Charles Johnson
As I've said before, Charles Johnson's LGF site is a useful resource. As an obsessive record of the bilious pronouncements of Muslim clerics, and the hypocrisy of their governments, the site has no equal. But Anil Dash is right when he says that posters to LGF are downright racist. Some hate Arab culture and Muslim extremism so much that they hate Arabs and Muslims indiscriminately. Now Johnson isn't responsible for comments left on his site; but I can't find any post in which he distances himself from his more rabid followers. We demand that politicians and clerics take responsibility for the statements and actions of their followers. Charles Johnson has, whether or not he intended, become a leader of his little group. He should condemn the racists he's attracted, or accept he's one of them. #
