According to uncredited reports, in a shocking (shocking!)turn of events, Little Green Footballs, shillzone of the contraversial Charles 'Johnson', has decided the majority of the blame for the uncovering of the true depth of Fox News' propaganda exploitation for financial gain and in support of the Republican party in it's effort to reclaim governance of
the House and the Senate in the fall's elections, lies at the feet of none other than one Rachel Maddow, apparently of MSNBC, 9pm Weeknights.
The community and it's leader, largely known for uncovering the use of fake documents in CBS news reporting, ruthlessly laid in to Maddow, exposing the part she played in the scandal.
Brace yourself
The following is documented evidence of the decline of the once great site Little
Green Footballs, it's founder, Charles Johnson, and the community which supports it.
The accusations have been flying from Left and Right on this issue, and to none more so than the media, the life blood of it's existence. While many have contributed to some degree, LGF singles out the venerable Maddow for a hard-hitting piece.
But first, a little background.
Yesterday, Wed Jul 21, at 2:40pm..PDT..Mr Johnson made a post titled "Maddow on Fox News and Shirley Sherrod" and embedded the following video...
...in which Rachel shows how Fox News and Andrew Breitbart fabricated the story of a USDA employee admitting openly to using race as a basis of the quality of care and service she was providing to the public.
The reaction from the community of Little Green Footballs was fast and unrelenting, with commentators making statements such as...
The right wing's hair-trigger reaction to this bogus story, and eagerness to point out "reverse racism" (a term with a bigoted overtone, in and of itself) really shows what's really going on inside their id.
---
What I want to see is a full-on takedown of the race-baiting bastard concern-faces who are aiding and abetting paranoia and setting off the human time-bombs like the one who went gunnin' for the ACLU the other day.
---
Breitbart lies. I think that anyone believing anything out of his mouth without substantial fact-checking should probably have their head examined. Can we please remember this next time he attacks some juicy liberal target, and people around here come a-flocking to believe him?
---
Spot on! There is nothing worse than making false accusations and character assassination. There is a reason it is one of the ten commandments. It is considered a form of murder.
And..
I find myself not only on the same side as Maddow (shriek!)... but potentially, possible voting blue next presidential election. I've voted 100% red for a real long time.
From there the comments progressed down a dark path of repudiation and scorn much too profound for these hallowed pages.
But throughout it all the common thread stood clear, Maddow would not be allowed to walk away blameless from her reporting.
And so Mr Johnson followed up on his Exposé today with, "Maddow on Fox News and Shirley Sherrod". "Part 2".
And, again, the community erupted in a fervor. Shocked at the unmitigated gall and outraged with Mrs Maddow, they again took voice:
Rachel treats things like this so well. She expresses anger with firmness and not wildness.
"You did spell everything right, guys, so good job".
And as has already been said: I hope those of you who still felt there was really something to ACORN reconsider it in the light of what a con man Brietbart is.
---
Is FOX News really like this? Jesus Christ. It's like professional wrestling, but with less soul.
---
It is not just the utter stupidity of it. It is the utter contempt for the intellect that these people hold others in.
And..
Her strongest point is when she questions FOX News as a credible news source. That is because FOX News ran with the story without having all the facts at their disposal and without having verified Breibart's content.
But by no means did they intend to take down Mrs Maddow alone. They reserved special condemnation for the tiller of their ship:
We are living the beauty of New Media right now and over the last two days. Thanks to Captain Johnson for his stewardship. By being part of this community and being involved in the discussion and review, I feel like I'm actually doing something.
And then, finally, rock bottom:
TPM has a good piece about the guy who was gonna shoot up the "left wing" groups. Guess how he found out about these groups? Shocka! It's Glenn Beck.
I can't help but appreciate the transformation of LGF, it's founder and community and I can't help but stand in salute of the intensity and integrity displayed there.
In politics there is a requirement of a loyal opposition. But in politics today there is no loyalty and so no true opposition, as intended by the founders of our nation.
The Republicans have abdicated their responsibility, but in small, quiet pockets there remain those who can oppose without obstructing, seek justice without justification and do not, as first thought, turn from the light of truth.
I salute you, Charles. You and your Lizards, of whom I am proud to include myself.
You've come a long way, baby.
