I recently did some posts noting a developing split in the Democratic party ranks -- a split likely to be greatly accentuated if, as expected, President Barack Obama announces hefty troop increases for a surge-but-we-won't-call-it-that in Afghanistan. But there signs of cracks in the GOP's wall as well -- and here's one of them:
Little Green Footballs, long considered one of the conservative mega-sites in terms of its big readership, has a post "Why I Parted Ways With The Right." It's in the form of a list which you can read in full here....
(Excerpt) Read more at themoderatevoice.com ...
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.)2. Support for bigotry, hatred, and white supremacism (see: Pat Buchanan, Ann Coulter, Robert Stacy McCain, Lew Rockwell, etc.)
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.)
4. Support for anti-science bad craziness (see: creationism, climate change denialism, Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann, James Inhofe, etc.)
5. Support for homophobic bigotry (see: Sarah Palin, Dobson, the entire religious right, etc.)
6. Support for anti-government lunacy (see: tea parties, militias, Fox News, Glenn Beck, etc.)
7. Support for conspiracy theories and hate speech (see: Alex Jones, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Birthers, creationists, climate deniers, etc.)
8. A right-wing blogosphere that is almost universally dominated by raging hate speech (see: Hot Air, Free Republic, Ace of Spades, etc.)
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.)
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)

sooooooooooo LGF supports the GW/CC FRAUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What is a Little Green Footballs - something Nerf came out with?
REALLY?! Has the writer ever been to DU? Is THAT not hate speech? How many posts on Free Republic contain vulgarity?
Assimilated.
Mental note: Must get the recipe for that kool-aid. Must be some powerful stuff.

Only a wild eyed left of Pelosi would consider it to be conservative.
The list of 10 certainly proves that for it is a list of accusations and not a list of facts.
So... is this clown now for massive federal government control?
What utter bullshit. This is a list from an America-hating far-left shill, containing every lie told about the Right by the Rancid Media.
Yeah. LGF was a decent site for a while, then suddenly it went around the bend.
Turns out he is an Obamabot.
Especially the part about global warming deniers.
These are the only reasons he could come up with to explain why he parted ways with the right? What possible problem could he have with the items on this list? /s
Liberals are hopelessly and irreversibly insane...
Maybe he should just leave the planet.
