'Ridiculous homophobic . . . nonsense'

A commenter sent me a screen-cap of a post Charles Johnson put up last week, citing Media Matters (click to enlarge):

If you’re tempted to buy into the ridiculous homophobic "fistgate" nonsense currently all over the right wing blogs, trying to take down Obama education czar Kevin Jennings in a smear campaign right out of the McCarthy era, please read this: Anti-gay 'hate group' MassResistance is source for right-wing media attacks on Jennings . . .
Hate groups like Mass Resistance are now being promoted by Jim Hoft and Michelle Malkin and the rest of the right wing blogosphere -- out and out homophobic bigots from the Dark Ages.

Note CJ's pretzel-logic: Because MassResistance has been labeled a "hate group," anything they report should be considered "nonsense," and anyone who cites their reports is a "homophobic bigot." Nevertheless, you should ignore the potential for bias in CJ's left-wing sources: Media Matters and the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Oh, and of all people to write about "a smear campaign right out of the McCarthy era" . . Charles Johnson?

CJ to claim that I am attacking him in 3, 2, 1 . . .

UPDATE: Rusty at Jawa Report says:
Look, we're no prudes around here. We like hot lesbian teacher posts as much as any one.
Right, but it's a different thing if you make "hot lesbian teacher posts" part of the public-school curriculum, as GLSEN evidently wants to do. Meanwhile, Jim Hoft at Gateway Pundit says:
If you have a nasty sexual fetish and want to teach it to children, don’t worry -- Media Matters is there to defend you!
Media Matters had now done 27 reports in defense of GLSEN. It's like they were trolling for random Google traffic on "fisting" or something.
