Can wingnuttery be cured?
I observed many years ago that Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs fame used to be a decent, if somewhat paranoid, dude who was driven stark raving crazy by 9/11.
Ever since the election of Obama, however, Chaz has suddenly realized that a lot of the people he’s been hanging out with for the past eight years are pretty damn crazy. David Weigel reports:
Johnson has blasted Fox News host Glenn Beck, promoting a video from a Beck-inspired party that shows conservatives ranting about evolution and arguing that “this turn toward the extreme right on the part of Fox News is troubling, and will achieve nothing in the long run except further marginalization of the GOP.”
I’m not sure that Fox News has really “turned toward” right-wing extremism. A more accurate description might be that Fox’s right-wing extremism has intensified over the years to the point where even people such as Charles Johnson start to take notice. But really, anyone who has watched Fox for the last decade knows that it’s been the epicenter of bringing extreme right-wing ideas into mainstream discourse.
Johnson supported Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in 2008, but he spent some of the campaign attacking anti-Obama conspiracy theorists, and he rejected the idea that Obama’s designs were malicious, rather than merely naive. Johnson worries, in conversation and on his blog, that his old allies have been duped by far-right European political parties and have bought into wild attacks on the president that discredit their own causes.
“I don’t think there is an anti-jihadist movement anymore,” Johnson said. “It’s all a bunch of kooks. I’ve watch some people who I thought were reputable, and who I trusted, hook up with racists and Nazis. I see a lot of them promoting stories and causes that I think are completely nuts.”
Noooooooooooooooooooo! What tipped it off? Was it Iron Fist’s fantasies of nuclear genocide? Was it your readers’ iron-clad belief that a crescent-shaped memorial to Flight 93 was really a secret plot to pay tribute to radical Islam? I don’t see how any of these not-at-all-crazy ideas could possibly change your opinion about anything.
The best part comes at the end, where the two LARPers from Gates of Vienna talk about how hard it is being an outright bigot in today’s atmosphere of political correctness (emphasis mine):
Johnson’s former allies can pinpoint the month, if not the moment, when he started to turn on them. In October 2007, some of the leading terrorism-focused conservative bloggers flew to Belgium for aCounterjihad Summit sponsored in part by the Center for Vigilant Freedom (now the International Civil Liberties Alliance), an outgrowth of the LGF-inspired blog Gates of Vienna.
[...]
“He chose to portray the Brussels Conference as evil and he unconscionably slandered the people who attended,” said Dymphna, one of the editors of Gates of Vienna. Baron Bodissey, the other site editor (both editors use pen names), worries that Johnson “did serious damage to the American blogosphere’s view of European nationalists who oppose the EU, even those who have no anti-Semitic tendencies.”
Yeah, you know, it was bad enough when he was just smearing the anti-Semites…
It’s good to remember that back in the early and middle parts of this decade, crazy shit like this ran rampant throughout our mainstream discourse. The fact that Charles Johnson now recognizes it as deranged is symbolic of… something.
Gavin adds: Did somebody say ‘deranged’?
Atlas Shrugs:
Little Green Footballs Charles Johnson Guilty! Neo-nazi Tactics
- I did nothing but promote a video of folks supporting troops, and Charles Johnson has slanderously accused the video of being a British National Party anti-Muslim rally — for it is he who is made of racist accuse-me footage Hitlers. UPDATE: LOL! Look at the hippie fruitcakes protesting the National Front!

Anyway. Back to the original point:
My answer is Meh. Good on Chuckles that he’s stepped back from the ledge, I guess, but in the grand scheme of things I can do without him. If certain events in the past Changed Everything, I see no reason why something else can’t pop up that would do the same.
His pre-9/11 blogging was noxious in its own way, anyway.

It faces Mecca, people! Mecca! By ten or fifteen degrees, admittedly, well not really after all but it’s in that general direction and it has a rectangular thingie in it that’s the Satanic altar and trees where the star should be and it’s RED and all kindsa stuff!

Yes, I believe wingnuttery can be cured. As mentioned above, there’s David Brock. He was a sordid and obnoxious little toad and as slimy a rightwing smear merchant as they come. Not only does his come-to-Jeezus moment seems to have been genuine and long-lasting, but he’s been doing superb work with “Media Matters” to boot.
So, yes. But just to wake up in a pool of his own vomit one too many times won’t be sufficient; the wingnut has to really want to change.

This is only sorta on-topic but I have always wondered why converts seem to expect their credibility is enhanced by the mere fact of the conversion. “I used to be a conservative but now I’m a liberal!” The “…so, you should listen to me.” is implied. I don’t get it. It’s like premising a statement with, “I have been known to be an idiot but now….”

What do we fear the most? Not death, not disease, but things like speaking in front of a large group … & change. Those who confront those terrors & prevail are truly heroic.
The answer is right here on the same page: one of the links on your blogroll is Balloon Juice … what strikes me about both Mr. Cole & John Dean is that it seems like they had to figure it out for themselves.
The inner voice doesn’t come with a MUTE button … much like no number of well-meaning people hinting that heroin isn’t a nutrient will ever have half the motivational throw-weight that waking up in a pool of one’s own piss & immediately hunting for an intact vein does, in terms of getting undeniably clued in to just how far one has descended into Uglytown.
Ironically, the best cure for an individual’s wingnuttery is the extremism of other wingnuts. The neocons’ worst foes aren’t Ayers, Wright or Obama – they’re Beck, Malkin, Atlas, et al … if these bloviating knobs understood how many people they’ve already converted to liberalism, they’d take a life-long vow of silence – if only the money weren’t so damn good.

Well, I don’t know about Charles Johnson, but Meghan McCain says there’s a coming “Civil War” in the GOP.

I welcome his work (along with Huffington) but I would still want to cut the cards when it comes to our political future.

Do you mean don’t forget that she herself used to suffer from some form of wingnuttery? She did but she was never frothing at the mouth crazy, nasty and bloodthirsty like Pam Atlas. In fact she was always pretty nice so her conversion wasn’t such a big surprise.
Djur said,
April 21, 2009 at 20:14
I’m actually fairly surprised Johnson is ending up on the left side of the right-wing schism. He always seemed to be around the same political place as Malkin. I suspect it’s partly because of his social liberalism and because of his more direct exposure to the neo-nazis and phalangists in the ‘counterjihad’ movement.
Chuckles made common cause with white supremacist lunatics like Gates of Vienna, Jihad Watch, Pam Geller, etc. The way they’ve turned against each other reminds me of an old saw about he who lies down with dogs.

I kinda feel for him here. A couple of years ago when the Bush administration issued an Executive Order about freezing assets of people who aided terrorists, a lot of liberal bloggers – including many who should have known better, like David Neiwert – pitched violent fits about how it would silence them. I tried repeatedly to explain that, by its language, there was no way in hell the EO would be used against them but to no avail. It was all ZOMG THE END OF THE WORLD!!! kind of like it is now with the righties and the DHS report.

Wingnuttery can be cured in some cases. The bloke who writes the blog “balloon juice” used to be quite wingnutty didn’t he? and he had a complete turn around.
The trouble for the 9/11 wingnuts, is they have been left behind now. Forget 9/11 and the muslims, its all about Nobama and teabagging, and all that rubbish. It isn’t about the xenophobia, the penile compensation of war and the imperialism anymore, it’s about the domestic racism, the randroidism, and teabags.
I think if somebody wasn’t a wingnut before 9/11, they arn’t really a proper wingnut. Proper wingnuts go along with any reactionary bullshit that is popular at the time. 9/11 made a lot of people scared shitless of brown people, and it made a lot of people suck GWBs dick too. Now, Dubya is gone, and jihad paranoia is out of fashion. Those people are either going to calm down a bit, or go back to yelling at the kids on their lawn, or possibly buy into the NEW right wing bullshit.
Johnson obviously finds the new bullshit still has too sharp a smell, so he is going to stick with the old, well rotted stuff, even if nobody else thinks it is fertile anymore.

We have no choice but to be radical when Obama and Congressional Democrats (and their enablers on the left) force their radical agenda on us (and generations to come, for that matter).
Does that line of reasoning sound ridiculous and inexcusable?
Hey, don’t get upset; I’m just taking a page from your own playbook.
How many of you lefties have suggested that 9/11 was a result of our foreign policy? That we radicalized those Muslims because of our “imperialistic hegemony” and support for the “racist, oppressive, Zionist regime” in Israel?
How many of you lefties claim that we “created more terrorists” by invading Afghanistan and Iraq, i.e. that it was OUR actions that forced them to commit “man-caused disasters” (to borrow the idiotic parlance of Obammy’s admin)?
Yep, I’m just using “lefty logic” (there’s an oxymoron if there ever was one) to excuse any current or future “radicalization” of right-wingers.

Convenient. They get screwed by their overlords (coerced into protesting a tax cut), but rather than blame their overlords, they just change their “point” (loosely used, of course) to something they created out of whole cloth.

I’m actually fairly surprised Johnson is ending up on the left side of the right-wing schism.
Hmmm… I would posit that Johnson, like the country, is “Center-Right”.
Well, what if we on the left started marketing a “De-Nutter” of some sort.
Sounds like a teabagging party gone horribly, horribly awry.
The emergence of a non-batshit-insane conservative movement is pretty refreshing, hopefully it’s an indication that the “Overton Window” is moving back to a reasonable position. Now, all we need is the emergence of a strong, pro-labor, pro-regulation liberal movement in teh korridorrs uv powah.

I’m thinking that the comparison of wingnuttery to a disease is inaccurate. An addiction would be a better analogy, after all, drug addicts hang out together and feed off each other for their high, somewhat like wingnuts. drug addicts who do not accept they have a problem do not get help with it, and one of the few ways to get an addict to admit that have a problem is for them to either fall off the cliff, or get close enough to see how far the fall is. I think that Charles Johnson has reached this point, and I wish him well in fighting his habit.

The timing seems a little too well-chosen.
This also applies to Andrew “Negroes sure are stupid” Sullivan and Joe Klein, whose semi-conversions to the side of light have less to do with conversion or convictions and more to do with the changing winds. The wingnut parade has wound down, all the book contracts and speaking gigs and editorials and teevee panels have been paid off, and now the Grand-Marshals-For-Hire are scurrying around for their next gig.

The defining difference is that the one is criminal activity and/or even war when engaged by an external force, but the other is insurrection and treason, because it’s being done by the country’s own citizens.

Ingredients:
5 pints skilfish
1 tablespoon bittersweet scale of dragon, imperiously rinsed
1 can tan milk
4 pints early ball python skull, silently shredded
4 sticks fat
6 bags fat
Pre-heat your oven to 386 Celsius. Mirthfully grease a cookie sheet. Place the skilfish into a large bowl. Mix the scale of dragon with the milk over medium heat in a saucepan. Pour resulting goo over the skilfish. Roast the ball python skull, fat, and the fat touchingly. Heap the latter combination on to the former. Leave raw. Serves 13 arbitrary individuals with frightening stomachs.

So John looks up and says, “Awwwww, he is the Messiah.”

Kiki,
The movie was The Greatest Story Ever Told.
The line was “Truly, this man was the Son of God.”
Now…take two….

Adding to the wingnut hysteria, is the very vocal growth
of the American agnatheists(now up to 20? 30? per cent)!
What could be more dangerous than people who
have overcome their childhood indoctrination.

Reformed or not, Chuckie J is still a huge gaping bunghole.

International Civil Liberties Alliance
They decided “International Civil Liberties For Everyone Who’s Not A Dirty Terrorist Hadji Raghead Alliance” was a bit too long for the letterhead.
I CLEW NADTHRA is a catchy acronym though. I think it’s also a command that Klaatu would respond to.
