Corpulent blogger still has his “will to live”

Charles Johnson
LGF • Tue Oct 19, 2010 at 8:26 pm PDT • Views: 1,694The wingnuts are trying to destroy my will to live again. Received today from someone who still uses AOL as an Internet provider:
With your continued ripping of the right wing, noticed a drop-off in traffic? Don’t worry, your left wing buddies will make up the difference, I haven’t been here in 2 months, just thought I’d shoot you a message. Goodnight liberal. Bill
Well, that does it!
I want some traffic!
Evolution is a myth! Hispanics shouldn’t vote! Obama is a Kenyan stealth Muslim Manchurian candidate! Rush Limbaugh is God! War on Christmas! Prayer in schools! Piss Christ! Darwin was a Nazi! Hitler Hitler Hitler! Atheists are genocidal monsters! Global warming is a hoax! Black people have lower IQs! Muslims want to kill us all!
Maybe that’ll do it.
If he still has the will to live, then he still has the will to be a dickweed.
Charles Johnson, master of the straw man argument
Chuck your debating skills SUCK dude!
give it up
Really. “Black people have lower IQs” isn’t even a complete sentence.
DG – to say that they “suck” would imply that they exist at all….
He was honest about one thing though “I want some traffic”
cookbook sales are reportedly not brisk and the chuckster is a little light on cash flow
His inadequate debating skills was obvious when he could not ban the commenters at al-Guardian and he therefore had to try to refute their arguments.
he never even refuted anything either. He lied and changed the subject.
when called out with his own words from the past, he deflected the issues and resorted to his usual insults.
he made an ass of himself for a whole new bunch of people
I thought there were some decent attacks in the Guardian comments against Charles which he mostly ignored.

Charles is disingenuous at best. I have read charle’s site Little green footballs daily and have soon after 9/11 and charles expressed the very same views that Pam Geller expresses today.
LGF used to have daily posts by charles of “religion of peace” TM (for trade mark) examples of honor killings, attacks or threats to apostates and other forms of intolerance from muslim communities around the world. LGF also used to also have the Fallaci award after the Italian journalist who warned against ‘the sons of islam’ and the intolerance to women, gays, and non-muslims in muslim communities in Italy/europe. This was an honor that was voted on by LGF readers. Charles used to feature posts from the blog ‘Gates of Vienna’ and other sites that he now accuses of bigotry.
In fact the LGF banner that use to sit on top of the LGF blog used to have a picture of a terrorist in the arms of a left wing hippy type, which was a symbolic of the left wing enabling terrorism. Its ironic that charles now writes a piece in the guardian. times have surely changed.
As time went on it was charles that changed. But when he suggests that others are bigots becasue of such views he is pointing a finger toward himself. why doesn’t he address not his’break with the right’ but his change of heart???

Yes, what tarkus11 said. As yet another example, Charles used to refer to Rachel Corrie, a pro-Palestinian “activist” who was crushed by a bulldozer, as “Saint Pancake.” Google for “rachel corrie pancake breakfast.” For him to try to characterize the former tone of his site as the result of too-loose moderation is simply disingenuous.
It used to be that whenever LGF linked to any article in the Guardian, it was in the context of ridiculing them for being apologists for radical Islam, sharia, etc. In fact, his pet name for The Guardian was Al Guardian, which makes his appearance here as a columnist particularly ironic. Just do a Google search on “little green footballs” “al guardian” to see examples. But you’d better do it quick, before he goes back and “corrects” his archives.

What Chuckles Johnson doesn’t tell anyone is that prior to 2008 he was as much an anti Muslim extremist as Pam Geller. He has all but scrubbed his blog archives of any reference, (as well wikipedia) however the internet archives has all his anti muslim articles for the world to see (his blatant hypocrisy). http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://littlegreenfootballs.com

For your information, Charles believes that :
Anybody who makes a connection between terrorists and Islam is a bigot
Anybody that says they are afraid of Islam is a bigot
And he automatically accuse these people of accusing all muslims of being terrorists.
That’s right, what the terrorists themselves point out (that they are conducting their terror attacks against Innocent civillians), the average Joe isn’t allowed to say.
But are people who are afraid of Islam bigoted? Or have they only been impacted by the actions of terrorists around the world? I mean, if you witnessed 9/11, and Al Qaida declares that the murder of 6,000 people was done in the name of Islam, does it make you a racist to then be afraid of Islam?
And granted, not all muslims support terror. But somehow it seems that all of these vicious attacks that target and massacre people in dozens of countries around the world are committed in the name of Islam.
But for Charles, its bigoted of me to say that. Why? He himself can’t answer you, because he’s not willing to look inside of himself for the answers. He just wants to shout you down and shut you up. Either by accusing you of bigotry, or blocking you from posting on his website.

i genuinely wouldn’t have expected charles to leave his fortress of assent since it was discovered that he had been deleting posts which evidence his paranoid islamophobic bigotry.
equally surprising to find the guardian giving him space, as he has had quite a few nasty things to say about the guardian, none of which he’s publicly reconsidered;
“Guardian: Never Met a Jewkiller They Didn’t Like”
“…the antisemitic, anti-American Guardian newspaper…”
“Al-Guardian: Don’t Fear Shari’a
“Osama Saeed is a spokesman for the Muslim Association of Britain, and in today’s al-Guardian he argues that the West should not fear the coming dominance of Islam. …this astounding example of mainstream media dhimmitude”
etc.
this odd confluence means either charles johnson is an antisemite or the guardian is islamophobic. or both and the reverse simultaneously, i think. i guess that’s what the calculus of canned outrage and guilt by association nets you.

Do not buy Ludwig’s B.S. about how civil Johnson is or has tried to be. Ludwig is like Dr. Zaius in the movie “Planet Of The Apes”- He’s chief defender of the faith at LGF.
A know-it all who knows very little.
LGF’s hits are way down, which is why you can register there 24/7. The right despises him, and the left also despises him AND doesn’t trust him. And the number banned for daring to disagree with Johnson is now well over 2000. I was going by last year’s numbers.
Johnson “whacks” (bans) so many people Mafia hit men are jealous of him.

Charles Johnson went from writing a fairly obscure cycling blog to – what used to be – ‘the’ go-to site for journalists (I know many who use to frequent his pages often) for the most current discussion of the stories behind the stories of Islamist violence around the world, post 9-11. I remember he received a very graphic death threat from the Reuters email account connected to a well known supporter of Islam whose writings occasionally appear on CiF. LGF, Charles Johnson and his “lizard army” as he referred to his loyal supporters (many of them acting as unpaid researchers) were finding stories that the MSM would follow up weeks later … and then there was ‘Rathergate’ – Charles and the lizard army at LGF proved that a memo circulating around before the 2004 Presidential elections purporting to show that Bush was given a pass on National Guard duty – a document that Dan Rather from CBS News championed as definitive proof of Bush’s malfeasance – was a fake (quite ingeniously) and this lead to the downfall (and retirement) of one of the America’s most prolific journalists.
And then Charles ‘lost it’, as his former supporters say. He changed tact – began posting almost exclusively on climate issues – he banned many of his supporters (not raving loonies, but people Charles has given membership to and had worked with on stories for years). These moves, many believe, was in response to Charles becoming frustrated at being a very very popular blogger who wasn’t making very much money. The grass looked a lot greener on the ‘Daily Kos’ side of the street (thought LGF was bigger, Kos was making more money). Anyway, it’s a shame things worked out as they did as LGF was responsible for uncovering and bringing

Of course, one is free to make up their own mind.
It’s a fact that Charles Johnson has deleted numerous old posts and comments from his blog– hiding the same opinions he now labels “bigoted” and “hateful” and perpetrated by the “right wing” if made by others.
He’s deleted old posts that were extremely critical of leftist websites such as the Huffington Post, Daily Kos, the Guardian along with others. In those days many of the people who wrote on those websites were labeled “bigoted,” “hateful” etc. These people he now courts as reasonable and kindred spirits because they now suddenly share the same opinions. Will the real Charles Johnson please stand up?
He claims that Pamela Geller “posted more than 6,000 comments at LGF in [his] earlier days, when [his] comment moderation policy was much more laissez faire than it is now” as if to imply Mr. Johnson disagreed and was appalled even back then with all that Ms. Geller said. Ignoring that he was once her “blog daddy”!
Did you read that number? 6,000?! Yes, he let 6,000 supposedly hateful comments on his site and yet, he implies that he disagreed with all of them all because he had a laisseiz faire posting policy. He then tries to claim that he threatened to ban people that used the term “St. Pancake” but yet never once mentions that he ever threatened to ban Ms. Geller during at least her first 5500 posts. Amazing.
Of course I’d like to know that this LGF Dictionary that Mr. Johnson now renounces as if he didn’t agree with it. Again implying if there was anything in that dictionary that would “smear” him today, he “didn’t [technically] write it” and thus supposedly disagreed with it. Believable? You be the judge. He didn’t write “St. Pancake” ever?! But was responsible for dozens of posts ridiculing her death and her families’ efforts to blame Israel and Caterpillar. If Charles now seems to be so sensitive to this young dead lady, why did he “stalk” her and her family for years with critical blog posts?
I’d like to also know who came up with the constant “Religion of Peace” posts about Muslims? Who coined the term ROPMA, for “Religion of Peace my ###” Who wrote the “Palestinian Car Swarm” posts that implied that the Palestinians were animalistic and didn’t care for human life because they were Muslims.
Charles just didn’t change his opinion, he tries to whitewash his previous extremist rhetoric. He wrote hateful things about this newspaper and yet now is welcomed as if he was on their side all along.
And finally, I’d love to see what former Arab News writer John Bradley has to think of the new and improved Charles Johnson. I also know that Dennis Prager and Victor Davis Hanson are disappointed in ever having associated themselves with Mr. Johnson. But at least he has new friends here at the Guardian as long as they ignore his previous hateful comments about their newspaper.

It appears that Charles has read every one of these comments. I’m glad he has the time to do so and set the record straight.
1. If “practically everything posted by ‘spicy’ is a lie” can you address what isn’t incorrect (or to use your dysphemism a “lie’)?
2. Have you ever deleted posts or comments by you in your blog? If so, how many? Is it true that there are several blog posts of yours that can be retrieved by the Internet archive and not via your blog?
3. If you have deleted posts and/or comments of yours in your blog how can we know whether you uttered the term “St. Pancake”? Couldn’t that be one of the posts and/or comments you deleted to make this claim?
4. If we can agree you never uttered the term St. Pancake, why did you relentlessly pursue the story of Rachel Corrie and “stalk” her parents and other people who supported her?
5. How many blog posts did you devote to the Rachel Corrie over the years? Was that out of the sensitivity you had towards the tragic death of Rachel Corrie?
6. If you disagreed with the LGF Dictionary and didn’t “write” it. Why did you host it on your site? And how long is a “short time”?
7. If you always disagreed with Pamela Geller why did you allow her to post 6,000 times? And if you threatened people with banning who would post disparaging things about Rachel Corrie why didn’t you ever threaten Pamela Geller with a banning from your site before she accumulated 6,000 posts?
8. If you claim that the Guardian is “no different than any other mainstream newspaper” why did you call it the anti-American, anti-Israel, Islamist-fascist supporting UK rag”?
9. Your headline states the “moderate majority.” Do you consider yourself a member of this moderate majority?
10. Were you ever friends with Pamela Geller? And if not, why did she call you her “blog daddy”? Did she not know that you disagreed with the positions in ALL of her 6,000 posts on your website?

I’m much more scared of people who want to censor debate (You, Charles) than of people like Pamela Geller.
Robert Frost defined a “liberal” as someone who was too broadminded to take his own side in a quarrel. If that defines you then I’d rather hear from people like Pamela Geller because on the issue of confronting radical Islam if you are not prepared to go on the offensive you are irrelevant.
Oh man, does he get his fat ass handed to him in those posts or WHAT! I think it’s a relatively fair assessment that the Chunky one has no respect left for him anywhere but his own blog.
If he saw himself in a new career as a regular contributor to al-Guardian (you know, like his ridiculous threads at True/Slant) he should maybe see if Starbucks is hiring.
“trying to destroy my will to live” is a curious construct, and Johnson has used it before.
Oddly enough, the Lewd one yesterday also volunteered, apropos of nothing, that his will to live was still extant:
Armchair psychologists, make of it what you will…
Well, as one that’s actually trained, I think Ludwig suffers from “look at me, look at me, look at me” syndrome….not currently found in the DSM, but I’ll certain submit it for future editions.
Wouldn’t we call this malignant narcissism? I mean he does touch on points of classical as well.
Charles Johnson will have an epic meltdown after November 2. Watch him try to spin it into a Democratic victory.
The tidal wave will wash away what’s left of his (in)sanity as he descends into Bagdad Bob territory.
I do hope our mischievous elves will dig up some of CJ’s many earlier predictions that wingnut badcraziness will destroy the GOP’s fortunes forever and ever!
I have a feeling that Fatass will be doing some stealth banning of the few remaining non moonbats over there on election day when they are not logged in
Teh wingnuts are comin’ to get meh!
Destroying his will to live?
He is starting to sound more like Lane’s character in the Birdcage each day.
Except Lane’s character had redeeming social value. Personally, I doubt whether the cosmos cares whether Chunky has a will to live or not. I certainly don’t. He could vanish from the interwebz tomorrow and the only ones who’d give a shit would be the Manson Minions, who will be dispersed like the vampires they are into the void looking for a new mausoleum to occupy.
Out of curiosity I charted Johnson’s use of the tags “Republican”, “Democrat”, and “Bad Craziness” as a function of months since March 2006 (when he started using tags regularly). The chart is here. Prepare to be un-surprised.
There’s also a chart of the use of the tag “Pamela Geller” – no surprise there either.
Very interesting. Good work!
Nil Stooge = Super-elf!
He’s clearly going nuts.
the mind of a madman. Insanity in it’s evolving process. It’s kind of been fun to watch.
Well, he’s looking forward to watching those billions of people die. So, that’s something to live for. Gaia will be so relieved!
Besides that, there’s Miss S, of the flowy chemise and corset. Got her patched-up and ready to go for the weekend, maybe shoot down to the Ren Fest again. The cages and beakers are all sparkling down at the school, so that’s a job well done. Life is good.
I didn’t see that letter as an attempt to destroy anyone’s will to live. More like a heads up. Notice your traffic has gone to shit and you are the target of world wide ridicule? Well, there’s a reason.
True kansas, but where’s the drama in that? And Chunky always, but ALWAYS, must be the victim of something.
I, of course, believe he is the victim of bad diet, bad taste and inadequate intelligence.
If the shrieking chubbo ever has daughters, he can name them after himself: Melodrama, Paranoia, and Hysteria.
I think he’s the victim of flat tricycle tires.
The funny-sad thing is, if Blogmocracy and DD weren’t tracking the Buxom Blogger, there would have been about five comments on the Al-Guardian blurb, and his dwindling-traffic at the swamp would be down by at least a third. He should be thanking us, for keeping him afloat, even if he is floating face-down. With Lewd Thing face-down on top of him, or however you care to imagine that symbiotic coupling.
The rest of the blogosphere, on the right and left, has moved on from LGF to the point where he is rarely mentioned, except in a humorous aside at his latest desperate plea for attention. The lefties don’t want him, no matter how he grovels. It’s tragicomic. It’s “Bite Me Comix,” too.
GC – I think Chunky’s biggest fear is one day he’ll come over to DoD one day and find out that King Minos and the Myths have shut it down because there was just nothing more to say about him and we were dying of boredom…
This is Chunky’s biggest fear…
Knock knock…
Whose there?
Charles…
Charles who???
If I had gone totally insane like Chuck I’d be questioning my will to live also. Either that, or I would seek therapy right away.
Pssst….Chunky….since I know your peeping or you’ve sent one of the minions….JimRob at Freep has raised $31,000+ in his latest Freepathon. Shows you what can be accomplished when you have a blog with hundreds of thousands of members with jooooooooobs….
Mock away, fatboy. The jokes on you. If you haven’t already deleted pst thread we might even be able to find some where you actually posted on these subjects.
He’s mentally collapsing!
al-chuki failed to point out his “stats” that say he had a million gazillion clicks last month.
rotfl!
Charles, super-twit!
But Chunk – don’t worry…. Lewd Pig has your back!
Smile.
Charlene Johnston you are fat!

A cute bit of spew from Van Quack Quack
When hatred is so strong, it must break free from the bounds of grammar and meaning.
I should think that the world at large is very grateful that Ludi shares.
I wonder how often Ludi enjoys locking people up in the Abu-Ghraibs of his mind.
Wow- I just had a Cato flashback- I can’t explain it.
?
I guess the Quack Quack has never seen the statistics. Over 40% of the country define themselves as conservative, and 20% more define themselves as moderate to conservative – that’s 60% (Look Quack Quack – we DO “do math” over here!). Less than 20% define themselves in Quack Quack’s league – libturd moonbat. So you tell me, Quack Quack, since libturds see abortion as a religion, I think the “last remaining” will probably be your ilk, not ours.
What a twit.
Oh Jeez. At some point even Charles is going to tell him next time he has a thought to think real long and hard whether anyone else needs to read it. What pathetic, groveling, sycophantic noise. You can almost visualize his eyes darting upward hopefully to his mental image of papa Charles to glimpse signs of approval as he types it. Yuck.
“Homophobia” is a bogus term—a pseudoscientific political concoction designed to neutralize opposition to a political agenda.
Anyone who flings it about promiscuously, as the Mad King does, is a vile propagandist and nothing more.
Barney Frank’s Fannie and Freddie mortgage machinations have made me home-o-phobic.
Please don’t mention Barney Frank’s fanny again.
Greed, ignorance, hatred, indolence, and arrogance – sounds like a typical LGFer. Funny how he wants Republicans to be caged and die in a zoo like wild animals, yet the impotent farter calls us “hateful”.
The terror that the progressive “people of the people” have of the people is one of their distinguishing characteristics.
The Founding Fathers were nothing if not elitist—yet they devised a system which relied for its functioning on the active participation of those less elite than they, and which could (and did, until recently) withstand the addition of far more of the non-elite. They built, in other words, a system so over-engineered as to be all but idiot-proof—and it has stood, and served in good stead, until the “people of the people” got their grubby little mitts all over it. The “people of the people”—the proggies—have jiggered and hotwired and buggered the system because they, not the eighteenth-century elitists, could not stomach the freedom and independence of the less-than-elite.
Ludbitch ought to love me since I saved his life today by killing a shit eating dog.It already ate his moma.
“Piss Christ!” ?!?!?!?!???
Republicans do not appreciate art. They are censorious philistines. They simply do not understand the important social message in placing Christ in urine, or painting the Madonna in elephant dung. The latter, of course, is a telling metaphor for GOP clinging to religion.
Yet he didn’t say if he was for or opposed. And also how much traffic does he think this would get him. Apparently he forgets what got him traffic in the years after 9/11
The irony is that “Progressives” support Philistines, i.e. the Arabized descendants of the Cretan colonizers of Gaza (e.g., Goliath). And they support philistines like the mujahedin who believe that Allah commands the destruction of musical instruments (c.f. Hadith Qudsi 9:5).
The Wally is a tech-progressive. AOL users are Republican, Creationist, Stupid, Crazy, Bigoted.
Look to see “AOL-user” as an official sneer on that site.
Pre-registration days he would block all of aol for months at a time because of one or two trolls. Why didn’t I see this coming…
I believe that would be US, wouldn’t it, Roger? Because goodness knows the drivel over there now isn’t worth a second look except to be held up as an object of ridicule.
I’m not even Catholic, but I gave up LGF for corpuLent.
Leave the snarky sarcasm to me, Chuck!
Oooh oooh ooooh, Reich Wingers are at it again, hating and bigoting and being all hateful and bigoted and hatemongering and bigotrymongering against them poor, poor cuddly Brown Colonized Occupied Oppressed Muslims! What are the RethugliKKKlans going to do next, put them in concentration camps and gas them to death like their idol, Adolf Hitler, just because the peaceful, sweet, tolerant, pluralistic, Darwinist faith of Islam has been hijacked by CIA and Mossad Zio-Nazi operatives? Do those RepukeliKKKlans have no shame? Do they have NO SHAME over inciting genocide against people who only desire to coexist in peace and harmony with us, the only obstacle to which is the existence of the Apartheid State of Israel?!!!

That is correct. I hope you realize that by posting this you are perpetuating the hegemony of the Eurocentric phallocracy.

Can’t we evil thuggish hawkish neo-liberal neo-con anti-science Islamophobic racist Africophobic scum at least accept a status of humiliation, subordination, degradation, and discrimination, paying protection money to purchase the right to wear our heads for another year?
How long until he claims that the wingnuts were behind every ghazwa committed by mujahedin since 622 AD, including 9/11?
Indeed. I guess the DSMVII will need no amending. Although Quack Quack is more histrionic than anything else – he does live for the approval of the Manson Minions. A narcissist, classic or otherwise, will only be able to process that which elevates him, such as Obama. You may say to him “I am sick of defending you” and he will only hear “I am defending you.”
Computer programmers are infamous for many things, poor eating habits and indifference to cleanliness being high on the list. What would be in a cookbook written by a programmer, anyway?

* Making scorched microwave popcorn
* Reheating ramen noodles
* Locating the cheapest beer
* Customer ratings for vending machine food
* Customer ratings for “roach coach” food
* Making tomato juice from ketchup packs and water
… You get the idea!
Here’s my Dramatic Reading of this posting.
And this is an outtake from same.
Perfect for the radio show, oh hell yes
Chuck should have played “You’ll Never Walk Alone” in the background.
It’s an odd thing – you’ve got some histrionic little freak (assuming he’s not engaged in a protracted bit of performance art) spouting off – endlessly – about deporting, torturing, or exterminating his political enemies, and yet he, and the ever-dwindling numbers of head-bobbing lickspittles, see themselves as standing athwart the tide of evil and violence that typify those who disagree with them, knights in shining armor in the battle against evil.
