This heartening note of support was posted today by Victor Davis Hanson at a site to which I won’t link, because they feature the writing of white supremacist blogger Robert Stacy McCain. Little Green What? Some bloggers sent me postings the other day about Charles Johnson’s Little Green ...

The Washington Post has an open letter from Sarah Palin’s attorney (PDF), threatening to sue Alaskan blogger Shannyn Moore and several media sources: To the extent several websites, most notably liberal Alaska blogger Shannyn Moore, are now claiming as “fact” that Governor Palin resigned because she is “under federal ...

Mickey Kaus has posted a leaked series of emails from that (no longer) secret mailing list for journalists and left-wing bloggers, and it’s every bit as bad as you might have imagined; this exchange is titled: “BREAKING: Marty Peretz is a Crazy-Ass Racist.” These are the captains of media, throwing ...

Politico’s Michael Calderone has an article about a secretive discussion list on which mainstream journalists, selected left-wing bloggers, and academics figure out talking points and coordinate strategies: JournoList: Inside the echo chamber. For the past two years, several hundred left-leaning bloggers, political reporters, magazine writers, policy wonks and academics ...

New York Times columnist David Brooks wakes up, looks around, and says, “Hey, what happened?” Op-Ed Columnist - A Moderate Manifesto - NYTimes.com. Those of us who consider ourselves moderates — moderate-conservative, in my case — are forced to confront the reality that Barack Obama is not who we ...
I’ve posted this many times in LGF comments, but with the increasing extremism of the so-called “anti-jihad movement,” it’s time to make it a front page post. If you argue that it’s vitally necessary to deport the entire Muslim population of the United States, you are ADVOCATING MASS MURDER. Yes, ...
A classic mainstream media moment, brought to you by UPI: Boy’s death on video is a fake, blog says - UPI.com. But IsraelINN.com said Charles Johnson’s U.S. blog Little Green Fields uncovered several alleged discrepancies... Layers upon layers of fact-checking!

Dave at Israellycool has uncovered a case of lizard larceny, a sleazy marketing site (and referrer spammer) that’s using our copyrighted Lizard Lounge graphic as their logo. Here’s the spammer, and this is his first notice to remove our graphic.
The Palestinian Fatah group takes a page from the Barack Obama campaign’s Web 2.0 book, and lets anyone start a WordPress blog in the fateh.net domain: You can have your own Fatah blog!
Rupert Murdoch says the mainstream media has become contemptuous of its audience: Murdoch to media: You dug yourself a huge hole. To make his point, Murdoch criticized the media reaction after bloggers debunked a “60 Minutes” report by former CBS anchor, Dan Rather, that President Bush had evaded service ...

Remember when former CBS executive Jonathan Klein dismissed bloggers as “guys in their pajamas?” Join me now as I savor the sweet, sweet, full-circle irony. [Video] Of course, as I said in 2004, I never wear pajamas. So I’m sure she wasn’t talking about me.
CBS lawyers are scoffing at Dan Rather’s idiotic lawsuit, which claims that CBS’s independent investigation was a “sham.” Dan Rather’s conspiracy theories about CBS make about as much sense as a two-story outhouse, the network says. Rather and his old bosses were facing off in Manhattan Supreme Court yesterday, ...

Oh no. Dean Barnett, 1967-2008. I’ve linked to Dean’s work often here, and spoken to him several times. The last time we talked, he invited me to contribute to the Weekly Standard. He was one of the nicest, most genuine guys I’ve ever met, and an excellent writer. I’m stunned ...
In the kind of sloppy, childish rhetoric that passes for deep thinking on the left, Mary Mapes—the discredited, fired partisan hack who tried to tilt the last presidential election with fraudulent documents—gloats that the Republican Monster is Dying. Ha, ha. Nothing makes me happier than seeing once swaggering players ...

Sure, I could make a joke about this story, but why bother? It’s perfect just the way it is: Rather covers election for French TV. PARIS — Former CBS star reporter Dan Rather has been tapped by French pay TV group Canal Plus to cover the U.S. presidential election. ...

The media keep hammering away at the “ugly incidents” at McCain-Palin rallies, but oddly they fail to notice stuff like this at the official Barack Obama blog site: Barack Obama and Joe Biden: The Change We Need | Rhiannon-Marie Volpe. This is a Google cache link, because the picture of ...

Dean Barnett is in trouble tonight, and he could use a few prayers (even from you godless atheists). My friend Duane “Generalissimo” Patterson tells me that Dean has had to be admitted to the hospital and is currently in the ICU with a terrible attack of his cystic fibrosis, ...
I just learned about a Firefox add-on called Speed Dial, that lets you set Firefox to automatically load a certain web page over and over at specified intervals, presumably to keep up with what’s going on in semi-real time. This is known as a very bad idea—one of those bad ...
Kudos to Rusty Shackleford and Aaron Weisburd for scaring the jihadis enough to make the mainstream media notice: Web problems hit release of al Qaeda 9/11 video. Some suspected they had been targeted by hackers. India’s Hindustan Times pointed the finger at intelligence websites that track militant sites on ...
I think it’s supposed to be an honor to be on this list of the 50 Buzziest Blog Posts of All Time, but Nerve.com’s description of the Rathergate affair amounts to a really dumb conspiracy theory. 3. “Bush Guard Documents: Forged” 9/9/04 Sure, this post helped give us four ...

The Middle East Media Research Institute has released a handy little “widget” that can be embedded in a blog template: The MEMRI Widget. It would be installed here, except that I don’t usually put in external stuff that might affect the page loading speed; and the RSS feeds for the ...

Yes, it’s another science thread, a hybrid post if you will, as web technology visualizes the connections among political blogs: PresidentialWatch08 - Map. (Takes a little while to load.) (Hat tip: AP, who got it from Karl.)
