Spring blogger squabbles?

It seems both the UK & the US are embroiled in blogosphere pissing contests between leading bloggers. In the UK its over the Labour smear campaign that has embroiled some of the top political blogs in the UK. The Telegraph tries to sort through the mess. Not exactly surprising as Labour has never really grasped the blogosphere and are obviously worried by it.

On the other side of the pond we have a squabble between Charles "Little Green Footballs Johnson" and pretty much the rest of the anti-Jihad blogosphere Including Jihadwatch's Robert Spencer, Atlas Shrugs and most anyone else you care to mention. Poligazette attempts to crack the nut and urge it to end. Much of it depends on where you fall on the Geert Wilders issue, Johnson is not a fan, and the rest of them are, including myself.

If the Dutch don't want Geert:

Geert Wilders for Head of the UN and the Hague BOTH at the same time!

He'd knock heads and get something useful out of the chuckleheads since we seem to still be stuck with the blue helmets lollygagging around and sticking their noses where they don't belong.

We don't have any decent upcoming Texas Governor candidates either. Maybe we can get him to migrate to our wide-open and mostly islamonutter-free spaces?

A man can dream, can't he?

Little Green Footballs used to be the first blog I visited each day.

Then Charles began his war with other blogs, like Gates of Vienna.

With him, it is about his ego.

He is right, you can't make alliances with the fascist right, but none of the groups or individuals seemed to be that far right.

While Charles Johnson is extremely talented and smart, he is undone by arrogance.

Thus, he is now at the bottom of my blog list and I seldom, if ever visit LGF anymore.
