Cathy Seipp Gets LGF

• Views: 1,602

Thanks to Cathy Seipp for her much-appreciated words of support at National Review Online, responding to a hit piece on yours truly that appeared in Los Angeles magazine: Catherine Seipp: Los Locos.

What really irritates me is Smith’s received wisdom about Pajamas Media partner Charles Johnson, the Los Angeles web designer and jazz musician who famously typed up those CBS “memos” into Microsoft Word for his megablog Little Green Footballs. “Constitutionally protected hate speech,” Smith calls LGF.

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.

This “hate speech” is doggedly pointing out what regularly gets done in the name of Islam, Religion of Peace. One of Charles’s first posts returning to this theme after Rathergate, for instance, was a link to a story about a Bangladesh madrassah teacher who chopped off the ears of 17 students for not reading their textbooks loudly enough.

If that makes him a racist hater, then I suppose Ayaan Hirsi Ali, the Somali refugee and Dutch politician whose campaign against Islam’s mistreatment of women means she now needs round-the-clock armed protection, is also a racist hater.

At least R. J. Smith didn’t speculate that Charles Johnson is a drunk racist hater.
