There are two stories on the front, one about a Georgia racist with a racist billboard against Obama's health care bill and another story about Sarah Palin's book being ghostwritten by a buddy of a white supremacist.

2. It is not just you
He hasn't actually moved all that much. The rest of his contemporaries have moved further right. They have rejected him, and made him quite aware he wasn't welcome anymore due to insufficient wingnuttiness. He has moved a bit to the center, but definitely not anywhere near the left. I have him on my "favorites" list just as I have Andrew Sullivan over at The Atlantic. Both are fiscal conservatives, not social conservatives. They always have something interesting to say.

3. God didn't make Little Green Footballs
and it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime.

I think somebody was talking about this a few weeks ago, that the owner has moved to the center and kicked off some writers that were further to the right.

5. I think the birthers pushed him over the edge...
LGF had some of the best commentary on the 9/12 rally and I think he was kind of disowned by the right-wing blogosphere because of it. He's in the same area as Sullivan now.

6. Something is going on over there
They are all over the birthers and the town hall disrupters. Noticed a move to the center about 6 months ago.

11. I think it had some big arguments with European racists
It (or he, I don't know how much it's a group, or a person) pointed out some of the anti-Muslim stuff in Europe that some in the American right were enthusiastic about was deeply racist; and the nuttier American RWers said "we don't care, we hate them all", and there was a bit of a split. I don't think you can call it centrist yet, but it seems to have taken a stand against racism.
