Here’s part one of my video interview with Richard Metzger, at Dangerous Minds: Charles Johnson: Why I Parted Ways with the Right. (I’m sending you to Richard’s site instead of posting the video here, because there’s lots of other interesting stuff there too…)
It’s odd reading all these articles about me, all of a sudden, and even odder to read the blog posts. Kind of like seeing movies about yourself written from hundreds of different viewpoints, some of them taking the angle that you’re the most despicable creature to walk the earth since ...

After the New York Times Magazine article a lot of wingnut blogs are coming up with imaginative new smears tonight, but I’m grateful for the positive words from Alan Colmes: Little Green Footballs’s Charles Johnson And The Right-Wing Flame War.

I have a few more points to make in response to Jonathan Dee’s article about me in the New York Times. (Then I’ll drop it, I promise.) First, one assertion Dee makes is actually checkable: L.G.F. still has more than 34,000 registered users, but the comment threads are dominated ...

Shrieking harpy said what? “He’s a traitor, a turncoat, a plant. We may not know for years what actually happened.” Insert sigh. I have a few significant disagreements with the angle taken by Jonathan Dee in his profile for the New York Times, most of all his willingness to accept ...

The Huffington Post has a piece about James Rainey’s interview with me in the Los Angeles Times, focusing on threats I’ve received recently: Charles Johnson Got Threats After Breaking With Right, Relocated.

James Rainey interviewed me several days ago for this piece in the Los Angeles Times: A blogger’s parting with the right. Johnson’s posting on Nov. 30, “Why I Parted Ways with The Right,” created a maelstrom in some corners of the blogosphere and the Twitterverse. Onetime hyperlinking pals have ...

My interview with Erik Kain has been getting a fair amount of attention; Erik emailed to let me know it was linked by Fark.com and other high-traffic sites. Going by Tweetdeck’s search results, there was some Twittering too. Andrew Sullivan linked to it at Daily Dish, with these comments about ...

Bob Owens and Roger L. Simon have a video interview with Fred Thompson: Pajamas Media: War on Terror Conversations.
I have to admit, I had not heard of novelist Vince Flynn or his character Mitch Rapp before reading this interview, but he sounds like an LGF kind of lizard. Q: How can we win the war on terrorism when many cannot acknowledge who the enemy is? A: That’s ...

Here’s another interview with Ayaan Hirsi Ali from Danish TV, November 16, 2005. This one is powerful stuff, as Ms Ali refuses to back down from some of her more “controversial” statements. (Hat tip: Sugiero.) [Video] UPDATE at 5/10/06 11:08:11 am: If the video won’t play for you by clicking ...
