   You can follow the history of this brouhaha here.  Scary, but still amusing.

   Defaming Neo-Nazis is not incompatible with Charles Johnson’s LGF focus, which really specializes in Islamophobia, another type of bigotry.

   Johnson is a proIsrael Republican hawk and his site is well known for antiMuslim, antiArab, and antiPalestinian tripe-ish propaganda and stereotypes. His name for Arafat was Arafish represented by a fishy cartoon.

     I suppose it is possible to defame neo-Nazis, but why bother when you can just describe them as they are.

   one of my favorite pieces of lgf nostalgia: george bush as the loutish boyfriend.

   first the setup: a proud and faithful little bushie, in a moment of despair, goes all emo on the decider and pours out his disillusionment, upper lip all a-tremble, in a poignant dear george letter posted at a certain popular hardcore wingnut watering hole …

   i’m no longer a president bush supporter
   heres a copy of an email i just sent to the white house.

   mr president

   i have fought for you tooth and nail untill now. but following your support for the government of UAE to own and operate our ports, i can no longer support you.

   in this war on terror, you have just set us back further than any gains we have made up till now.

   while i supported you i was a proud boisterous supporter. now i feel betrayed and sickened. you hand the keys to our country to the as sick brother of our enemy. hundreds of thousands if not hundreds of millions will suffer for this error you have made.

   you gave the keys to the equally deranged brother of our enemy, and for this i can no longer support you as my president.

   you cant undo this sir. its symbolic of something about you that i can no longer trust. and my heart is absolutley broken.

   you were my first president. the first person for whom i ever voted. i have a feeling you dont care about those like me who have fought tooth and nail to support you. i think now you will try to shame us into accepting and supporting this horrible decision. it wont work sir, we are running away from you at a speed much greater than the power you have to explain this one away.

   i would ask you to reverse your decision to sell our ports to our enemy, but i doubt you would listen.

   my president is not the friend of americas enemies

   remember portgate? after using the war on terror to cynically stoke joe sixpack’s most xenophobic fears, bush attempts to sell u.s. port management to the mongol hordes of dubai. can you say “blowback”? much hilarity ensues.

   anyway, back to mascara-streaked danny. his post was yanked by his never-overly-sympathetic host, under threat of banishment from the blog. let’s go to lgf voyeurs lgfwatch for his cruel catty smackdown:

   possibly the funniest thing i’ve read all weekend. this is a joke, right. “you were my first president.” jeez, kid, sorry you had to break yer preznit cherry on this guy, but it’s sure interesting that this is what sent you over the edge.

   the first step, as bush himself knows all too well, is admitting that you have a problem. go with god on that, justdanny.

   mmm … good times.
