Main Page | See live article | Alphabetical index Little Green Footballs is a conservative political weblog edited by a California graphic designer named Charles Johnson. Little Green Footballs mostly concerns middle-eastern affairs and terrorism with occasional mention of bicycle sports. On Thursday, October 16, 2003 Little Green Footballs was subjected to a Denial of Service Attack along with other sites on the Hosting Matters system. The entire Hosting Matters system went down for a few hours. Charles Johnson writes The Denial of Service attack that hit the Hosting Matters system last night and took down LGF, Instapundit, and many other blogs, was directed at Aaron Weisburd’s Internet Haganah [1] by a group of Al Qaeda-affiliated web sites. Here is Aaron’s explanation of what happened and why: Al Qaeda Internet attack [1]. Registered user Aaron says that the attacks were carried out by supporters of a number of Al Qaida-affiliated forums registered to Saudis and running in Malaysia who declared an online "Jihad" against the Haganah blog. The result was that the sites dropped offline, and four of them remain offline. Although the blog has been called conservative, some say that Johnson was "a leftist until he got mugged by September 11". Charles Johnson coined the term "idiotarian".
