OMG: Charles Johnson now claims Rather didn't know Bush memos were false
One of the events that put the blogosphere on the map seven years ago was the takedown of CBS News anchor Dan Rather for using falsified memos regarding George W. Bush's National Guard service during the Vietnam era. The blogger who led that charge was Little Green Footballs' Charles Johnson.Now Tim Blair reports that someone is claiming that CBS News wasn't pushing something they knew to be false. That someone is none other than a reformed Charles Johnson.
That someone is reborn leftoid Charles Johnson, whose involvement in the case helped bring down Rather. He seems to regret it. As Daedalus reports:As long as Charles insists on riding the Way Back Machine, here's hoping he goes all the way back to being a Jazz musician who occasionally blogs about computer issues. Watching him do politics has become too painful to bear.
Charles is now distancing himself … he is disavowing his role …
Charles Johnson, you are the new Dan Rather.

What is more remarkable is how such a good chunk of his members completed the same 180 turn, as if they are his little minions. I got banned for something that most people would have "up-dinged" on his blog before he began his transformation. What a group of hypocrites.
Carl, thank you, thank you, thank you! You have made my day...possibly even a month! Can't stop laughing...uh, smirking!
Maybe Charles will end up sweeping floors?
