Well, I knew that LGF had gone off the rails, but I never realized how thoroughly.

There was a time when they did a lot of really good stuff.

Was he bought off? Hoping to be bought off? Hoping to get more hits? It beats me. I don’t see how anyone could POSSIBLY change so completely in a fairly short time, and for no good reason.

Is he Jewish? There seem to be a number of Jewish links and references. But I don’t see how someone who seemed to have a lot of common sense could turn into a left-wing, self-hating Jew just like that.

Once again, "hate" is defined as "anyone who has an opinion different from mine". Very pre-kindergarten, very liberal. Only on the left are stomping one's feet and incessant whining considered debating tactics.

A bit of hyperbole by Charles. Sorry to see it and I feel it is rather selective of him. Surely he could qualify his statements by using the English language. For example "some of" and "certain of" and so on. Blanket condemnations show a sort of intolerance.

Meanwhile, I will glance out at my just installed Christmas lights on the modest lawn up here in Northern Ontario. I see the first gentle reminder of a very late coming winter. A sprinkling of the first snow. I compliment my liberal spouse and pet my dog.

I am a Freeper of over ten years, Charles old boy!.

“Raging Hate Speech” = anything that doesn’t end in “and in Obama we trust our soul, for AlGorian mild temperatures we pray, that we shall see the everlasting hand of government grow heavy on our rich neighbor’s back, and the Wise Latina shall release the poor psychopath to perform more acts of Twin Towers urban renewal . . . “

Who told him that he was on the political Right to begin with? Considering the smears that he used against us (notice also that he used Pat Buchanan’s name more than once), he was either a Neocon or a Lefty all along.

Has he apologized yet for his role in spotlighting Buckhead's analysis of the Rathergate forged Bush memos? That's when LGF shot to prominence on the Right.

He sounds like he hates Sarah Palin a lot more than we hate Obama.

He seems to really hate Michelle Bachmann. He must have a problem with strong women :-)

Or maybe just women in general.

So the jerk went over and joined the Trig Palin bashers. I guess we shouldn’t be surprised. It’s what jerks do.
