Johnson Solves Age Old Mathematical Problem

September 9, 2010

Ludwig should be proud of his master. He’s invented a new logic so advanced, it contradicts itself in multiple places. Savor the Chuckian Logic:

So all negative feelings about a group stem from prejudice, and anyone who protests his innocence is guilty. But what of the Tea Parties? Isn’t criticism of Tea Parties and Tea Partiers prejudice?

This is where the brilliant innovation come in. The counterintuitive answer is, NO, because they’re prejudiced.

Brilliant, no? And elegant, too. There’s a Nobel Prize waiting for the inventor of Chuckian Logic. Now Charles Johnson can join the brilliant likes of Al Gore and Barack Obama and Yassir Arafat.

    So how does that reconcile with the fact that alot of what I initially learned about Islam was from LGF back when Charles really ran it?

      You need to use Chuckian Logic™. The result from my Chuckian Inference Engine is: You’re a bigot.

      You mean when he DIDN’T really run it, when a host of bright and witty commenters and researchers drove it. :)

    Everything chuck knows about Islam could be written on a 3X5 index card with a Sharpie Magnum.

    This is really starting to look like Stockholm syndrome.

    “Ipse dixit!” is great scientific proof, oh man of science!

    This is like his defense of outing people on the grouinds of “threats” and “theft of intellectual property”, things so vague he alone would determine what was a threat/theft, only with the “bigot” charge, he can use the escape hatch that the cottage industry misled people, the same cottage industry he used from 2001-2008 as his reference desk (as opposed to whatever he uses as his sources now).

    Good grief! Now he is using Greg “Juicebox Journolist” Sargent as a source? His attempts to cozy up to outfits such as WAPO, Kos, MMFA, DU, TPM, and Think Progress know no bounds. I guess he hopes that by linking to them, they’ll sign him on.

    Chuckian Logic is similar to the old parental-standby, “Because I said so.” Wish I had a nickel for every time my Dad said that, during my adolescence.

    It only works so-so for parents, I’ve found. In real life, when dealing with autonomous adults, it doesn’t work at all. Nice try though, Chunk!

    The VAST majority of the people who are opposed to the Tea Party and the VAST majority of the people who are prejudiced against the South know almost nothing about the South. It’s absurd to claim that these people are anti-Southern because they’re “informed.” They’re informed by a cottage industry of house-bound political extremists and bigots.

      I’d generalize that to all flyover people, and then further to all conservatives and libertarians. The cartoonish notions that they have about the people who disagree with them border on Der Sturmer cartoons.

      But call one of them a hippy, and watch the fireworks.

    There seems to be a special hatred for the South on that site, to which I offer a hearty cup of fuck you to CJ and crew. I understand your point and agree with it, but there seems to be a real emphasis to take a shit on the South that is mis guided and bigoted in my opinion.

      I can tell you why they keep talking about the South. At one time or another,Some Southerner whupped their ass or/and made them crawl. Cowards. If that wasn’t enough medicine they can see me for some more.

    Oh…wait….so Charles is now an ‘expert’ on Islam? Didn’t he claim to be one before his abrupt-yet-not-entirely-unexpected-switch?

    Like he was an ‘expert’ on climate change before doing an about face regarding that?

    If you’re reading this, latter-day lizards, you better hope Charles sticks to his guns long-term and that you don’t get crushed underfoot during his next contrived idealogical pivot.
