John Hawkins of Right Wing News lays a whupping on The Johnson

August 19, 2010

Lewd-wig Vanquackquack’s head is exploding while a corpulent blogger  pops another Xanax.

Why No, Charles Johnson Didn’t Toss Everything He Believed In Under A Bus…Oh Wait, I Meant He Did!

Charles Johnson at Little Green Footballs made a name for himself by writing the premiere anti-radical Islam blog on the planet. Every step of the way, he was accused of being a hateful, anti-Islamic bigot by the Left for daring to criticize radical Islam.

Then Charles Johnson, decided to take his blog in a liberal direction and since lefties are generally supportive of radical Islam in the United States, it made his old gig kind of tough to do. It’s like I told Charles in an email that he ignored back in the day,

When your name comes up amongst other conservative bloggers — people tend to think you’re going Andrew Sullivan on us and in a year, you will be just another anti-conservative blog.

What I am trying to get across here, as someone who respects you and thinks you have done very good and very important work, is that you should think about where this is going to ultimately lead one day. You have a lot of friends on the Right who have stood behind you over the last few years. It’s probably not too late to mend fences with them. If that’s not the direction you’re going in, are you trying to change over to a left-wing anti-Islam blog? Could that even work? An anti-religion blog? An anti-conservative blog?

Of course, it’s old news that Charles Johnson did a full Andrew Sullivan and now hates everyone he used to be allied with. It’s also no secret that what was once the best anti-radical Islam blog on the planet hardly even touches the subject these days. However, Charles Johnson’s position on the Ground Zero Mosque represents the final step in his far-left-wing conversion.

It’s actually kind of ironic. Charles Johnson was a lefty who became one of radical Islam’s biggest foes over 9/11 and now, he’s the one of the biggest supporters of what would be radical Islam’s greatest victory since 9/11: The Ground Zero Mosque. Had this mosque come along say, 3 years ago, Charles Johnson would have opposed it with every fiber of his being and LGF would have been THE goto spot for people fighting against it. Today, that honor is held by Atlas Shrugs, which has taken on the role that LGF used to fulfill.

However, the real shocker is not just that Charles Johnson SUPPORTS THE MOSQUE, it’s that he’s actually trashing the 70% of the American people who disagree with him in exactly the same terms that liberals used to apply to him. In other words, he’s now become a radical Islam enabling leftie who screams “bigot” at anyone who thinks exactly the same way he did from 9/11 up until he went back over to the dark side.

Don’t believe me? Well, let me prove it to you. Johnson’s never really been a talented or prolific writer, so he tends to pump out short snippets in his posts. Here are some of the quips he’s made about the people opposing the Ground Zero Mosque over the last week or so,

Nancy Pelosi is calling for an investigation into who’s funding the Bigot Brigade.

I must admit, I was holding out hope that George W. Bush would speak out in favor of freedom of religion and against the tide of bigotry. You know, like he used to? After all, his administration actually sent Imam Feisal Rauf overseas to promote America in Islamic countries, so Bush would have to back him now, right?

No dice.

Finally! A Republican politician who isn’t diving into the Muslim-hating gutter: Crist backs Obama on controversial Islamic center.

Oh, wait that’s right. Crist was purged from the Republican Party as a RINO.

Eric Cantor Joins the Bigot Brigade

It’s just unbelievable; the entire Republican Party is signing on to the “Ground Zero Mosque” freak show, even people who have been known in the past to speak out against bigotry — like Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA): Cantor on the Ground Zero mosque.

Cantor is clearly aware that his opposition to the Cordoba House violates American freedom of religion, but hey! I mean, come on! These are Muslims we’re talking about!

Give him another year and Charles Johnson will probably be doing a fund raiser for Hamas, so they can battle against “Israeli imperialism.” Ha, ha, ha…I’m sort of joking about that…sort of.

    While his flying monkeys likely descend into a frothing rage at any bit of “heresy” directed at their very own David Koresh, I’m guessing that Charles himself doesn’t feel the need to pop any Xanax. He surely feels quite secure in his beliefs, living in an intellectual bubble as he does. The fact that he clings to the patently absurd belief that it was the rest of the world that did a 180 while he’s remained as consistent as ever, speaks to the fact that he believes the world revolves around his benighted intellect. Who needs Xanax when you’ve been imparted the wisdom of the ages?

      he does act like a cult leader in one regard: how many times does he pop into a thread with the famed “and here come the death threats/hate mail” comments out of the blue, hoping to whip up sympathy. Kinda like when a cult leader asks his followers who will avenge his maltreatment.

    “Oh, wait that’s right. Crist was purged from the Republican Party as a RINO.”

    Oh, no, asshole, he was not “purged” – he found out he was going to lose the Republican primary, and like all prima donnas with a 12-year-old mentality, he took his ball and went home, and decided to run as an independent.

    You, Johnson, are the most intellectually dishonest shithead running around on the internet.

      Crist was no more purged from the Republican party then Joe Lieberman was from the Democratic party.

    I liked the line about Chuckles being a Moby: that is all he is doing right now, going from place to place, trying to start a new fight every week: if it isn’t Geller/Spencer, it’s Allahpundit, or Ace, or RSMcCain, or Beck, or Limbaugh, all in the hopes of drawing them into a fight and trying (vainly) to get attention from Kos or TPM. Kinda like how Olbermann has been trying for 7 years to get Limbaugh or O’Reilly to say his name on their shows.

    Hell, even the WAPO article that featured Geller only had one line from Chuckles, the “National Security Blogger”, and it was banal, so even they didn’t want to engage his psychosis.

      Remember how batshit crazy he went when his blog’s actions were mentioned on Fox but they didn’t mention him or the blog by name? Here he was, hoping for a traffic spike from KKKilgore’s pilfering of a story and pffft! bupkis.

      Keep trying Chuckie – you and that “national security blog” of yours. Of course, it’s not totally inaccurate – he doesn’t specify which nation.

      Nah, the right doesn’t hate his guts – they laugh at him.
      And actually, the article almost makes it sound like Kumquat approves of Geller, saying she is influencing national politicians. Looks like the Cheetos Eater of Century City got pwned.

        I noticed the same thing. The flavor of that section, if anything, read like a cred booster (i.e. She’s a kingmaker and the real deal.). Given that there was no value judgment included in the quote, Chuckholz may have unwittingly helped Pam.

        Heh.

        10 seconds until there is wailing in Johnsontown saying that the WAPO truncated his comment, didn’t provide context, cherry-picked, and [insert your own victim crap here].

        Heh.

    Charles motivations are deeply rooted in his all consuming need for attention. Beyond Chunk, Ned and Lewd Pig – the three of whom share this need for constant and uninterrupted attention…. what else is there at LGF now? A handful of twenty something narcissists who don’t have a clue about anything.

    Chunky, where are ya… please stand up and take a bow!

    The true irony is that the attention they get is trivial and only consists of meaningless eddy currents (ie. emails like this one).

      Oh absolutely. I wonder if Bloomfield has some deep-seated resentment for Chucky J’s exposing of the Rather forgery and just wouldn’t wait to back stab him. Because that snippet totally reads like an endorsement of Pamela and Robert. Has he put up a thread yet that he was “taken out of context?” It’s certainly his Shirley Sherrod moment and too bad for him that he can’t blame it on the right wing.
