- The Denial of Service attack that hit the Hosting Matters system last night and took down LGF, Instapundit, and many other blogs, was directed at Aaron Weisburd's Internet Haganah by a group of Al Qaeda-affiliated web sites. Here is Weisburd's explanation of what happened and why: Al Qaeda Internet attack .
Registered user Weisburd says that the attacks were carried out by supporters of a number of Al Qaida-affiliated forums registered to Saudis and running in Malaysia who declared an online "Jihad" against the Haganah blog. The result was that the sites dropped offline, and four of them remain offline.
Although the blog has been called conservative, some say that Johnson was "a leftist until he got mugged by September 11." Blog poster "Bleeding heart conservative" says that LGF reflects "reality and pragmatism to bend to the occasional aspiration to idealism, and protects us simultaneously from utopian fruitlessness," and asks why such an approach should have no place on the left.
Charles Johnson coined the term "idiotarian."
