An Oct. 11 MRC TimesWatch post by Clay Waters critiques the New York Times’ profile of anti-Islam blogger (and former Newsmax columnist) Pam Geller by complaining that the article quoted a former Geller ally, Little Green Footballs blogger Charles Johnson.
After noting Johnson’s statement in the article that Geller is “enabling a real bigotry” through her venomous screeds, Waters writes: “Times Watch isn’t sure the point of the above, given that blogger Charles Johnson has washed his hands of the right and has no allies or credibility among conservatives.”
Why does it matter what other conservatives think of Johnson? Is his opinion any less valid now that he’s no longer as extreme as Geller? Waters doesn’t explain.
Waters concluded by touting how Geller issued a “typically take-no-prisoners response” to the Times article on her blog.
And the MRC proves once again that it has exempted itself from its own “Tell the Truth!” campaign.
