Glenn Beck Lays the Ever Living Smackdown on Charles Johnson and Little Green Footballs
The Big Feed ^ | April 16, 2009 | Captain Thurston

Posted on 04/16/2009 6:58:46 PM PDT by The Big Feed

Charles Johnson, jazz musician and software programmer runs a blog, Little Green Footballs. It's a very successful blog. It is considered by most a "conservative" blog. I consider it more of a den of Zionism, which, although that may make it "conservative", it doesn't make it American conservative. It is, quite frankly, amongst the most overrated conservative blogs on the web with a freakishly cliquish and intolerant following. You know the type. Well, apparently, Chucky Johnson has a beef with Glenn Beck. And apparently, Chucky thought he couldn't get got. Well...He got got.

The beatdown starts at about 7 minutes in.

I thought something ws up with LGF.

I am very pro-Israel but their attacks on Beck and Fox News has gotten way way over the top.

I too am Pro-Israel. For reasons that are well-founded. But in my opinion, Johnson and his cabal’s opinions are far too often clouded by their Zionism. He should have just owned up to the error.

Yeah. I used to read it with some regularity. But, he's on this anti-creationist binge - every day. I'm more of an evolution guy, but I don't think it does anyone any good to pick fights with the creationist EVERY single day - boring.

He's also anti-FNC, anti-Tea party anti-everything else traditionally conservative.

I used to check LGF fairly regularly, but over time got turned off by the constant negativity. I have Glenn Beck’s show DVRed so I’ll watch it on my big TV later instead of on my small monitor now. Thanks for the heads-up.

Used to be a proud lizard. Now, not so much. Made the mistake of pointing out some of the stuff about zero's COLB. Got hammered as a “birther.” Admittedly then melted down at the sheer stupidity of their “arguments” — even to the point where I wasn't being too coherent myself. Haven't been back but a couple times since then.

In short, an intolerant click of arrogant jerks has taken over that site, apparently with Chuckie’s approval. So they can fade into obscurity, which they will...

Rathergate made LGF and has long since worn off.

LGF is proof that it takes more than want to capture lightening in a bottle

I have not read LGF for a year or so. Sounds like I’m not missing much.

The mask has come off of Charles.

“Update: (Perhaps a coincidence or mistake, but for some reason my account at Little Green Footballs is suddenly blocked. How odd. Surely it was just a fluke; a mistake of some kind. Maybe I should have took sides?)”

LGF is just an echo chamber of sycophants.

I would have to agree that LGF has become an echo chamber. I would check for the latest bit of news about WOT or other important points. Nevertheless, a funny thing happened in the last day, I had my account blocked. All because I used the little red minus sign on some of the posts. I did not argue or complain, I just used a tool that apparently should not have. However, the over the top evolution push as well as Charles’ dismissal of anyone that is vaguely religious is just too much.

Funny you should mention that. I got banned about a year ago for asking why he was banning people for using a system that it was designed for...and for that, I was banned. Some of his flunkies also made fun of my military service in the Marines. Keep in mind that although I am a Christian, I never once discussed my faith, or evolution, or creation while I was there.

I was one small part of the great purge that happened at that time, and it's no small coincidence that some of the people that were banned here, turned up over there.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Charles Johnson can go f&ck himself
