Props to a Right Winger

Charles Johnson of LGF disassociates himself from the raving right, declaring those who support secular fascism^*", those who support Christo-fascism^†, those who promote bigotry and white supremacy^‡, the anti-science right^§, the homophobic right^æ, anti-government loonies^ß, hateful conspiracy nuts^Ø, the frothing at the mouth right wing blogosphere^Æ, anti-Islamic bigots^±, and insane Obama Haters^¥.

What is more interesting than this essay, which, after all, is not the first such essay against the insanity of the far right from a member of the not-so-far right, are the comments, which are generally supportive, and rather thoughtful, so the reader of Little Green Footballs deserve some credit here too.

One interesting bit of meta, as Mr. Johnson notes, is that he got a spike in traffic from his post, even though it was something that he, "wrote it in about three minutes last night."

That's always the way. The stuff that you feel is pearls of wisdom is largely ignored, and the stuff that you throw away gets the nod....File it under hoocoodanode.
