And the wingnuts at "little green footballs" are opposed to this? That's the shock, right there...this was the guy who stuck it to Dan Rather.

I guess the guy running that blog has had a slight change of heart--if Wikipedia is right on this score...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Green_Footballs

LGF was one of four sources, along with the Power Line and Allahpundit blogs and the Free Republic discussion forum, who conducted the initial investigation of Dan Rather's assertions on 60 Minutes that the Killian documents were genuine.

[edit]Charitable contributions
Little Green Footballs supporters have helped raise thousands of dollars for Spirit of America's "Friends of Iraq Blogger Challenge".[15][16] Supporters also donate pizzas for IDF soldiers.[17] In the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Katrina several registered users also offered their direct services donating and transporting goods to the hardest hit, inviting contributions from other readers.[18] Johnson also posted a number of links to charitable efforts [19][20] and thanked his readers for their response.[21]

[edit]Pajamas Media
Main article: Pajamas Media
In late 2005 Johnson, along with blogger and author Roger L. Simon launched a news site called Pajamas Media (briefly called Open Source Media) featuring mostly conservative and libertarian bloggers and journalists (e.g., Michelle Malkin, Glenn Reynolds, Michael Barone, Tammy Bruce, John Podhoretz, Michael Ledeen, Cathy Seipp) with some liberal participants (e.g., David Corn, Marc Cooper). The name refers to Jonathan Klein's comment about bloggers working in their pajamas.

As of 15 September 2009, Johnson has removed all links to Pajamas Media sites [22] from Little Green Footballs.
