This is unprecedented in American politics. Nixon had his enemies list, but never did a President and his Party seek to outright silence their opponents. The Progressives from 2003 on have launched non stop attacks on Bush, Republicans and Conservatives. When the few times Conservatives pushed back, they cried that dissent is patriotic. Now that they have power, they seek to silence all those that oppose them.
President Obama is working systematically to marginalize the most powerful forces behind the Republican Party, setting loose top White House officials to undermine conservatives in the media, business and lobbying worlds.
With a series of private meetings and public taunts, the White House has targeted the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the biggest-spending pro-business lobbying group in the country; Rush Limbaugh, the country’s most-listened-to conservative commentator; and now, with a new volley of combative rhetoric in recent days, the insurance industry, Wall Street executives and Fox News.
Obama aides are using their powerful White House platform, combined with techniques honed in the 2008 campaign, to cast some of the most powerful adversaries as out of the mainstream and their criticism as unworthy of serious discussion.
Press secretary Robert Gibbs has mocked Limbaugh from the White House press room podium. White House aides limited access to the Chamber and made top adviser Valerie Jarrett available to reporters to disparage the group. Everyone from White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel to White House Communications Director Anita Dunn has piled on Fox News by contending it’s not a legitimate news operation.
All of the techniques are harnessed to a larger purpose: to marginalize not only the individual person or organization but also some of the most important policy and publicity allies of the national Republican Party.
Read the rest.
Obama and the Progressives are now ordering Media Matters to gather Leftist Media forces for an all out war on FOX News. Had Bush done this to MSNBC which was openly supporting Iran and Al-Qaeda in Iraq, he would of been crucified for that. This is Totalitarianism at it’s purest. Unable to defend their ideology, Obama and the Tranzi Progressives are now going to use their powers to destroy the opposition. Even fellow Democrats are opposing them on this dangerous action. This is an administration that has a supporter of Mao and is praised by Castro and Hugo Chavez! The Obama regime is a Totalitarian Progressive regime that has no intentions of compromise.
Here is an example of the Fascist mindset of this Progressive Regime:
FCC Diversity Czar, Mark Lloyd praising how Chavez silenced the Opposition Press.
The actions of the Obama regime has lead to one conclusion. They are attempting to establish a Progressive Dictatorship. We must do all we can to prevent this and expose their sinister evil anti-humanist agenda!

Wow! That never happens. I normally don’t even read a post until there are already two hundred or more replies! Good for me.
A to the topic; how is any of this a surprise?
The A Number 1, overriding rule of the hard left is to silence opposition, to prohibit debate, to treat any unorthodoxy (from their perspective) as an embodiment of all evil to such an extent that it must not even get a hearing in the public forum.
It’s old news and an old tactic.
It’s ok for Obama and the Dem’s to do this, since everyone knows Republicans, Bushitler, Rush, Jooooos, Christians, AGW deniers and anyone who’s p-ssed in Chuckles Cheerios are EEEVILLLL!

You tell me. You’re the one who did it.
I do believe that Obama is making his intentions pretty clear. He seeks total power & will do whatever he can get away with to obtain it.
Look at his Czars, open Marxists & Eugenics supporters. Look at his advisors , cheap little Chicago street thugs.
He siced SEIU thugs on American citizens. He used ACORN as paid workers during his campaign.
He knows that ACORN is a criminal enterprise , he worked for them.
The list goes on & on, but you get the idea.
We need to turn over the House in 2010 & get him out in 2012.

re: #24 by RIX
I wonder in my little suspicious heart of hearts if Zero doesn’t do something, or something is unearthed about him, before 2012. I would find it interesting if the more mainstream and centrist/moderate Donks were so worried that he’s hold them back from re-election that they just do party switches to the GOP before primary season so that they are no longer bound to his lunacy.
The GOP is going to run against Zero, Pelousy and Reid. It’s not going to matter if you ARE a Blue Dog – you’re still a Donk and keeping you in Congress keeps Nazi and Whorey in charge of both Houses.

Big news! Cato is back at the Swamp.
His timeout is over. Now I wonder when Charles will restore his Oreos & milk.
re: #36 by Carolina Girl
No kidding. They’re being strong-armed too by Zero’s thuggery and NOBODY will put up with that FORever. It’ll be interesting to see what the backlash is from the donks after they’ve had their balls busted for the next 3 years. I mean, Zero is basically DICTATING to their own party AND the press on what and what NOT to do. At the end of the day, people (most Americans) want personal freedom, and they won’t put up with this sh*t forever. *fingers crossed, chewing gum to relieve anxiety and praying hard*.
re: #37 by RIX
Originally, I thought the reason he was keeping his birth certificate under wraps was because it would show his mom and dad weren’t legally married. But then we all knew that before the election.
Then he requests that almost every single record about him be sealed. No one can remember seeing him at Columbia and supposedly he graduated magna cum laude at Harvard. If he was MCL, he would have been appointed to the Law Review on his own merits, and not have to be elected. Also, where are his Law Review articles? Anyone worth their salt tries to get published, which is why being the Editor is so important – it guarantees you at least one published article.
Oh, and what law firms, etc., did Zero intern with when he was a 1L and 2L? What law firms did he interview with when he was a 3L. What law firms extended offers? I’d be curious.
What is all this then?
re: #38 by RIX
the time outs don’t work…so Cato stayed away voluntarily out of his love for hippie
I think Zero is unstable and dangerous.
He is viciously going after people who refuse to treat him like a god while all around the world the real enemy is watching.
Waiting for their opportunity to take advantage of his ignorance.
Look the press know that if they play along with the Fox thing then they could be next.

It must have been something big – he didn’t give Trout a timeout when he went and took a dump at Hot Air and then came back to 1.0 and bragged about it.
Irish Rose did the same thing to Zombie, lied and did a self-imposed exile when the rest of the Chazbots reamed her out for lying. But she got the result she wanted – Zombie was banned. But I think that episode cost Chaz one of the last of his decent posters – Dianna left right after that.

Old Butch
John was in the fertilized egg business.
He had several hundred young layers (hens), called ‘pullets, and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs.
He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced.
This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch And fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells.
John’s favorite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch’s bell hadn’t rung at all! When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, could run for cover.
To John’s amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn’t ring. He’d sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one.
John was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the Reinforce County Fair and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the No Bell Piece Prize but they also awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well.
Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most highly coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the populace and screwing them when they weren’t paying attention.
Vote carefully next year, the bells are not always audible.

he said that BHO’s population control policies (which hippie had no problem with) would lead to old people being thrown in to the gas chambers like the jews…I’m paraphrasing a bit…but if you look at his posts…
So, is it just me, or is Ickarus’ ranting about the “hypocrisy” of Rush Limbaugh saying (paraphrase here) “Ok, so the quotes were false, and he never said them, but I know he’s thinking it” regarding Obama’s Thesis hoax, is funny to watch?
Especially the last line, “Today’s letter is “H,” and that stands for massive Hypocrisy.”

Well, well, well, what an about face the B. Hussien admin had to take when they found the Press Corp was not going to let happen to FOX what could next happen to them if they followed through with the WH’s attempt at censoring a legitimate news outlet.
From today:
It apparent the MSM had to step up to the plate and consolidate their power to insure they would not be next to be on the receiving end of a B. Hussein hatchet job.

Hippie is not banning as many people now…there’s no one left and if you look at the # of comments, it’s way down. If you spend time on the thread, you will see only a handful of people that are commenting…the threads die without KKKTrout, Walter, Baqua and LVQ…it also seems that hippie is commenting a lot more to fill up the dead space.

To really do this validly you need to count all the posts over a specific time period. If you like, you can then average them and compare the two averages.

I noticed that too! Don’t forget hippie’s most loyal sharmuta..she posts alot of fluff attempting to fill up threads too. If they all put in their obligatory 10 comments they can at LEAST get it over the 100 comment line to save face. And I think hippie starts new threads sooner than usual these days to cover for low comment counts….he can act like people “chose” to comment in the new thread rather than the older one. Keep it moving.
re: #97 by song_and_dance_man
That really just isn’t a fair comparison. (I know I should be cheering on the fact but fair is fair & true is true)
In my opinion, you would also have to take into consideration the amount of time that each thread exists.
Threads tend to “die” once the next one comes up. Thus, if we are putting up 2 a day, and he is putting up 10, saying our threads have 1,000 comments isn’t really fair when compared to an LGF thread that was only up for 1.5 hours.
If you disagree, let me know.

I’d love motherfucker to say that shit to my face. Won’t happen, not ever. No balls, that’s the problem oer at LGF these days. Fuckers there now’d piss themselves if you dropped them over at Geepers’ the parties we had there. No wonder Charles never showed up for any of that. No guts, no glory…

Can we go a third time…a fourth…

Another indicator could be unique posters. If you look here on even the overnight threads, there are 12-15 different people posting.
If you look at 1.0, from what I understand, there are Charles and his chosen few pretty much talking to themselves.

Hi Charles,
A bit of a repost…
Happy birthday LGF
LGF has been registered for 9 years…
Charles if I may, what were you thinking when you registered LGF, did you ever think it would be where it is today?
Charles, do you ever wake up and feel like its groundhog day?
Heres a bit of music for you
Everyone, hip hip hooray…
Yikes, must go or I’ll miss the gym. It’s in the Quebec Hilton. I keep hoping to run into Paris.

There’s been a bit of talk today here & @ other places about how Fox was excluded from the Feinberg interview & how the other news outlets came to their aid. Here’s a take on what really happened:
Adding to the Fox News v. White House feud today is a dust-up over an interview with pay czar Ken Feinberg. Turns out, it was a sort of miscommunication, but the White House adds that if they had left Fox out it would be a case of “Not that there’s anything wrong with that!”
The version Fox has pushed all day is that the network was excluded from an interview roundtable with Feinberg yesterday, and that bureau chiefs from ABC, CBS, NBC and CNN came to Fox’s defense.
TPMDC dug into it, and here’s what happened.
Feinberg did a pen and pad with reporters to brief them on cutting executive compensation. TV correspondents, as they do with everything, asked to get the comments on camera. Treasury officials agreed and made a list of the networks who asked (Fox was not among them).
But logistically, all of the cameras could not get set up in time or with ease for the Feinberg interview, so they opted for a round robin where the networks use one pool camera. Treasury called the White House pool crew and gave them the list of the networks who’d asked for the interview.
The network pool crew noticed Fox wasn’t on the list, was told that they hadn’t asked and the crew said they needed to be included. Treasury called the White House and asked top Obama adviser Anita Dunn. Dunn said yes and Fox’s Major Garrett was among the correspondents to interview Feinberg last night.
Simple as that, we’re told, and the networks don’t want to be seen as heroes for Fox.

You are asssuming that the code behind it isn’t spagghetti, bullshit, and hacks. I wouldn’t bet on it. If Charles had something he could market, I don’t think fo r a minute he wouldn’t. He isn’t a communist, just in lust with Barrack Hussein Obama, MMMM MMMMM MMMMM. He’d probably blow Obama for free, but he’d sell his code in a heartbeat if it were worth anything.

re: #102 by WrathofG-d
Why does it matter how often a thread is posted? The commenters are going to go to the new thread anyway and the numbers would remain the same no matter what was posted. Now you know, as well as I, that most of the time the discussing diverts to other interests both here and there after about 50 comments, so I really don’t see the significance of what blog has more threads than the other. I think Moe makes a more valid point where a sampling over time of the totals is more indicative of the overall trend. My contention is that our blog, 2.0, is just getting to the point where a comparison cannot be made since our growing and large numbers are relatively new. Maybe I will revisit this in 3 months or so, after time has elapsed where a better comparison can be made.

CJ ain’t no commie. His new found love for Zero is certainly perplexing. I was online election night and CJ was devastated by the result, just as we all were. Only KKKilgore was happy.

re: #158 by davehm
I could write it. It really isn’t that impressive. You couldn’t do it in a day, but the karma bullshit is probably the hardest thing to implement. The basics that werer LGF for such a long time, a three column front page and comment threads (remember, registration is fairly new. I didn’t think it would fuck up LGH, but, in retrospect, that is when it started downhill) isn’t particularly difficult to write.
And then there is the thought of Charles having the keys to the kingdom…I wouldn’t buy it. Not for anything that would matter.
Does anyone have an email for fox news?
re: #159 by Carolina Girl
This is typical of the apologists at the cesspool.
It reminds me of how committed CJ was to formulating outrageous scenarios to innocently explain the Van Jones debacle. Possibilities for exculpation that even Jones himself couldn’t/wouldn’t dream up and put forth.
Ha ha, like he didn’t have his glasses on when he signed the document.

And he had help in developing it. Do you recall the many times he threw out his code and then commenters would reply with better code to make what he was trying to run more efficiently.
There was a reason he did this. He knew his blog was filled with much smarter people than he and he used that to his advantage, as in this case, with his code-fu.

What I find incredible is simply go back to this site’s archives for June/July. Maybe three threads a day. Maybe 40-50 posts per thread.
Then more and more refugees, the banned, et al. washed up on the shores. Now four to five threads a day, and each one seeming to go over 200 posts, with the weekend threads hitting 600 or 700 – heck we got 900 one Saturday night.
In three months. And there was no big blog-o-discovery like a throbbing memo, that got the name national recognition.
Nope. Just the people that ran or were banend from another blog that decided it was the final arbiter of what was best for America. And was wrong in the process.
re: #174 by snork
One more thing about that. That may be an insight about what they are doing. They may be here and the other sites of former 1.0′ers that are doing really well- lurking (stalking) and have no free time to post over at 1.0.

Yeah him and cj had a laugh a thon on that one.

re: #175 by Iron Fist
I’m here today because of KKKtrout. I pushed and pushed and pushed KKKtrout until finally CJ pushed me out when I called on him to respond to KKKtrouts racist works. I fought against KKKtrout everytime I was there. Little did I know (being so within the beast) that Trout and CJ really kind of think and act as one.
re: #183 by typicalwhitey
That was what I found most appalling. That Chaz said “While I can’t really condone…” Then you ban him from your site, you hypocritical twit. You had no trouble banning people who had the temerity to suggest that you could possibly be wrong about a subject on which you are completely uncredentialed, but you allow to remain a contributer who basically poisoned another blog.
And you wonder why NO ONE in the blogosphere has any use for you? Do you really believe KOS, DU and HuffPo are hoping you succeed in your transformation to leftly blog?
Delusional doesn’t come close.
re: #183 by typicalwhitey
All I can really say is that I never really knew Charles Johnson. The man I thought I knew would have never condoned that. Shows what I know, I guess, because the man he is certainly did condone it. Celebrated it, really, with a little plausible deniability.
re: #184 by Iron Fist
I believe Obama just fell into negative territory. It’s been a slow steady decline and it appears as though it will continue.

I fought with him many times and asked Charles to put an end to it to with no answer. I stopped fighting and tried another tact but gave up. I would not mind if he came over here but he would surly know that the rules are different and we fight back and not get booted for not agreeing with him.
As for the post over there saying that FOX wasn’t really excluded from the presser? Here is video from CBS proving that it DID happen.
(scroll down, video at the bottom)
http://www.mediaite.com/online/treasury-denies-it-tried-to-exclude-fox-news-from-interviews/
That link took me, what, 10 minutes to find?
There is no accountability over there. If that would have been posted here, I would have been able to refute it.
But no one over there thinks for themself anymore.
re: #169 by Runner
As Moe and Wrath have pointed out, as you read on, those numbers can be considered a phantom because they only represent one night. Well one night in the near future they will take form and solidify as being a not just a trend but a fact.
It also helped that at the inception of 2.0 there was a solid core of admins and posters. And that is a fact.
I believed then as now that we will take over where they left off, hence the name 2.0. The new version and upgrade.

No doubt Charles would suck Obama’s dick if Obama would only swing that way. He’ll do anything Obama even hints at. He’s the kind of freak that would have been leading the Red Guards during the Cultural Revolution, if only he’d been there, and Obama had been Mao.

re: #197 by song_and_dance_man
Really? I hadn’t heard that and I listen to him pretty regularly.
I take it back then.
I have to say this. I never went to LGF for Charles. I read the blog because of the brilliant posters. I enjoyed their wit, humor and intelligence. I learned so much there. I never trusted Charles after the major banning of Rayra and Reaganite. I only sent money to Charles once, in 2004. I never sent another dime because he didn’t acknowledge ever receiving money from anyone and I thought that was tasteless. Charles has always been someone I wouldn’t give two hoots about, his blog brought brilliance but only through his posters, not through him.
I posted this on the dead thread
