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].
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".
