Even evil has standards

Wow, check it out! Former "center-left" cyclist turned warmongering fascist Charles Johnson has turned again. Colour me skeptical (like someone pointed out on fengi's LJ, it'll take one more terrorist attack to turn him back, but it's almost heartening to read.

I wonder if he'll apologize for his blog being a gathering place for genocidal maniacs for the last eight years.

If he's serious, though: Welcome back to the reality-based community.

Well, for me, it's not his being a wingnut that leads me to believe that he's incapable of changing to a more rational, less genocide-supporting political stance. It's just that he's done this before; though I would like this change to be permanent.

"Conversely, he was a very entertaining wingnut at some point who could easily be used to demonstrate the logical conclusion of wingnut politics. Still, plenty more where that came from."

IA. One of my favorite instances of his, erm, wingnuttery was the infamous Michelle Obama "Whitey" speech non-controversy. Good for lols

Well my memory is shit. The whitey tape claim originated from Larry Johnson of No Quarter USA. And using Mr. Google, I see that Charles Johnson's change has been in progress over years w/ his wingnuttery interspersed with reason and some semblance of self-reflection.
