re: #175 Charles Johnson

Of course - that’s what makes this ridiculous. Nothing was ever planted by Killgore Trout, he used his own name and made it clear what he was doing and why, and even more to the point - I didn’t put him up to it, or plan it with him. If he’d asked before getting all up in it, in fact, I would have advised against it.

It was kind of an obnoxious stunt, but it certainly got their attention. Hot Air tightened up their moderation a little after that, a tacit admission that KT had a point. The overt racism problem on right wing blogs was getting out of control.

And it’s only gotten worse since then.

Agreed. It was stupid but it did produce results. I did provide the wingnuts with a scapegoat for all the racist comments on their websites but they would have claimed false flag anyways. There was a time when the Koskidz used to accuse me of planting anti-semitic diaries too. Idiots always find someone else to blame to avoid dealing with the real problems.
