There was some snark in comments concerning Charles Johnson, not to be unexpected. I answered with a comment that I think is worth repeating:
What I think is most important about him is that as a 9/11 conservative he is exactly the kind of person we want supporting the troops, opposing Radical Islam and backing Israel. It is the person who would normally be liberal on social issues that needed to be convinced.
30 Years ago he would be a “Scoop Jackson” democrat. Regardless of if you think he is right or wrong about Stacy McCain (I suspect he is wrong and it’s my nature to take a man’s word on a subject.) It is much more important to the country and the world to have as many liberals with us in the fight that matters.
“The fight that matters” of course being the fight against Radical Islam.
In terms of the Tea Party stuff as someone who has attended one I have a simple suggestion: Charles is like myself a Computer guy, computer guys are If/Then guys by nature.
As I’ve mentioned I don’t know Charles personally but I understand Stephen Green does. That being the case the solution is pretty easy.
Although the DC tea party was the largest it is certainly not going to be the last. I would suggest that Steven invite Charles as his guest to the next one he is attending. Let him meet the people there. If he see’s what I saw I think his mind might change, but he will have to actually see it.
I can’t see him refusing. After all it would for Charles be the change to personally affirm what he has stated.
Hey it’s worth a shot.
