Charles Johnson Implodes LGF NYT RACE DETECTIVE

NEW YORK TIMES: CHARLES JOHNSON’S BLOG READS AT TIMES LIKE ORWELL’S ANIMAL FARM…….

Vasarahammer nails it:
King Charles’s methods have been exposed in NYT.”

That is what LGF will be remembered for, not Rather-Gate. KGS

NYT: “I was such a small fish at the time,” Geller said. “I realized I was basically committing blog suicide by going against him. But he was wrong.” When one of Johnson’s posts about the conference was picked up and incorporated in a press release by the conservative bête noire Council on American-Islamic Relations, Geller called him out on Atlas Shrugs; he responded with a series of posts about her, the most memorable of which was titled, “Pamela Geller: Poster Girl for Eurofascism.” (Not that Geller herself, who posted a Photoshopped picture of Johnson in Joker makeup, was exactly on the high road.) Traffic at her site, she says, went down about 75 percent. “He really did put a knife in the trans-Atlantic counterjihad movement, for a long time. People were running for cover. Nobody wanted to go against him then. He was the king.”

Johnson broke off relations with blogs that claimed openly to owe their own existence to him. He called the syndicated columnist Diana West and the investigative reporter Richard Miniter fascist sympathizers. He threatened to take down Michelle Malkin. In some ways, it was an exploration of the limits of his own influence: all over the blogosphere, you were either with him or with the fascists.
“Still, if you read L.G.F. today, you will find it hard to miss the paradox that a site whose origins, and whose greatest crisis, were rooted in opposition to totalitarianism now reads at times like a blog version of “Animal Farm.” Johnson seems obsessed with what others think of him, posting much more often than he used to about references to himself elsewhere on the Internet and breaking into comment threads (a recent one was about the relative merits of top- versus front-loaded washing machines) to call commenters’ attention to yet another attack on him that was posted at some other site.”
IN THE LAST DAY of November, Johnson delivered the final blow to his old alliances. In a post that he said took him about three minutes to write, he listed 10 reasons “Why I Parted Ways With the Right.” The “reasons” themselves amounted to little more than laundry lists: “Support for conspiracy theories and hate speech (see: Alex Jones, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Birthers, creationists, climate deniers, etc.),” for instance.
So long Race Detective!

NOTE: Filip DeWinter did in fact speak at the 2007 Counter-Jihad conference in Brussels. Also, Filip DeWinter and the Vlaams Belang are anti-Fascist, pro-democracy and respect the rights of the individual. Their only crime is wanting to retain their ethnic Flemish heritage and not be forced to turn over their hard earned tax money to support the Walloon socialist agenda and their own Islamization.
The Counter-Jihad is proud to have the VB as members in the movement to thwart the islamization of the European continent. KGS
