The Blogger Who Helped to Dislodge Dan Rather Johnson’s biggest coup so far came when, together with some other bloggers, he exposed the forged documents with which CBS’s “60 Minutes” sought to undermine President Bush’s claim to have served honorably in the Texas National Guard during the Vietnam War. Johnson writes scathingly about the mainstream media, which he refers to by the derisory acronym “MSM.” He regularly castigates what might be termed the Guardian worldview abroad, and lashes out frequently at “al-Reuters” and other news services for their anti-American biases. Johnson who, copying the forgery from a PDF file CBS posted on its Web site, retyped the memo using Microsoft Word’s standard settings, and found that his version was identical in every detail to the one Dan Rather claimed had been typed on a manual typewriter some three decades earlier. daily.nysun.com /Repository/getmailfiles.asp?Style=OliveXLib:ArticleToMail&Type=text/html&Path=NYS/2005/02/03&ID=Ar02100

Daily Pundit Archives Blogger Charles Johnson points to a 1997 "report" from KCNA (second item), the North Korean "news" agency, titled "Gift to Secy. Blogger James Taranto says in today's Best of the Web that "the Eason Jordan kerfuffle" is really getting silly now. Curiously, Johnson does not question the veracity of this report, even though it comes from an official arm of the North Korean regime. www.dailypundit.com /archives/016923.php

LGF Watch Charles Johnson was spotted crying into his Coco Pops this morning after reading newspaper reports that evil terrorist mastermind and Lizard-enemy #1, George Galloway, has been exonerated from another heinous crime, this time embezzling charity money. Charles Johnson has figured out what the world's best intelligence agencies haven't been able to figure out: what happened to those 'weapons of mass destruction' that Saddam Hussein had stockpiled but which mysteriously failed to materialise before, during or after the war. Charles Johnson expresses his outrage once again that anyone should dare to document the war in Afghanistan and Iraq on camera other than from his perspective. lgfwatch.blogspot.com /2004_06_01_lgfwatch_archive.html

Micro Persuasion: April 2005 Jay Rosen at NYU and Chris Nolan (a former Merc columnist) have written a great post about the coming age of "stand alone journalism." Stand-alone journalists differ from bloggers and citizen journalists in that they are professionals who are using the same technology to strike out on their own. Blogger John Gruber has re-written the official PR FAQ (PDF) that Adobe and Macromedia put out concurrent with this week's merger announcement. Richard Johnson, editor of the Page Six in the New York Post, was asked by IWantMedia if/when the gossip column might become a blog. www.micropersuasion.com /2005/04/index.html

L.A. Observed: Seipp on Carroll * Johnson exposes some of the abundant evidence of this mindset on his blog, is commendable, yet time and again pampered children of a free society indulge in vile name-calling and outright lies in an attempt to villify & censure him. Charles is NOT in charge...of his little regulars beating their drums and waiving there fists in the air..it's useless to try and talk any sense into you; and, just so you know, I privately emailed Charlse @ his addy not the LGF blog site. Charles Johnson is, in no uncertain terms, one of the greatest living treasures of the blogsphere. www.laobserved.com /archive/001904.html

BuzzMachine... by Jeff Jarvis Blogger Charles Johnson at LittleGreenFootballs.com quickly retyped one memo in Microsoft Word and found the results to be identical — that is, Rather’s “evidence” was apparently a clumsy, computerized forgery. Bloggers would never say, “My evidence looks as phony as a Saddam dollar and I won’t tell you how I know what I say I know, or why I think what I think — but you should trust me, just because of who I am.” Bloggers admit mistakes. : Iranian blogger Sina Motallebi just emailed the good news that his father has been released. www.buzzmachine.com /archives/2004_09_19.html

USS Clueless - Blogger conspiracy? It seems that a lot of Blogger account passwords were changed to "1", possibly as many as 350,000 of them. Update: Blogger's server is still down, which means that any site maintained with it cannot be updated. As I write this, Blogspot seems to be back up again, but it also seems that Blogger itself was storing FTP passwords for each account's host system online in clear and those may have been stolen, too. denbeste.nu /cd_log_entries/2001/12/fog0000000030.shtml

The Charles Johnson Interview - Right Wing News (Conservative News and Views) Charles Johnson: There's little doubt that the Oslo "peace process" was a complete disaster, and a failure on every level, because it failed to take into account the dishonesty of Arafat and his gangs of thugs. Charles Johnson: Lately it has seemed to me that Israel has started to relax their strict guidelines against harming civilians, when it's necessary to act against terrorists plotting attacks. Charles Johnson: Iran is an interesting problem, because they have a huge disaffected younger generation that is very pro-American, and increasingly connected to the Internet. rightwingnews.com /interviews/johnson.php

LGF Watch Charles Johnson highlights ( http://littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/?entry=8740_Fear_Us_Oh_Europe) an interesting piece of news about an EU survey showing that most Europeans believe that the US and Israel are currently the greatest threats to world peace. Charles Johnson must be pretty frustrated that Salam Pax (aka the Baghdad Blogger) is still around. Charles Johnson admits that an advert purporting to be from anti-Semitic groups active at Rutgers university is actually a hoax ( http://littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/?entry=8870_Calling_PDM... lgfwatch.blogspot.com /2003_11_01_lgfwatch_archive.html

print.cfm?topurl=%2Fblogs%2Fblogs%2Ecfm%3Fcategoryid%3D23 The site welcomes guest bloggers and offers directions for conservatives to set up their own blogs. With a full staff of bloggers, you’ll find plenty of tirades against Kerry and other leftists. Charles Johnson's favorite description of his site was that of a "bleeding heart conservative," as mentioned by a frequent visitor to the site. www.campaignline.com /print.cfm?topurl=%2Fblogs%2Fblogs%2Ecfm%3Fcategoryid%3D23

Belmont Club: April 2005 Techdirt has a story on a concept called 'Napster' for news which describes a trend in which individuals have become to reporters as bloggers were to newspaper pundits. The Astute Blogger asks whether the French are, by a funny twist of fate, set to destroy their own creation: that having created their own Frankenstein monster, they are now in danger of being strangled by it. With bloggers getting press passes, citizen journalists creating ambitious open source news networks, and Wikimedia trying their hand at news, newspapers are running scared. belmontclub.blogspot.com /2005_04_01_belmontclub_archive.html

Blogs look burly after kicking sand on CBS Bloggers enjoy a moment of glory after pooling their expertise to uncover the truth about the forged memos on Bush's service record. Charles Johnson, a blogger in Los Angeles with an expertise in typography, suspected forgery: The documents looked too contemporary. This has to be proof of either two things, CBS was trying to influence the election or Bloggers are smarter than the MSM, well I guess both are true. www.freerepublic.com /focus/f-news/1222942/posts

Auterrific: The Arabs' Berlin Wall Has Crumbled Mark Steyn also mentions powerhouse blogger Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs: Kudos to Mark Steyn for a well-written and informative piece and to Charles Johnson for presenting fair and balanced reporting on the Middle East in general and Palestinians in particular. With apologies to Ted Rall, I am regurgitating* an article by Mark Steyn that was sent to me by a family friend in Israel who often sends me very pertinent and informative articles on Mideast affairs. auterrific.mu.nu /archives/069733.php

Blogger Beer: From the Freedom of Speech for me, But Not for Thee File. However, as far as his readers go I mean generally those on the left and many leftists have used the comments on LGF to bash Charles, that is not in dispute. Now undoubtedly Kevin will gripe the postings of his readers do not reflect his opinion but this does not stop Kevin and his fans from using comments left on LGF to smear Charles Johnson.

The Peking Duck: Charles Johnson does Auschwitz -- and gets it all wrong My favorite wingnut racist blogger Charles Johnson yesterday wrote a piece commemorating the 60th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, a place the very name of which has become synonymous with evil. Johnson's piece is well intended; it offers a sketchy, History 101-type description of the death camp, the kind of thing you can find on any number of Web sites. How odd, that Johnson doesn't see the extreme irony here -- that his own site is the kind of breeding ground for hatred and racism that made Auschwitz possible. pekingduck.org /archives/002204.php

t a c i t u s Lost cause, but.... Charles Johnson and his commenters regularly assert that this horror is a function of the Khartoum regime's Islamic faith. Isn't it better not to slag off bloggers but to argue against their opinions and pull them apart (which should be easy if CJ is as inept as you claim). Johnson issued a correction of sorts on the Corrie quote. www.tacitus.org /story/2004/4/15/7485/72082

Slashdot Bush Service Memos Questioned There's a round-up of key facts about the story on this blogger's web site." The experts in the CNS News story and others could come to no conclusion, and even if the documents are not originals or photocopies of originals, that doesn't necessarily mean that they aren't faithfully retyped copies of originals. Blogger Charles Johnson (no relation) went one step further, actually reproducing one of the memos in its entirety using Microsoft Word's default settings. Blogger Scott Johnson ran with the story first this morning, raising questions about the typography of the memos. politics.slashdot.org /politics/04/09/09/2042211.shtml?tid=224&tid=219

BuzzMachine... by Jeff Jarvis Iranian blogger ba2k publishes email from Said saying that he did not sign the petition and from Chomsky saying he did. : Blogger and its new parent, Google, need to fix something: Hoder, who started the blogging revolution in Iran, reports that the new Blogger doesn't support unicode (which, I now learn, is a means of displaying no end of languages in browsers) and that means that the many Persian bloggers now using Blogspot can't. The blogger is shocked that the group did not find a single Iranian to sign its petition. www.buzzmachine.com /archives/2003_05.html

RiCk_JoHnSoN O ala Charles, um dos jogadores mais admirados pela torcida limeirense, treinou fisicamente com os demais atletas da Winner ontem pela manhã no Limeira Clube. Charles não quis adiantar, mas a parte financeira está sendo estudada pelas duas partes. O jogador Johnson, que atuou aqui em 2003 e deixou muitas saudades, participou da And 1 Mixtape Tour 2005, que está sendo realizada nesse mês nos EUA. www.rick_johnson.blogger.com.br

Sir Humphrey's: Leftists who've turned to the Right after terrorist attacks But by the 13th, Johnson had already decided the coming war was more important than his previous political allegiance to the Democratic Party and antagonism towards Bush. The war against Islamist terrorists and their Salafi Muslim supporters has led to quite a few former US Democrats switching votes to the Republicans, including one blogger I read regularly: Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs. Johnson's last pre-9/11 post is titled ' placement of web page elements '. sirhumphreys.blogspot.com /2005/07/leftists-whove-turned-to-right-after.html

OpinionJournal - Best of the Web Today The chief anti-LGF agitator seems to be a blogger called Anil Dash, who outlined his objections in a post two months ago: Johnson, a Los Angeles-based Web designer, has one of the nicest-looking blogs around, and it's packed with interesting information, mostly on the war and the barbarity of radical Islam. Charles Johnson is lucky he doesn't live in France. www.opinionjournal.com /best?id=110002505

lgf: They Smile In Your Face Charles, I just heard on the local news that al-nyt is going to devote the cover and a large article to bloggers and their influence! Klam probably talked to several non-liberal bloggers but since they are even-tempered and rational, and rely on facts instead of emotions, he didn't have any material that fit his worldview, so he left them out. I think we'll see more of individual bloggers "adopting" individual newspapers and, in some cases, individual columnists. littlegreenfootballs.com /weblog/?entry=12824_They_Smile_In_Your_Face

reading & writing So, I am about to move from Blogger to Movable Type & from Blogspot to a server that will be leased cooperatively by a really weird--& I say that with affection, you understand--group of literary bloggers with a taste for the technical. Blogger is an amazing tool & one that I will continue to use. Without trying to support or refute anything either blogger wrote, I'd simply observe that whatever will replace marriage will probably be called marriage, even though if we came back in a hundred years we wouldn't recognize it. www.rw.blogspot.com

Shoutin' across the Pacific I live and work in an area that's highly Republican (78% of all votes cast in the last general election were for the GOP), very anti-abortion and where the vast majority of the people are evangelical Protestants. Schmeling was long known for his philanthropy, but it really wasn't until the last couple of decades that the extent of hsi giving to charitable causes became know. Everyday, a group of disaffected salarymen are required to spill out their inner-most thoughts about life, the universe and everything in broken English. expats.blogspot.com

nickdenton.org: Charles Johnson Charles Johnson has, whether or not he intended, become a leader of his little group. 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. As I've said before, Charles Johnson's LGF site is a useful resource. www.nickdenton.org /archives/001470.html

Postcards from the Digital Age - Gunga Dan and the Attack of the Bloggers Which brings us to the bloggers who are now slamming each other with digital high-fives and proclaiming the rise of the blog as a great political power. Charles Johnson is a blogger with expertise in typography. Reporters uncovered sources that supported the bloggers' analysis. www.bockinfo.com /040928postcard.htm

Fixing Blogger - Scott on Feedster I completely agree for small-scale Captcha deployments, but a Captcha on Blogger's account signup screen is easily worth the effort of deploying a free porn attack - the economic benefit (ability to create thousands of spam weblogs and get huge PageRank boosts) massively outweighs the cost of setting up the attack. In fact, enter "Blogger sucks" in Google and you get 720,000 results, with most of the entries on the first few pages (read: the most popular) dedicated to these exasperating tech snafus. In a post called "Blogger Stinks," Ryan McReynolds, who shares his views on life, God, intimacy, politics and media philosophy, wrote: "I'm getting really tired of all the glitches and hiccups of Blogger. scott.feedster.com /archives/136-Fixing-Blogger.html

lgf: Bush Guard Documents: Forged Someone was kind enough to link the Charles' previous entry on this subject to Fark.com and it got "greenlighted" (posted on the front page). It’s fascinating how quickly the blogs and the Internet were able to catch this as compared to intelligence agencies which were so slow off the mark with the Niger documents. Charles - if you have time/inclination/etc - print the document - photocopy it - SCAN IT - and load it into Pshop and kill anti-aliasing. littlegreenfootballs.com /weblog?entry=12526_Bush_Guard_Documents-_Forged

Cox & Forkum: Down From The Mountain Soon Charles Johnson, a Los Angeles musician-turned-conservative-blogger who hosts the site LittleGreenFootballs.com, posted the results of his own investigation [of the CBS Bush memos]. The article is very grudging in giving credit to blogs, going as far as to cast doubt on their legitimacy, but bloggers Scott Johnson ( Power Line) and Charles Johnson ( Little Green Footballs) are acknowledged for their breakthroughs in the faked memos story. It took the savvy chappies at the Powerline Web site and Charles Johnson of ''Little Green Footballs'' about 20 minutes to spot the eerily 2004 look of the 1972 memo, and various Internet wallahs spent the rest of the day tracking down the country's leading typewriter identification experts. www.coxandforkum.com /archives/000413.html
