Revision as of 17:43, 9 June 2004
Little Green Footballs is a conservative, pro-Israel, political weblog edited by a California graphic designer named Charles Johnson. Little Green Footballs mostly concerns Middle Eastern affairs and terrorism (with an emphasis on Palestinian terrorism), with occasional mention of bicycle sports and space news.
Little Green Footballs evolved over the years. Originally, it was a blog on computing with some humorous news items. After the September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attacks, LGF became a became a warblog. Johnson was a professional guitarist who accompanied top jazz artists like Al Jarreau both onstage and in the studio for many years. In the 1980s, he was one of the first computer programmers to code for the Atari.
On Thursday, October 16, 2003, Little Green Footballs was subjected to a Denial of Service attack along with other sites on the Hosting Matters system for a few hours.
Although the blog has been called conservative, some say that Johnson was "a leftist until he got mugged by September 11."
Charles Johnson coined the term "idiotarian."
Although Little Green Footballs has a very dedicated following, it has a tendency to attract comments by extreme, even genocidal Islamophobes, and has therefore often been accused of fascism and racism (see external links). This charge is disputed by the blog's extremely loyal supporters.
