Why I Parted Ways With The Right(LGF Blames Free Republic)

(Reason #)8. A right-wing blogosphere that is almost universally dominated by raging hate speech (see: Hot Air, Free Republic, Ace of Spades, etc.)

[Cicero]

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.

[Wally_Kalbacken]

Say bye!

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 . . . “

[MetaThought]

I’ve heard it’s code for boogers.

[ChrisInAR]

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.

[Political Junkie Too]

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.

Tsk, such language.
See ya Charlie. Don’t let the door hit you in the behind, RINO.

[Zionist Conspirator]

7. Support for conspiracy theories and hate speech (see: Alex Jones, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Birthers, creationists, climate deniers, etc.)

Creationism is "hate speech?" I guess that's because only white people believe in it. Yesiree, I'm absolutely positive that every COGIC church in the Mississippi Delta is full of nothing but profound left-wing intellectuals who have seminars on evolution and the dialectic every sunday morning!

9. Anti-Islamic bigotry that goes far beyond simply criticizing radical Islam, into support for fascism, violence, and genocide (see: Pamela Geller, Robert Spencer, etc.)

So I assume then that he has given special permission to islamic creationists because of their "otherness." Either that or he's too stupid to realize that there are islamic creationists too.

I don't know much about LGF except that its pro-Israel position was never religiously based. Another "Israel is an outpost of glorious western decadence in a repressive Arab culture" type person.

[higgmeister]

He’ll get no hit from me!

little green WHAT (/sarc)

[dirtboy]

1. Support for fascists, both in America (see: Pat Buchanan, Robert Stacy McCain, etc.) and in Europe (see: Vlaams Belang, BNP, SIOE, Pat Buchanan, etc.)

Funny, fascist proponents get booted off FR.

2. Support for bigotry, hatred, and white supremacism (see: Pat Buchanan, Ann Coulter, Robert Stacy McCain, Lew Rockwell, etc.)

Actual racists get booted off FR as well. Nice race card there, CJ.

3. Support for throwing women back into the Dark Ages, and general religious fanaticism (see: Operation Rescue, anti-abortion groups, James Dobson, Pat Robertson, Tony Perkins, the entire religious right, etc.)

So CJ is pro-abort.

4. Support for anti-science bad craziness (see: creationism, climate change denialism, Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann, James Inhofe, etc.)

And CJ is pro-AGW.

5. Support for homophobic bigotry (see: Sarah Palin, Dobson, the entire religious right, etc.)

And CJ is pro-gay marriage.

6. Support for anti-government lunacy (see: tea parties, militias, Fox News, Glenn Beck, etc.)

And CJ is pro big-government.

7. Support for conspiracy theories and hate speech (see: Alex Jones, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Birthers, creationists, climate deniers, etc.)

So to CJ dissenting viewpoints are hate speech.

8. A right-wing blogosphere that is almost universally dominated by raging hate speech (see: Hot Air, Free Republic, Ace of Spades, etc.)

See #7

9. Anti-Islamic bigotry that goes far beyond simply criticizing radical Islam, into support for fascism, violence, and genocide (see: Pamela Geller, Robert Spencer, etc.)

So CJ is pro-terrorist.

10. Hatred for President Obama that goes far beyond simply criticizing his policies, into racism, hate speech, and bizarre conspiracy theories (see: witch doctor pictures, tea parties, Birthers, Michelle Malkin, Fox News, World Net Daily, Newsmax, and every other right wing source)

And CJ calls Obama critics haters. So, let's add it up. Race-card playing. Pro-abort. Pro-AGW. Pro-gay. Pro-big government. Pro-hate crimes. Pro-terrorist.

Last I checked, such viewpoints made you a Democrat or at least a stinkin' RINO.

So the issue is not that CJ claims to have parted ways with the right, but instead, how long he acted like a blood-sucking parasite on the right wing while actually holding so many liberal viewpoints.

[Slings and Arrows]

Yeah, you’ve gotta watch out for those Methodists. Turn your back and they’ll burn a potluck supper on your lawn.

[Tribune7]

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.

[Slings and Arrows]

Oh yuck.

[Candor7]

I hope what is said here does offend the left. I want them to leave.Long gone are the days when I have any motivation to convince a lingering leftist on Free Republic that he needs to “see things through conservative eyes” and be “born again.”

The progressives and neo conservatives have bent over for these lefty prigs and look where it got them!

No compromise, no surrender. LGF is now a morass of anti American rhetoric, and destructive of civil society.Watch him try to skulk back when the tide turns. LOL. Effing hyena.

Your post is absolutely true.And a lot of information gets exchanged here as well which is highly accurate. The left can’t stand our standing in the way of lefty propaganda that they spout in unthinking talking points.He was under too much pressure form his fellow lefty media dogz.He broke like a twig.

>3. Support for throwing women back into the Dark Ages, and general religious fanaticism (see: Operation Rescue, anti-abortion groups [snip])

How is “Operation Rescue” throwing women back into the dark ages? How is being anti-abortion, which you really have to be if you believe in a) the sanctity of human life, and b) that life begins at conception... actually you don’t have to believe ‘b’ in order to be anti-abortion... I was born 11 weeks premature, which means if you’re using the “viable embryo” argument ANY third trimester abortion is murder.

[FlingWingFlyer]

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