Little Green Footballs (LGF) is a political blog run by California web designer Charles Johnson. In the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks, Johnson - who describes himself as "pretty much center-left before 9/11"[1] - transformed his blog's discussion of bicycle racing, programming, web design, and the occasional humorous news item into a very active discussion of the War on Terror, Islam and the Arab-Israeli conflict. Media observers have described the site as "ultraconservative"[2] or "right wing";[3] observes Johnson: Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

For "promoting Israel, and Zionism" and "presenting Israel's side of the conflict," LGF won the "Best Israel Advocacy Blog" award from the Jerusalem Post in 2005 [5]. According to Gil Ronen, a reporter for Internet news outlet, Israel National News:[6] This article is about Zionism as a movement, not the History of Israel. ...

If anyone ever compiles a list of Internet sites that contribute to Israel’s public relations effort, Johnson's site will probably come in first, far above the Israeli Foreign Ministry's site.

In the United States, LGF is perhaps best known for playing a key role in raising doubts about the authenticity of the Killian documents regarding President Bush[7][8], which preceded the resignation of CBS' Dan Rather. The site won the Washington Post's reader poll for Best International Blog in November 2004[9] and played a large role in exposing the forged and altered photographs in the Adnan Hajj photographs controversy[10].

Recurring themes

Ideological influences

Charles Johnson's posts on LGF Charles Johnson's posts on LGF كثيرا ما استشهد كتابه المؤلفين الذين يمثلون المحافظة و / أو neolibertarian وجهات النظر ، مثل فيكتور ديفيس هانسون ، تشارلز كراوثامر ، مارك ستاين ، جيمس lileks ، والراحل اوريانا فلاتشي.


"Palestinian child abuse"

Johnson often posts photos taken by Associated Press and Reuters photographers, among others, of Palestinians dressing their children in paramilitary uniforms, or in clothing emblazoned with violent slogans such as "Death to Israel." These children are often shown carrying realistic toy guns and even wearing mock-ups of the explosive belts used by suicide bombers. Johnson refers to such photographs as evidence of "Palestinian child abuse."[21]


Rachel Corrie

Johnson has stated many times that he is disgusted with media coverage of the death of ISM activist Rachel Corrie, who was killed by an Israeli bulldozer in Rafah, a town in the Gaza Strip.[22] Johnson disputes the ISM's account, holding that Corrie was "trying to 'protect' a house used for drugs and weapons smuggling".[22] Claims Johnson: For information on the Polish trade union, see Solidarity. ... Rachel Corrie Rachel Corrie (April 10, 1979 – March 16, 2003) was an American member of the International Solidarity Movement (ISM) who traveled to the Gaza Strip during the Al-Aqsa Intifada. ...

Rafah (Arabic: رفح Hebrew: רפיח) is a town in the Gaza Strip, on the Egyptian border, and a nearby town on the Egyptian side of the border, on the Sinai Peninsula. ...

Rachel Corrie was emphatically not a “peace activist.” She sided with terrorists and criminals, and advocated—in fact, was excited by—violence and mass murder.[23]

In support of this view, he has cited a diary entry from Corrie in which she claims that the Palestinians are justified in their terror attacks.[24]


In posts about her on LGF, Johnson often features a photo of Corrie burning a hand-drawn American flag and surrounded by Palestinian children.[22]


Slang

Discussing slang terms used by Johnson and his readers, Paul Farhi, a writer for the Washington Post, notes: ...

...Little Green Footballs doesn't always traffic in subtlety and nuance. Dissenting points of view often are dismissed as "idiotarian" or "LLL" (for "loony liberal left"), and Islam is mockingly referred to as "RoP," meaning "religion of peace.[25]

Registration and posting protocols

Registration

Johnson began requiring users to register for posting privileges in June 2004, closing the site to new registrations later that year; as of 2007, new user registration for the site is "occasionally open... during weekend afternoons, Pacific time."[1] For other uses, see June (disambiguation). ... Year 2004 (MMIV) was a leap year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar. ... Year 2007 (MMVII) is the current year, a common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar and the AD/CE era in the 21st Century. ...


Posting filter

Johnson has put in place a filter which stops LGF members from using certain derogatory and racist terms in their posts to the site. Johnson stresses that the number of comments filtered in this way are "minuscule." The filter is intended to prevent abuse going unnoticed.[26]


Rivalries

Johnson and LGF "regulars" (the self-proclaimed "Lizardoids") have engaged in a number of high-profile feuds and flame wars, pitting LGF supporters against readers of other blogs (e.g., Daily Kos) and alternative media sites (e.g. Fark and Digg). Claims Derek van Vliet, a writer for the Blog Herald: Reptilian humanoids are a common motif in mythology, folklore, science fiction, ufology, and the conspiracy theories of John Rhodes, David Icke, and Riley Martin. ... This article does not cite any references or sources. ... Look up flaming in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ... Daily Kos (IPA: ) is an American political blog, publishing news and opinion from a progressive point of view. ... Screenshot Fark. ... Digg is a community-based popularity website with an emphasis on technology and science articles, recently expanding to a broader range of categories such as politics and entertainment. ...

In the past, Charles Johnson, the owner of the (LGF) blog has rallied his readers to establish a “beachhead” on Digg to counteract the perceived liberal bias. All the while peppering pejoratives like “moonbat” throughout the content directed at Digg users. Meanwhile, their site does not allow open discussion. Registration is required to comment. And opportunities to register are rare. Digg users are known to rail against closed systems. After all, they came to participate...[27]

Redirects

Johnson often redirects incoming links from sites critical of LGF to the Israel Defense Forces homepage.[28][29] Emblem of the IDF The Israel Defense Forces are part of the Israeli Security Forces. ...


Claims and controversies

Claims of anti-Arab and anti-Muslim sentiment

  • R. J. Smith, writing in Los Angeles Magazine, has alleged that LGF is a "dysfunctional mix of beautiful photos Johnson takes on coastal bike rides and constitutionally protected hate speech" which "believes all Muslims are terrorists until proven innocent."[30]
  • Ibrahim Hooper, spokesman for the Council of American Islamic Relations (CAIR) called Little Green Footballs "a vicious, anti-Muslim hate site" and claims that the FBI has "investigated several threats of physical harm against Muslims posted by Little Green Footballs readers".[31]
  • Journalist Eric Boehlert has written that LGF "oozes disdain for Arabs and journalists (and most of all, Arab journalists)" and is "obsessed with proving that all MSM reporting from Iraq and the Middle East is biased in favor of Islamic terrorists."[33]

Media attention

2002

  • MSNBC's Will Femia wrote of LGF:
This site is the focus of considerable controversy for its focus (and particularly the focus of the constituents in its comments section) on Islamic culture and dogma as the source of Islamic terror. As a popular, active, and well presented site, it is worth checking out, but some may find its content hateful or even racist.

2004

  • On September 25, 2004, The New York Times Sunday magazine ran a cover story about political bloggers. Although Johnson had been interviewed for 43 minutes by author Michael Klam, neither he nor LGF got a mention in the final piece - Klam focused instead on longtime rivals Wonkette and the Daily Kos. Johnson struck back with a post entitled "They Smile in Your Face"[38] (an allusion to the 1972 soul hit "Back Stabbers" by the O-Jays), noting:
There is not one word about the anti-idiotarian blogosphere... The mainstream media’s shameful, arrogant bias [is] up there for all to see.

2005

  • Vanity Fair columnist James Wolcott characterized the LGF community as "sort of like a disorganized Nuremberg Rally, a lot of angry ruffians with nowhere to go...."[40] after Johnson described an attack on Daniel Pipes by Wolcott as "the sort of high-toned writin’ that made Vanity Fair the journalistic juggernaut it is today."[41]

Andrew Michael Sullivan (born August 10, 1963) is a libertarian conservative author and political commentator, distinguished by his often personal style of political analysis, and last, and often contended, in technology terms, yet to be determined, the number one solo pioneer in the field of pseudo-conversational political blog journalism. ...

2006

I'm losing patience with this notion, surely one of the most successful media Big Lies of the past few years, that Charles runs a racist hate site. By now it's been repeated so often that even normally reasonable people believe it.

Eric Boehlert: Little Green Footballs, Staged War Photos, and the Story the Press Won't Tell - Media on The Huffington ... (1042 words)
As Little Green Footballs, the right-wing warblog, continues to be toasted in the press for helping ferret out a Reuters news photo that was marginally altered to show a smoldering, bombed-out Beirut in the wake of a recent bombing, you might say that practice has made perfect for LGF.
Back in 2004 and 2005 LGF helped lead the charge in accusing a local Associated Press photographer in Iraq of working in concert with Iraqi insurgents and staging the public assassination of a Baghdad election worker.
The only problem for LGF was that allegation proved to be completely fictitious, not that LGF or any of the other right-wing online press-haters, such as Power Line and MichelleMalkin.com, ever copped to their delusional pursuit.
Little Green Footballs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1768 words)
LGF webmaster Charles Johnson coined the internet neologism and political epithet "Idiotarian," and runs an "Idiotarian of the Year Award" named for journalist Robert Fisk.
LGF was one of four sources, along with the Power Line and Allahpundit blogs and the Free Republic discussion forum, who conducted the initial investigation of Dan Rather's assertions on 60 Minutes that the Killian documents were genuine.
Johnson and LGF "regulars" (the self-proclaimed "Lizardoids") have engaged in a number of high-profile feuds and flame wars.
