It's come to this: Chuckles the Clown becomes an Arafat truther
I really don't go there anymore. In fact, I had not opened that site in months. And I would not have opened it this morning either except that
Memeorandum had a link to it next to mine. But just when you thought that Charles Johnson's Little Green Footballs could not possibly sink any lower, we find that @Lizardoid is now giving credibility to the notion that 'someone' ('Israel is going to be the most likely suspect')
poisoned Yasser Arafat. I would rate that as being the Middle East equivalent of claiming that George W. Bush hired 19 hijackers to fly two jets into the World Trade Center, one into the Pentagon and one into the ground in Pennsylvania on 9/11/2001.
Yes, Charles Johnson - the guy who gave so many of us our start in conservative blogging - has become an Arafat truther.
חבל על דאבדין ולא משתכחין. Woe to those who are lost and can no longer be found.

Political correctness runs rampant
Good grief.
I can't even tell you how many Chinese restaurants I've eaten in whose name included Hunan.

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:
Charles is now distancing himself … he is disavowing his role …
Charles Johnson, you are the new Dan Rather.
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.
