Bloggers once again draw the attention of CAIR


The story that started it all.

Now it appears that the St. Louis reporter who reported on it along using a CAIR press release has decided to go after Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs fame.

CAIR, an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundations charity terror trial, once again is enlisting the aide of the FBI to investigate Charles and others who dared call attention to this huge monstrosity of a cell phone tower, er, prayer tower being erected in St Louis.

This story has its share drama with Mr. Johnson at the center of the storm and the reporter from the St Louis Post-Dispatch now getting personal.

Now why the reporter decided to single out Little Green Footballs is a mystery (the paper also mentioned Gateway Pundit) This certainly isn't the first time Charles has found himself the center of attention and I am sure he will be fine.

If anything, it only further points to the growing influence blogs are gaining while their Mass Market Media predecessors continue to lose ther audience. The one possible reason for targeting these two is because their names are well-known, unlike somebody like me who tries to protect my identity to a certain degree.
