I’m privileged to announce that Andrew Breitbart has added me to his list of everyone in the world who must immediately bow before his might and retract, retract, retract: Retraction Requests: Charles Johnson, Big Journalism. Breitbart seems to believe I should retract my statement that the 2006 event titled “Race and ...

Andrew Breitbart has turned his “Big Journalism” website into an amazingly lengthy tirade demanding “retractions” from practically every media organization in America, for writing about the Max Blumenthal-One People’s Project report that claimed ACORN sting filmmaker James O’Keefe was photographed at a “white supremacist forum” in 2006. There have been some ...

A barn-burner performance of “Philosophy” from the first eponymous Ben Folds Five album. This song helped me through some hard times, and it packs a powerful message.

Since I began to break ranks with the right wing noisemakers, I’ve been receiving an average of five hate mails every single day, often more. Sometimes it’s the same person over and over. Once someone sent me more than three dozen emails in about 10 minutes before I blocked his IP ...

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. Charles Johnson is a true original, his knowledge of code ...

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. Some conservative readers were apparently not pleased with Johnson’s critique. In a profile of Johnson, the LA Times ...

Just when you think the Evil Christmas Tree Scandal might be subsiding (along with Bowgates One and Two, Queen-touching-gate, Children-Indoctrination-gate, Shopping-trip-gate, Plagiarized-painting-gate, and all the other goofy wingnut-gates), Christopher Knight uncovers another diabolical scheme from the Usurper in Chief and his diabolical wife: The Great Christmas Ornament Scandal, Part 2. ...

Here we have our traditional Christmas Day open thread, with turkey, corn bread stuffing, gravy, corn, peas, mashed potatoes, candied yams, creamed spinach, green salad with arugula (elitist!) and red onions, baked ham, and pumpkin pie with whipped cream for dessert. I’m getting comatose already.

It’s a wonderful feeling to be able to inspire creativity in people, and this tribute by some right wing admirers is a great example. This must have taken some time and effort to produce! Truly I am blessed, to be such a large influence on their lives. [Video] Thanks for the plug, ...

Remember when RNC chairman Michael Steele criticized Rush Limbaugh, then was forced to back down and issue a groveling apology to the true head of the Republican Party? Well, Steele has completed his reeducation programming, and is now spouting craziness just like any Limbaugh supporter, accusing the Obama administration of being ...

Here’s a great editorial at Long Island’s The Jewish Star, responding to my post about “Why I Parted Ways with the Right:” Editorial: Losing the right to be Right.

Since a whole lot of right-wingers gleefully trumpeted George Monbiot’s article in which he called for CRU head Phil Jones to resign, I wonder if they’ll be equally eager to promote his latest article — which documents the enormous amounts of money the climate denial industry is spending to trick ...

Anti-Muslim blogger Robert Spencer is at it again, with yet another rant about me, full of insults, vicious hatred, and completely dishonest claims: When libelblogger and CAIR tool Charles Johnson began to betray all his principles and sling wild false accusations at his former friends and associates, I knew it ...

Associated Press writer H. Josef Hebert has an interesting piece about the importance of nuclear power in the debate over global warming, not just as a technical means to generate power without CO2 emissions, but as a political bargaining chip. The industry’s long-standing campaign to rebrand itself as green is ...
