Even evil has standards

[sabotabby]

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.

I never made a practice of reading him, though I saw the LGF blog referenced often enough as one of the louder right-wing ones, but one with standards. (By the way, was "little green footballs" a reference to anti-aircraft fire at night? or pills? or what?)

You know what? I think he's being entirely serious. The clue here is that he correctly names SIOE as a fascist site; until now it would have been unthinkable for many on the pseudolibertarian right, or indeed the Eustonite "left", to do so.

Is it a coincidence, too, that well-known British fruitcake and LGF fellow traveller Daniel Hannan actually came out with something vaguely rational and sensible today, regarding the Swiss vote to ban the erection of minarets? I'm referring to the third point that Hannan makes rather than the first two.

I don't even...I have despised him since 2003 and await his inevitable return to wingnuttery. That is all.

Liberals are in tune with reality? :-O

I think simplistic divisions and polarities are preventing people from studying and examining issues closely and understanding nuances.

It's simply the one's who are so incredibly far apart and out there that are sometimes the problem because that few and far between lot of folks get almost all the press.

I know lots of complex people. I'm certain it's a deep seeded consensual distraction.

I've never heard of any of these people, but I probably don't want to know about them by the sound of it! Ugh! It is odd that his list against the U.S. right is blatantly obvious even to me who knows nowt of U.S. politics. Where was his head all those years of not noticing these horrors?
I get the impression that American Left is what I would think of as Right, and American Right as what we would think of as terrifying evil. There must be nice people on the Left who are outcast as Commies there but would be considered pretty conservative over here. People should be banned. I am a totalitarian green anarchist.

I've not been banned from many places, but being banned from LGF during their Iraqi blood soaked wargasm circa 2003 is an honorable thing.

"And much, much more. The American right wing has gone off the rails, into the bushes, and off the cliff.

I won’t be going over the cliff with them."

He left off "anymore".
