Fact Check: Johnson DID Refer to Corrie as “Saint Pancake”

January 20, 2011

Does anybody remember what Charles Johnson told the readers of The Guardian last year, in the comment section of his (nearly as) disingenuous article about Pamela Geller*?  We do:

With regard to “St. Pancake”, this wasn’t the first time CJ had issued this denial, as the subject has periodically come up on his site in the past.  Never mind the fact that LGF golden boy Killgore Trout has used the term more than once (without consequence), or that Johnson used to give “hat tips” to someone using the nic “St. Pancake”, or that it was canonized in the (now defunct) LGF Dictionary, should we wonder how this came to be associated with (and popularized within) LGF, and why Charles has had to address this accusation so many times? 

Well, the Boiler Room crew has uncovered evidence that, contrary to his claims, the Grand Lizardoid did use this dreaded term as well. Proudly.

First, go to this thread (5/9/03):

littlegreenfootballs.com/article/6557_IDF_Raids_ISM

You’ll see that familiar image of Rachel Corrie in the article** (this picture of her burning a paper US flag was an LGF favorite at the time).  When you look at the comments, it is obvious that it wasn’t there when the thread was initially published, rather that it was quickly added upon request.  Let’s look at the exchange, because it is very revealing (especially comment #6):

Now, one doesn’t need to be Sherlock Holmes to deduce that the [deleted] comment in #3 belonged to Charles, and that he was being responded to in #5, and both quoted and responded to in #6.   Yes, Charles referred to Rachel Corrie as “Saint Pancake”, and at some point down the road, deleted his own comment (and this is likely the main reason why he made the move to block the Wayback Machine shortly after his emphatic Guardian statement, as it probably would have revealed comments like this uncensored).

Unfortunately, without the Internet Archive, we cannot resurrect the direct proof that “Saint Pancake” was mentioned in comment #3.  However, we can prove that comment 3 was Charles, and we’ll then leave it to the true LGF sycophants to twist themselves into knots denying the obvious. 

You see, contrary to popular belief, you do not have to be registered and logged in to see who authored a [deleted] comment.  All one needs is the comment URL (even the [deleted] comments have one).  For this comment #3, it is:

littlegreenfootballs.com/showc/3/218822

Then, roll your mouse over the little green football, and all will be revealed.  Check the target URL in your browser, and you’ll see: littlegreenfootballs.com/user/Charles/6557/0003/entry.  Or, just check our screenshot of the same (look in the lower left corner of the image).  Comment #3 was Charles.

Want further proof?  Just pull up the source code for the page, and you’ll see this:

Or, just view the page with the CSS turned off:

It’s now safe to say that, much to CJ’s fault and chagrin, the old “fact check your ass” players are on our team now. 

Busted. 

The World’s Greatest Blog Search Engine™ also revealed that, while the lizards had already made a few assorted “pancake” jokes, the first use of the term “St. Pancake” came from the netizen “hobgoblin”, and the debate over whether Corrie’s nickname should be “St. Pancake” or “Flat Bitch” took place on this thread on 5/8/03:

littlegreenfootballs.com/article/6535_Zerbisias_Slams_LGF

Conclusion? The term was essentially christened by CJ the next day with the “Saint Pancake” reference, and the rest is history.

*Most folks who are familiar with my positions will tell you that I’m about as far from a Geller defender as a netizen can be, but CJ has conveniently deleted relevant material concerning her as well.

**You’ll also notice that CJ refers to Corrie as “Saint Rachel Corrie” and “Saint Rachel” in the current version of the article, and we suspect that this was also retroactively changed. But, without the Archives, the evidence is a lot more elusive.

        With apologies to Dork_Fowlcum: “What Chunk is saying is….” As every school child who studies history knows, before email when one wished to “mail” correspondences to another, you used what is called an address. It would include a street address. Often abbreviated as St. As in “ 4th St.” What Chunk was saying is “Street Pancake”. Now is that so hard to understand?

        We can say that the first denial that he ever used “pancake” was in ’04, in response to something that Yglesias posted on his site. So, it is possible that he had deleted it at that point or before:

      If it’d been me who had snuck through the basement window and hacked his computer, I’d have preferred to use the term “Flat Bitch” because I happen to think “St. Pancake” is far too mild.

      Actually…I’d more likely have used “Flat C***” as being somewhat more pungent. I like to pull out all the stops. Too bad no language has words bad enough to describe the likes of Rachel Corrie and her parents and supporters.

      “They were all disloyal. I tried to run the ship properly by the book, but they fought me at every turn. If the crew wanted to walk around with their shirttails hanging out, that’s all right, let them! Take the towline – defective equipment, no more, no less. But they encouraged the crew to go around, scoffing at me and spreading wild rumors about steaming in circles and then ‘Old Yellowstain.’ I was to blame for Lieutenant Maryk’s incompetence and poor seamanship. Lieutenant Maryk was the perfect officer, but not Captain Queeg. Ah, but the strawberries! That’s, that’s where I had them. They laughed at me and made jokes, but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt, and with, with geometric logic, that, that a duplicate key to the wardroom icebox did exist. And I would have produced that key if they hadn’t pulled the Caine out of action. I, I know now they were only trying to protect some fellow officer. (He pauses – looks at all the questioning faces that stare back at him, and realizes that he has been ranting and raving.) Naturally, I can only cover these things from memory.”

      Patterico fucked that one up. He’s going to convince you and everyone else who can’t acknowledge faults on behalf of conservatives, but he’s really reaching on this. I’m sorry, guys, but Glenn Beck told his viewers that they’re going to have to shoot these people in the head and then warned them that those same people will try to shoot them first. OR, if we got with the incompetent movement conservative version, then he warned those politicians that they’ll have to shoot his viewers in the head before they shoot them first. I’m going to talk to Patterico about this; I’m sure he’d be happy to have a written debate in which everything is scrutinized.

      Also, seriously. I’m rarely amazed but I’m amazed now. Really going to try to win this one?

        But not everything that falls out his mouth is wrong. Like, one time, he ordered a tuna sandwich, and I do believe that is what his gut craved.

    I think Twitter is the best weapon we have, and I’ve said it in other threads. It’s even better in the hands of the people that CJ is starting flame wars with. As a person with a blog myself, one of the easiest tactics for generating hits is the “run of the mill” flame war.

    Something like this:

    CJ: “You’re a conservative puppy killer, huh?”
    Patterico: “Are you nuts?”
    CJ: “Shall I use Ad hominem, or vitriol? I’m a gentleman, you get the choice.”
    Patterico: “Is restraining order an option?”
    CJ: “What’s it gonna be Patty? I’ve got a legion of minions who worship me like Xerxes. I only ask that you do the same.”
    Chenzen: “Patterico, got a link to send you. Hope it helps”
    Patterico: “Hey Charles. Tag, you’re it.”
    Charles: “Dolt.”

    What a fucking loser. Charles Johnson, I know you’re (not) reading here. You’re a f#cking loser and your site is going down. And the rent on the west side of LA ain’t gettin’ no cheaper.

    See you at a Clippers game you f#cking loser. Quote me on it.

    Two things – you need monospace font – the only way to get that on DoD (AFAIK) is enclose text in <code> </code> tags.
    Second – HTML doesn’t respect more than a single consecutive space no matter how many you type, so you need to use the &nsbp; entity to get non-break spaces.

    Barrett Brown :

    Patterico fucked that one up. He’s going to convince you and everyone else who can’t acknowledge faults on behalf of conservatives, but he’s really reaching on this. I’m sorry, guys, but Glenn Beck told his viewers that they’re going to have to shoot these people in the head and then warned them that those same people will try to shoot them first. OR, if we got with the incompetent movement conservative version, then he warned those politicians that they’ll have to shoot his viewers in the head before they shoot them first. I’m going to talk to Patterico about this; I’m sure he’d be happy to have a written debate in which everything is scrutinized.

    Also, seriously. I’m rarely amazed but I’m amazed now. Really going to try to win this one?

    Yea. I watched the 20 sec video clip, and now I see this partial transcript out there, and it’s still pretty batshit. Strawmen and violent metaphors.

    Well I’ll concede your point if we stipulate that whoever was, hypothetically, incited to violence by Beck wasn’t able to correctly parse Beck’s comments. But in fact any ‘exhortation to violence’ by Beck, such as it was in that statement, was Dems on Commie revolutionaries, crudely put.

    Anyway, it’s a rare show that I can tolerate more than a few minutes of Beck before I flip away, on those rare occasions I tune him in at all; and it’s probably mostly the style of Beck that’s most off-putting.

    Get a load of this comment trying to prove Limbaugh must be a Jew-hater:

    “Hi all. Did anyone else happen to overhear Limbaugh talking about Rep. Steven Cohen yesterday? He was distinguishing between “the Steven Cohen who is on the floor…” and the Wall Street Steven Cohen; and he said ..”there are a lot of them out there… Steven Cohen on the floor now is not the billionaire Steven Cohen”
    Quote are not verbatim, but close. I cannot decide whether Limbaugh was implying there are a lot of Jews “out there”, or simply guys named Steven Cohen. Any thoughts?”

    OK. Now on Jan. 4, 20011, the New York Times had an article on…the confusion caused by having a common name such as Steven Cohen:

    “Calling Steven Cohen. No, Not That One.”
    http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/01/04/calling-steven-cohen-no-not-that-one/

    So, who weighs in to say Limbaugh is a racist? SanFranciscoZionist:

    “Rush Limbaugh is, by profession, a race-baiting asshole, but that sounds like a statement with plausible enough deniability that I wouldn’t waste any time on it.”

    And with that, commenting at the swamp grinds to a halt. Last comment was at 1107 Pacific. Chuck’s minions are not going to battle for him anymore.

    I just went over the to see C J smearing Patterico. I note a new feature; page views. He is claiming 14,000 page views and then you see 125 comments. Sound fishy?

      he ahs been at that for a while now. Every refresh counts as a unique page view. he is hurting for the advertising quatloos.

        Every refresh counts as multiple page views,he’s including lgf pages too.

        They all get lumped into together.

    Ah, I see Patterico’s moving straight to stalker talking points now. Through obsessive searching of years-old comments, they’ve discovered that I once deleted a comment in which I (gasp!) used the term “Saint Pancake.”

    I had to look up the comment in the DB because I don’t remember it, and the reason is simple – the timestamp shows it was deleted very soon after I posted it, probably because I didn’t like it and regretted using it. I say “probably” because this was so long ago and so completely insignificant I have no memory of it at all.

    I’d say this is pathetic how they’re reaching back for every tiny comment I ever made to find a smear, but if they want to waste their time I say go for it. And it’s ironic that the people who are most enthusiastically promoting the smear are exactly the same people who were banned for using it constantly — and for much worse.

      If anyone is pathetic here it is CJ for maintaining he never said something he obviously did, and was adamant about it. Claiming you never used it gave you cover or the ‘moral high ground,’ such as it might be. Since we now see that to be false, he’s a liar and therefore all statements he makes must be scrutinized accordingly.

      Really, people were banned for using St. Pancake? What, with like a 6 year time lag? I’m banning you in 2009 because you called her St. Pancake in 2003! Yeah, whatever.

    Bunk, I don’t know if you even have the time, but a picture of the bulldozer running over his deleted post would be hilarious.

    I was going to post a reply to the latest “St. Pancake” silliness, but decided it’s not worth the effort unless the nuts get crazier than they are now.

      He is not sure what other posts you have and doesn’t want to get caught in more lies.

        I gots nuttin’. Credit goes to the Boiler Room Crew Engineers. Chuck hasn’t plugged the hole in his pinata because he doesn’t know who the mole is.

      It isn’t that it isn’t worth the effort. It is that he has no defense given that his rock steady claim was that he never used the term. Either you did, or you didn’t. There is no grey area, or “gee, I forgot.”

      • January 21, 2011 at 8:17 pm | #279

        Truth is, this wouldn’t even be a topic (let alone a blog) were he honest, and if he hadn’t gone out of his way to alienate, smear and attempt to destroy previous allies.

        Shutting down Pamela Geller’s PayPal account and astroturfing reviews of her book on Amazon was despicable.

    Actually, he sent his minions out to do it for him. A number of us complained and the astroturf was removed.
