Little Green Footballs is Civil (Updated)

Charles Johnson, President of the Fred Phelps Fan Club


I kid! A few comments, from a post called PFLP Leader: 'Arafat Died of AIDS':

-- "Now the liberals will love him even more..."

-- "I thought AIDS started with monkey's and not goats?"

-- "So on top of a murderous, rebellious, ugly d*ck head, he was a homosexual too?"

-- "Can we raise the Andrew Sullivan Feelings Threat Warning to "Heartache" level?"

-- "MO This isn't the break we are looking for. We need a former lover, with graphic pictures to move the Arab Street. ... Also it is not all great that Arafat was homosexual. This could very easily lead to a lot of gay bashing, both in the streets of Gaza, and in these forums..." [No shit? --ed]

-- "Hey, maybe Allah is gay and will welcome him with open arms."

-- "Hillary better get herself checked."

-- "Maybe from a toilet seat?"

-- "Zombie - we are due for more Cana type pics of AIDS suffering palis. Keep your photoshop open."

Arafat was, to put it mildly, a monster. But this stuff isn't about his legacy -- it's nothing more than homophobic garbage, all posted with the blessing of Charles Johnson. (Johnson is on the record saying that he filters LFG for racist terms. But anti-gay slurs, well, not so much...)

"I don't think Charles's site could be called a "hate site" by any stretch of the imagination," Putz once wrote.

That was five years ago, but given his continued Pajamas Media partnership with Mr. Johnson, it's pretty clear that Putz is still bereft of an imagination.

[We seem to have gotten the Sadly, No! treatment, as the LGF links are no longer operable. The animation's nice, though. --Teh Management]
