1 LGF still exists? Haven't been there in a long while.

2 "And so here we have Charles Johnson, jazz musician..."

Oh, man, Ace, now you've done it!  When Glenn Beck mentioned Charles Johnson on his show, he described him as a "blogger and jazz musician," and Charles was so incensed at being dissed as a mere jazz musician that he opened a can of whup-ass on Beck.  If history is a guide, this blog will now be taken down by the avalanche of new traffic and increased readership.

You gonna boil a frog too?

3 To be fair to Mr Johnson, he's an ultra cool jazz musician and blogger. With a pony tail. .

4 Hopefully we can be done with this guy now. 99.9% of the country hasn't heard of him, and if he ever was worth talking about, he's not anymore.

5 I've noticed that those libtards who say the emails mean nothing are speaking literally.  They are so fuckingly ignorant of proper scientific method that they cannot comprehend the emails, hence they "mean nothing" to them. 

6 Amazing how many of those reasons are such bullshit, but for CJ it's about damn time he's not considered "conservative" or any part of the right wing any longer. He's no longer arguing 'ideas'. He's arguing personalities.

Hey CJ, go lead your merry band of Yes Men right off the "I read LGF! I'm an idiot!" cliff..How anyone still reads him and think he's an intellectual heavyweight is beyond me.

What I haven't been able to piece together yet is this argument that Republicans want a theocracy. I've had a few other lefties tell me that but they're never able to give me rational reasons to support it other than, "You're so dumb you don't even know you want a theocracy stupid Rethuglican!"

7 Oh, good lord.  It's like saying "I don't care what you guys think" and then tapping their phones.

8 I think the word I was looking for is "talismanic." A talisman is a cheap, easy way to secure, supposedly, a boon or virtue. Put on this stupid little trinket, and your'e protected against the Evil Eye. All these cheap-minded dolts think they can slip on a little talisman -- a friendship bracelet stating they and Phil Jones are BFFs -- and they can split atoms.

9 That 'tard deserve a link like I deserve relations with Winona Ryder.

10
Pony-Tail-Fail was a conservative? That's news to me. Evidently his  Amazon pimping all week, along with his calendar whoring hasn't produced the necessary cash to pay his dealer off.

Two-Buck-Chuck is just prostituting himself  to who will ever give him some traffic now.

Enjoy your dead cat bounce bitch, your long slide into obscurity is almost at its conclusion.

11 Another analogy is the cargo cult -- find the cargo of a more advanced society, worship and praise it, because by doing so somehow you will acquire the ability to make such wonders yourself.

12 ...this goofy twat thinks he's doing "science" by rubbing SportsCreme on Michael Mann's tender taint.

Stop! Yer makin' AssWhistle jealous.

There'll be a row for sure - tender taints and sore lizards and all that.

13 If you can, do; if you can't, teach;...

And if you can't teach you consult.  In other words, you're an expert just like, Johnson, Mann and Olbermann.

14 supposedly -- I imagine his credits are limited to like "Background Horns for the Dorney Park Puppet Playhouse FunFest"

What the hell?  We don't come here and talk shit about you, Ace.  We don't want anything to do with that douche either.

15 The most important thing I took away from the comments on his proclamation is how giddy he was that people were tweeting about it.

LOOK DADDY, PEOPLE CARE ABOUT ME, LOOK LOOK LOOK LOOK LOOK LOOK LOOK LOOK LOOK AT MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

20 Wow, we earned spot on a bullet point as a nexus for "raging hate speech".  High praise coming from him.

21

Why doesn't anyone just say the truth about Charles Johnson?  

Charles Johnson is a blogger who thought he'd make a lot of money hitching his train to the right-wing blogosphere, co-creating Pajamas Media. 

It didn't work out for him, and now hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. 

Charles Johnson has always been a one-trick pony.  Anyone who disagrees with Charles Johnson is a neo-Nazi.   So, a couple years ago, DailyKos and so forth were all a bunch of neo-Nazis.  Today, Ace of Spades, InstaPundit, Pajams Media, etc, are all a bunch of neo-Nazis. 

The man is a joke.  And you can't put any stock into his moral proclaimations.  This is a man who said all of the enhanced interrogation methods against captured terrorists were akin to fraternity house hazing when he was hitched to the Pajamas Media train, but the moment that ended he started posting that interrogators had finally gone too far for him because they lied to terrorists and told them that someone might go after their families.  So, in this example, Charles Johnson was all for all the enhanced interrogation methods, but suddenly the methods had gone too far when someone told a terrorist that we'd get his family.  Merely lying to a terrorist was "over the line"!   Well, just because Charles Johnson was mad t the right-wing blogosphere.

And you can only laugh at how he claims to be all about science, but his only contribution to the Climategate story is to say, over and over, "It's a phoney nontroversy!!!!"

Anyway, I found his list of reasons he parted ways rather pathetic, because it reveals a man who is obsessed with nothing more than the blogosphere.  Oh, he's mad at Ace of Spades, Hot Air, etc etc.  What a small, silly man!  He bases his opinions on the issues facing our nation and the world on whether he's mad at Allahpundit for not deleting comments that attack him?  LOL

22 The hate speech he alludes to is mostly people trashing Charles Johnson. He'll deny that, of course, and say it's because his own coblogger (or whatever) Kligore Trout infiltrates other blogs and posts the n-word, thus proving they are "hate sites," somehow. But it's because you guys trash him that it's "hate speech."

23 Does this mean we don't have to talk about him all the damn time anymore?

24 Johnson helped bring down Dan Rather, and hasn't done much worthwhile since. Fuck 'em.

 I was thinking the exact same thing not long ago about LGF being like a Cargo Cult. That's an excellent comparison.

The only difference is, they get all their cargo off of Amazon.

26 no... jean is saying we add to our own by subtracting him. Catch up. Posted by: ace

Sorry, still doesn't make sense. 'We' did nothing; the malcontents in the form of Spector and UpChuck removed themselves.

27 So, Lil' Chuckie just flounced. Adios chump, enjoy your ever diminishing cult.

28 It's interesting, the guy who forced Rather to say "fake but accurate" is completely dense to the fact he's carrying water for the climate clowns. Wait, did Rather say that or just everyone who wanted to believe it? The data may be fake but global warming is sooooooooooo real.

29 Everybody give a Dorney Park welcome to...wait, what?...he's not here?...who are they?...ok then...Kenny G Jr and the CeeJays!

30 I think the "cargo" that fell on CJ was a load of bat guano headed for a mushroom factory.

31 Lawlz!! Funniest thing I've read all week, rubbing SportsCreme on Michael Mann's tender taint. Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!

32 Did rather say that? I don't think he did: His claim has remained that the documents COULD, maybe, possibly, even be real.

33 ohhhhhh. Markos tweeted earlier that something really good is going to happen this Wednesday. Some thought he might have a permanent guest gig on MSNBC -- but maybe he's going to join up with LGF.

35 Will this post finally be the end of people here referencing that website and its founder?  Please?

36 Charles' headline is tantamount to a Rosie O'Donnell admission that she is an insufferable fat bitch.

37

So Charles Johnson is severing ties with the right? Kierkegaard summed up my feelings nicely when he said:

 "Who gives a flying fuck."

 

38
Oh yea, and ace, have you seen Charles play on YouTube? Musician is much too kind a word.

Maybe one day he'll find something he's good at it.

39 I was banned from even "looking" at this dickhead's site a few months back. He seems to have borrowed his blog management skills from the global warming scientists. Dissention will not be tolerated. Look! A King's X video!

40 He's just squealing with delight over the attention he is getting on twitter for it. And his minions are lining up to give him the obligatory blow job. I just do not get all that "oh, charles, you're so big and hard" bullshit they all spew in every thread. Yech.

41 Markos tweeted earlier that something really good is going to happen this Wednesday

Following Obama's announcement Tuesday, all US troops stationed overseas and in Texas will be carrying out orders to retreat in all due haste?

42 What the fuck prompts these turncoat dumbasses (CJ, Michael Smerconish, etc.) to shit all over the people that supported them? Either its giddyness over the love they recieve from the NYT set, or thier thinly veiled homosexual longings for some fresh obama ass pie, but either way i'm fucking sick of it.

You'd know what he meant if you've ever been on your way to take an epic Ocean picture while sitting on a rusty bicycle pole and smacked a curb.

49 They're really having quite the circle jerk over there over how brave Charles is and what a shame it is that the right wing is exactly as he proclaims.

Karol at Alarming News made a great point:  he's basically a political weather vane, glomming onto whichever side happens to be in power at any given time.  He would have pulled this crap four years ago if Kerry had won.

Who will be surprised when he oozes back to the Right after Obama finally leaves office, claiming that the Left went too commie for him.

What a douchetool.

50

CJ will cease to exist, as a fell tree in the forest that no one was around to hear, the moment everyone collectively decides not to respond to his taunts.  But it has to be out of true boredom with his stchik.  You have to FEEL it.  We're not there yet, but the brazen taunting of this CJ hit piece indicates we're getting close.  Close to the moment when no one even cares enough to bang out a response.  And then he is as he hever existed.

51

Who will be surprised when he oozes back to the Right after Obama finally leaves office, claiming that the Left went too commie for him.

 

Who told you of my plans?

 

52 A recent collegaue postulated that Johnson's political orientation is, simply, "Pro-President", that is, he is for whatever his President is for, with a few tweaks here and there, and against whomever attacks the President.  As good an analysis as any other, except for the one in which CJ is just a f'ing douche who enjoys antagonizing people, needs to be the center of attention, can't let go of the prominent high-status role he had in early blogging history,  and is now applying grouchy-old-man behaviors to the blogosphere.

53 I keep a "going completely batshit insane" pool along with my "dead pool." I had thought that Excitable Andi would be the one I would see on the news being dragged off a la Britney Spears in the nut wagon. Charles has now edged him out.

54

Here's how the sick mind of Charles Johnson works:  He was going after Pamela Gellar (he used like her so much that he designed her web site).  Robert Stacy McCain attacks him for it.  He gets mad and, as he always does when he's mad at someone, attempts to manufacture the proof that McCain is a Neo-Nazi white supremacist.  Then, anyone who ever links to, posts anything from, or says anything nice about Robert Stacy McCain is, of course, also a Neo-Nazi white supremacist.  Thus, when InsaPundit linked to McCain, InstaPundit became a Neo-Nazi white supremacist.  And When Pajamas Media posted something by McCain, that site became a Neo-Nazi white supremcist site.  The other day, Charles Johnson warned his commenters that anyone linking to Pajamas Media was doing the equivalent of linking to the Neo-Nazi web site Stormfront.  He really said that. 

And he calls other people deranged? 

I find it interesting to browse over a comment section at LGF now and then, because of how suffocating it feels.  The authoritarianism.  The obsessive-compulsive, anal, control-freakazoid climate going on there. 

It actually makes ME wonder about the right-wing blogosphere.  How did the right-wing blogosphere ever buy into a crakpot jack-ass like and obviously mentally-ill person like Charles Johnson to begin with?  Because he helped expose Rathergate?   He didn't even break that story, though he likes to take all the credit.  In fact, the story was broken by someone on Free Republic, a site Charles Johnson now considers a Nei-Nazi, white supremactist blah blah blah site. 

Charles Johnsons' blogosphere career is destined for the same dustbin of history that his jazz recordings are in.

55 He smears everyone. I'm so sick of it. His intolerance is legendary and his constant need for agreement and adulation is down right creepy. Looking forward to his inevitable and continuing fall.

56 Charles Johnson?  Never heard of him.

"Nontroversy..."

The snow globe (the "Global Warming" special from Amazon, featuring a melting glacier on Kilmanjaro) falls out of his hand, rolls slowly across the floor.

60 Absolutely pathetic.

I stuck by Johnson for a real long time.  I read his blog for years.  He used to be a generally agreeable fellow.  Even when he changed his focus from the wars to science, I was fine with it.  This post, for me, basically says, "Hey, remember all that I did for the past eight years?  Yeah, it's crap.  Fcuk all you guys, I'm taking my ball and playing elsewhere."

Well good luck with that, Chuckie, have fun.  But your new "friends" are gonna have as much respect for you as a Tijuana whore and'll treat you just as well.

Damn shame, really.  He proved that anyone with a little common sense and tenacity could do big things.  Alas, how far he has fallen.

I actually kind of pity him.  He never learned a lesson that most conservative people that I know learned from birth.

;">"For over a thousand years Roman conquerors returning from the wars enjoyed the honor of triumph, a tumultuous parade. In the procession came trumpeteers, musicians and strange animals from conquered territories, together with carts laden with treasure and captured armaments. The conquerors rode in a triumphal chariot, the dazed prisoners walking in chains before him. Sometimes his children robed in white stood with him in the chariot or rode the trace horses. A slave stood behind the conqueror holding a golden crown and whispering in his ear a warning: that all glory is fleeting."

70 Two years ago, LGF was good stuff, and CJ was proudly showing off his newest toys -- many self-developed.

Now, he's totally looped. His sh*t is pissy, intolerant, doesn't make sense, etc. Traffic must be going over the falls. I know that my daily visits have dropped to...er...well....none.

Are we sure, as a community, that he's ok? Calling the current version a dumbass is one thing -- but if we find out that he's got a malignant brain tumor, will we regret the things we say today?

I know he's rubbing a lot of people the wrong way -- and much of what he has done of late is morally and intellectually indefensible. For me, though, that reinforces the belief that "he isn't himself".

Although I can well understand a certain CJ hostility, I'm worried about him. Is there anyone who can ensure that there isn't a biological component to CJ's behavior?

74

Yes, Charles Johnson is the most intolerant person in the blogosphere.  But I love how he tries to say he went from global warming skeptic to true believer because he did all the push-ups and studied hard.   I've yet to see any proof of all his studying of science.  He just says, over and over, that the debate is over, there is a scientific consensus, and you are insane if you question it.   Charles Johnson has always loved authoritirians, that much has always been clear. But there's no proof he knows a damn thing about science.  His deep contribution to the Climategate scandal was to just say, over and over like a brainless monkey, "It's all a phoney nontroversy!!!!!" 

75

Two years ago, LGF was good stuff, and CJ was proudly showing off his newest toys -- many self-developed.

What, his web site?  His site's always been a buggy piece of shit that takes longer to load than any other site on the Internet.

It seems like every time I turn on the History Channel lately, there's ole CJ on Pawn Stars trying to sell that phoney Victorian era jousting helmet replica....yeah, the one with the big modern screw sticking out of the visor. Do they only have one episode of that show?

Charles Johnson wasn't always as nutty as he is today, so you probably shouldn't wonder too much. Maybe he was crazy the entire time but it went unnoticed because he never really wrote that much. He linked to stories, added a one or two sentence quip and his readers did the rest. The crazy didn't really come out until he was on his denouncement and purge binge. When that happened he was cut some slack for a few weeks and then he went off the rails at light speed. His toadies are as disturbing as he is, maybe more so. I'm pretty sure his change of attitude isn't an economic decision.

85 CJ is why the blogosphere can't have nice things.

Btw, as he was never of the right, how exactly can he part ways with us?  Tomorrow he's going to walk up to a random woman on the street and indignantly demand a divorce.  What a nutter.

86

I think he strained his neck trying to give himself a blumpkin.

That must be why he's so cranky.

 

87 77
79

Let's just say that I've long been horrified at the prospect of possession.

CJ's opinions flopping 180-degrees, personality changes, and paranoiac ravings about certain subjects are not uniformly characteristic. It wouldn't surprise me at all to find out that something were seriously wrong.

I hope that he finds appropriate care soon. Much of the crud spewed upon his blog would make more sense if it were exuded from a cancer.

he is even selling a CALENDAR of his dirt, knob and leaf photos. godstruth

oh, and he details his 1337ness in coding by typing out the details to his latest comment slowing feature no one wants, because he's "received dozens of emails asking how I did that latest awesome thing I did"

101 Charles explains that he's Leaving the Right?

Well, THANK YOU CAPTAIN OBVIOUS!

102 He obviously fashioned himself as some kind of player in center-right spheres, but he didn't have the intellectual heft and strength of character/personality  to carry it off. It really burns his ass that Michelle Malkin is a famous author with a six figure income while he sells sex toys and Swiss Army knives on Amazon. The left will always look at him sideways and the right is laughing at him. When he called Zombie a liar, he destroyed his career. He's a pathetic character assassin now, reduced to lashing out at anyone and everyone who does not understand his so called brilliance.

Thus, the purity is maintained.

Nice he gave Ace a shout-out in the main post, though

107 What is interesting to me is that way back, five six years ago I used to occassionally look at lgf, but my usual response, was, this guy is really iliberal, with all his whining about dhimmitude and really freaky "recovered liberal" excesses. Over the years since a lot of friends have mentioned things over there, and been confused I don't reaf him, but I don't read Malkin either. Now I see what outrages him about the "right" is the sorts of stuff he used to spew and PAT BUCHANAN, that is just crazy shit, because first of all Buchanan is to the "Right" what Tito is to the left, heck Ron Paul is a more typical member of the Right than Buchanan. And second is our outright hate toward Muslims. Nothing ever on Ace of Spades or Instapundit, or heck even Commentary ever approached the anti muslim tirades on lgf. So I guess he just got disgusted at himself.

108 Ace won't read this but I have to say that Ace went off yesterday. He posted 3 or 4 rants and several other good posts. So if you see this Ace, well done.

112 The hilarious part is Johnson was the biggest Anti-Islamic bigot around as little as 2 years ago. Its 1 of the 2 reasons I stopped going to his site--the other being the terrible loading times for pages.

Now he's complaining about right wing bigotry? And meanwhile going off on Christians as if they're posing the same threat as suicide bombers? And trumping up creationism---which was a tempest-in-a-teapot controversy while dismissing climategate?

Me thinks he's sucking up to the new guys in power.

113 Gotta say this, watching Chuckie rant is kind of entertaining, it's fun to watch a nutjob drool out all sorts of crazy shit.

If it weren't for that, he'd still be an asshole, he'd just be a boring asshole

114 117 Gotta say this, watching Chuckie rant is kind of entertaining, it's fun to watch a nutjob drool out all sorts of crazy shit.

If it weren't for that, he'd still be an asshole, he'd just be a boring asshole

I hate to say this, but I go to LGF for the laughs. It's comedy gold over there, they just don't know it.

115 Me thinks he's sucking up to the new guys in power.

Might be some reason we don't know about yet. Kind of like how andi sullivan went eagerly into Obama's alimentary canal and conveniently got his pot possession charges dropped due to intervention by the Justice Dept.

I read that Chuckles had some differences of opinion with the tax man over his income from the Paypal button. Tax man says "income", Chuckie says "gifts"

116 I really don't understand what happened to Charles.  The end came for me, as it did for many of us, when he cancelled my account after I disagreed with him about something.  I took the time to write a reasoned and I think accurate statement about the "dreaded" Obama as a witch doctor photo, pointing out that satire which makes use of his race while making a point is not an attack upon him for being a member of that race or an attack on other of that race.  It isn't racism in other words.  Next thing I know his P.C. posse are responding with irrational nonsense about how slavery 150 years ago means no one can criticize black people today.  Meanwhile I'm unable to address these nutty posts because my account is gone.  If I sound bitter it is because I am.  It is one thing to disagree with what I say and to tell me I'm wrong, it is quite another to banish me for having a contrary point of view.  Only a bully and a coward does that.  Those of us who seek to know and live with the truth do not respond to honest disagreement by sticking our fingers in our ears and going "na na na na."

I've always made the mistake of trying too hard to understand where other people are coming from.  When someone is out in la la land, ideologically inebriated, or simply lying, I try to make sense of what they are saying.  This often amounts to trying to fit a square peg into a round hole.  Afterwards, when their disconnect with reality is woefully apparent, I feel like a fool for trusting that they were honest and rational.  This is how I feel about Charles.  Somewhere along the line he went off the rails.  Maybe we should start calling him Darth Johnson.

I truly don't know what happened to Charles, but I do know that he'll fit in very well among the intellectual xenophobes of the left where unthinking ideological orthodoxy is seen as a virtue instead of the character flaw that it is.

117 Ten reasons he's parting ways with the right. Let me save you some time: Just say "Anakin Skywalker - Palpatine". I think that about sums it up.

118 Hey, alright, I was just gonna log in to my old LGF account to comment on Chuckle's little tirade and I just found out I was blocked.

Awesome!

I feel like an internet superhero now.

Do I get a card?  Or maybe some kind of certificate?

119 #122---Robert--- Yes!  You do!  Go to Kirly's and get enrolled in the honor roll of the banned.       http://www.kirls.blogspot.com/

120 Van Jones just emailed to say he's become disillusioned with being a right-winger.

121 re: 122 you go here: http://kirls.blogspot.com/2009/05/banned-monium.html

122 why do we all seem to care? I mean, the guy is a prick, he's banning his way into having about 10-12 hard-core sycophants and himself echoing the same tropes (mostly about how awesome cj is)

I guess it's because in the heady days of Rathergate, a number of blogs built up communities, and they attracted people according to the type of site they presented and the attitudes, etc. No one gives a shit Balloonjuice went lefty, because he had zero community. But cj successfully built up a large community, then he suddenly not only starts attacking them, he attacks the entire right and every blog on the right. At the same time he lumps every far right fanatic in with every other Republican or conservative, he reserves for himself the conceit that he occupies the perfect, rational center, and he is not responsible for the hard left loonies, even if anyone right of center is responsible for neo-nazies.

When everyone gets over this, we'll all be a lot better off, and he'll be a lot sadder and bitterer, even than he is now. He REVELS in the fact we all care enough about him to talk about him. He's on his thread now, bragging about how many people are tweeting about him.

starve the beast

123 The most unprecedentedly disturbing part of this whole sordid,  noisome affair is what may have been that catalyst for Ace's hatred of hobos and reliance on the sweet, sweet nectar that is valu-rite.  What really happened backstage at an REO Speedwagon performance at Six Flags in 1977?  

124 Hey give him props for using (wearing) the products that he endorses on his page.

I did see Huggies on there after all.

125 So Chucklehead, you're parting ways with the Right because we are the Right? The same right that we have been since before you began pretending you were one of us? The same Right that we have been since at least the 1980s? And now that you've winnowed your devotees into nothing but "green book" waving zombies you're going to write some sad, stupid piece pretending that somehow the Right left you? Dude, if evolution were true your kind would have been removed from the gene pool millions of years ago.

126 128 Hey give him props for using (wearing) the products that he endorses on his page.

22 ace,

I don't get his continued mad-on versus HotAir...

Allah/Ed/and or Michelle gave him what he wanted vis a vis his KT raid and ran off several people and watched their threads suffer less than one third the responses they normally got as a result.  What more can BikeBoy the JazzSinger want than the protection they gave him?

Chuckles Johnson, Shamu, and KKKT now with double the crazy at 1/2 the price.

130 How soon before CJ is on MSNBC promoting his blog? I noticed after the election that the tone of the comments, and LGF posts changed. I don't mind counter points based on facts. We know that there are plenty of liberals with Bush Derangement Syndrome, Palin Derangement Syndrome, and on the right there is Obama Derangement Syndrome. Call it out when you see it. I also like it when a blog will not always parrot the party line and make you think. So if Stacy McCain is a white supremacist, then prove it. But know full well that when you call a right wing person a racist, a white supremacist, a fascist; the left will pick up on that right away and run with it. You will smear this guy forever if you are wrong. If you are a Christian, you have a strike against you. If you think that gay marriage is not necessarily a good thing for society, you are a homophobe. On and on. I quit reading him a while ago. I still go over and take a glance when some interesting news comes out to confirm what I already knew. CJ lives in an idealized world. It was once a good blog. Now it's crap.

131

"Bunsen Burner", Ace.  Thus the entire thread is nullified.  Sigh.

Remember the rules?  Any mistake on the right is fatal to our argument, while lefty "scientists" get to just make shit up.

132 131 Ten reasons he's parting ways with the right

Didn't we break up with him like 6 months ago or something? Posted by: Che Pizza at December 01, 2009 05:49 AM

We told him "it's not you, it's me" and "I think we should see other people"

133 Over the past few years I've gotten the distinct impression that Chuck is noting more than a lefty that was "scared straight" by 9/11. He, like the rest of the country, jumped on the pro-Bush, pro-war bandwagon. But Chuck is an us vs them kinda guy, he has to see those that disagree with him as evil, ignorant and evil. Since he was emotionally pro-Bush then the Bush-hating Left had to be bad guys (this also got the attention-whore adulation that he so badly needed), but like much of the country he grew Bush and war weary and, even more, his deep-seated liberalism began to override his knee-jerk conservatism. And then, just like Chuck had ridden the popular pro-Bush wave, he wound up being caught up in the pro-Obama wave (who agreed with his core principles anyway). This was the last straw, and it was his way out. But Charles being the "thinker" and "intellectual" that he is couldn't admit all of this, so he has to blame other people for his switch. The Right is the reason he's divorcing them, The Right is the one who changed, not him. And since he still has that "us vs. them" mentality, then he is going to be as anti-Right now as he was anti-Left back then. Also, the left and the MSM like nothing more than a "conservative" turncoat. He'll be their darling for a while, like what'shisname and thatotherfrum.

134 The ten REAL reasons he's parting ways with the right. 1) He's upset at all of the wedgies and swirlies that we keep giving him. 2) As much as he tried, he can't ban all of us. 3) "No! YOU are NOT breaking up with me! I'M breaking up with YOU". 4) Liberal chicks think that guys who say "Adieu" and have pony tails are teh hawt. 5) Liberal GUYS think that guys who say "Adieu" and have pony tails are teh hawt. 6) He has the emails to prove that creationism is wrong, but we won't read them. 7) He'd rather be liked than respected. His pussy hurts. 9) We don't believe that the ClimateGate emails are fake because of their font. 10) LGF has been nominated multiple times (don't look at me) for Best Liberal Blog of the 2009 Webblog Awards.

135 Charles Johnson and Little Green Footballs?  Hey, I've heard of them!

136

Charles is an internet loudmouth. I used to like going to his blog, and I got some grief for my opinions, but no big deal. Never got banned. Then he instituted his suck up machine, obtained some toadies, and the group think that was always present there got awful.

It used to be someone would post something like "Islam is an evil cult. It ruins everything it touches." and nobody would care. I notified the guy about stuff like that in his comments: he did dick all.  At one time he didn't have a problem if people said that headscarves were the equivalent of Nazi swasticas. He used to say (apropos of Hotair) that the comments weren't HIS business, not HIS opinion, but he knew what that idiot bigel was posting on his site, and didn't seem to mind the calls for pre-emptive genocide.

I still go there on the occasion, to watch him pimp for Amazon.com. "Hey guys! Look at these kewl Halloween costumes for kidz!" Gravitas, gravitas..... 

137

141,

 

I figure Chuckles and Amazon is his expression of regret at not getting to sucker folks with AMWAY....

138

Personally, I'm a bit confused now. I still love the guy, but he's getting less and less coherent. Don't be so mean to him: he has troubles.

 

Gotta go. Emember-ray, I asn't-way ere-hay.

139

HATERS! YOU'RE ALL A BUNCH OF HATERS!

And I mean that as a compliment, of course.

Charles Johnson Parts Ways With Reality

140

A partial list of Little Blue Toadstool's "partners":

Fatburners:

Boda Extract No.3 Best fat burner pill ever!

Fundraisers:

ABC Fundraising. Includes links to highest fund raising cookie doughs, candles and pretzels.

Alternative Medicine:

Medical Marijuana Group. Stoned = healthy.

Online casino:

Casinò On Line. A great place to lose money if you understand Italian.

Chucky certainly has an eclectic group of  borderline criminal friends.

141

I recall one of the running jokes on LGF was about how technologically backwards Muslim countries were, and that all that Islam had contributed was tthe invention of the buzzing prayer rug. At one point the journal Science published some examples of true Penrose tiling from medeival Islamic sites, and a lot of people were saying "No, can't be! Those durnn muslims didn't do that, and anyway, that isn't really math!" (Which, guys, it IS, unequivovally. Duh).

But oh yeah, HE wouldn't hate. He's waaaaaay too enlightened. And hey, did you see this nifty new can opener? No fuss, no mess, and you can buy it at Amazon.com!

142

Police shot and killed cop killer Maurice Clemmons.

143

148 Tinian,

see my hater day is starting off better already....

 

cops killed the copkiller, and the copkiller killed Huckadoodle's aspirations.

144 Police shot and killed cop killer Maurice Clemmons. Mixed emotions. On one hand, prefer to see him suffer, OTOH, this was a mad dog that was put down.

145 @138: 3) "No! YOU are NOT breaking up with me! I'M breaking up with YOU".

I think we have a winner. It's all about ego, and started with the Pam Geller attendance at the anti-Jihad conference in Brussels in 2007. I have to say, it's been bizarre and troubling watching such a public meltdown -- it reminds me of Andrew Sullivan's volte-face in 2004, when he went nuts after Bush came out against gay marriage. To me, this seems like something far more personal than political, and that's when I start tuning out as a blog reader.

Of course, there's another reason. I just checked Technorati and the formerly Top 10 LGF is no where near the Top 100. The traffic rank is 26,483th. Something had to be done! Watch out HuffPo.

146 Bicycle girl banned me a couple of weeks ago for making a 35 cent donation of which Charles receives about a penny. The funniest thing are some moderates in the comments who rightfully believe he went completely David Brock. Coming out of the closet should hurt his traffic even more.

147 The pony tail should have been a clue. Normally only grown men with pony tails are left wing moonbats. Half of my college profs had pony tails.

148 123

125

Hey, awesome!  Thanks a bunch.

Oh, look, cop killer's dead.  One less piece of shite walking the Earth, thank goodness.

149

Charles = L. Ron Hubbard

His dozen or so hard core suckups = Sea Org

150 If you can, do; if you can't, teach; and if you really, really want to do but haven't the training or talent, just gush about those who do like you're a groupie that just slipped backstage at an REO Speedwagon performance at Six Flags in 1977.

Classic!  This actually did make me "lol."

151 I don't get using Sarah Palin and tea parties as examples of "hatred". The continued reference to "birthers" too, call me when people start saying Obama murdered 3000 people or started an entire war just to steal oil and laugh maniacally. Sorry but the left set the bar pretty high on conspiracy theories to get pissed about.

152 When blogs were first getting big, oh, say ten years ago or so, I remember looking at LGF and bookmarking it.  Some years ago, I went through my bookmarks and deleted LGF because it sucked and that was all that realy mattered.

153 Well, I went and read his Opus.... that boy ain't right in the head. He's trying to be the next Cindy Sheehan but he doesn't have her looks to pull it off.

154 Charles Johnson just emailed me to say he would write a response, but he can't, he's too busy arranging the beakers and and getting a nice blue flame on his Busnon burner. He's going to be really adjusting some variables today and other such things of a scientific-sounding nature.

Something like this, presumably:  http://www.metacafe.com/watch/210225/proof_of_9_11_conspiracy/

155 "REO Speedwagon performance at Six Flags in 1977"

Hey, I think I was there that day. It was fookin' hot. The weather, that is.

"Charles Johnson, jazz musician [for] 'Background Horns for the Dorney Park Puppet Playhouse FunFest'"

Hey, again. I think they opened for REO. I don't remember seeing pseudo-geeky pony-haired doobie man, though. He could have been in the back emptying Playhouse Funfest's spit valves. I was too hopped up on cotton candy and Coke to notice. Or care.

Just like now. Except with ho-bo-que and Valu-Rite.

156 Ace, Charles Johnson called.  He said if you are going to ride his ass, at least pull his hair too.  He likes it (why do you think he has the pony tail?). 

157

It's not that he's parted ways with the right that makes me sick. It's that he's a full-blown, whining, sniveling leftist asshole. The fucking jerk thinks everyone and everying that opposes him is a fascist or a racist.

This is also what I don't get. Beck, Limbaugh, Geller, etc, etc....they aren't new faces on the right. They've been there for years. I've listened to beck since 2001. Their rhetoric hasn't changed. So did CJ just discover them???? And why such a huge turn now???? The whole thing reeks.  

I've always suspected that he considered himself to be the "king of the blogosphere," and when people didn't bow down to him and his opinions, it garnered sort of a "well I'm taking my ball and going home" kind of response. It's very childish. His ranting about leftist causes he didn't give a shit about for years and years, I think are nothing more than an attempt to spite those that wouldn't kiss his ass like brainwashed followers. Doubt he's even a true leftist, but really nothing more than a narcissistic jerk with no friends. The way he has managed his blog the last year or so show that.

And I wish someone would tell that fuck that putting the phrase "white supremacist" in front of someone's name isn't fooling anyone. People know CJ is about: slandering anyone that didn't get in line with him and his opinions.

Oh, the Amazon peddling is fucking pathetic. And so is his music. Actually found clips on youtube of that asshole playing backup guitar with some band I've never heard of. He sucks on guitar.

Hey charles, I'm idling my car as I type this.

Fuck you and your ponytail.

158 If you take all of his little 10 points they could all be applied to the left in the past 8 years with about 1000 examples for each one. We ain't even a year into this guys first term, call me when people on the right are writing plays about _______ (I do not even wanna write it) or calling O the worlds #1 terrorist and that gets defended. Seriously wake me up when that happens.

159 Adios, motherfucker.

Now can we please stop talking about him?

160

WHY CAN'T YOU ALL JUST LEAVE CHARLES ALONE????

CAN'T YOU SEE HE'S TRYING TO SAVE THE PLANET AND YOUR SOULS ALL BY HIMSELF????

LEAVE CHARLES ALONE!!!!!!!!

161 IF THERE WAS SUCH A THING AS A SOUL.....BUT LEAVE CHARLES ALONE!!!!

162

I FUCKING MEAN IT!!!!!

LEAVE CHARLES ALONE!!!!!!

163 The fact that I was backstage at an REO Speedwagon Concert in 1977 shames me beyond belief.  The fact that they led off for Kiss makes it doubly worse.

164 Some say that he and Andy Sullivan are dating and may have a love child.

165

It seems he is saying he abandoned his principles because of personalities.

166 I have never seen anyone so paranoid as ponytail boy.

167

 "...rubbing SportsCreme on Michael Mann's tender taint."

Greatest line ever.

168 That shot at Dorney Park is completely uncalled for.

169 It seems he is saying he abandoned his principles because of personalities.

Considering all his examples of folks being haters is simply citing the same names repeatedly, I'd say that's a fair assessment.

170

Uh, Sarah Palin spread her homophobic hatred during the '08 campaign by talking about she and a lesbian friend of hers had opposing views on gay marriage but still loved each other.  So where's the hatred?  Apparently, in Chuckles's mind.

Also, I hope CJ realizes that he is helping to spread making money by spreading Ms. Palin's hatred.  I just checked the comments for his top 10 list (which he says that he wrote in about 3 minutes; really, I couldn't tell), and there are two big ads for News Max offering her book for free.  Oh the humanity!

171

>the copkiller killed Huckadoodle's aspirations.

good

fuckabee has to answer to the murdered cops' families, then I hope he fucking goes away

plus- have you seen the guy lately? he's definitely back on the donuts again- pretty soon he will have to be lowered into position by crane to do his Fox show

172 Seriously, I had always wondered how this guy felt that being a former jazz hack, and now a self-taught PHP programming hack somehow elevated him to "scientist" status. He, of course will indignantly deny that he's never claimed to be a "scientist", but for all intents and purposes it's more than obvious that the man fancies himself as one. It must be awfully embarrassing for him to realize that virtually all of his peers have called him on his facade, and that he's no longer taken seriously. It's sort of a shame. The man should have left well enough alone.

173 If Sully is 2007, then Chucko is 2009, which makes AllahPundit 2011.

Mark my words.

174 I just never cared about his opinion on anything.  The anti-Islamist posts were not as well researched as those of Robert Spencer or Hugh Fitzgerald.  There was never any intellectual content or analysis that made me want to read more of his thoughts.  I had gone over there about seven years ago because people I agreed with were mentioning LGF.  I looked around for a week or two and in my moron head went "meh" and deleted the bookmark.  Haven't been back in all this time so I probably still have an account.  Nothing has made me the least bit curious what went on over there. 

175

Who cares about any of this?

PFJ, JPF, PJF

Splitters!

176 Here's what I don't get. CJ's incredibly bad timing. Like when allegedly conservative early bloggers like Andrew Sullivan or John Cole jumped ship in 2004-05 or whenever it was. At least they had a certain figleaf for their opportunism, because the Bush White House and the GOP Congress were starting to make a real hash of things. But with CJ, if he was going to make the big opportunistic jump to the other side, um, the time for that was maybe back in the summer of '08, when all the RINO's were doing it. So to go whole hog to the Democratic left now, right when the Obama White House and Congress are starting their own meltdown? Talk about not picking your timing well. It's like if Glenn Greenwald had published a few pieces in the Weekly Standard in 2005 before joining the editorial board in 2006.

177 Not selling any calendars, I guess, so we're dead to him.

178 Charles Johnson played fusion jazz with the likes of Stanley Clarke. Fusion has aged as well as my uncle's leisure suits.

179 I honestly think that Chuckie parted ways with the Right when the GOP and BUsh started to lose popularity.  And he then hitched his star to the ObamaTrain, because they were the Next Big Thing, and it ain't really worked out for him.

IOW, Chuckie wants popularity and the rewards that come with it, but, apparently, he's Asperger's enough that he can't predict how normal humans will react to his flip-floppery.

I think this little Hissy-Fit Manifesto is simply a plea for DU and Kos readers to come buy his calendar.

180

All CJ really wants is that 2 paragraph national news story.  He will be clipping out the sought-after phrase (obligingly provided by the lefty media):

"Respected long-time conservative blogger slams right-wing blogosphere as 'hate-filled, racist and anti-science'".

After taping the clippings on his bedroom wall, he'll masturbate without the aid of standard pornography, fall back into his fold-out bed and fall asleep without even cleaning himself up.

The simple pleasures

181 The real reason for LGF/Charles Johnson to flip is because he has publicly stated that the income from blog is down considerably - post-Pajama-Media days. I guess that he feels by turning his blog into an Amazon.com affiliate and posting dodgy text ad links does not reek with desparation. So, by trying to cull the pockets of the extreme left with his anti-Christian hate speech and Global Warming cheer-leading, I guess he believes its a reasonable new revenue source.

182 I tried to log on with with my old sign so I could bid him a pleasant sayonara and get banned as I went out the door but I couldnt remember it. I thought the comments of his remaining readers emabarrasing.  Good luck on your honeymoon with Andy Sullivan.

183

@43 - Michael Smerconish is Charles Johnson without the ponytail.  I wish people outside of Philly would wake up and realize that.

184 Now's a good time to explain what Little Green Footballs really are: boogers.

185 I think this has more to do with his recent divorce (even women outgrown the ponytail, their own, and certainly their man's ponytail) and being openly fired by Pajamas Media. Also, for a man requiring sycophants and group-think he rightly realizes the left is a better place to procure such wants. What is great is that, if this guy thinks NOW is the correct time to gravy train the Left he is woefully mistaken.

186 So basically his traffic and revenue took a hit so this is his way of making up for it?

187 JDW - He got divorced?  Oh, that's awesome!

188 If Charles replaced all his Amazon referrals and tip jars with impassioned advertisements for lace wigs, I'd be on his site nearly every waking minute of the day.

189 Here is proof from Charles Johnson himself that his blog is not doing well financially. http://i29.tinypic.com/if2yhw.jpg

Posted by: westlafadeaway at December 01, 2009 08:30 AM (ht2Zp)

Very well put; fusion served as a transition for me to move from rock to jazz as far as listening went (and like an idiot I missed out on a lot of good rock, but that's another story).  Once I moved on to the trad stuff and then free-form improv my interest in fusion became nil except as a curio.

192 He bans and deletes anyone with facts that contradict his desired conclusions. That means he'll fit right in with the hippies, the huckster climatologists, the #tlot crowd, the Obama worshippers, etc. looking at the world through his Little Green Footballs sunglasses.

193 RE:Obligatory: Charles Johnson Makes it Official

So Charles is coming out as a homo, right?

194 It's hilarious to see a liberal yell "hate speech." The irony kills me. The same people who made jokes about beating Sarah Palin (mother I'd like to punch shirts, etc) are calling HER hateful? Only in the Cloud Cukooland of the Looney Left.

195 ARRRGGGGH! ARRRGGGGGH! ARRRRRGGGHHH!

196 But why then does he still have ads flashing about Sarah Palin, John Kasich, CHRISTmas time buying & a Country First climate change ad from John McCain on his site?  and what happened to his Hotair hate comment section?

I don't really see any lefty ads blowing around on his site. 

CHARLES YOU ARE A HYPOCRITE and perhaps  you should go into counseling, move on and forgive that bad incident between you & the religious figure you had as a child.  Sometimes bad things happen to decent people and the only way is to forgive & move on.   

Charles - Jesus Loves you!

Hmmm, you know, quite honestly, I don't dismiss the possibility of possession.  However, there could be more mundane reasons for his complete turnabout; money, for instance; always follow the money.   Pssssst, wanna buy a kindle?

200 Shoot these rabid dogs. Death to this gang who hide their ferocious teeth, their eagle claws, from the people! Down with that vulture Ace, from whose mouth a bloody venom drips, putrefying the great ideals of Charlesism!... Down with these abject animals! Let's put an end once and for all to these miserable hybrids of foxes and pigs, these stinking corpses! Let's exterminate the mad dogs of capitalism, who want to tear to pieces the flower of our new Obama nation! Let's push the bestial hatred they bear our leaders back down their own throats!

201 Charles Johnson is a scientist in the same way that Andrew Sullivan is a scientist.

202 keep circling that drain ,chuckles!

203

I eagerly look forward to Kos/Huffpo/LGF conglomeration; the lies, battling egos and warring sycophants will be a pleasure to behold!

And, by the way, you can get swell Christmas gifts from Amazon!  And buy Charles' calendar---all the boring pics of bicycle spokes and sand you ever wanted!  Kilgore Trout approved!

204 I always got a "dirty" feeling when I heard said blogger interviewed by Prager re terrorism; as if the conversation was walking a very, very narrow tightrope.

210 Does this mean the Weblog Awards people will finally catch a clue and drop his nominations from the right blog category and accept the ones so many of us made on his behalf for the left blog category? 

211 He's going to "write a response?" When does he ever really write anything? Mostly, he slaps up a story, adds a short one paragraph about "those right wing creationists (anti-science, etc)" and lets his 5 normal commenters go wild, banning the few others who wanted to respond in a rational, adult manner. Pretty sad when Excitable Chucky is more bat sh*t insane then Kos and Sullivan.

Oh, and of course, he is reading every single comment at every blog who mentioned his bat sh*t crazy screed, making a list, ready to ban, blocking IP's.

212

more like Little Green Road Apples

 

213

also, the timing is interesting, considering that he has been descending into Kos Jr for at least a year. My hunch? Nobody gives a shit about a shift to the left because of creationism/evolution or perceived racism. But given the Climaquiddick scandal, it gives him an opportunity to officially break over a policy issue and lump all of his other grievances into one post.

He must think that the the Kos money will start rolling in, since he can't milk unemployed welfare whores like Irish Rose, Kilgore, and Cato the Elder, or social misfits like Sharmuta for any money, so why not see if he can translate the 15 seconds of attention MSNBC will give him onto a few more $$?

Oh, and to the few remaining "conservatives" over there: be prepared. He WILL eventually get you as well. And after al of the shifting you have done the last 12 months to keep him happy, the cut will be deep and painful, and you will be left wondering what happened to you, and if abandoning your principles was worth it.

214

Johnson seems to have gone over his own, personal, psychological cliff.  He also seems to be tremendously hateful of anyone with a socially or religiously conservative point of view, which is a considerable percentage of the country.

My guess is that he's having some personal crisis or there is some particular specific issue with is driving this.  That's often the case for otherwise inexplicable careening from one political position to the other.  Because, quite frankly, the right hasn't changed much at all.  It's just seems like Johnson's decided he doesn't like it any more.

One other thing, I do tire of the commenters over at LGF who attempt to claim the mantle of Reagan.  This is the same Reagan who stood on the podium at the Moral Majority conference and gave them a hearty endorsement.  He was far more in tune with them than would-be elitists like Johnson and many other conservative apostates who confuse conservative social values with knuckle-dragging populism.

215

In addition to the fact that CJ's list of reasons for parting with the right was juvenile, filled with errors and the same hate filled things he claims to be opposed, his list did make me ask one question.

What was it that ever made him think he was affilliated with the right in the first place? He is against traditionally held values of social conservatives, is anti-religious, loves abortion, seems not to understand the difference between a free enterprise system and Obama's brand of socialism, and has no understanding of America's role overseas. So if you look at the three major groups that make up the Right: social conservatives, fiscal conservatives, and national security hawks, where did Charles Johnson ever fit in with any of those groups?

I don't think he "parted ways with the right" because he was never really with the right to begin with.

216 I am not worthy! I am not worthy!

217 Yes, but he wrote that he also doesn't like when people pick on his girlfriend, Obama. A real man like Charles stands up and defends his girl, by banning big, mean, tough conservatives. See, he's a real he-man, and we're not. Stop picking on Barry!!! He's soooo sensitive!

218 ALL
TOTALLY
IRRELEVANT
to objective realities.

IGNORE JOHNSON
He has some serious problems and it has nothing to do with nazis, islamonazis, racists, haters, religious people, darwinists, physicists, or hadrons ... he looks in the mirror and sees things.

A few of them were there. The rest are to fit inner compulsions as bizarre as the real racists and haters must fit the world into.

It's over, over there.

Time and issues and moved on.

Let's do the same

219 Hey, Ace, if you're such a man, how come you don't have a Donate button after every post? Huh?

220 There's seems to be quite a problem with the whole religious right with Charles. Creationism is now a conspiracy theory and hate speech?

221 If you look further down on his web page you will see his weird association of a photo of the famous 'hear no evil,see no evil, speak no evil' monkeys with racism against Obama. He is really crazy. He probably looks under his bed for Robert Stacey McCain or Pamela Geller every night before going to sleep.

222 Three things I will not read anymore, unless somebody suckers me with a link I wasn't careful enough with:

Charles Johnson

Andrew Sullivan

blogs that are so in love with one or the other (or both) of those that they can't resist talking about them and driving traffic to them.

223 So how much did he get for selling his blog to Soros?

224

Little Green Footballs?

Never heard of it.

225 Just tried to check it out and it made my Internet Explorer get FUBAR.  Must be the thousand plus sycophantic comments over there. 

226 He's the officail poster boy for paranoid delusional hippies.

227 Went over and posted this at LGF #1327 on the linked:

Hey Charles,

I registered not long after the throbbing memo/Rather gate sfuff. This used to be a great place to get up to date info on the WOT and other things but you have really gone off the rails. Have fun eating crow when the global wormests end up in the round file of history along with this blog.


Wonder how long it stays up?

228 Wow that was fast, it's already down the memory hole.

229 Isn't their something very weird about a blogger going on, numerous times in the same thread, about how many times his post has been retweeted? Also listing who has linked to it? Johnson does this throughout that thread. Weird.

230 Reminds me of how true the "aspirational" part of leftist politics is so correct, re that recent article. Now that the trauma of 9/11 is for the most part over, CG can't stand being outside the circle of cool.

231 Having realized that everyone in the Center or on the Right is hip to his callow stupidity Charles wades into the shallowest pool imaginable, the Koslings. I wonder how loog it will takes those boneheads to recognize and reject his bizarre brand of paranoid stupidity?

232 BTW Ace I see you made the Top 10. Did you write Charles and thank him for the shout out?

233

Chuckie boy may know how to play a saxaphone, but he really loves Obama's skin flute!  I see his future job now - he's going to be a paid escort for Michael Moore.

234

Myself, I think he started going bad when he came out in support of Albanian Moslems in Kosovo, and went on a crusade against the Serbs.  At least, that's when his badness started becoming obvious. 

Yes, any conservative bloggers still left should leave now.  He kicked off Zombie, who used to be one of his so-called operatives; he'll kick off you. 

235 The American right wing has gone off the rails, into the bushes, and off the cliff.

I wonÂ’t be going over the cliff with them.

But he's willing to go off the rails and into the bushes?

236 So is it safe to say that Charles Johnson is the biggest moby in internet history?

237

Sadly, the Koslings are all stupid paranoids, too. 

Given the amount of infighting on the Left, however, it won't take long for KOS, her majesty queen Huffpo and Charles to start engaging in Mothra v. King Kong epic style battles, where they accuse each other of being racists, Nazis and Islamphobes.  Sharmuta and Irish Rose will wave pom-poms in support of Charles.  The Albanian Nazi will scream.  Kilgore Trout will spam Huffpo, or whatever leftist blog Charles is fighting at the moment , with horrible racial slurs, and then say this proves they're bigots. 

But, hey, why not buy your loved ones a splendid Amazon kindle for Christmas?

238

I like that, Dick Nixon!  Yes, Charles is the biggest Moby!

By the way----can't you just imagine the fireworks when Charles does battle with Sullivan?

239 244 So is it safe to say that Charles Johnson is the biggest moby in internet history?

It's safe to say he's the biggest dick.

240

He's going to be really adjusting some variables today and other such things of a scientific-sounding nature.

He'll be adjusting some dials too.  Taking down some notes.  Removing his glasses repeatedly and rubbing his chin in a thoughtful, concerned fashion.  After that, he'll consult some charts and graphs, mix some powders, and make the electricity machine start whizzing with little bits of lightning, you know, real science.

241

Give the guy a break, I know for a fact Charles Johnson has a solid scientific pedigree.  I once saw a picture of him, Sharmuta and Killgore Trout in matching white lab coats, looking at a slide rule with a magnifying glass.

242 13 If you can, do; if you can't, teach;...
If you can't teach run for office.

Among the more offensive spews of bile came this gem from Cato the Elder.....

If Obama is a narcissist, what is Palin?

Wait, I know. A slutty cheerleader for a losing team.....

Before I got the boot when Cato would do that I would narrate about him jerking off to pictures of Palin. Boorish and juvenile, I know...

245 How long until Chaz announces his support for Hamas and denounces Israel?  I'm betting that will come within the first quarter of next year.

246 Mr. Johnson started out as Edward R. Murrow and ended up as Margaret Sanger.  That's not exactly what I would consider a successful career trajectory, but if it works for him that's fine- I guess.

Even if it doesn't work for him I couldn't give less of a shit.

247

I once read LGF daily. It always seemed I had just missed the open door to be allowed in the lizard army.

After a while I was allowed to comment on the threads. It seemed, at the time, the attraction had worn off. Then strange things began happening. My last post was followed by a warning: I could be banned for the content, warned not by Chuck, by readers who wanted me to post more.

All I can say is: Two Buck Chuck is nothing but an opportunist, he has no convictions, other than his quest for numbers and hatred for Christians. 

Recently upgraded to Win7, lost my password, kind of like that rash finally clearing up.

Door

248 I guess he never got that sound piece of advice like most people: If more than three people in your life are assholes, you're the asshole.

249

I had to laugh (sadly) the other day reading Chucks blog. He said it didn't matter that the original climate data had been destroyed, because the cleaned up "adjusted" data was still available.

This reminded me of the Rathergate documents that Lucy Ramirez gave to Bill Burkett. Burkett said he didn't have the origninals because he burned them after making copies.

I seem to remember Charles wasn't willing to let that excuse fly.

 

250

Yeah, Cato's a real. . . hamburger, isn't he?  A honey.  (ugh!)

I suspect the denunciation of Israel will actually come much sooner, before Christmas, probably; maybe he'll time it for the start of Hannukah. 

He'll waste no time getting in with his new friends, and pleasing his handlers. 

251

Actually, I think it was Charles' fight with Pamela Geller that started his plunge off the deep end. 

The anti-Serb thing was a very bad sign, though. 

252 DIRK DIGGLER

If you see this, please send me an e-mail. Haven't seen you in AGES.

Would love to hear from you!

253

One more parting shot that has escaped Chuckie's banhammer......at least for now. And it's the most dead on of them all......

In response to your childish tirade.

1. Buchanan twice?
Man, you must really hate him.
I look at Buchanan much like I look at Limbaugh.
I like some of what they say, but I don't agree 100%.
Buchanan doesn't support Israel. I do.
Other than that, he's at least right of center on most other issues.

2. Pat again? Take a pill already. I think Ann Coulter makes some very accurate points about the slime that is the left in this country, but she doesn't speak for me either.

3. Puleeze. Just because I believe that late term abortion happens to be murder, you think I want to throw women back into the dark ages? I also happen to believe in God, and that makes me a religious fanatic?
4. Perhaps you are ignorant of the fact that the science community has been actively attempting to HIDE THE DECLINE in temperatures, and dumping the raw data in favor of the manipulated data, even Al Gore has been proven to photoshop hurricanes onto the cover of his latest book ... because the satellite photo didn't show enough bad weather to support his idiotic claims.
May I suggest you take the time to educate yourself on the topic, and the reality that the warming trend has apparently stopped...no thanks to humanity.

5. Most Conservatives couldn't care less what you do in your betdroom or with whom. Also, most Conservatives believe that committed couples should be allowed to share the same benefits of estate, health decisions, and family coverage that married couples enjoy. What thoughtful Conservatives object

to is the labelling of this partnership as "marriage". Call it Domestic Partnership licensing, and we have no problem. Just don't force your way of life down the throats of my children.

6. I have attended 2 TEA Partys. I believe that the American people are Taxed Enough Already and that the rampant deficit spending that government is currently doing will cripple our country financially.
If you disagree with that, then don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out, Charles.

7. Did you forget Pat Buchanan in your list this time? Hate speech? Are you now defining hate speech as anyone who doesn't say what you have bought into?

8. You mean like LGF? Or at least what LGF USED TO BE.

9. You mean like LGF? Or at least what LGF USED TO BE.

10. Puleeeze. Grow a sense of humor. You saw what the moderate left did to Bush. It was far worse than how the moderate right has treated Obama. You can't judge any movement by its fringes.

So, Charles, dive off the deep end, if you wish. Pretend that there isn't a Socialist takeover happening in the USA, and gulp down some
Olbarmann/Madow Kool-Aid with your George Soros cookies.

Count me out, Charles. Consider this formal resignation of my registration to this formerly good website.
If you can't stand for something, you'll fall for anything. Thank you for the proof.

255 And why, after years of writing about "improvements" to his site, is the thing so damn slow to load?

256

Um, because Chucky's not really the hotshot programmer he thinks he is? 

(Though I know it's racist to suggest this.)

257 BUCK FUSH!!! BUCK FUSH!!! BUCK FUSH!!! BUCK FUSH!!! BUCK FUSH!!! BUCK FUSH!!! BUCK FUSH!!!

Because underneath it all, it's still a big pile of shit......

259 I was following the comment thread in real time and one was so good I screengrabbed it immediately. Sure enough, it was gone the next time I refreshed. Here's the full text, with some typos fixed and others possibly added:

266 winemaker Mon, Nov 30, 2009 7:56:44pm

On that note, a partial list of why so many have parted ways with LGF:

1. Overuse of the "racist" label.
2. Overuse of the "fascist" label.
3. Overuse of the "bigot" label.
4. Overuse of the "white supremacist" label.
5. Overuse of the sexist adjetive "stupid" or "crazy" when referring to any right-of-center woman.
6. Overuse of the "denier" label.
7. Overuse of the "lunatic" label.
8. Overuse of the "hate speech" label.
9. Overuse of the "conspiracy" label.

Greshams Law -- Too many juvenile discussions (both right and left) get halted when one side accuses or labels the other as "nazi," instead of rational argument. Any of the 10 terms, above, are just modern substitutes for nazi name-calling.

Bad discourse forces good discourse out of public circulation. Not a good thing.

How would Ronald Reagan have fared at LGF? Not well, which is illustrative.

-winemaker

260 It was only a short step over to the 'other' side of the blogsphere for CJ. Its not like he wasn't already there with his missives and ban stick he waves with such authority for posts that disagree with his mission plan.

261 The LGF comment number of that post by "winemaker" was 226, not 266.

262 Ace,

Charles is not just a blogger and jazz musician.  He is also a cyclist and a photographer.  And co-founder of Pajamas Media.  And King of the Lizards.  And keeper of the eternal secret about what "Little Green Footballs" really means.  And Pwner of Dan Rather.

Give the man his props before you destroy him.

263

237 Isn't their something very weird about a blogger going on, numerous times in the same thread, about how many times his post has been retweeted? Also listing who has linked to it? Johnson does this throughout that thread. Weird.

They like me! They really like me!

Of course Chuckles would say it is a demonstration of his generosity, giving these people some exposure to others.

264 Charles Johnson is completely batshit insane, there's just no other explanation. Creepy is the right word for him, and for his followers. Weird and creepy.

265 Dorney Park Puppet Playhouse FunFest? I saw Spinal Tap there in '81. I think Charles joined them on 'Jazz Odyssey.'

266 He did this now because he knew he would win the Best Liberal Blog of 2009 award and he knew that he would not have any credibility of the award with Kos and Kids unless he came out of the closet.

267 this goofy twat thinks he's doing "science" by rubbing SportsCreme on Michael Mann's tender taint.

It's a good thing I wasn't drinking anything, or you'd owe me a new keyboard.

268 This will either be his David Brock/ Andrew Sullivan/ Arianna moment or will be his Norah Desmond moment.

His post today is all about the hits, I counted his instalances since his first he had 234 about one every 12 days since Apr 2002.

He has none since Aug.

Today he will have the hits he had of old, will he get the instalance?  Will he get the MSNBC or Huffpo gig?  We will find out.

"I'm ready for my closeup Mr. Matthews."

269 Another weird thing about the place is that you can't have friends over there. If someone is banned, you can't say anything in their defense. You can't bring up their name again unless it is in a derogatory context. The people over there sold their souls to the devil.

270 I just got smacked by the banstick for killing an account i made after Rathergate, it hurts so good

271

Charles,

Let's grant that there are ugly sides to all political persuasions. (If you can't see the stark raving hatred on the Left, the discussion is over.)  But the real question: what are your values? Do you believe in bigger government? Do you believe in Free Enterprise? Do you believe that scientist's should offer their data and methodology for examination without playing games and should invite real dissent? Do you believe that scientists should not be promoting political agendas through their work? Do you believe that everyone who posits an opinion should be open to being challenged on the facts supporting that opinion? Do you really believe people like Keith Olbermann, Markos Moulitas, and Andrew Sullivan are in their right minds? Anyway, sorry to see you go so far overboard. One last question: Do you ever question your own sanity?

272 Being the kid of a bipolar mother, I'm struck by the similarities: the black and white mentality, e.g. the all-good thing becomes an all-bad thing when even a single utterance is displeasing, negating all that was ever said before. I'd feel sorry for him with his suggestive descent into mental illness, but I don't even give my own eats-her-young mother that courtesy.

273

I was banned from LGF when Chuckles was first exhibiting signs of paranoia, seeing full figured Jewish woman as closet Nazis.

 

 

Anyway

Houston Snow Miracle Friday?

274 It's a common enough disorder among men for their brains to dry out and get a little less flexible when they get some ageon them; the unlucky fellows become bewitched or at least prey to all sorts of flim-flammery. Conan Doyle had his fairies, Rather his unassailable witness... I guess geezer Christmas came early for Charles.

275

Let me try that link again...

 

 

Houston Snow Miracle?

 

 

(Tiny URLs...)

276 Search the LGF comment thread for comments by Slim_Junior. This guy asks Charles if there is anything he doesn't like about Obama's domestic agenda, in order to see how much he was actually "with" the right before he "parted ways" with them. Charles declines to answer. It's amazing those comments weren't deleted, but this one:

http://littlegreenfootballs.com/showc/190/7910160

was down-dinged 10 times.

277

I don't get his continued mad-on versus HotAir...

HotAir gets 10x the traffic as he does, is why. 

278

190 Now's a good time to explain what Little Green Footballs really are: boogers.

Are you positive they aren't dingleberries? 

279 Allahpundit scolded his commenters yesterday for going off topic to CJ.  No profanity, they were just talking negatively about Jazz Boy.

Allah's gotta lighten up.

280 This is one of your funnier posts Ace, bravo.   What I think is interesting is that as people paint themselves in a corner ideologically they just turn towards the wall and start scratching at it for dear life. The circle becomes smaller and smaller as reality comes crashing in, I have seen liberals have mini break downs as facts slap them in the face. The liberals I was debating on Obama performance the likelyhood of his agenda getting through congress were ful of piss and vinegar right after the election, I haven't had a conversation with any of them in the last 2 months.

281

So, I broke my roughly year-long absence and went to LGF to check out this particular post and thread. Youch.

 

Sad to see a once-awesome blog so badly shattered.

 

RIP

 

mac :]

 

282 "this goofy twat thinks he's doing "science" by rubbing SportsCreme on Michael Mann's tender taint." Vintage Ace. Vintage.

283 For the life of me I can't remember my login I so badly want to be banned.Damn you CJ you suck.

284 Now's a good time to explain what Little Green Footballs really are: boogers. I always assumed they were little balls of lizard crap. Do lizards crap like hamsters?

285 > 281: Being the kid of a bipolar mother, I'm struck by the similarities: the black and white mentality, e.g. the all-good thing becomes an all-bad thing when even a single utterance is displeasing, negating all that was ever said before. That sounds like Borderline Personality Disorder. It's called "splitting."

286 Douchy ponytails of the world, unite!

287 I can see how AP doesn't want threads hijacked. However, he needs to provide a thread where people can discuss CJ. The fact that the green turd regularly attacks commenters on HA by name over at lgf, it certainly merits thread(s).  Yes, HA wants to take the high road. However, it is not always HA that is being smeared but the people who post there.

288

I read LGF for about five years, and was registered for the last couple or so.  He became too hateful and irrational for me two or three months ago, so I haven't posted there since, and have only been back once to read through the threads since then.  He has become rather intolerant of any reasonable opinion contrary to his own, to the point of being exceptionally rude and disrespectful.

Apparently, quite a few others agree; in looking at the "coming out" post (although it became obvious to everyone long ago), I only recognize MandyManners, Sharmuta, and a couple of other posters.  Everyone else is new to me.

289 You're just a bunch selfish of global warmers

290

282 Ed Mahmoud,

how the hell are you fella...where is the new "village of the banned" since GCP went under?

 

291

I don't care why Charles Johnson parted ways with the right. The guy's a ridiculously inconsistent fuckhead (and that's being charitable) who shrills histrionically against virtually any sort of agenda that allows any sort of polite engagement with theists who don't believe in evolution hard enough.

I don't really care when or why inconsistent fuckheads (who fight imaginary cryptonazis that they used to praise and quote and link to on a DAILY BASIS)suddenly reverse course, dramatically part with the right, ban their few remaining readers for stuff like 'down dinging' and 'disagreeing', and then expect a pat on the head for it from supposedly decent/courageous people.

Good riddance to 'em. I'm not gonna cry about it. I didn't cry when the likes of  Brock, Huffington, or Sullivan did the exact same shit. I also didn't cry when Chris Buckley and Frum did the toned down version of "the split".

Why dont'cha call up 'ol Charles Darwin on your imaginary deadphone see if HE cares CJ? Are you afraid he'll 'down ding' ya ? Or maybe you've decide he's just too crypto nazi to associate with.

Fuckin' Fruit Cake.

292

The turd is still going on and on about his post and how much traffic it has generated. Well, when it falls back to nothing tomrorow, he'll have to mount another attack and smear campaign on conservatives.

293

CJ has a nice set of double standards over at LGF.  He has several comments in there about how he has "flounced" hateful comments.  Yet, CJ is not concerned when his friend Cato the Elder calls Sarah Palin a "slutty cheerleader" (comment #1111) and when called out for doing so claims that calling women such names is not misogynic "ecause calling women names - more especially, women who willingly enter the arena of public life - is not misogynistic."  (Comment #1150). 

Amazing.

294

Havent been there, other than for poops and giggles to see what hes obsessing about, for months.

My main problem with the blog isnt the politics, its that the shit just aint funny.

Unlike the goings-on at this here-un.

295 Indeed, Mr. Happy. Charles is boring as dry oatmeal. But, for me, his permanent hate-on for Christians, creationists and TEA party people is a far graver sin. I don't hate Charles, but he certainly seems to hate people who share my beliefs.

296

Speaking of double standards, there's always the Kilgore affair, where he basically pardoned his loyal minion Trout for spreading the very rascism he claims to condemn.

And, of course, "Charlies's Harpies", medaura, the Albanian Nazi, Irish Rose, Sharmuta, Ice Weasel, etc., whom he used to help drive away conservative posters. 

297

The pallid sunken eyes of Charles Johnson looked into the mirror. Looking back was something called an idiotarian, a mysterious being that only the keen mind of Charles was intellectually developed enought to consistently recognize. Sometimes they were on the right. Sometimes they were on the left and had pink tanks. You never knew. But Charles did. 

The mirror's shocking disloyalty did not surprise Charles. He KNEW that the mirror was in fact a neo-nazi creationist who wanted to create a totalitarian theocracy and melt all the glaciers.

Charles wanted to fisk the mirror but it had no text to creatively interpret and respond to line by line.

"You leave me no choice my shiny betrayer" he growled. "You've beeen rash. You've down-dinged a bit more than you can chew this time. There'll be consequences."

Charles showed no emotional turmoil whatsoever as he delinked the mirror. Then he clamly flounced it and posted some pictures of a weathered wooden  porch railing with the paint peeling off, and his bike. He linked to an article about the Amazon Kindle, added some security code to his blog to keep out the stalkers, removed his clothes, and slowly slid his stain-resistant Soft'n'fap(TM) microfiber fur glove on his right hand. It' was a bit sore but it still had the strength in it for one more task.

It was time for bed.

The end. 

298

Here's the best LGF youtube I've seen:

The End of Little Green Footballs

Short, accurate and funny as hell.

299 Yea after a while I stopped going to his site. If I wanted the to be crapped on I could just go over to DU.

300 Charles is not just a blogger and jazz musician.  He is also a cyclist and a photographer.

Oh, now this is just too much. Chuckles is a photographer because he can point a camera in the general direction of something? If he's a photographer, then I'm a NASCAR driver because I can operate a motor vehicle

301 Charles Who???

302

 He has several comments in there about how he has "flounced" hateful comments.

Hateful comments are defined as anyone who politely disagrees with him.

303 color me stunned.

/

304

Is anyone really surprised by the fact that a guy who cancels the account of anyone who disagrees with him on his blog but still maintains a Plus/Minus rating system for his posts doesn't have any problems with the way East Anglia's CRU processed their temperature data?

Chuck, it's called hiding the decline.

305 I miss the old LGF.

306

CJ's posts are about as interesting as toenail clippings.  The commenters over there are the ones who provide the entertainment as they are constantly jockeying to see who can be the biggest toady and kiss-ass. (The most mundane CJ observation gets 10 or 20 updings.)  It's also mildly amusing to watch the serfs turn on each other. 

But it gets old soon.  When the whole Powerline/PJM delinking took place a few months ago, I read LGF with great interest for a few days (I was once a  regular who got bored with the creationist and Geller posts) and then I realized the place was a total waste of time. I have no intention of ever going back, even for a look-see.

Chuck needs the hits and the attention.  That's all this is  about.  But if he really wants to attract the Kos/HuffPo crowd, he'll need to go back in his archives and do some data "massaging."  Pali car swarm and St. Pancake threads are the inconvienent truths of LGF.  I think CJ is hoping the Kossacks  will overlook them or are too witless to remember them.

307 281 Being the kid of a bipolar mother, I'm struck by the similarities: the black and white mentality, e.g. the all-good thing becomes an all-bad thing when even a single utterance is displeasing, negating all that was ever said before. I'd feel sorry for him with his suggestive descent into mental illness, but I don't even give my own eats-her-young mother that courtesy.

Are you one of my brothers?

308 Charles Johnson.  What a cockweasel.

<blockquote>Will the be last post about this nut?</blockquote>

Now that he's officially out of the closet as a lefty, his future obscurity is assured.

309 He did this on world aids day. Charles Johnson to come out of the closet and admit he is suffering from has been jazz musician syndrome.

It was mentioned before in this thread, but one of the biggest problems with LGF (even before his onset of paranoia) is that Charles Johnson has never been able to bring the funny. 

Truly, the man has yet to write his first intentionally humorous post.

311 re:301

he is gloating about 6k hits? Not even uniques? our lowly blog gets 2-2.5k a day and we're nowhere near as high-profile as lgf (although we do have NSFW stuff)

my god, how low does his daily hits per day go? Especially since he runs a fairly active community, meaning people refresh the page often to make and read comments, padding his hits.

lastly, big hit days are a mixed bag at best. They can run you bandwidth for the month out in one day, as many a recipient of an instalanche or drudge mention has found. I tried to pay my electric bill with pagehits (we have a fairly active forum) and they wouldn't take them.

When we broke the Bobby Calvan story we got 25k hits 3 days in a row, and I was certainly glad we were hosted on wordpress and not on our docweasel.com server!

"Charles Johnson: Splitting atoms... with his blog."

Big whoop; atoms are tiny.

313 I take back the remark about the atoms-- splitting them with a blunt instrument must be a tough job.

after getting around to bj's site all i can say is wow. nice list you scumbag fuck wit. lots of facts and links to prove your random fucking nonsense there buddy. epic fail...i'm taking about the list not his fat, pony tailed, no talent having divorced broke ass.

oh and shamwow, little brook trout and mandy swallows...as usual go fuck yo self!

316 Quite a day. Charles Johnson AND Andrew Sullivan both finally outed themselves as leftists.

This was news to no one, of course. But still, at least it's official now. They can no longer go around calling themselves "real" conservatives who are trying to save the movement from the "dangerous radicals." They basically believe conservativism itself is radical and dangerous.

Think David Frum will be next?

317

Naaah, I think David Brooks will be next!  Then Frum.

It was mentioned before in this thread, but one of the biggest problems with LGF (even before his onset of paranoia) is that Charles Johnson has never been able to bring the funny. 

I dunno. The bit where he was selling Halloween costumes was pretty funny.

What, you don't think that was deliberate? Impossible. You seem to be implying that he's some sort of patheic windbag. It was definitely deliberate.

 

319 Half the commenters on LGF that praise Charles are actually pseudonyms for Charles. LGF really only has about 5 people posting on it. Ace of Spades is a million times better than LGF!

320 So I was right?  CJ is a self-hating homosexual banjo player who will eventually throw Israel under the bus?

323 CJ homosexual Israel.  ?test?

324 re:330 that's kind of my point, he has many threads with many hundreds of comments a day, yet he only gets 2k hits on a normal day? How does that add up?

Others have claimed to have seen him accidently post, very obviously as Charles, the owner of the site, forgetting to log off one of his alters (sockpuppets), then going back and hastily changing it when he realized his error. He also posts in the comments of other blogs as these "people", so he can keep up the fiction that he "never" posts in any comments threads. Someone as obsessively anal about any mention of himself seems unlikely to let a chance go by.

I've regged 3 different accounts over there with proxies, but I only use one regularly, I've had it since April of this year, so he hasn't identified it yet. I try to just be as close to the edge as possible, making ironic and questionably sarcastic comments that sometimes get me downdinged but so far not banned. Eh, if he does, I'll use one of the others. Or maybe sell them for millions!

325 I really used to like LGF, a few years ago. It was one of my favorite blogs. But something big seemed to happen when Charles Johnson split with Pajamas Media - something personal, like an ugly divorce where one party gets totally idiotic all of a sudden and you can't show up in your blue windbreaker because Blue! was His! Favorite Color! Or something. It is amusing though that a guy who railed (correctly, IMHO) at the irrationality of the Birthers is so incapable of seeing the problems with the Global Warming data & methods. CJ just up and shot hisself in the foot.

326 The scientific method works when it's not played with.  Tip the scales with your finger and you end up with globbular warmixst.

327 There are a lot of good people posting at http://www.theblogmocracy.com/

Not to be pimping another blog but if there is anyone from LGF that you have missed, you may them there.

Is it mean to hope that Rush eviscerates this piss ant?

329

Uh, Sarah Palin spread her homophobic hatred during the '08 campaign by talking about she and a lesbian friend of hers had opposing views on gay marriage but still loved each other.  So where's the hatred?  Apparently, in Chuckles's mind.

Posted by: Bru at December 01, 2009 08:13 AM (NZ58E)

Palin also vetoed a bill that would have denied benefits to the partners of gay AK state employees. 

Apparently idiots like Chuckles think all Evil Xtianists secretly want to put Teh Gheys into showers with Zyklon B cannisters.  Whatever one thinks of Palin, she's not a raging homophobe, unless you think "marriage=1 man & 1 woman" is homophobic.  In which case ObaMao is a homophobe too.

330 re:rayra He would cream himself if Rush noticed his pip-squeak life: in case you haven't noticed, his entire raison for posting this crap is to get attention, he revels in it. There is no convincing him, shaming him or crushing him with debating points, he's beyond that. A combination of anger at PJMedia and resentment he'd been labeled an anti-Islamic hate site have driven him to war with all right wing sites and he has to be diametrically opposed to anything they are for: tea parties, global warming scandal, etc. A litmus test: if any right blog supports a meme of the day, he's against it, I don't care what the subject.

331 I'm starting to love this site.

332 Johnson confirms his complete lack of scientific basis for drawing conclusions with his mention that "The Great Global Warming Swindle" formed his earlier "Global Warming" stance.  And a few errors discovered in that film, reading a few 'sciency' articles and books later, and Al Gore becomes a hero.

The nutballs promoting "Global Warming" are making a dire mistake, because as the sham unravels (see historic temperatures, these latest leaked e-mails, etc) the public at large will decide environmentalists are just a bunch of alarmist liars and will ignore sound environmental concerns across the board.

If the "Global Warming" zealots want to fight for the environment, publish photos of polluted rivers, toxic waste dumps, etc, for which there is no rebuttal.

333

I will find the strawberries. Oh yes, the strawberries will be mine once again.

 

334 "That last part is breathtakingly anti-scientific, but this goofy twat thinks he's doing "science" by rubbing SportsCreme on Michael Mann's tender taint."

Almost spit my coffee on my monitor.

Priceless.

Charles has been irrelevant for a looooooooooong time now. For kicks, I checked out his blog a couple days ago. Same old shitty photography (oooooooooh a picture of a tanker - that's worth about 300 comments), same old global warming posts, same old painfully slow load times, same old Amazon pimping posts.

Here's Charles' idea of blogging:

"Obama just gave a speech tonight. Discuss"
(1200 comments are then dominated by a handful of faithful muppets)

"Obama to increase troops. Discuss"
(1200 comments are then dominated by a handful of faithful muppets)

"Obama is my homeboy. Discuss.
(1200 comments are then dominated by a handful of faithful muppets)

"Buy some shit from my Amazon link. Discuss"
(1200 comments are then dominated by a handful of faithful muppets)

What a joke.

335 How is Charles going to to top this?

There have been some other advances GHD Hairs since the early invention by Issac Shero and the addition of having straighteners that allow the user to straighten wet hair is one good example. Overall though the ceramic ones are the most common and remain the brain child of the early day inventors Replica watches and will be around for many more years to come.

The GHD Hair Straightener or some may call them hair tongs either way they have become the modern day must have hair accessory for women and now many men. The humble GHD Hairs Straightener some say can date right back to 1872 to a Parisian gentleman called Marcel Grateau. His early invention which was basically heat rods which were used with chemical lotions which were then added to the hair to straighten it. http://www.ghd-hairs-online.com/ghd-rare-styler-p-2.html£¡£¡£¡£¡Like many early day inventions there were many draw backs and many people would find their scalp and hair became damaged and in many cases burnt. The first registered hair iron patent was in 1906 by a chap called Simon Monroe, his invention was basic and in a different format. The hair tool he created consisted of metal teeth which the user would use to comb through the hair; these worked but would not be considered the same product as the GHD Straightener that are used today. £¡£¡£¡£¡The first real hair straightner design that could be considered would have to be in 1909 by Issac Shero, he patented and invented the first heated hair care tools. The first designs were basically hot metal plates that were used to slide through the hair, the products were a great improvement on the early day inventions and provided the user with a much reduced risk on damaging the hair. He then advanced the designs at a later date and introduced more advanced ones which included the ceramic straightener and electrical straighteners. Not only this, but he was also the first person to provide the user with the ability to adjust the heat settings and the sizes of the straightener. £¡£¡£¡£¡There are some Chinese herbs also which helps you to reduce the hair fall like psoralea seeds, mulberries and oyster. These herbs are also very effective and reduce the hair fall. Henna is also very effective herb for hairs. It is one of the oldest herb which helps to reduce the hair fall and it act as the conditioner to the hairs. Rosemary is also very good for hairs. Boil the rosemary with nettle, peach leafs, burdock and sage. And wash your hairs with this solution on regular basis, this will help you to reduce the hair fall and gives you healthy and strong hairs.£¡£¡£¡£¡Most of his design techniques are still used to this very day in the modern day hair salon or home and the reliance on his invention has become second nature to most people. The most common straightener today would be the ceramic ones with the heating elements. The technology remains the same, however has become more sophisticated. The ceramic ones became the chosen type for many for a number of reasons which include the fact that they are less damaging to the hair to use and the ceramic heating elements heat up quickly. http://www.nicewatchessell.com £¡£¡£¡£¡It was proven by the early models that using straighteners can be damaging for the hair if not used correctly or too much, this still applies today and the chances of getting split ends, or brittle and broken hair is increased. Unlike in the early days though there has been advancement in many of the hair tools to prevent this from happening. Products such heat protection sprays and creams will reduce the amount of damage caused by excessive use.
