IndyMedia Cheap Shots

I don't spend much time, if any, scanning the IndyMedia message boards. Just not enough good stuff to counter out the absolute BS, in my opinion.

But while looking over at Wizbang today, I saw where Kevin had noted an attack on Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs.

LGF was one of the first blogs I ever read, although lately I've kind of slacked on reading it. Sometimes I think Charles goes a little too far out there, but this IndyMedia post is just way too much.

The author (Moonbat?) shows a complete lack of taste and/or tact. There are lines of civility that shouldn't be crossed and this guy crossed quite a few.

Does it reach the point of libel? I don't know. I'll leave it to the lawyers to figure that one out. I just know that it reached the absolute depths of tastelessness - even by nutcase standards.

The worst part of this: no one has pulled the post yet. One of the moderators should have noticed the deceit in the byline and the questionable nature of the post and should have in good conscious pulled it.

This is not journalism, not by any stretch of the imagination. IndyMedia should have had no qualms about pulling it.
