LGF hate figure: William Arkin

Charles Johnson likes fundamentalist Christians who rant about a holy war against Islam - especially if they are in a position to initiate one, like top US 'terror fighter' Gen. Boykin. As a result. Mr Johnson doesn't like William Arkin (http://littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/?entry=8655_Who_Is_William_Arkin), the man who exposed the little-known fact of Boykin's religious zealotry to the world. And he also doesn't like him because Arkin works for the LA Times. Mr Johnson doesn't like anyone at the LA Times.
According to Johnson, Arkin "is a far left anti-military activist". That description is perhaps a tad uncorrect, in view of the fact that Arkin was himself a soldier and continues to speak to the US military. As for him being far-left, well, anything left of Mussolini seems to be far-left to Johnson, so that ad hominem is kind of superfluous. We know that everyone you don't like is "far-left" Charles. Far, far left. And that is BAD, right? Left is BAD.

The world can be so simple sometimes...
