My Open Letter To The Loozard King and his minions:
Today, Charles Johnson of 1.0, posted a misleading and patently false thread at his site whining that The Blogmocracy was participating in “Assassination Rhetoric” and “threatening the life of the President.”
Usually, I would ignore the paranoid rantings of Mr. Johnson (as it is his site and he can do whatever he wants there; as can we here) but this claim is a serious charge, and an outright LIE.
If he feels so threatened by The Blogmocracy that he must criticize us, then fine, but do so legitimately, and honestly! I welcome the competition. However, what he has done here is simply an outright lie, and serious misrepresentation of the facts dealing with exceptionally serious issues regarding our President.
The so-called proof Mr. Johnson gives of this claimed “assassination rhetoric” is a post by “Bill Jenkins” (a poster, but not Admin here) quoting Thomas Jefferson. (It is #6 on the “Leftists Love Their Autocrats” thread from yesterday.) [*at the time of Mr. Johnson's thread there were 56 posts on the "Leftists Love..." thread) There are a few major problems with Charles' claims however.
(1) The comment Mr. Johnson uses for his principal argument is not directed at the President. In fact, it isn't directed at anyone. (Go to the thread and see for yourself.) The so-called "proof" that Mr. Johnson gives that this comment is "assassination rhetoric" is that it shows a picture of President Obama with the comment. What he purposefully omits is that this picture has nothing in particular to do with the comment, but instead is just "Bill Jenkins" avatar which is attached to all his comments. Furthermore, if the comment were directed any anyone, it would have been at the subject of the overall thread: Thomas Friedman. (I am not stating however that threats towards Mr. Friedman would be proper, but they are hardly "assassination rhetoric" "threatening the life of the President."
(2) In his post, Mr. Johnson blatantly alters the original comment by adding in a link, and language that wasn't part of Bill Jenkins' post. I presume the "Lizardiods" aren't going to take my word for it, but you don't have to. This fact is evidenced by Mr. Johnson's own screenshot which he uses as so-called evidence. You will notice that in Mr. Johnson's attack, the words: "(With a picture of Barack Obama.)" [Which interestingly used to have a link to a picture, but now the link has been removed on LGF. Who is the one doing the hiding Mr. Johnson?] was added to “Bill Jenkins” comment.
The flaw in Mr. Johnson’s argument however is that there is no picture of Barack Obama there, nor was there ever! Just look at the screenshot provided. This language connecting the comment to President Obama was falsely added by Mr. Johnson to bolster his lie. As is stated in #1 above, yes there is a pic of Obama present, but it is simply the avatar that accompanies ALL of “Bill Jenkins’” comments and thus had nothing specific to do with the comment in question.
(3) Mr. Johnson then goes on to whine about some of The Blogomcracy’s posters’ statements about him. Unlike Mr. Johnson, I am not going to lie – those two statements are true, and for the most part in context. I don’t agree with these personal jokes regarding Mr. Johnson, but at least here he is not lying – they were said. I will agree, they are rude, and inappropriate – but so what! Was it not Mr. Johnson who told most of us to “get off his blog”, and if we didn’t like the restrictions, etc. on LGF that we should “go get our own blog?” Well guess what Mr. Johnson, and those “Lizardoids” reading this, WE DID. So quit your whining, and stop being so thin-skinned. You and I both know that these expressions of humor, and anger are not legitimate or actual threats against you. If we are going to participate in such purposeful melodrama over comments made at blogs, maybe we will have to take seriously all the threats against the Liberals, the U.N., the “Palestinians”, etc., that have occurred at LGF over the years.
(4) Last is Mr. Johnson’s disingenuous use of a post from a long time ago by former Admin “Avideditor” to attempt to claim that these types of posts are typical of The Blogmocracy. This claim however is again proven false by Mr. Johnson’s own so-called “proof”. He attaches screenshots from “Avideditor’s” own site complaining that we removed him as an Admin, and banned him from our site (something we rarely do) because of that comment.
This doesn’t prove that “assassination rhetoric” against the President is typical, but quite the opposite – it proves that despite our exceptionally liberal policy towards free speech on our site, and strict policy against banning people, the Admins at that time found “assassination rhetoric” against the President (even in question form) to be appalling, and beyond-the-pale and thus acted accordingly by banning the person who made the comment.
Counter to Mr. Johnson’s underlying claim, they didn’t encourage this type of rhetoric, or consider it acceptable, but instead took the huge step here to ban an Admin for said comment. This fact is further proven by the realty that “Avideditor” is angry at The Blogmocracy, and had to make his Anti-Blogmocrcy comments (those used by Mr. Johnson) from his own site and not ours!
Mr. Johnson is outright lying, and obviously thinks so low of his “lizardoids” that he expects them not to see the blaring flaws in the so-called evidence he provides. This is probably why he bans anyone that comes here, or elsewhere to find out the truth for themselves. I however think higher of them then he does apparently, and know that when provided with honest evidence they will make the right conclusion.
Assassination rhetoric against the President of The United States is a very serious offense, and something the Admins here take exceptionally serious. Not only is it against the law, it is WRONG! As Mr. Johnson inadvertently proves, when we are aware of it, we are so offended that we are even willing to ban a long time associate, and Admin because of it.
Mr. Johnson’s claims are disingenuous, false, and pathetic. Criticize us if you must, but at least have the honor to do so honestly!
(*I would have been more than happy to have posted this “face-to-face” on LGF, but we all know how that goes.)
Discuss and/or just enjoy this open thread.

Update ~ by bar
Yes my comment was, upon reflection not very funny at all, I thought it was, but then you can see my brain size in my avatar and that’s not my brain, that’s the tumor growing on my brain.
The not-so-funny comment was made in the context of Charles Johnson revealing my personal info on his public blog. He had just revealed a persons real name that posts here. It appears it was purely out of vindictiveness.
I made that comment in the context of “if he outs me, I am not sure if I care, but then its not that long of a drive to Culver City……”
I did not mean it as an actual threat of bodily harm to Charles, although I understand why it was taken that way. So my sincere apologies to Charles Johnson for my “threat” of bodily harm.
Now of course Charles failed to mention the context of my comment which was based on his comment, I wonder why?
Perhaps he violated his own rules or he doesn’t want you to really know the low levels he will stoop too in defense of his own “honor”?

In his post, Mr. Johnson blatantly alters the original comment by adding in a link, and language that was’t part of Bill Jenkins’ post.
Wouldn’t that mean that selrahC is being dishonest?
if you read the thread over the road, the thing that really strikes me is how chas goes from full on agression, blasting everybody.

re: #4 by justin case
Charles “Icarus” Johnson/Nancy/selrahC is the ultimate Coward. He runs his mouth from teh confort of his blog and doesn’t go debate anyone. He lies and exagerated. He comes from the Alinsky School.
Just in case selrahC or one of his worms is monitoring this thread, I’d like to reiterate my earlier challenges to him to an internet debate. Openly. On the neutral turf of his choice.
Up for it now, big guy?
nice work wrath.
cj is gone ’round the bend. he’s falsifying easily verified items.
its just sad, he’l lost his touch and perhaps his mind.
Maybe I could start my own blog . . . call it LGF 3.0 and invite all of the posters banned from here? All 2 of them will make a rockin’ blog!
Here’s a good one!

re: #11 by tqcincinnatus
He’s a coward, don’t expect it!
I think what really buggers him is he’s banned so many people he now has to come out and bang the kitty-can begging for money.
Well, dude, you reap what you sow.
BTW – just so the admins know, if you set up a kitty-can I would be more than happy to contribute!
I was a tad disappointed that not one current LGF member ( at least that I saw ) could muster the character and/or courage to defend any of us past members with whom they cordially blogged with for many many months or years? They surely know that many of us were banned for rather capresious reasons and they might very well be next. Interesting.

re: #7 by coldwarrior
I’m sure he is a nice guy, but that doesn’t change his liberal stances on border security and the fact that he got kicked out of Iraq for giving away american soldier movements and positions via sand maps.
re: #18 by Nevergiveup
The ones that would have already been banned. The ones that are left lack the will or the desire to do so.
It is kind of sad when I see some of those left at LGF that either do not leave or even actively join in the trashing of us. Folks I considered friends and mentors.

talk them down gently after they get baned as well.

As for the topic of this thread, I pointed alot of that out on a previous thread here (I think the Chavez thread) when someone refrenced that post by Charles.
He REALLY reminds me of Baghdad Bob, Saddam’s PR guy, when we invaded Iraq and won so quickly…. “We’re driving them out of Iraq! We are winning! The Americans are running in fear!”

re: #18 by Nevergiveup
Agree, a little too cultish for me. They aren’t free to say what they want about the banned anyway. Charles will focus fire them. They should just accept 2.0 as posters who want a different way to take care of disagreement on a blog.
Most of the responses there are pretty ridiculous. I see one or two where they read something, made a thoughtful analysis and posted it. but with iceweasel syndrome in play most will gloss over it. Iceweasel the whirling dervish of denial as an excuse to avoid reality.
re: #26 by coldwarrior

Here’s the lyrics,
When a freight train jumps off a track
And rolls down my road
And its summer time in Texas
And they’re playing in the snow
When politicians everywhere stop telling lies
And only state the facts
Right then, that’s when
I’ll take you back
Let’s say I get bucked off a bull and fall and hit my head
And then I get amnesia and forget the things you said
I lose my better judgement and I take up smoking crack
Right then, that’s when
I’ll take you back
[Chorus]
Go on keep trying
Come on keep calling
You know I like it
When you come crawling
Its like music
To hear you balling
Waa, waa, waa, waa, waa
When Donald Trump takes a part time job parking cars
When Clint Eastwood does ballet in a big pink leotard
And a donkey wins the Derby as he takes his victory lap
Right then, that’s when
I’ll take you back
[Repeat chorus]
The day that old morning sun rises in the west
And they pass a law in L.A. banning artificial breasts
When cars can run on water, gasoline and oil ain’t worth jack
Right then, that’s when
I’ll take you back
[Repeat chorus]
Its like music
To hear you balling
Waa, waa, waa, waa, waa

I would suggest that someone politely (and I mean it!) contact him at his blog and direct him here to this rebuttal.
I would expect someone like him to see the errors of Charles’ argument.

I don’t want to go into the details (mostly to ward Charles away, but also because I hear that ladies like mysterious guys……. heh), but we are making some progress in that arena, between the Admins.
As always, a big thanks to those who DO bear the financial burden for this site I’m not one of them).
What I don’t get is WHY??
What does it matter to Charles Johnson if people link to Jihad Watch or not?
What does any of this MATTER?
He is picking at such minutae, it is amazing.
Meanwhile, the world passes him by, and there is a greater concern of a nuclear Iran and an Obama appeasing administration.
re: #31 by justin case
Ok – that’s funny because last night on O’Reilly (I never watch O’Reilly because of his gorebal warming stance) a science guy (green peace refused the invite) proved beyond a shadow of doubt – with SCIENCE – that global warming is not only a hoax, it’s a fat lie and we’re definately in a cooling pattern and have been for over ten years now.

Good afternoon, y’all.
Also on that thread: All your dissent belong to us!
Then of course:
What is most interesting about reading this thread on LGF is how WRONG they have us. The commentors all respond to what Charles says, but such statement cannot be based on the reality of the Blogmocracy. (Especially since the numerous changes that took place since it was LGF 2.0, etc.)
It is not independent thought actually based on our comments, actions etc. Yes we have our outliers who tend to make the most embarrassing noise, but they hardly represent the Blog.
They comment on a caricature of The Blogmocracy but not on what actually goes on here.
If they came here and made up their own minds, that would be one thing…but that doesn’t seem to be what is going on.
So sad for them. Maybe they should change their moniker from Lizardoid, to Lemmingoid.

re: #51 by Delectable
The link nazi concept started at LGF I think. You were checked for links once you entered the door. It’s part of your credentials at LGF.
So LGF should not be surprised at all to find themselves delinked a lot of places. Here I think within broad reason we don’t care what other people link to.
When you try to force conformance on people about something they think they had some freedom on their own to do.(publish a link on their own blog) There is gonna be a lot of pushback. Since Charles speaks for all lizards on this topic, most of them are guilty of encouraging this fascist type behavior. But most of them don’t see that Charles is not being logically consistent across his criticisms and leans into politics instead. And he can’t admit he is wrong.
It’s far overreaching behavior. It’s a complete lack of netiquette.

About 3 weeks after this incident Charles moved.

It is hard to not out someone who has been on television under his own name, pimping his blog, taking credit for the work of others and riding their efforts to his own glory.
That said, no, I wouldn’t recommend any physical actions against anyone in a blog/blog war. it is supremely stupid. When we mention Charles, it is to poke fun at him for his hypocritical lifestyle. when Charles outs folks here, it is in an attempt to fill them with fear and silence them.

All in all, I thought it was an interesting thread. You could see some people’s true colors, if you looked carefully.
Interesting.
I am going to put up a post that will make Charles and company go mad.
It will be a tribute to Chilean Patriot, Augosto Pinochet!
re: #32 by m
I remember when he said he was “going to take the gloves off” and go after Michelle Malkin.
I found that so inappropriate and weird. Here we have a big full grown man threatening a petite 5 ft. tall woman with what could reasonably considered bodily harm.
Only a real fucking cowardly crazy bastard would do that publicly. It is shocking that he had no consideration of how he might look to normal people.

re: #101 by LanceKates
Yes I agree this stuff is more so just departing finger waving at Charles. It serves a purpose. And compared to the rest of the internet is pretty mild in my view. Only wackos commit violence based on the internet chat. Part of the job is to learn how to separate that out and ameliorate it.
Charles though as you say doesn’t do himself any favors by being public and also outing people who leave his blog on a regular basis. It’s not kosher behavior by any means. I think it means he feels desperate. This post here today of his seems to confirm that to me. Like Irish Rose, he can’t take good advice.
re: #101 by LanceKates
You point out another fatal flaw in one of Charles’ arguments (regarding why it was ok to “out” Rodan, Savage, “M”, and others).
If you recall, he stated that his “outing” of these people wasn’t wrong because they were hiding behind their anonymity to attack him personally by name.
This is an odd thing to say for at least two reasons.
(1) It was Charles who “outed” himself, and thus if he is upset that people know him by name, face, etc., he has only himself to blame. No one “outed” him; he did it to himself. The same cannot be said about “m”, “Savage”, or “Rodan” who chose anonymous names to refer to themselves by. It was not their own actions that “outed” them but instead Mr. Johnson. Thus in Johnson’s case he made the decision to “out” himself. This is not the case with the others.
(2) Why shouldn’t these people be able to “hide” behind their anonymity? If he doesn’t wish harm to them personally then what is his concern whether it is done by their proper names or an anonymous one? It it isn’t harm, or blowback that Mr. Johnson desires, it shouldn’t make a difference how they do it.
re: #113 by chickadee
Never carried through on the threat either. Makes threats and never backs them up, projects his anger and fear and behaviour onto others… classic narcissistic behaviour that is. From his behaviour he’s a sociopath, plain and simple. No need for drugs or women to explain it, he’s just that full of himself.

Does anyone have an LGF account? I think this rebuttal would make for a nice post.
Although it is polite and refrains from any personal attacks, I’m sure it wouldn’t last long as it shows how false Mr. Johnson’s claims are….but…
In Roman times, a false accuser was punished with the same punishment that the accused would have faced if convicted. Since we’re not into killing people here’s the question: who thinks Charles’s cats should die for this?
Leave the KITTEHS ALONE!

There are very few reasons to expose someone’s identity online.
Either to prove corruption (not applicable), give support for experience (not applicable) or to threaten, or hope someone else will threaten, physical violence by posting the name, picture and location of an individual.
Look at the folks that published the mohammad cartoons…. when their name, picture and location were made public, they ended up running for their life.

I hope you know that you’ve been on our prayer list for months. We pray for justice for you.
Here Charles attacks Joe Bastardi as not relevant in a discussion on climate.
This is the Penn State Meteorology School. Climate is part of their curriculum But in any event climate analysis involves many disciplines of science. One of them is geology.
So again Charles is wrong. But you won’t see it there.

Too late for lawhawk. I’m sure there are screenshots for future ref. “lawhawk was banned because it came to my attention that he was linking to JW as late as….”
Hey Charles, you’re thin skinned so always wear a shirt.
re: #43 by Rodan
Must be tough running in high heels and mini-skirt.
re: #134 by snapped shot
Charles has pissed away friends all over the internet. Not just posters or other blogs, but people that one would have thought would have mattered to him. Spencer would be foremost among these, I would think. It is sad, but what do you do? No one can ever be saved from themselves.
Later in the same thread, Charles calls Glenn Beck a moden day McCarthy.
He, of course (as a lefty), meant it as an insult.
But, Charles is right. Beck is doing what McCarthy did decades ago: Point out individuals in the Administration that have socialist/communist ties and are in positions where they can cause great damage to the United States.
The left has so demonized McCarthy (in their constant defense of communists) that even conservatives are required to hate him.
Not a chance. He did his job and did a good job of it. What HUAC ended up doing, mostly in their attempt to slander McCarthy, is another matter, but that is the Democrat-led HUAC, not McCarthy, that is to blame.
re: #157 by Iron Fist
And he does that because he has such a broad view of fascism that he id’s a lot of non fascist’s who are just exploring the internet asking questions about groups he terms fascists.
It dilutes a lot of what he says about groups like Vlaams Belang who if Van Jones is innocent of his past then they certainly are also. Same for GOV and Carl in Jerusalem. Pretty much hit jobs done on the innocent.
re: #157 by Iron Fist
More amazing than Charles’ dislike for spencer is the hatred his posters have for the same guy that, a year or two ago, they praised and held up as super.
re: #154 by spidly
Lawhawk was banned today?

re: #161 by WrathofG-d
nah I think he is conjecturing. lawhawk is too even keeled I would think.
re: #159 by orangecrush
Yeah, it is rather interesting that he never gave Robert Spencer the same benefit of the doubt that he gave Van Jones (and Jones never said he was duped; that was just a fantasy Charles had and tried to make the narrative). It is really weird behavior. I have my suspicions about the why, but maybe I’m wrong. Maybe he was always like this, he just kept it better under control.
re: #161 by WrathofG-d
not yet that I know – I was just commenting on the links on lawhawks site and that they’ll be the reason given if he does not toe the party line over there

Memo to LGF2 – if you’re going to pursue this path, be prepared for the consequences- visits by the US Secret Service and/or FBI followed by criminal charges. Such speech can and should be construed as threats against the President of the US, and those engaging in same should be prepared for same.
You can dislike the President without threatening his life. You can debate without debasing yourself or threatening others. But then again, that didn’t stop you before, and it’s not going to stop you now – until the USSS comes in and does just that.

Never, ever trust a leftist.
re: #169 by coldwarrior
As far as I’m concerned, he would NOT have to appologize for that comment.
From the information he was given (and the threats made about actually checking this site to ensure that it was true) his comment is evenhanded, and quite reasonable.
I actually don’t disagree with one word. He is right -presuming anyone here had actually made the type of threat Charles LIED and said we did.
If he/she is going to have to apologize for anything (he/she wouldn’t) it would be believing everything Charles said without looking into it him/herself and making up his/her own mind.
re: #171 by coldwarrior
I don’t know about others, but I don’t think he’s an evil man or mean or anything. I agreed that he’s likely nice.
I just thought that some of his movements and decisions were not the brightest.
re: #173 by WrathofG-d
from lawhawk: “You can dislike the President without threatening his life. You can debate without debasing yourself or threatening others. But then again, that didn’t stop you before, and it’s not going to stop you now – until the USSS comes in and does just that.”

I agree. Based on what Charles said, lawhawk was making what I’d consider to be ‘friendly advice’ to us.
Based on what Charles posted.
But Charles was being dishonest (out of ignorance or on purpose), and so lawhawk’s advice doesn’t apply.
I put in a request on his blog to come to our blog and see our post about it. It is my hope that he’ll be his normal level-headed self and look at both sides before making up his mind, particularly about the presidential threat part….
Hopefully it’ll open the door.

re: #160 by LanceKates
That whole site is Kafkaesque…
Speaking of liars and the lying liars that defend them.
If someone is lying and someone else says “you lie” what is the error? (apparently there IS a rule in the House, probably enacted by Republicans, that makes it a violation of some sort to call the President a liar or say that he is lying) Other than that, the best defense would be the truth.
Mr. Obama or Steny Hoyer or Nancy Pelosi; show us how Rep. Wilson was wrong in saying, about what Mr. Obama had just declared (that illegals would not be covered by the healthcare bill), that “you lie”.
Prove to us that he’s wrong. We’ll even let you redo the vote in committee over an amendment to specifically state that the healthcare bill would NOT cover illegals (which was defeated by the Democrats) and use that as a starting point.
No. I didn’t think you’d accept.
re: #175 by coldwarrior
I cannot tell you what was in his/her mind. But I would guess that it stemmed from the 3 FALSE examples given by Charles on that very thread.
(1) The Bill Jenkins post, (2) The mean comments about Charles, and (3) Avideditors’ question regarding the despicable act.
However, insofar that I do not know “Lawhawk” he/she is MORE THAN WELCOME to come here and defend that comment (or even Charles, or anything for that matter.)

Yes, of course, it will be much better when the govt changes the concern about profits to a concern about controlling costs. Much much better.
#376 Charles
And yes, of course — I didn’t say any of that, but don’t let it stop you from putting words in my mouth.
#388 JohnH
It’s as valid as your point.
#439 Charles
You’re an ass who tried to put words in my mouth. That’s my point.
#446 JohnH
I did not put words in your mouth. I responded to your point. That’s all.
# 508 haakondahl
Charles, you did not say that, but it hardly constitutes putting words in your mouth to voice the other, unspoken view of the same process. From your post, it sounds like you are pitting the current system against some rose-colored vision of ObamaCare. If I thought it would work they way the President thinks it will work, then maybe I would support it. What JohnH did was point out the alternative view, that pits the current system against a less credulous interpretation of the President’s plan. None of that puts words in your mouth. They’re his words. From his mouth. He just disagrees.
There you go. It was as simple as that.

I have to say they are freaking thick over there.
It took the smart ones just a few hundred posts before someone pointed out that I (bar) made the threat, not Iron Fist. And only another hundred or so posts to figure out I spelled it “peddling” and not “pedaling” and “payment” instead of “pavement”. I screwed up the word “pavement”, but I like the irony of payment. Peddling was a pun.

They’re awfully cute, but the part of cats I most enjoy is how when I pet their faces, paying special attention to the area under the cheekbone and upper gumline as well as the forehead, their purring puts me into a mild-to-medium trance state. Cats are very easy to form an empathetic connection with.
In my sick sense of humor, it’s their amazing lovability that makes it funny to joke about killing them. I don’t know why – maybe I watch too much Superjail.

Why assasinating the Communist Dictator in Chief is a Bad idea
1) Hundreds, maybe thousands, of men, women and children will be dragged from cars and beaten to death. Whites, Asians, Latinos.
The LA Riots, nationwide
2) Obama is a tool for some pernicious force. Soros, maybe. Joe Biden, not quite as hard core a leftist, more an ethnic Catholic pol from Scranton who became a Democrat because everyone else did and was too stupid to change, becomes POTUS. Pelosi still runs Congress, the policies don’t change.
3) Obama becomes a martyr. Bad, very bad, legislation gets passed in his memory. Republicans will be more timid than ever in debate.
4) Conspiracy theories for a thousand years.
JFK times Ten.
We MUST win a chamber of Congress in 2010 to begin oversight hearings on the census, vote fraud and the politicized Holder DoJ in 2011, minimize vote fraud, and send the Marxist in Chief packing in 2012.
BTW, look for assaults on free speech, talk radio, and gun rights like you wouldn’t believe in the aftermath of an assasination.

Probably been said already but I want to say it anyway:
I am Spartacus
I am Joe Wilson
aladamit once again I miss a good thread.
Well, Charles outed me a couple nights ago and the sycophants all had turns at bashing me(and btw this has happened on at least 3 occasions now}. And now Charles is going after more of us.
The way I see it, he sees us as a viable blog filled with fine folks he has turned away and now whines over it. He really has thin skin and appears to be very emotional.
And yes he lies. In the latest incident with me he claims after my banning I was emailing him freaky messages that he was being watched. That is a total lie. I never emailed him after I was shown the 1.0 door and he knows it. When BBEV asked on a thread a week or so later after my banning came up again, Charles said no. I had not contacted him and in his view enough time had passed. Further proof of his outrageous lies.
On another occasion I made a comment here about the Aqsa burial. He picked up my comment and claimed I wanted the authorities to exhume the body so it could be given to others to possess. I did not say that and a plain reading of the comment would’ve made that clear. But that didn’t matter to the sycophants over there. They merely accepted Charles’ twisted interpretation and bashed me again.
And once again we have Charles’ in his sick twisted way reading something into that is said over here and attaching a meaning to what is not there.
That dude is one sick pup and his hatred of, and stalking us is taking him over the edge, if he is not there already.

I haven’t been to his blog in a long time, certainly not for a prolonged visit to read anything in-depth.
(I think I clicked on one single LGF1 link here awhile back because someone said, “You just gotta look at this at LGF 1, you won’t believe it.” But I don’t go to LGF 1 and spend time reading all the posts there or pouring over the content.)
It seems Johnson is really stalking us here, not vice versa.
He’s apparently visiting us daily/ weekly/ or monthly, and I’ve not been to his blog in a good long while. Sad.
How does Johnson justify lurking through the many posts and threads here, both very old and recent, in order to find “gotcha” kind of posts to feature at his blog?
That is a form of stalking, IMO (or at the very least, it’s an obsession).
It takes time and effort to dig through this blog like that to find comments that look damming.
I’m not surprised Johnson is misrepresenting people here and flat-out lying.
The deal with Johnson mis-using Bill Jenkins avatar to make a point is totally lame to the Nth degree.
Bill has been using that avatar for a long time now, a few months, and it has nothing to do with wishing harm on Obama.
Had this happened over a year ago, I would’ve found this a little surprising, but from the stuff I’ve seen Johnson pull over the last 12 months, this doesn’t shock me too much.
Johnson hates it when people cherry-pick outrageous comments from visitors at his blog to criticize him, but he keeps doing this to other people, including us here at this blog. So he’s being hypocritical, too.
Granted, I’m not at this blog every single day, nor do I read every single comment when I am here, but I’ve been here enough to say that outside of maybe one or two cranks and colorful characters, most folks here do not make outlandish posts tinged with violent threats against Obama or whomever.
Most hypocritical of all is that Johnson complains about people making their own blogs to discuss Obama or to criticize him or LGF 1, but he is the one (as the original post points out) who continually tells people, “Don’t like it here? Then make your own blog!,” and then bans the person.
Well, we’re just taking your own advice: some folks who were unfairly banned made their own blog. You have only yourself to thank for it.
(This blog is super slow again today. I never thought I’d get to the comments section!)
I’m not a birther, and Corsi and WND seem a little shaky, but Obama and his lawyers do seem to be hiding something.
Whereas Charles will distort in any way possible, and call Zombie a liar, to defend Van Jones, the Truther.
Trutherism implies a lot more, a huge conspiracy to murder Americans, birtherism implies a man who has a shadowy past, lies a lot, and doesn’t like to reveal his history, has something to hide.
I’d rather be a Birther than a Truther.
But Chuckles the Dancing Poo Punchee doesn’t see it that way. BTW, managed to look at LGF, Chuckles has a thread pimping a pro-Obama care web site.
Mental illness, long term meth use, or just has teh gay for Obama. ¿quien sabes?
Charles Johnson is a paranoid-delusional freak who sees Nazis and fascists whenever he looks outside his octuple-locked front door.
Charles Johnson is simply a moron who is shilling for Obama’s health care plan, Van Jones, and even Keith Olbermann.
I have insulted this prick numerous times on countless forums and I’m quite certain he felt like this was his opportunity to make shit up in some desperate attempt to get the feds knocking on my door as revenge. That is something very unlikely to happen… but I guarantee what can happen, chuckie. More personal insults!

But what’s the enforcement mechanism?
There isn’t one, which is why that sentence is meaningless. Obama knows this. Hence, he’s a liar.

Hi former LGfers,
I’m so glad charles commented on your site (being derogatory made it even better – had to come on over and check it out). I would not have known you were even here – if Charles hates you that is a good thing. And I’m very impressed that I didn’t need to win a lottery to join.
I stopped posting because of all the eggshells – hope here is better. And lets see if I get dumped just for joining here. (Be a good test I think).

Robert Spencer left a comment here this morning. CJ smears the Blogmocracy as a nest of potential Obama-assassins shortly afterwards. Coincidence?
I think CJ’s post, thoroughly rebutted by Wrath, is really an indirect shot at RS. As in, Look at Spencer – hanging out with these violent extremists!
He’s going through the pawns to get to the king.
But everyone should know that CJ and his disciples, if they can, will out every commenter here, and have no doubt already ratted us out to various law enforcement, human rights bodies, etc.
And for the benefit of the LGF lurkers reading this, I’d like to thank Bill Jenkins and Bar for getting us free publicity and excercizing their right to free speech, ESPECIALLY because I don’t agree with those comments.
What also probably bothers Charles Johnson is his mental acumen is less refined than those he has banned. That’s probably why he didn’t comments so much back in the day. Sorta like a less endowed insecure man would avoid the showers at the gym.
But since he had determined to purge his site to turn it left the only way he could do that and maintain the momentum was to comment. And now we can all see what kind of man he is, and it’s not a pretty sight.

I hope that this time the Republicans get the message, and govern accordingly.

It’s going to be just like the old pre-Brady yellow ATF form you had to fill out when buying a gun. It asked if you were a fugitive, a drug addict, or crazy. As long as you checked the “no” boxes, you got to buy a gun. Nobody actually checked.
This crap is going to work the same way. As long as they don’t check the box that says, “Yes, I’m an illegal alien,” they’ll be fine.
And the earlier thread about ACORN helping people come up with a creative definition for prostitution is relevant to this issue, as well. That’s what they do. They exist solely to help people scam the government for benefits.
You can bet they’ll be hip deep in this scam, as well.

That’s not true. The F-22 is the MOST advanced fighter for air to air supremecy we have. They are shit canning it- Period. The excuse that they can then build more F-35 joint fighters is bullshit.
1) almost all the versions of the F-35’s are behind schedule.
2) the F-35 is a “one plane for all missions” plane. That has
never worked well before and doubt it will this time.

I have nothing personal against Charles, but if he (or anyone) is going to lie, and I see it, they are going to get called on it.
IF someone is going to falsely charge me, or my friends with making death threats against my President, or otherwise so pathetically LIE about them, they are going to hear about it.

re: #298 by Rodan
Yeah, that makes him the perfect Democrat. Anything for a scrap of the sembalance of power. The best answer is usually also the simplest, and in this case the simplest answer is that Charles was always this way, but he kept it more or less restrained during the Bush Administration. The changing of the guard has caused him to flip-flop so radically that he wants to get rid of the old guard (the Class of 2004; those of us who were there before registration). As far as I can tell, Occasional Reader is the last of us left there. There are some posters who have been there for quite a long time (2004-2005 range), but those of us who were there for the beginning and, thus, remember the LGF and Charles of old are the most endangered of species.

re: #315 by coldwarrior
I’m glad the kittehs have an escape plan!
What is amusing and indicative of the wayward and twisted logic of Charles is, he picks comments from our threads nad attempts to put all of us in the same barrel.
He really is a small minded moonbat and acts like a 4th grader whose parents had little skills at raising a tantrum laden brat.
I just want to say that LGF has given people a very skewed vision of other people. It’s a good idea to take a step back and realize that some things were said at LGF that just have to be left there – whoever mentioned Stockholm Syndrome was right on with that. And things that are said upon banning should be taken for what it is, momentary honest disgust anger and frustration.
I don’t know exactly what it is about getting blocked/banned/shut out and cut off that causes such strong feelings, but I think it is, in large part, the injustice of it – the inability to respond, or state your case. It is being cut off from a community of “friends.”
What you find here is that those who thought they would hate each other actually don’t. Those who thought they would not be forgiven find they are. Those who intended to stay mad, don’t. Understanding and Compassion show their wonderful faces.
We are all also able to discern passion, bravado and posturing from real threats. We are able to take the full measure of the person we “meet” here and allow for free speech. Free Speech. One of the most important rights we have. And Political Free Speech, the most protected right of all.
Having “met” avideditor – and “speaking” to others who know him, some in real life – I know him to be an incredibly nice guy – passionate and with strong feelings, and young enough to say things that might get him in trouble when viewed in isolation. But not someone who is in any way shape or form a threat to anyone. The opposite is true.
If LGF was anything, it was an amazing congregation of good people. Now that many of them are here, free to speak without looking over their shoulders, rediscovering that community is a joy to behold.
Oh and by the way I am trilled that Charles has linked us again, giving more that are fed up with his leftism a chance to find a site that is doing what he used to do

Wow! Powerline and Iowahawk both de-linking the out-to-lunch Mr Johnson within something like 100 hours of each other.

That should really tell any thinking conservative something.
LGF sure has skewed so far afield. CJ has turned against so many good and decent people … one look at Kirly’s list — another eye-opener for me — will tell you that.
The far-out skewing of LGF ultimately became crystal clear to me last week when I was banned from that place for a few posts’ worth of remarkably non-threatening criticism that was in no way undignified or uncomposed, the level of which would get me banned practically on no other blog.

Morrisey is good, but his show needs some polish. Malkin does better.

Wow, more and more folks are delinking to (or is that “from”) LGF 1.
re: #352 by Bunk X
The bannings at 1.0 are so plentiful, I couldn’t tell you who got the stick this time.
I saw a couple people who were told by selrahC to go ahead and flounce already. I doubt Charles waited before banning them… He did the typical lie “How many accounts have you registered here?” to one of them.
His responses to critics are canned and boring.

With your avatar and that statement…
… I can only assume that you want to stick those at 1.0 with a weapon that will cause them to die, or worse.
hey, I am reading you and hating you and BTW you are a stalker of all that is left.

re: #357 by song_and_dance_man
And don’t forget, what with that Obama avatar sitting along side his post, Bill was clearly and obviously threatening Obama – so call the secret service!
And you – you mister s&dm – are threatening music symbols and treble clef signs and music notes!
As for me, I am clearly a danger to clouds, trees, and sun sets!
re: #356 by Bill Jenkins
He didn’t wait for one of them.

Hey, that hurt! You would think mine would at least earn an honorable mention!
One of the last posts on the 1.0 thread was from the lovely and gracious Irish Robes #570: “Got your back on this one, Charles.”
[I don't mind playing straight man. Have at it.]
re: #360 by Bordm
I guess so, that is a mushroom cloud, after all!
As for your post #359:
Johnson is now pre-emptively banning people now? People who aren’t guilty of doing anything are getting the stick??
This is like that Tom Cruise Minority Report movie where the police arrest people before they actually commit a crime. Bizarre.
I have actually seen something just as bad, if not worse.
I am a Christian person, but I used to debate a certain subset of Christians that believe in a kooky view point on a certain topic.
I was so well-known that they banned me from one of their discussion boards, but I had never even signed up for their board, and I had never been to their board at all.
I didn’t even know about their board until a guy from that board came over to the board where I was to mention it.
re: #362 by CloudyDay
LOL, give him time, he’ll work his way “up” to that level of paranoia.
Re: My avatar, I’ve a 39.5″ X 26.5″ picture of that shot hanging in my living room, I bought it in 1977.
Not just Ace going after Chuckie. Somehow, the topic of lgf and Charles’s meltdown over getting delinked on several conservative blogs has managed to get into one of the threads on Hotair. Chuckie’s becoming a pariah.
Hi…….just found this place via LGF. Looks like a nice place. Fraid you won’t know me as I was an infrequent reader and even less frequent poster.
I’m afraid I was never really a fan of CJ as he struck me as, quite frankly, weird even when he was on the right side. But I did get a kick out of his wannabe scientist routine.
I’m a little shocked at some of what I’m reading here though. Has he really been in the habit if “outing” posters?
re: #365 by pig
Habit? More like a full blown addiction.
re: #2 by Delectable
Agreed. Lets move on from the other place. It is like an internet Marie Celeste.

We can still get the Google Cache to ping back here, if you guys want. You need to just embed some JavaScript into each page that basically does this (I haven’t used JavaScript in a while, so here’s the java-ish vb-ish .Netish pseudocode:)
So basically, you embed this script as an On-Load script into each page. You also embed the permalink to the page into the page. Then, whenever the page is loaded, it checks to see if it’s being launched from it’s normal location or not. This check is instantaneous and does not involve any new connections. If it isn’t being loaded from LGF 2.0’s website, it creates a new, hidden browser object in the background that loads the permalink for one second and then exits. It does this by putting the permalink into a runtime-generated HTML page whose referrer is programatically set to equal the one that linked to the google cache itself (i.e., LGF1.0). This is enough to ping LGF 2.0’s server and put the view into the referrer log. It should work even from inside the google cache.
To prevent Google from converting the embedded permalink into a google cache address, just don’t include the whole address in the embedded string, but merely the subaddress (e.g., 2009/09/10/…. instead of http://www.li…).
I’m a yahoo, so I can be reached there by the site administrators, if you get my drift. But reply here first so I’ll know to check it, since it’s my spam account.
re: #365 by pig
Yes. Just ask “M”…..
Oh yeah…WELCOME!!
Some of us posted there briefly, were banned shortly thereafter – (that would be me), posted for years, or never posted at all but knew from a distance 1.0 was trouble, so it really doesn’t matter.
Welcome also to everyone here now who made the break from the Dear Leader’s Gulag. Doesn’t it feel GREAT!!!
Chuckie has gone completely nuts!! The martyr complex coupled with paranoia and outbursts of rage– it is all very weird. Some type of mental illness, I am sure.
Am glad that we are able to play some small part in pushing him over the edge!!!
Thanks for the welcome, y’all! It’s an honor to be amongst such kind company
(I look forward to participating as often as I can!)
Regards,
Brian
re: #2 by Delectable
I agree completely.
And I agree completely with the open letter too.
The melt down of LGF is sad to see, and the personality shift of CJ is distressing to watch, but it is what it is.
I haven’t posted (as my previous identity) or even lurked there for at least 6 months maybe longer. I recently tried to log in only to find my account blocked – for no reason. Don’t really care as it is not any place I’d want to hang out at. I just hope the rest of the conservative hold-outs jump the shinking ship before they get sucked down to the bottom along with the rest.
LGF used to be a power-house blog, now it is flotsam and jetsam on the cybersea of the blogosphere.
LGF is devolving into a mirror image of the Obama administration: a cult of personality. All it takes is a review of recent topics there and becomes clear that the direction of the blog has become all about CJ and his ‘brave’ stand against Heffalumps and Woozles.
If you dare disagree with CJ you are banished to the cornfield. What was once some lively interchanges are now lockstep comments, and if you are ‘out of step’ your account is blocked.
Well, if he wants to devolve into a leftist, that’s his business, but what I think infuriates people is the juvenile way he conducts himself. By giving people the ‘Winston Smith’ treatment (deleting every comment a user has made, unpersoning them) when he gives them the heave ho, even those that were around to see exactly what transpired have to keep their heads down meekly and not contradict the official CJ “flounce” report, because to do so is to go against the word of God.
So it is no wonder that when people feel wronged by an ever-increasingly tyrannical community leader that there will be those that seek to set the record straight? A community is only as strong, vibrant and diverse as the userbase is. When you are actively promoting groupthink like CJ is, those that stand up and have a different opinion are summarily banned? And much like the smashing of Piggy’s glasses, the termination of diverse thought is celebrated by the remaining cult of personality.
I could only laugh when a user was banned for linking to a previous post that Charles himself had made which contradicts his own current point of view as he is blown ever further left across the political spectrum.
Banning a user. For linking to Charles’ own words.
How much more dishonest and disrespectful of his community can one get? Truly the height of folly.
CJ has decided to disown the community that made him what he was. As he turns his back on them, they will seek other venues where their shared values will be welcomed. And while every community has their troublemakers that must be pruned, in a vibrant community such as this, they are removed because of basic general decency.
Not because of ideology.
His site, once a great source of information and a lively and intelligent community, has devolved into a cult of personality and ongoing witch hunt against those who do not participate in groupthink. I have never seen someone who could not tolerate a difference of opinion such as CJ, particularly in what should be a fairly open forum where ideas and thoughts are to be exchanged, discussed, championed, or dismissed on their own values and not by the whim of a tyrant.
So when a site like this arises, it should surprise no one at all. After all, this is the free marketplace of ideas and freedom will always win out over tyranny.
Dang. There are all kinds of good quotables on these threads… I’ll have to go through them over the weekend.
Wow, Iowahawk dumped Charles?
Memo to Lawhawk: I expect you to look at how Charles doctored the information. You should know by know how he has changed and what his tactics are.
Hello all, ex droid here. Good to see some old familiar names.
re: #376 by seamus
Great to see you! Come on over to the Welcome open thread and introduce yourself.
Its wonderful to have you hear.
Ohh…I do miss these blog wars!
The world is beating a path AWAY from that burned-out left-winger’s door, and all he can do is yell “arrgh, good riddannzzzzz, yer all craaaizzy anyways”!
He is pathetic. Truly sad. Possibly nuts.
WOOHOO!
I AM NOT ALONE!
I thought it was just me. Maybe I was ~too sensitive~ to Anti-Christian bias. Maybe I just happened to check in on days that LGF bashed Beck and ignored Islamonazis. It’s nice to know that I wasn’t just plain crazy. I used to check Michelle Malkin and LGF for the “other” news of the day. I will still check in with Michelle. I must give LGF kudos for the Ra(th)ergate and Faux-toshop coverage, but that, alas, was ages ago.
Yesterday (9/11/2009) I was banned from LGF. The terrorists have won. (Little joke, no disrepect to the memories of those lost…)
I know that my politics had shifted to the right years ago. And I know that other peoples politics shift. People change. Well, I decided to let Charles know that I thought his politics have shifted left-ward. He has a story called ” So Long Powerline” about Powerline moving far right and he must officially pull his link to their site. I decided not to be mean or foul about it so I just wrote this:
~
Charles, perhaps this is evidence that you have moved to the left, while the rest of us have stayed in place, not moved to the far right.
“I don’t believe that the left are ‘enemies’ of America or ‘hate’ America” [quoting Charles from above in the comments]
Of course you don’t, Charles.
~
That was it. He called me a “flouncer” and bounced me out. Note that 1) I never threatened to leave, no ‘flouncing’ at all, I figured that I’d continue to check in once in a while and B) I had not posted anything in probably months, so it’s not like I’d been browbeating him for three weeks or any such thing. One post, one banishment. I started researching life after LGF and I have discovered that there is plenty.
I just saw that LGF has a Michelle Obama porcelain doll ad. How fitting.
Nice to see some familiar names here.
