The opening as it read in 2010
Little Green Footballs ( LGF ) is an American political blog run by web designer Charles Johnson . Media observers in the United States long described the site as " right wing ", but since 2007, the site's emphasis has changed, such that "LGF has become better known for the various fights it picks with many on the right." Johnson stated in 2006: I'm not pretending I'm giving equal time to both sides. But I do think what I'm advocating, and what I believe in, is the right side. More recently, in 2009, he has claimed that: I don’t think there is an anti-jihadist movement anymore... It’s all a bunch of kooks. I’ve watched 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. Earlier, after the September 11, 2001 attacks , Johnson - who has described himself as "pretty much center-left before 9/11" - transformed his blog's discussion of bicycle racing , programming , web design , and the occasional humorous news item into a very active discussion of the War on Terror , Islam & Islamism , Eurabia and the Arab-Israeli conflict . LGF won the "Best Israel Advocacy Blog" award from the Jerusalem Post in 2005. According to Gil Ronen, a reporter for Internet news outlet, Israel National News : If anyone ever compiles a list of Internet sites that contribute to Israel’s public relations effort, Johnson's site will probably come in first, far above the Israeli Foreign Ministry's site. In the United States , LGF is perhaps best known for playing a key role in raising doubts about the authenticity of the Killian documents regarding President George W. Bush , which preceded the resignation of CBS 's Dan Rather . The site won the Washington Post ' s reader poll for Best International Blog in November 2004 and played a role in bringing attention to altered photographs in the Adnan Hajj photographs controversy . In July 2008, LGF identified that photographs of Iran's missile test had been altered, and was credited by much of the media for this.
