In one of the weirder cases of hysteria about the satirical "Obama Thesis" piece that took the right wing by storm yesterday, Little Green Footballs has resorted to attacking an autistic student.
Apparently, this began with Little Green Footballs attacking the site that the satire had originated from. As a result, a surge of insults against the bloggers that run the site took place, and specifically singled out an autistic student.
As a result, Jumping in Pools, the site being attacked, asked the comments to refrain from attacking their friend. They also asked the site to take the comments that attacked him down. This elicited a response from Charles Johnson, founder of Little Green Footballs, to call the autistic person a "brain-damaged freak."
In response, Jumping in Pools asked Johnson to retract his statement; instead, he refused and has continued to stand by his words.
Regardless of right or wrong, this is definitely one of the oddest spats that any bloggers have gotten into.
