There has been a purge of Conservatives/Libertarians over at the Radical Totalitarian Progressive Blog: Little Green Footballs. The blog, which was once a place where the Right was welcomed, used to focus on islamo-Fascism and the Liberal Loony left. Now it has become part of the Transnational Totalitarian Progressive Machine. The blog owner, washed up jazz guitarist Charles “Icarus” Johnson, is openly supporting the Neo-Fascist organization named Colors of Change. This totalitarian group is trying to have Glenn Beck banned and Charles is supporting them.

Color of Change is a group I probably wouldn’t agree with very much, but for this campaign to make Glenn Beck’s advertisers aware of what they’re supporting, they get a big thumbs up from me. This is the consequence of the irresponsible hate speech that Beck spews on his show.
This comment alone reveals the totalitarian and fascist nature of Progressives. They seek to silence all that oppose them. It is bad enough that Charles bans posters for flimsy reasons, but he also seeks to silence in real life those whose views he doesn’t like.
The purge that is occurring was leaked and one of our regular commentators, Speranza, found out and warned us.

re: #7 by Iron Fist
I heard through the grapevine that a major purge is in the works over at LGF 1.0.
He was right and since this announcement many have been banned and some like Island Libertarian, Iron Fist, Coldwarrior and others have come here to freely express their Rightwing views. I welcome all who are banned from LGF here and appreciate their input. To the remaining Conservatives/Libertarians, you are welcomed here and will enjoy the company of old friends.
I am focused on the evil nature of the Progressive Movement and it is good that posters here see that threat as well. Charles can run his blog his way, it is his playground. However, he is stepping over the line by advocating silencing Glenn Beck and others he disagrees with. His banning on dubious grounds just reinforces my point that Progressives can’t stand dissent and debate. That is the only reason I write about Icarus. He has joined the Progressive machine and that makes him a fair target.
That blog should be renamed Liberal Green Losers!
This is also an Open thread.

His Consulting Business must be floundering.
Very true. If you look how the current president attained his early offices, it was not by winning the political debate, he won by clearing the field of his opponents. Statists cannot win an open debate in a free society, they have to first villify and destroy their political enemies.

Consulting Business?
I would NEVER hire ANY “consulting” business to do work for me if they were also running an internet chat room like LGF.

Thanks. Sent that in an email to my GOP cabal.
Hey, what’s the word on Sen. Jim Webb? He always seemed rather stable. Some of the Blue Dogs have a lot of potential.
Shit. I’m drinking and I’ve SAID TOO MUCH.
Hey, how about that Rudy guy? Seems like he might go far… *whistles innocently, walks away, trips over empty vodka bottle, pratfalls*.
The thing about the purges – the more I have gotten to know the people who have left, either through bannings or disgust, the more I get to know the amazing, wonderful, intelligent, experienced people who made the comments threads interesting and informative. I have seen people help each other, with all manner of questions and problems, help offered where it need not have been. I saw it happen in the Lounge. And I have seen it continue with the people who are here now. When I see it happen, I marvel at what he has thrown away over there. And I wonder why.
The other thing is the shock and amazement people feel when they are unjustly banned and have no ability to defend themselves, or say goodbye to those they ‘got to know’ over there. It’s one reason why there is such joy here when old friends show up, and the comments flow fast and heavy, agreements and disagreements freely expressed. It’s fun and it is raucous. And thank you.
And, to the newcomers, join us in the Blogmocracy “Lounge” click on the Table 9 link in the sidebar here, and don’t forget to add your name to the List of the Banned here. 903 Banned, and counting, and those are just the ones we know about. Spread the word, some of us are still spread to the four winds, and it’ll be good to at least touch bases with some of the missing.
re: #17 by Rodan
Rudy could do no wrong according to the LGF crowd. Now they are bashing him? He has a whole new crew of lib posters like this “iceweasel”. I wonder what Mandy “RUDY RUDY RUDY” Manners will think…LOL.
re: #19 by The Osprey
She won’t say anything. Iceweasal is now one of Charles’s elite posters. Sharmuta better watch out, there’s a new gal on the block getting the attention of Icarus
Seems that Charles just like Mohammedans equates speaking the TRUTH with hate speech. Which says a whole lot about Charles.
Maybe Schmuckie has never gotten over Glenn fighting back against Schmuckie’s smear of Beck as regards some woman opponent in Beck’s audience. Schmuckie thought it was one of Beck’s supporters and unfairly blasted Beck on Johnson’s error.
Instead of apologizing for his goof, Schmuckie whined about Beck fighting back against him. Glenn Beck is a punk — a punk; etc. Schmuckie’s meltdown over the incident cannot be ignored and may have contributed to his desire to see Glenn banned.
Heres another topic the totalitarian blogsters get their panties in a twist over. Nothing to be concerned about, how dare you ask questions as to the safety of vaccines? Take your medicine, just a little pin prick.

re: #19 by The Osprey
I never liked Rudy Gulianni. He’s just another RINO. Duncan Hunter was the only candidate worth darn who ran for President on the Republican ticket in 2008.
Rodan, this “…Johnson is openly supporting the Neo-Fascist organization named Colors of Change” seems like a bit of a stretch.
Supporting a particular position doesn’t mean one supports an organization. For example, I can agree with you guys about a given economic policy (and generally do, I’m what you might call a free market Progressive Leftie)while detesting what I perceive as an anti-gay bias on the part of many.
As usual, you paint with too broad a brush.
As far as Beck goes, calling for a campaign targeting his advertisers isn’t quite the same as silencing him. He is free to say whatever he likes. We are free to change the channel or boycott a product. That is the market at work and Beck will have his soapbox only as long as it is profitable for Fox.
Sure, Johnson’s a dick. But he’s your dick and we don’t want him. Believe it or not, there are a few of us over here on the left side of the aisle who value integrity, loyalty and consistency.

Other than Johnson and color of change is there any other organization pushing for the silencing of Glen Beck?

Well you have the usual suspects who want to shut up conservative speech and I can’t think of any rightwing/conservative organizations that want to silence leftwing/progressive speech, there lies a huge difference, the libs can’t win the argument so they try to silence the truth by banning conservative posters, shouting over others during debate and trying to have others taken off the air.

That drives me crazy. They’ll blame the banks too. ANYBODY except for themselves.
ARMS were designed for people who did not have the credit scores to get a reasonable fixed rate, and the ARM gave them time to get their issues worked out and refinance.
The only ones in an ARM that I feel sorry for are the ones that can’t refinance because the values have dropped.
re: #35 by goddessoftheclassroom
That and the cheering section jumping up and down with glee.
re: #34 by goddessoftheclassroom
That being said, I cannot be held responsible for anything smokey blurts out or does on this or any other blog!
Patience is a virtue.
Our ARM started at 6.5 in 1999 and dropped and locked in at 4.75 in 2001 with no buy downs, so it ain’t all bad.
I guess American Sabra over at 1.0 is learning “thou shalt not read the stalker blog” what American Sabre is going to realize is that eggshells suck.

I resent that my hubby is nearing retirement and we will not be able to sell our house because of the overall market downturn here. What the heck did practical minded folks do to deserve this? I call it redistributing punishment.The final kick is The Obama wants to help slackers.
We scrimped for years to save for the 25% required by our lender on a house we could afford. So old school, but at least we aren’t underwater.
re: #41 by BenZacharia
That’s good to hear. All I get is the other side with people calling to refinance either too late (already behind on their payments) or with worse credit than they closed the first time with.
It’s frustrating. Especially when they get mad at me for not being able to perform miracles.

Rudy Giuliani was a terrific mayor of New York (before moving to Florida I was one of his constituents) who turned NYC around and was a tough law & order man. He also would not be giving $925 million to Gaza or apologizing to the Muslim world like Obama does. Duncan Hunter would have had no chance.

re: #64 by vagabond trader
You know what VT – as a mayor of NYC he cannot take any other position (regarding guns). I would rather win with a candidate whom I agree with 70% of the time then lose with a candidate I agree with 90% of the time. There is no candidate out there whom you will agree with 100% of the time, after all do not forget they are politicians. Ronald Reagan gave out the first amnesty to illegals in 1986 – did you agree with that?
re: #62 by davehm
If she wasn’t banned then she will now once his lurkers report on her. She is a true conservaitve and will not bow down to CJ or anyone else – her integrity is a source of pride to her.
And all the protestors were actually hurting those against health care reform, health insurance reform, or Ogasbags whatever. Except, NOT. Keep up the fight.
re: #68 by Speranza
Totally agree, after all I did vote for the old glue horse, despite several issues we were polar opposites on.Hell,I would vote for a conservative dem if there were such a critter anymore.
I totally understand the behavioral changes we’ve witnessed happen to Charles Johnson, and others.
Charles Johnson et. al. understand that the Totalitarian Left is now in control, actively consolidating their power, and as such will probably be at the top of the heap for many years to come, perhaps even decades.
As a result, they’ve come to the realization that, if they don’t immediately cease speaking out against the Left, mocking Leftists for their hypocrisies, exposing their alignments with radical groups like the Islamofascists, La-Raza, Code Pink, Communist Party of America (whose manifesto, btw, the Left wholly adopted), to name a few, and don’t immediately stop trying to uncover the Left’s real agenda for America and the world, then they’re going to be targeted by very powerful people in this Administration and their agents and gov’t bureaucrats (like the ex-felon who is now “Diversity Czar” the FCC), and eventually shut down.
In many cases, closing them down will terminally impact their ability to make a living by doing what they do on the internet. Yes, threats DO work… just ask any union thug or mafia member.
And as the heat is gradually being turned up on popular rightwing blogs by the Administration in an effort to get them to shut-up or face the consequences, we’re going to see more and more purges on such sites in an effort by site operators to garnish favor with the fascists in power.
Pity… As those of us who have studied our history know all too well that such people can never be appeased. We know this for the simple reason that they, like schoolyard bullies, view appeasement as signs of cowardice and weakness and just more evidence of your vulnerability to even more threats, coercion, strong-arm tactics, and the like, which the Left see no problem in employing against anybody including their own.
Whereas, those who openly resist such intimidation tactics by the Left and continue to speak out against them – including those of us who dare post comments, would rather go down swinging…
But, I fear, we all may still go down nonetheless as the Fascist Left continues to consolidate their power while the mainstream media looks entirely the other way while openly mocking those who dare speak up.
Charles Johnson et al., have probably already been “visited” by Federal Agents or have otherwise been spoken to in no uncertain terms in this regard. Either that or they clearly see the writing on the wall and hence are now openly choosing sides while they still can.
We saw this same behavior happen in Germany circa 1938 and in Italy shortly thereafter when the Nazi Party and the Fascist Party, respectively, finally managed to come into power and started threatening people as they consolidated that power. And it worked! Those who didn’t shut-up, disappeared.

First Lady Requires more than 20 Attendants
Don’t you think it is time to call, write, fax, email voicing your displeasure at the waste in government spending?
There has never been anyone in the White House at any time that has created such an army of staffers whose sole duties are the facilitation of the First Lady’s social life. One wonders why she needs so much help, at taxpayer expense, when even Hillary
only had three; Jackie Kennedy one; Laura Bush one; and prior to Mamie Eisenhower social help came from the President’s own pocket.
Note: This does not include makeup artist Ingrid Grimes-Miles, 49, and “First Hairstylist” Johnny Wright, 31, both of whom traveled aboard Air Force One to Europe…Recession??, Depression??,

“In my own life, in my own small way, I have tried to give back to this country that has given me so much, she said. “See, that’s why I left a job at a big law firm for a career in public service, ” Michelle Obama
No, Michele Obama does not get paid to serve as the First Lady and she doesn’t perform any official duties. But this hasn’t deterred her from hiring an unprecedented number of staffers to cater to her every whim and to satisfy her every request in the midst of the Great Recession or Great Depression. Just think Mary Lincoln was taken to task for purchasing china for the White House during the Civil War. And Mamie Eisenhower had to shell out the salary for her personal secretary. How things have changed! If you’re one of the tens of millions of Americans facing certain destitution, earning less than subsistence wages stocking the shelves at Wal-Mart or serving up McDonald cheeseburgers, prepare to scream and then come to realize that the benefit package for these servants of Miz Michelle are the sameas members of the national security and defense departments and the bill for these assorted lackeys is paid by John Q.

If this is the case then why are we not seeing behavior like Chuckle’s happening at other conservative blogs, like Atlas, Michelle Malkin, Powerline, AceOfSpades etc. etc.? I see no evidence of that. Chuckles is the only Conservative blog I am aware of that has turned dramatically left.
I think you are overestimating their power. Would they like to shut down conservative media? Sure, but they can’t get away with that kind of internet purge without provoking major resistance. Look at the turnout on the Right over Health Care. If they try shutting down Conservative media people will really get pissed. I think Chuckles is merely reverting to his pre 9-11 liberal-lefty Californy musician self. The pressure, if any, is coming from his peers in the music and entertainment and blogging biz in LA.
He’s tired of being an outcast and not getting invited to the cool kids parties. Plus, as a white musician who always hung out with black musicians, I think he feels the tug of white guilt when he or others on his blog criticize Obama, and has an exaggerated fear of Southerners, “white nationalists” (Vlaams Belaang, anyone?) and “militia groups”. Witness his pimping of scare stories from the “Southern Poverty Law Center”, some of which were recently debunked on other Conservative blogs.

#104 The Osprey,
Hitler and Mussolini didn’t start off either trying to intimidate and coerce everybody all at once. No. Instead they were selective at first.. seeking out the weak and vulnerable, sharpening their tactics, learning what worked and what didn’t.
As their political enemies started to comply, they increased their efforts in terms of both depth and breadth.
Team Obama has only been in power for 6 months. They’ve still got 3 1/2 years ahead. Lot’s to do! And they’ve got an entire Judiciary to stack with sycophants, ideologues, and cronies, so their tactics of coercion and intimidation can be rubber-stamped as entirely constitutional. What we are witnessing is just the beginning.
We’ve seen this all play itself out in history. And the ending is usually bloody as freedom-loving peoples make the greatest sacrifice to restore the very freedoms for subsequent generations that they once enjoyed for themselves.
Watch as more media sites of all kinds turn Left for no apparent reason (other than for the sake of self-preservation).

Pony Tail Boy is also still spreading the lie that Beck believes there are “FEMA camps.” Beck, of course, devoted several shows to debunking that myth.
For me, Chuckles’ Jihad against Robert Spencer was the last straw. As with most leftists, Chuckles is incapable of intellectual honesty or even telling truth from falsehood.
Dear Chuckles and minions, Have you no sense of decency, sir?
re: #104 by The Osprey
You are correct in your assessment of the attitude of the LA music crowd, from my observations.
A few days ago I visited with Lisa Loeb. She is married and pregnant now, and was in town to visit her parents. Lisa, who I’ve known for a couple of years, really is a sweet and gentle young lady, and as long as we discuss music, all is well. However, the few times she has talked about other things, her firm and unchallenged LA/NY type liberalism is evident.
Once, a few years ago, I mentioned to her that actors/musicians shouldn’t use their stage to express their political views. This at a time when it was common for major music acts to take time on stage to attack President Bush and the GWOT. She thought it was important for them to do so, but admitted they had to travel a very fine line. I stated my disagreement, that most people that buy a ticket(s) for a concert, they are going to have a great time, enjoy the music, party with friends, and forget their troubles for a little while, and that most of them work hard for the money that buys those tickets. The last thing any of them need or want is to hear someone lecture them, instead of entertaining them.
She was thoughtful, and we quickly changed subjects, and talked about other things.
The LA music scene is pretty much monolithic in its political leanings.
The Obama has blinked.

re: #502 garycooper
Offline, too? That’s another story. Without knowing the details, I’d just like to point out the obvious, that these are pretty sad, pathetic people, who might need some authoritarian intervention.
I’m not their only victim.
You can add Hoosier Hoops, Sharmuta and Charles to that list.
News to me since I work 50 hours a week to support Welfare recipients like Irish Rose.
re: #113 by Rodan
If anyone is stalking her family, I hope she contacts the police to prosecute him or her. Reading and posting comments on blogs won’t do any good.
re: #116 by Rodan
WHO, specifically, does she think is stalking her and her family and of what are the people she lists the victim?
re: #113 by Rodan
She ain’t handsome, she ain’t pretty, she ain’t the Belle of Belfast City.

Man, it’s a good thing Charles is purging all the “paranoid loons” and “crazies” from his site.

Real classy there CJ. You know, you’d think as fast as your readership is rolling off, you’d want a few more views. Down, what, almost 1/2 from over a year ago?
Hint to CJ — pissing people off isn’t the way to get people in the door. It might work for places that have a product that is really, really good. Your product ain’t that good.
re: #126 by AZfederalist
Classy, is right. It’s funny how he is the first on ein line to point out what he sees as hateful things posted on other blogs – one today comes to mind, in fact – but boy oh boy, point to that one comment on his blog, well, then that’s just wrong.
Hypocrisy.
It’s ok, Charles, if you’re reading this – I have a screenshot of it.
Redirect this, Charles.

Hello everyone!!
I was banned this weekend along with 8 other people..All of whom gone for daring to be a conservative and oppose charles’s minions or one of his pet peeves. My crime?? I am a Palin supporter who doesn’t think Bill O’reilly killed Tiller. Of the other banned..all were done so for very little things such as saying they like Pamela Geller of Atlas Shrugged or that going after Palin for her death panel remark was the most important thing in the debate. One was banned for suggesting force might be used asd of him, charles was right to ban him…I and the rest merely crossed that self perceived rino god.
I generally ignored Charles and his asskissing friends Sharmuta, talon262 and Jimmah’s trailer-trashing crappola, but the latest grand conspiracy theory is just too damned full of “black-helicopter” paranoia to pass without comment….So I did, so they did and now they are banned for it.
See, Charles is too busy policing everybody else to be bothered with his own hypocrisy… He never debates his ideas..he just defends them like the mullahs of Iran defend what they do. Fairness, honesty, equality are unknown if one crosses into the zone of Charles pet peeves.
Now to speak tp charles directly:
Charles, For a limp-dicked moron with delusions of grandeur, you sure spend a lot of time writing lame insults in political posts that really aren’t worth speaking to. No wonder you spend so much time as head policeman of a site where your “virtual” self can pretend to compensate for your piss-poor competence in reality and adored by your drooling 3 idiots.
well..after I am so many others were banned in so short a time..I started looking for where the banned went..and after reading a lot of posts saying the exact same thing I am, Ifound this place.
Like many others, I exlained my comments and asked to be allowed to return..3 times I asked very nicely…each time wondering if it were worth it, knowing Charles was on my case.
He will down ding all your posts in an entire thread if you dare cross him..naturally followed by Sharmuta, Jimmah, and talon262.
This is funny..on my last thread..Jimmah was down dinging me but was not speaking in the thread he was doing it to me in. I went to the pointless advertising threaq he was speaking in and down dinged him there..so the idiot comes running in crying about my down dinging him in a different thread being bad, but his doing it was okay…Too stupid to comprehend that is exactly what he did to me.
The usual mindless fools down dinged me for pointing that out.
Typical, huh??
So here is my last post to Charles for your amusement:
Since we cannot be friends anymore, I guess we shall be enemies. I have little choice but to join the other banned people..and I will have to go there and tell my story of your personal attacks and insults against myself for daring to oppose one of your pet peeves. I guess I will mention the other 7 or 8 you have banned this weekend and why you banned them, how you treated them and the insults you said about them in public. I will mention that you did not have the decency to contact me at all…to investigate what you instantly called racism and the others you gave a pass to who were doing the very same thing. I will have to speak of just how thin skinned you are and how your ego cannot take the slightest critisism or defiance.
You are one who cannot defend what you say against any true stand and come off like Obama saying he won when you point out who owns the site.
I will speak of how much you have changed to the left from the days of rathergate. How you say you are no longer part of the republican party and your tacit embrace of the far left.
Think that post will end up on his weblog??
laughs
re: #130 by quiet man
No. But you did get this….
Welcome to this blog.
Who were the others who where banned?
For fun..here are the words of Charles Himself, doing what he does best:
That’s right! As soon as you turn 60, the Obama death squads are going to land on your roof in their black helicopters, rappel down the side of your building, kill you by withholding medical attention, then haul you off and throw you in a FEMA death camp. Then kill you again. Then brainwash you.
***
Let me be very very clear about this. I’m not saying Obama’s death squads will haul you in front of a death panel. That’s absurd. No one believes such a thing.
But they’re coming for you. Be afraid.
***
That’s ridiculous. I never said Obama’s death panels would be slaughtering large numbers of senior citizens, and anyone who says I did is trying to smear me and is probably a plant or a RINO.
***
Heh. It’s Newt Gingrich and Sarah Palin starring in “Road to Euthanasia,” co-starring Bing Crosby and Murvyn Vye.
To Apache Gunner he said “Get off my website!”
To Walter L. Newton he threatened:
You know, Walter, I’m really beginning to think you might be happier with your own blog. Have you considered starting one? It takes about five minutes, and then you can control what’s posted, without having to play passive aggressive games with me.
To father of 10; “I’ll make it easier for you to avoid being bothered by me and my “gibbering sycophants” by removing your account.
No need to thank me!
And with that, you no longer have an LGF account. Bye now!”
and this exchange is illustrative:
“The crime:”
889 Trudger
So does this mean that Sarah Palin doubled down… and won?
the charles:
re: #889 Trudger
Bye now. Nice collection of sock puppets there.
The paranoid charles is always hunting for any reason to toss a conservative out…so they all are sockpuppets, racists, or somehow the worst people on the net in his flawed mind
re: #131 by Lily
Thank you for your welcome of me…I didnt say I hated him..but then of course he has to demonize me to p[rotect his own tissue thin ego..My comment that he believes was racially biased was a quote from Bored of the rings..Cato the elder and a couple of others were speaking in eubonics…so I said
“sho kin dance” which is the quote..I did explain this to charles, but he didnt have the snarklies to respond to me.
At least i know he actually saw what I wrote.
Thise who were banned were trudger, father of 10, apache gunner,
I am not sure who else as the asshole has forbidden me from looking.
I bet he is steaming, tho
laughing
re: #132 by quiet man
I remember when he banned Jheka and his 6 sock puppets, and Jheka was over at GCP lauging his rear end off because he only had one.
Collateral damage, lol.
re: #133 by quiet man
Oh I didn’t think you said you hated him….here is a list of the many banned…
http://kirls.blogspot.com/2009/05/banned-monium.html
Father_of_Ten managed not to get banned though.
If he did…he begged back in.
apache gunner
Trudger
and lobo91
were indeed banned.
He is culling the ranks over there.
If any lizards reads my post…ask yourself if you ever looked over your shoulder when daring to disagree with Charles..
and have you ever down dinged him for his comments??
I have..felt good, too.
re: #136 by quiet man
I have read your comments quiet man….they were polite. I feel that Walter Newton has a target on his back.
Plus I thought you had one on your back too.
On some threads I would see the gang up on you I would have to click to see if you were not banned.
Safe place here.
re: #134 by m
Yes..Charles isnt exactly a smart bomb, now is he.
laugh
re: #135 by Lily
I am glad Father of 10 didnt get banned..he made some sense..tho I am sure he is on Charles to do list now.
re: #137 by Lily
Good. Safe feels good. But you hit one thing..I often wondered when I came onto the site if he had banned me or not.
re: #139 by quiet man
I understand you there. He does steath ban.
Ask a few here and they will tell you they were steath banned.
Never knew why…..
Lily “Why” is all too clear to me.
The moment I felt I needed to bite my tongue was the moment I left the place.
re: #142 by m
yup “m”…the place became much more uglier in tone. My way or the highway there.
The Christian bashing was just too much for me.
Not to mention the massive bannings of decent people…mama winger for one. She simply said that Song and Dance Man was her friend.
In no time at all ….banned.
re: #143 by Lily
Exactly. And then the piling on of formerly beloved posters like Mama Winger after they are gone~ seriously, it’s like some kind of weird social experiment.
It’s pretty remarkable what passes for thought over at LGF.
re: #130 by quiet man
Welcome on Board! Feel free to comment and enjoy it here. I hammer Progressives and Islam here. Like Icarus used to.
re: #146 by Rodan
Thank you! I too, enjoy hammering progressives and Jihadis.
re: #142 by m
and lily
You all are smarter than I am on that score. I bit my tongue instead of standing up and calling foul and stayed even with the bad taste in my mouth.
When Apache Gunner was banned, I was in the thread
along with others…no one said a word…no one dared say a word even tho it was obvious that he didn’t say anything too horrible. I couldnt find his exact transgression against Charles, the “Arlen Specter” of the blogosphere.
And Charles always acts as if he is the victim when someone comes here…He did a dying swan act for me today
laugh
re: #145 by Richard Romano
Still some good, honest, intelligent people there.
Not Charles, but others are worth knowing.
I am sure we will see them here sooner or later
