Charles Johnson started out as a center-left techblogger who mostly blogged about web design; I sometimes read his site then. 9/11 drove him mad and he let his site turn into a far-right xenophobic cesspit. Now he's having his come-to-Jesus moment.
This happened earlier to John Cole of Balloon Juice, who now sounds like a pugnacious antiwar liberal. Cole's transformation was what made me conclude that the later you turn against the Republicans and/or Bush, the madder you are. This seems to be a confirming data point.
