A New Low… Charles Johnson Now Supporting Child Porn in Classrooms & Fisting Kits at School Functions
Posted by Jim Hoft on Saturday, January 2, 2010, 10:41 AM
Sick. Charles Johnson at Little Green Footballs reached a new low yesterday.
Johnson attacked this blog for reporting again on Barack Obama’s safe schools czar. According to Charles, if you point out anything about Barack Obama’s “Safe” Schools Czar Kevin Jennings’ sordid record of promoting explicit, outrageously age-inappropriate sexual filth in the classroom you are a “homophobe.” He must have started reading the Soros-linked Media Matters since he flipped.
For the record, Obama’s “safe” schools czar has been pushing porn books into our children’s classrooms for nearly twenty years. His GLSEN organization’s recommended books include stories of first graders having orgies in the bathroom and teenagers being raped. The children’s books he promoted have pictures of men having sex while boy scouts watch. GLSEN’s recommended reading for teens also includes pamphlets promoting leather bars and public sex in parks. His organization that he founded in the ’90’s and led until 2008 still pushes these books and several other child porn books on 7th through 12th grade students. The safe schools czar organization GLSEN held conferences where they lectured on fisting to children and handed out fisting packs to children.
According to Charles Johnson if you disagree with this radical sexual agenda for young teens you are a homophobe. He must have missed my links to Gay Patriot who also denounced Jennings’ radical agenda. Are they homophobes too?
Shame on you Charles Johnson.
Yesterday, I reported here that a Bulgarian website had enough courage to report on the Jenning’s scandal, one of the most underreported stories of 2009. This infuriated Charles Johnson who labeled the Bulgarian website a conspiracy website for its previous reporting. Like many leftists Charles believes that by labeling websites (even when the facts don’t back him up) you neuter their arguments. Of course, this is not true. Leftists like Charles believe if you can’t win an argument then smear the source instead.
More importantly, Charles Johnson refused to denounce Kevin Jennings’ radical agenda. Apparently, Johnson approves of lecturing students on fisting, asking them about “spitting or swallowing“, handing out leather bar guides to teens, and pushing filthy books about first graders having orgies at school, etc.
Shame on you, Charles Johnson.
UPDATE: Charles Johnson is now threatening me for posting this about his defense of Kevin Jennings and Jennings’ agenda. Until Charles denounces this agenda this post stands. And, I advise Johnson to quit slandering and threatening this blog and this website.
UPDATE 2: Tom Stelane adds:
I just commented on LGF, asking Charles or anyone else there to go a little more in-depth in disagreeing with GP other than by asserting that ‘you’re bad’ – you know, like maybe dealing with the actual facts surrounding Jennings instead of making sweeping general assertions. I was polite and stayed on topic even though the LGFers couldn’t refrain from getting in digs at me. I only asked, did Jennings do or not do these things in question? I did not violate his comment policy but Charles promptly deleted my comments, banned me, and commented that I am a ‘moron.’
Court adjourned.
UPDATE 3: Brian added this:
Hey Jim,
I’m not sure how much you know about the law, but as an attorney, I can tell you that Charles has about as good a chance of suing you as I do of dating Pamela Anderson.
There is a Supreme Court precedent, NY-Times v. Sullivan that establishes that for public figures (which Charles would be considered) something called an “actual malice” standard has to be met; Charles would have to prove that, not only was your blog false, malicious, and damaging to him, but that YOU WERE PERSONALLY AWARE that it was completely false, malicious, and damaging to him.
Whether defending Kevin Jennings means supporting what that pervert did is a matter open to interpretation. There is no way in HELL that a public figure could sue someone over that posting. Absolutely zero percent chance. Charles would have to prove that you were personally aware that your headline was false and malicious; even if objectively your headline/posting was false, if you could show that you had ANY REASON to believe that it was true, then he has no grounds.
There are HUGE First Amendment concerns that happen when a public figure sues for libel, although I have no doubt that doofus who deletes dissenting accounts from his blog understands that.
UPDATE 4: Even RS McCain tweeted on the latest Johnsonoia.
UPDATE 5: Jihad Watch has more on the libel king.

Watching him fall off the deep end used to be funny and fun to watch. Now it’s getting creepy. Let’s hope he just wrote the post to increase page hits via shock. It would be sad to find out that he truly believes that children should be taught how to put there fists in other people’s rumps when they are so young (or ever, for that matter).

Hmmm, a 50 something dude supporting a NAMBLA supporter… Not exactly the sort of person I would be associated with.

Yes, Jim, he HAS started reading Media Matters! On December 12, 2009, he posted an article about you and Fistgate and then used Media Matters to back up his delusion:

Just thought you might like to know that you are indeed correct in your conjecture.

Jesusland commented:
Please don’t link to LGF. Mention him without linking him. He just craves the traffic.
Auntie Em commented:
I always thought “Little Green Footballs” was a very gay-sounding name. Didn’t know that Johnson was into Nambla and fisting for children. I don’t understand how people can live with themselves knowing their internal character is so gangrenous.
reitre05 commented:
It would seem now that CJ’s 15 minutes of fame have expired, it has become his position to attack other bloggers. In the last few days, he decided to go after Patterico, now GP. I guess he doesn’t have anything better to do with his time (perhaps he could do personal research on fisting) but my guess is he is simply trying to create traffic for his dying blog.
I long ago deleted his blog from my “favorites” as he seemed to be jumping the shark with more regularity.
Don’t be fooled. CJ was never a conservative. He just happened to luck onto a piece of information that proved the military documents on Bush were phonies. But he didn’t have any problem claiming credit for the find. That in itself shows what a low life he is. He never gave credit to the person that did prove the documents were phony.
Don’t give him the traffic by linking to his site and GP shouldn’t either.
USCitizen commented:
Charles Johnson? Never heard of him.

Too bad Charles Johnson took a hard left turn and drank the Kool aid. He did some great work on the images photoshopped by the MSM during the Israeli invasion of Lebanon. I wondered why he banned me. Now I know.

Valerie commented:
I used to enjoy LGF. Haven’t been there in a long time.
Kendra commented:
Just proves Charles really is the nut he plays online. Anyone who would support Kevin Johnson and his disgusting literature for children is a few crayons short of a full box. Wanting to keep such information away from young children too young to truly process any of it is in no way the “homophobia” Charles would love for it to be.
Dell commented:
There was little or no money – so it seems – in his former life, but now he has new inspiration from George “Shwartz” Soros, so life is good.
I give him another month or so and then they can turn out the lights, the party’s over. The same goes for Kevin Jennings.

JamesDoulos commented:
I have a favor to ask, OK?
First, I am very thankful Jim that you’ve brought your blog over to First Things: it’s a great neighborhood. Next, I have no problem with your posting about Charles Johnson @ LGF. The man has become a flaming liberal progressive and soon I expect him to start denigrating Israel and supporting Hamas or Hezbollah. Why not, since he’s now attacking everything else he once supported?
The favor is this – perhaps you could not post links to his sack-o-snot sinkhole of a blog? My thoughts are that it’s just a way for him to increase his traffic and revenue. As you look at his pages, there’s PayPal buttons everywhere – with links to several ‘Partners’ in the left hand margin. Why send him business?

So using Chaz’s six-degrees-of-seperation rule in smearing conservatives with racism and white supremacy, doesn’t this also also make him a pedophile by default?

He becomes enraged when anyone criticizes him and doesn’t link to LGF. He’s desperate for the traffic.

This is sick! I have been to LGF website one time. I didn’t like it and haven’t been back since. I have enjoyed the Gateway Pundit. Keep the good work.
Whippet commented:
Reliapundit,
Conservatives have spent far to long ignoring or at a minimum failing to address the liberal decay in our school systems, courts, government, etc……
Failing to address the Charles Johnson’s and Andrew Sullivan’s allows them to prosper with no challenge to their twisted views of the world. It can no longer be avoided and it shouldn’t be.
So it increases their traffic…so what? Most people will be disgusted by them and those who aren’t will have found a new home to spout their vicious smears which can be further exposed by those like GP willing to do the hard work.
CJ is no different that most liberals who will sell their soul for a buck, a vote or in his case, traffic. Exposing them is a necessesity.

Chuckles would undoubtedly try to sanitize his own comments and posts if he was actually serious about suing anyone… his behavior – notably the part where he throws around “wingnut” and other insults at an average of 2 – 4 per post / comment and how he treats people who disagree with him would make any legal claims on his part rather hilarious.

kranky commented:
Ignore Charles. He is simply trying to manufacture controversy where none exists, in order to get more traffic flowing.
You see, when you start rabid attacks on your readership, start attacking your compatriots, banning your readers … well, this can’t end any way but badly for your traffic numbers. And, since you run a traffic and advertisement supported site, this … mental event … is bound to significantly negatively impact your income.
So the only way you get readers is to create controversy.
Which is what he is doing.
Ignore him. Don’t link to him.
If he threatens legal action, ask Robert Spencer about the limits of culpable liability. Put another words, Charles ought to be very careful who he attacks, lest he open the floodgates to response. Calling Pam Geller a shill harpy … how is this not libelous?
Charles is in a world of hurt right now. Created by his own actions against those who used to read his site and support his efforts.
It is a sad state of affairs. Charles has become the poster child for online meltdowns. Mourn the loss, but don’t link to his particular goofiness.
jainphx commented:
This ( Charles Johnson ) is one of the sorriest examples of a slow descent into insanity. No one can turn 180 deg. in their thinking as suddenly and stunningly as he has.
Whippet commented:
CJ is just consumed with hatred and ignorance and a heavy dose of hypocrisy…claiming GP libeled him by calling him some name while he calls GP names in the process. It’s the liberal way…one set of rules for them and another set for everyone else.
I wonder if the panic occuring on the left will finally fully expose to those voting blocks they have counted on for so long how used those voters have been. It will be difficult (but they will still do it) to charge minority groups with racism when they turn on their minority President.
Whippet commented:
I last heard the unemplyment rate for blacks and 18-25 year olds was somewhere around 25%. Hispanics at around 30%. The Democrat’s biggest voting blocks.
Wake up Democrat voters…you’ve been used again.

This link will give you a ballpark idea of when the bottom collapsed for Chuckles. It was right around the last election. He’s recovered somewhat lately, probably with a new batch of followers, but not quite where he was previously.

JDubya commented:
I truly believe that Charletan Johnson has completely lost his mind through some sort of Mercury poisoning or lead paint consumption. The fact that his parity accelerates at an exponential rate towards the farout left side is completely mind boggling. Pretty soon, Charletan is going to morph sort of bumper sticker catch phrase or a tramp stamp.
Amazing about the human brain.
A mind is a terrible thing to waste.
JB commented:
As the LGF site continued slipping further down as a kook website I visited the site less and less.Now i do not visit the site at all not even to check out the linked news. Why support a page hit for the obvious weirdo. Let him compete with his buddies of Kos and moveon. I surely have moved on from his site.
CapCube commented:
how long does it take to get comments to post ?
RubyTuesday commented:
In order to defend his knee-jerk support of anything left-wing, Teeny Johnson has found himself in the position of defending all the vile, sickening, perverted tenets attached to it. He can’t be wrong, ya know, so he’ll go mad(der) twisting wrong into his definition of “right.” He’s about to cross the line from laughable to criminal.
CapCube commented:
Well, my first attempt didn’t work; so here’s the brief 2nd try:
Me Too. Ex-LGF’er. He banned me from LGF b/c he didn’t like the Obama Joker picture on the blog http://hopeychange.blogspot.com
Charles has indeed jumped the shark, his site is now gone completely loony. I no longer link there or visit.
Too bad, he did some great work exposing Islamic and Palestinian Terror and Propaganda.
But no more, he is now fixated on Sarah Palin and delusions about the “right”.
So long Charley …

It’s pretty obvious that Johnson doesn’t spit, he swallows.

you mean he has moved on from the creationist banter? I unsubscribed from his blog earlier this year. He is a nut who happened on some good information a while back that was true and has been trying to find another good hit ever since.

I was able to get through and register to leave comments at LGF. I imagine I will be banned soon for disagreeing with him or challenging his Liberal world view. Liberalism will tolerate evil against our children in order to advance a Totalitarian agenda, this is par for the course.
Flavia commented:
I noticed him going on a power trip the size of Obama’s ego back during the election. He’s been acting paranoid for months now. I suspect he’s supposed to be on some kind of schizophrenia medication and has gone of it or something. It’s like he’s trying to create a little kingdom or something on his blog. Very unstable behavior. I think the internet world has caught on to him though. Seems like most of the blogs I read have encountered him one way or another.

I too have quit going to LGF; it was a near-daily routine for me a few years back. I have an account but rarely commented, and don’t comment (or visit) at all any more.
I’m not sure if Charles ‘flipped’, as some here suggest, or whether he just ‘reverted’. I think he’s always been pretty leftist in his views. 9/11 changed him as it did many of us, and he was very helpful in the blogosphere for quite a while documenting the Islamicist danger. The Bush documents forgery helped considerably.
But in the last couple of years he’s reverted to what he was before — an intolerant leftist. 9/11 is far enough in the past for him, I suppose. Or perhaps he thinks that we’ve won the War on Terror and don’t need to worry any more.
Whatever. I don’t go there, and the blog I help out at (Rantburg) doesn’t link him.

Like many of the previous posters stated, LGF thrives – and gains income from – hits and links. The best thing we all can do is support Jim and ignore Charles Johnson. LGF starts these blog wars because the site’s comments, visits, anf links have all but dried up. Johnson is a desperate man, because both conservative and liberal blogs/readers see him as a pariah.

LGF is a sick/hateful weblog. Dont link to it.
Blue Collar Todd commented:
Johnson also commits the genetic fallacy with his attack on GP. This is when someone rejects the arguments by attacking where the facts came from. One cannot dismiss the argument because he does not like where it is coming from or where the facts supporting the argument came from.
Also, the tired “homophobic” card was played as usual. Anyone who does not tolerate, and Left means by this, accept and promote homosexuality, is by default a homophobe. The Left is the most intolerant group out there right now since they want to control what we think.
Apple Cider commented:
I’m not sure that Charles Johnson’s defense of Kevin Jennings makes him a Nambla member, at least without some investigation into his background. However, I do find it very disgusting on his part and think that the FBI should check out what he, possibly, has hidden on his hard drives.
The very idea that Charles Johnson would try to cover up and attack those who are bringing this to our attention is very sick.
I understand that Johnson may have gotten rid of his ponytail and has copied the Nick Nolte look.

Thank you for standing up to that nutjob.
Alexis commented:
Charles Johnspm is a screwed up creep who hates pro lifers, hates Christians, hates conservatives and now his his tongue firmly planted in B. Hussein Obama’s tush. His feuds with Pam Geller and Robert Spencer show that he is an ignoramus. He also bans anybody who dares to disagree with him. He remains a liberal and a somewhat radical one at that. He is not “anti-idiotarian” – he is anti life and anti liberty. He has also been brainwashed by a Moslem Albanian chick who feeds him drivel which he believes.
BabbaZee commented:
You wanna hurt him? Ignore him ENTIRELY.

Whippet commented:
Everyone wants to ignore CJ because he’s basically become a nutbag. No one wants to give him any traffic. So what if he gets traffic. The reason there is a Jennings or a Jones or an Obama in the first place is because Conservatives dismissed them as nutbags and didn’t want to give them any attention. Now they sit in positions of power.
I say expose CJ and if that brings him more traffic, tough. We need to expose what an ignorant, paranoid race-baiting jerk that he is. Everyone needs to see through the window to the soul of the liberal mind…sick as it is.
The liberals are being exposed now by their actions even with a compliant MSM and they are proving to be the failures that they have always been. Now is the time to bring it all out in the open…

What BabbaZee said. Ignore him. He’s worthless.
Dr. Bob commented:
I used to go to his blog as my first stop on the web. But in the last year, his unfair demogoging of differing opinions, his hateful and unfair attacks on honest bloggers, his shutdown of dissent and his utter comtempt of religion has totally ruined his site.
I do not go there any more and I urge others to do likewise. And other blogs should ignore his completely.
Take the oxygen away from his site and it will collapse into a hate-filled cesspool.
lonestargal commented:
Funny but years ago LGF, Andrew Sullivan’s Daily Dish and Lucianne.com used to be my first three stops every morning. Now you would have to threaten me with a gun to visit those three sites.
Lucianne is because the administrators there are a nasty bunch and Johnson and Sullivan are two whack jobs.
docweasel commented:
re: crosspatch
Oddly enough, that probably isn’t true. We run a pretty well-trafficked site (not the docweaselblog, the actual site, NSFW) and I know of no affiliation program that pays for eyeballs anymore. They want clicks on banners at minimum, and even that is rate. What you make money on is actual SALES (like his Amazon ads, doesn’t matter how many people see them).
One reason he may be so quick on the ban button is that all those people commenting don’t buy jack, and the bandwidth costs are eating him up.
When we were getting several thousand hits a day, we were actually in the black. But once we broke the 20-25k pageviews a day, the cost of bandwidth became a killer. I’m thinking that’s what he’s facing today. Strangely, the more people who visit, but who don’t click any ads and don’t buy anything, are costing him money, since he runs a self-hosted vanity site and he must pay the bandwidth costs out of pocket.
That’s one reason I’m contemptuous of blogs who bleg for money to “stay online”- that’s bull. You can get free hosting (as we do for our blog, which makes no money at all) easily. Hosting your own blog is nothing but vanity. If you want to pay for it, then do so. Don’t ask others to subsidize your delusions of grandeur.
Lynn commented:
You can’t ignore him when his blog is filled every day withe smears. He has only escalated his attacks. He’s also been hired by true/slant a crappy online rag before they even hired that whackjob. People have to start standing up to him.
Brad commented:
What a whiny pu**y is CJ.
Pat the First commented:
I left LFG when CJ went bonkers attacking Christians and “creationism”. I sent through his email a very interesting website that I thought would help him understand where “evolution” stands right now. The entire theory is in a precarious place because no matter what people want to say 99.9% of it cannot be proven.
He just kept getting worse and worse with it. I couldn’t take it anymore. I don’t ever visit LFG. There is no reason for me to do it. There is nothing on that website that can help me to make up my own mind on issues.

Sorry. He loves to slander good people such as Sarah Palin, Jim DeMint, Rush Limbaugh, Tim Pawlentey, Bobby Jindal – but I notice that he is rather thin skinned about any criticism directed at him. I love it when he starts ranting about being smeared by “stalker sites” (whatever the **** that means). Johnson cannot take a punch (as evidenced by his being trashed and eviscerated at Ace of Spades, The Other McCain, Powerline, Atlasshrugged, Gateway Pundit, Iowahawk, Free Republic and theblogmocracy) and is a piss poor lousy debater so God bless all those who stood up to that bully and got figuratively into his face. You should run your blog the way you want to with the “oymerta” philosophy but others choose to fight back and watch Chuckles squirm and rage in feigned victimhood. I guess to each his/her own.
Richard Romano commented:
but Charles promptly deleted my comments, banned me, and commented that I am a ‘moron.’
Typical response from a pathological hypocrite and self-obsessed phony.
It’s his blog, so he can do what he wants; however, he confirms the right’s dictoatorial suspicions of the left, that if they had any real power, totalitarianism would be the rule and the norm.
Brian Cobbs commented:
Hey Jim,
I’m not sure how much you know about the law, but as an attorney, I can tell you that Charles has about as good a chance of suing you as I do of dating Pamela Anderson.
There is a Supreme Court precedent, NY-Times v. Sullivan that establishes that for public figures (which Charles would be considered) something called an “actual malice” standard has to be met; Charles would have to prove that, not only was your blog false, malicious, and damaging to him, but that YOU WERE PERSONALLY AWARE that it was completely false, malicious, and damaging to him.
Whether defending Kevin Jennings means supporting what that pervert did is a matter open to interpretation. There is no way in HELL that a public figure could sue someone over that posting. Absolutely zero percent chance. Charles would have to prove that you were personally aware that your headline was false and malicious; even if objectively your headline/posting was false, if you could show that you had ANY REASON to believe that it was true, then he has no grounds.
There are HUGE First Amendment concerns that happen when a public figure sues for libel, although I have no doubt that doofus who deletes dissenting accounts from his blog understands that.
If you actually need legal advice, let me know, and we can talk via email.
BabbaZee commented:

Bill in Pa commented:
Yeah Charles banned me last year because I dis agreed with him on evolution and my faith in Jesus. He said it was hate speech if I believed in God and the Bible. It is weird that he is supporting NAMBLA. I got the sense he is got issues. He is still living on the Bush rather fame. This guy is so over. The worst blog on the net. Notice that MSNBC is his star advertiser.

Yes everyone should run their own blogs the way they want to, thanks for the permission to do the same at mine LOL
I have been accused for two years now of not “fighting back” ….. because….
1) I give not the first rats as ass about this idiot or what he says and believe me he said plenty about me personally in many threads in an effort to “get my goat’
2) Satan can not cast out Satan
3) The power of STFU is inestimable but no one S’sTFU long enough to realize it
4) it is not between him and me it is between him and GOD, not my job to worry about his blasphemies…
Charles Johnson WHO?
All you have to do is sit back and watch, and he will use his own tongue to dig his own grave. Guaranteed. They do it every time IF you allow room for the wrath of GOD…

BabbaZee I respect you and was not criticizing you. I do not see any particular right way to deal (or not deal) with Johnson. The sadist in me enjoys the idea of him getting upset, the rational side in me says “completely ignore the b*stard.”

Tom Stelene commented:
Hey Richard Romano, would you be so good as to make clear how I am ‘a pathological hypocrite and self-obsessed phony’ from my comment? That sounds like an unsupported assertion that is only a smear. You know, like what Johnson does so often. I just wrote factually about what happened, that’s it. I agree that Charles can delete the accounts and comments of whoever he wants – but isn’t that dictatorial and hypocritical when the person he is deleting merely respectfully disagrees with him, not violating his own comment policy?
Ray commented:
Since my wife’s diagnosis with a fatal brain disease called Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD), I have heard many stories from others with the same diagnosis.
It usually starts off with neglect of personal appearance, saying inappropriate things in public, bad judgement, and progresses to obsessive and paranoid thoughts. The sufferer usually doesn’t think that anything is wrong with them. It is very obvious to the family.
This, or some similar disease, may explain what is happening to Charles Johnson. His rapid change is obvious to his on-line “family”. I, too, have my account removed from LGF.
Rather than flames, we might consider a physical cause for his behavior.

vanderleun commented:
Not to worry. Johnson hasn’t got the cash to write the $10,000 retainer check to any libel attorney eager to separate him from what little money he has left.
A $10,000 check would probably leave Johnson $8,000 overdrawn. The guy’s broke.
Brian Cobbs commented:
One further legal musing before bed:
I read through the comments at LGF. They are actually talking about *raising money* to help with this “lawsuit”. Money could be raised to bring Clarence Darrow back from the dead, and a first-year student at an online-law school could beat him on this case.
Before he typed up his post, Charles should have taken two seconds to realize this:
If Charles could sue Tom over this post, because it damaged his reputation or whatever, then the 1000 people who have been labeled by Charles as “WHITE SUPREMACIST BLOGGER MICHELLE MALKIN!!!” etc., could also sue him.
No one throws out more labels and damaging name-calling than Charles Johnson. I rarely check his site, but when I do, it’s always “THE RACISTS AT HOTAIR ARE AT IT AGAIN!!”, or something along those lines.
Guess what Charles: what’s good for the goose is good for the gander.
Preventing that cluster*#&@ of lawsuits, and, in turn, allowing a free-flow of debate and information is precisely why the law does not allow suits like Charles’ “lawsuit” to proceed. If you’re a public figure, you basically assume the risk that people will say far more offensive things against you than Jim said about Charles.
And if it hurt, then he should think twice about labeling every single conservative a racist or an anti-semite.
(This all being said, I do think that your title is unfair, Tom. He’s certainly guilty of defending a perv, but there’s absolutely no reason to think that Charles personally supports Jennings methods of education. I think you should change it out of fairness, but definitely not because of a bogus “legal” threat)
JPL17 commented:
So Johnson is right in calling out the fact that [the Bulgarian website] is not a legit news source.
Huh? Legit news source or not, isn’t the relevant question whether Kevin Jennings is fit to be our nation’s “safe schools czar”?

You have successfully hoisted Charles on his own petard, and all he can do is stamp his feet like a spoiled child.
From his postings and comments, he doesn’t seem to even have the self-awareness to realize he’s been had in the same fashion he slimed Pam Gellar and Robert Spencer.
Lynn commented:
RaceCardCharlie says: “That’s good – the more people who link to his libelous post the better.”
The dummy seems to have forgotten that he has linked to the “libelous post” himself. More than a bit self defeating legally speaking.

ProtestShooter commented:
Charles is clearly mentally ill and I don’t think it’s nice of people to pick on him.
vanderleun commented:
Charles has no hope of squeezing cash out of his few commenters. He’s essentially executed his customer base.
Check out the statistics panel (and disregard its dubious count). He once had 20 to 30 percent of those “viewing” the site logged in at any given time.
These days he can barely manage 5-7%. That shrinkage alone should tell you how broke the whole enterprise has become.
Like I said, nothing cools bringing a libel suit faster than having to write that first retainer check.

Like many of the previous posters stated, LGF thrives – and gains income from – hits and links. The best thing we all can do is support Jim and ignore Charles Johnson. LGF starts these blog wars because the site’s comments, visits, anf links have all but dried up. Johnson is a desperate man, because both conservative and liberal blogs/readers see him as a pariah.
Yes,no one likes or trusts a traitor.

FeFe commented:
I believe the White House took after Fox News to stop Sean Hannity from reporting on this story and calling for Kevin Jennings to be fired. It worked. The meme shifted. But I am grateful GatewayPundit has championed the cause of parental rights and schools safe from 60′s sex propaganda. Jennings was personally confronted with a despondent tween and his only concern was the student have safe sex lest he not enjoy it as much. Jennings must go regardless of his $600,000+ bundling for ObamACORN, or his appointment as a concession to the glbt community for Obama not supporting same sex marriage.
Schools track violence or bullying and despite the national data and student polling showing glbt issues in this regard are hardly enough to record statistically (in the face of Glsen internal identity politics reports for shakedown funding), Jennings wants to push through amendment legislation that will mandate schools track glbt specifically with a focus on gender reassignment. This will force his Glsen curriculum/propaganda into every classroom in America, K-12.
Sexualizing children in the name of one day passing gay marriage is evil. “Civil union” upsets their delicate sense of right and wrong with humanity you see. Would that they spend their efforts helping those gays swinging from a noose in Iran.
CJ getting into the fray indicates to me he supports gay marriage and believes the DNC/glbt talking points that reeducating Americas youth is the way to achieve this. Parental rights be damned.

Tom Stelene commented:
Johnson’s dismissal of the Jennings scandal just because Mass Awareness and the Bulgarian site are running with it is foolish. I know nothing about either of them, but, for argument’s sake I will grant Johnson’s characterization of them as cranks and kooks – and that still does not mean the Jennings story is false or malicious smears. Consider this. Coast To Coast AM regularly has stories about alien abductions, ghosts, and the like. Well, I heard the esteemed astro-physicist Neil deGrasse Tyson on the show debunking the Mayan 2012 end-of-the-world nonsense. I’d like to see Johnson blog how Tyson is full of it because he was on Coast To Coast! The point is, by Johnson’s simplistic logic Tyson’s debunking of the ‘Mayan 2012 end of the world’ should be dismissed as a kookiness because it was on Coast To Coast – nevermind that Tyson knows what he’s talking about! So even that show deals with reality from time and gets it right! Even if Mass Awareness and the Bulgarian site are what Johnson claims about them – so what, if what they are talking about is true?
Follow this one step further: (again granting to Johnson for argument’s sake) if ‘hate-filled kooks’ are accurately, truthfully reporting on something as significant as a presidential adviser who is indoctrinating little kids into sexual perversion and the rest of the news media ignore it – what does that say about the shape they are in?

I’m another proud “moron” that was banned from his site.

I pointed out that not everyone who believes in inteilligent design is the boogeyman or a member of the taliban and that such a theory is very much possible. My first comment was swarmed by his faithful readers which he calls “lizards” who constantly insulted me. And when I responded to their ad hominem attacks later in the day to clarify my position by acknowledging that I’m basically a hardcore science geek and a firm believer in biological evolution, he banned me and accused me of being a creationist secret agent who was only pretending to believe in evolution in order to win converts to my creationist beliefs…
What a freaking weirdo.
