— Ace He bitches that Allah didn't link him initially, but instead to Yid With Lid.
I have to say this again: Charles Johnson had a bad reputation, even when he was nominally on the right, for simply stealing other bloggers' finds. I really should contact one of the people ripped off by him to get him to write a post on this.
So now Charles Johnson is whining that someone else pushed his find, and Allah, not really giving a crap who found it, linked Yid With Lid.
Because, you see, that's the real story here -- Charles Johnson's passport to get treated like a somebody by CNN again.
Am I imagining things, or did LGF break a story about Reuters cropping photographs yesterday? DidnÂ’t Killgore Trout find the first photo and tip me off? WasnÂ’t LGF the first to publish this? And havenÂ’t we been credited for breaking the story by Haaretz, the Jerusalem Post, the Israeli government, the Weekly Standard, and Commentary Magazine, to name just a few?Did I just imagine all that? No? It really happened?
So what kind of vindictive, unprofessional, unethical creep would write about this story and give all the credit to other people, knowing full well that the story originated at LGF?
This dishonest dirtbag goes by the name “Allahpundit,” and he writes for Hot Air.
UPDATE at 6/8/10 10:14:08 am:
Allahpundit has added a whiny update, complaining about being caught in unethical behavior, and pretending it was a mistake. Just like Reuters made a mistake cropping the photos.
IÂ’ll just point out that numerous sources had already credited LGF for the story when Allahpundit decided to ignore us. So the options are: 1) heÂ’s incompetent, or unwilling to spend time researching sources, or 2) heÂ’s a dishonest dirtbag who thought I wouldnÂ’t bust him publicly for it. Take your pick.
Am I imagining things or did this same Kilgore Trout, a moderator at LGF, go over to Hot Air late at night and vandalize the site by posting the word "Nigger" repeatedly to... um... prove that Hot Air was racist? And did Charles Johnson then not praise him for countenance and defend this stunt? And keep him on as a privileged moderator? (Zimriel writes I overstated initially.)
Did Charles Johnson himself not out the names of people who'd donated money to him in the past, thereby making everyone on the right skittish about donating to other bloggers, wondering who will be the next to turn? *
Was it not Charles Johnson who endlessly accepted, without correcting the falsheood, the media's claim that he had uncovered the RatherGate forgeries?
"BuckHead" just emailed me about stealing credit. He says, "Lot of that goin' 'round, Hoss."
You little, whiny, crazy-ass meglomaniacal-without-a-blessed-reason-to-justify-it bitch.
Allah's corrected to give LGF credit. I am going the other way: I am rewriting that post to deny LGF credit.
* Whoops! Sorry! The way I wrote that suggests that's the only thing wrong with outing private donors who wish to remain anonymous -- the effect on my bank account.
I'm sorry I wrote it that way -- of course it's offensive and unprecedentedly nasty in the first place.
I meant to write something like it was a two-fer, like not only did id it do x but then it further sabotaged the right by having effect y.
However, I'm a self-centered guy, so yeah, the effect on me I guess was a little too foremost in my mind.
Did Charles Johnson Refuse to Credit The Real Story Breaker? Elder of Ziyon had it first.
CJ credits "Kilgore Trout" with the "find." Okay, where did he find it?
Here's One Example... Dan Riehl became annoyed when LGF became, somehow, the one who broke the old Hezballah ambulance story. Or non-story.
As the originator of the Red Cross Ambulance story, I would urge the elements of the blogosphere still running with the story to at least slow down, if not back up. They are increasingly looking like the very drive by media against which we so often rant, running the risk of being exploited by propagandists on another side of an issue. And no matter how much many of us may support that side, propagandists on both sides do exist. For the record, I'm guilty, too.The fact is ZombieTime's post does not do what it claims, proving the ambulance attack demonstrably false. And if they had operated the way bloggers should, by co-operating and communicating, instead of taking another's story and making it their own, perhaps they would have held back from making some of the unprovable claims they do. As I said, I am no innocent here. Most likely, being frustrated at how some have co-opted much of the work I did is certainly part of why I backed off and started to take a clearer view.
Sorry, but there is no excuse for lgf and Powerline to even be claiming a role in this story, or being cited by the Jerusalem Post as individuals actually in the know. And ZT's analysis really doesn't hold up. I doubt anyone related to those sites, excluding ZT, has done a fraction of the research which has been done. Much like a large media network relying on stringers, they are ultimately inflating their stature without having done the real work, or verifying the facts. And, frankly, it is time to end the show, which I intend to do right now.
Now, I sort of understand that the media doesn't care which blogger actually broke a story. They just call us all "bloggers" and don't really parse us out. I understand that; we're nobodies, after all.
And I understand why it should be the case that once Charles Johnson is on the media's rolodex they would just keep calling him over and over again for this story and that story; he'd become the only (or one of the only three) bloggers who exist at all, in the media's simplified telling.
Fine.
But actual credit does matter to the bloggers involved -- so why didn't/doesn't Charles Johnson ever correct the record and give the bloggers who broke a particular story the credit the media isn't interested (understandably) in giving them?
Why is he... oh, let us use the word "comfortable" about allowing the media to claim he broke this and broke that when he knows, better than almost anyone (except for the person who actually broke the story) that he didn't?
Not be all Hero of Will Folks-Level Integrity, but when Slublog dumped his big story into my lap -- the famous "Passion of the Toys" (well: blog-famous, anyways) -- I told him that I would LOVE to "break" that story, but since it was already all done and buttoned up, why the heck shouldn't he publish it himself and get the traffic and clear credit for it?
I don't believe Charles Johnson would have offered him the same advice.
Hey, Charles? You've been wrongly credited, and you've wrongly accepted credit, for most of the stories that made your still-no-one-knows-you "name."
How about you take that into account and let some of this slide, buddy?
Oh, and credit Elder of Ziyon, since that site seems to have had the Reuters Combat Knife Crop story first. Since you're so big on proper credit for scoops.

I did for a time, when I was interested in the creationism stuff, but I stopped checking when he flamed AoS and when I realized that the majority of his posts were administration talking points. I can track what's happening with the public schools through primary sources, I don't need to wade through pages of anti-Beck, anti-conservative, pro-Obama crap to find the occasional story of interest to me.

Instantly, several people told me I was not allowed to read Ace of Spades and would be banned. They were right.
LGF stole the rathergate story too. They are so defensive and project so hard on this because they are insecure. They know they have to attack and demand credit because their actual work doesn't warrant much respect on its own.

THEY ARE SUBHUMAN!" Will never gain enough respect and they will shift to "THOSE REPUBLICANS SUCK!!!!" eventually.
What's so amusing is that this style does gain a few sycophants. There is a pack of people who will defend LGF and make any disgusting attack they can. In this thread already you see it. They have no reasoning... just 'you are poop!". Anyone who needs a little more thoughtfulness has already gotten tired of LGF.

CJ's reaction to the Killgore fracas wasn't praise. It was a weak, "I didn't tell him to do it and I don't agree with it BUT" piece of plausible-deniability. And of course Killgore remained a privileged poster at LGF while the people who complained got Teh Stick. CJ behaved exactly how he used to mock CAIR for behaving.
So on the one hand, Ace is in the factual wrong; on the other hand, what CJ really did do was even more dishonest and hypocritical.

Poor Charles. Once the immediate threast of terrorism was past, he stopped being scared and reverted to his leftist roots, only to discover a universal truth: no one likes a turncoat. So, he's banned all the conservatives, and all he has are liberals who barely trust him. Plus, he still has a tiny enough shred of humanity to support Israel, which offends his new leftist base. My over/under on Charles rejecting Israel is 6 months. Shoot, he threw his idol Penn Jillette under the bus for being friends with Glenn Beck--since most of Israel's supporters are those evil conservative Christians who may believe in intelligent design, it'll be easy for him to justify it to himself when the time comes.
His own "karma" system testifies against him. When I was sent to the cornfield for no reason, my karma was ridiculously high, which means that people there thought my posts reflected the general ideas of the blog, back when it was nominally conservative. So, the fact that I was banned shows that I didn't change, Charles did.

Go over to Diary of Daedalus and look at the date/time stamps on the various screen shots. I'm inclined to believe that the date/time stamps are indeed accurate for the servers.
Trout's post has a DTG of "Jun 6, 2010 at 7:05:48am" Pacific Daylight time.
Suzanne's post is at 3:37AM Sunday June 06, 2010, and Suzanne is believed to be in the Netherlands. EofZ suggests Suzanne was 5 minutes later than Trout. Not sure where EofZ's server is, but ...
No, check out this color timezone map.
The timezone that is at 3:00Am when LA is at 7:00AM is the one containing New Zealand.
1. If Suzanne's post was posted 32 minutes AFTER Trout's, then the EofZ server is likely in New Zealand.
2. If Suzanne's post was posted BEFORE Trout's, then the EofZ server is likely in the next timezone to the east: Kamchatka? One of a number of small pacific islands?
I doubt #2. Is the Eof Z server in New Zealand? My guess is no.
Suppose, instead that the EofZ server is in EUROPE. Count the timezones from the Netherlands to LA (~9 zones); 3:37AM Sunday June 06, 2010 is 6:00PM SATURDAY JUNE 5.
If the EofZ server is in Israel, add another hour (5:00PM).
If the EofZ server is in the US or Canada, then Suzanne is at least 3 hours ahead of Trout.
Elder of Zion may not be widely read, but it is not unknown, not to someone with major powers of blog-fu.
Maybe Trout found these photo independently, but I have this ugly suspicion that Trout read Suzanne, then .....
Trout & Larches have some proof to provide.

"his point is absolutely valid. They are accepting a disgusting amount of racism and extremism at Hot Air."
This about Kilgore admitting he left the N Word on Hot Air. And after years of Charles noting that site owners are not responsible for racism others leave on their sites. And after the obvious implication that most, if not all, of the racism on Hot Air was left my LGF readers and other mobies.
Not even noting that Hot Air deleted every instance I saw, and Charles was lying to say they accepted that material, or that Charles accepted more of it... Charles is actually calling it "Absolutely Valid" to use the N-Word. He's the one accepting disgusting racism and extremism.
I can't think of much more extreme in blog commenting than using starting a set of sockpuppets and leaving racial slurs to pretend the people you disagree with (but always win arguments against you) are actually racists. That's so dishonorable. It is so invalid (the premise being true that the hate speech was left, the conclusion that Hot Air tolerates racism is not true, thus invalid reasoning). It's deliberately invalid.
Charles uses an extremely strong laudatory comment. "Absolutely Valid" is not a qualified praise. It's very strong praise that using hate speech is good argumentation.
It's dirty and unfair, and Charles is so long on the record that this tactic is unfair against him and his actually racist supporters, specifically because he knows his folks employ it against his enemies.
I think Ace is exactly right that Charles praised Kilgore Trout, and is thus a really fucked up individual.

dana 60, Isn't the story the STORY not freak in his basement who stumbled across the story.
That's what Ace said a few days ago when he first commented on the Reuters story. Ace hat-tipped CJ, various commenters complained, and he (and Dang Straights, IIRC; maybe others) retorted that It Wasn't About CJ.
CJ, being CJ, didn't acknowledge Ace's action on his behalf against his own commenters; CJ has assumed that because Ace didn't run out there screaming, deleting, and whacking IP addresses with Tha Hamma that Ace was in on the big anti-LGF conspiracy.
What we're seeing here is Ace's belated chuck-you-farley.
As for whose side I'm on... keep in mind that the dispute isn't really between Ace and LGF - it's between Allahpundit and LGF. Ace has done (with nitpicking exceptions, cf. my #37) the right thing. And in a fight between Allahpundit and LGF these days I pretty much wish the best of luck for both sides.

Without a doubt, a lot of bloggers recognize that LGF has badly damaged blogging as a whole. His tactics of racist sockpuppeting being 'Absolutely Valid' and his tactic of embarrassing donors using their confidential donor information were incredibly selfish things to do. They hurt the whole community, which Charles could care less about.
"Instantly, several

It was some Free Republic thread that exposed that the Rathergate memo was identical to MS Word output. Charles ran with that story. Most of his blog is outrage and occasionally expanding on other people's work. I don't see the problem with that... that's normal blogging. He really helped expand on Rathergate, of course. His problem is that he demands credit for being the original news breaker when he's simply one in a chain.

Fair enough. I see it a lot differently. One thing is for sure, it was not valid reasoning. They left the comments in the middle of night. It was a setup and they already went on and on for years that this precise argument is invalid. Absolutely Valid strikes me simply as a lie, but also, as high praise for an argument.
You're dead right that he was trying to publicly show plausible deniability. "I can't say this is good". Not "this was bad". Of course, when people used this argument against him, albeit not even nearly as nasty, Charles could give a more clear opinion.
In my book, when someone does something obviously way over the line and evil, and the response is "I can't say it's good, but it's absolutely valid", I read that as an attempt to make as much praise without taking responsibility.

Ordinarily, I think this just doesn't matter all that much. As long as you link to where you got the information, it's not a big deal at all. There are thousands of active bloggers, and it's not even possible to concretely follow everything. Hot Air has so much material on it that they probably just try to get people some good links and that's that. No doubt Hot Air has been far, far, far nicer to LGF than LGF deserves. Why AP and pals are so passive in response is a complete mystery to me. LGF vandalized and smeared Hot Air in the worst way they could imagine. 4 Chan shows more restraint. once you cross that line, I think it's fair to deny any contact. It's like if Stormfront had the first hit on a story about the oil spill. No one would notice or care, and there's no benefit in crediting them or sending readers there. They are psychos. Send people to better links.

Which may or may not be the case with the guy he debating*, but he sure does type a lot of words to just keep calling the guy an anti-Semite. Is that all he's got?
*And by "debate" I mean two libtards sissy-slapping each other.

I am now campaigning for Harry "this war is lost" Reid.
I hate the GOP. The GOP disgusts me, and everyone in the GOP is guilty by association. Whatever association is can dig up. AND I will DIG.
The left? I have no problem with the left.

LOL
I may not agree with AP on many things, but he has a moral compass and he's constantly bringing tons of material forward. A lot of it is stuff I don't really need to read, but he at least has a sense of honorable behavior.
I think the idea originally was for there to be a source with honorable people bringing in ideas from slightly left of center to fairly right of center. A lot of disagreement to make Hot Air really valuable and interesting.
I don't think it worked exactly according to plan, but I'll take AP's manner over the style of others who might disagree with many conservatives. I do like to know the arguments against my views even when I don't find them persuasive. As a big Palin fan, this is a tough pill to swallow with AP, but AP is impressive in many ways.

With geometric logic, I shall prove that Killgore Trout's 7:05am post really is 5 minutes before Suzann's 3:37AM post, due to server location relative to the International Date Line..
Just watch my blog for an upcoming geometrical proof.
And buy a cookbook.
And stop calling Killgore "Bucktoothed Guppy".

Anyone that would out people the way he did is a jerk. How could anyone ever take him seriously after doing such a thing? charles is so petty, maybe he could go work for the obama administration after his blog finally folds from a lack of any readership. He is a jerk. Period.

I see that Ace used the word "Integrity", CAPITALIZED even, with even a nod to Paul Anka.
There's some loose shit going on around here.
How can you not mention that the guys at LGF need to get shirts - don't make a fuckin' maniac out of me.
Posted by: connertown at June 10, 2010 12:31 PM (+q3dR)
And did Charles Johnson then not praise him for countenance and defend this stunt? And keep him on as a privileged moderator? (Zimriel writes I overstated initially.)
Hey Ace, I'm pretty sure upchucki was condoning and egging on the guppie's hotair actions mid-vandalism. There are people out with screenshots. Maybe they can put you some knowledge there and you can add his real-time cheerleading of that stunt.
Oh, and yeah, I'm one of those people scared shitless to donate anymore. I'm afraid some whack job like sharmutant or walter foul mouth is going to show up at my door and force a situation I don't ever want to have to deal with.

So what is this; a fucking slap-fight between two of the biggest cunts on the intertubez? Jesus, this is like playing with house money watching the pony-tailed ukulele player versus AllahPerezHilton. I can't fucking lose on that.
The only thing better would be Bathtub Boy versus Thully.

Any post exposing CJ the Whiney is a good post.
Why doesn't the media give him credit? It's because they actually do SOME source-work and Charles generally ain't it.
Sorry, Charlie.

But somehow the media keeps getting the idea that Charles Johnson was the originator, or at least "the central blogger" in RatherGate.
Does he correct them?...Here he can be seen in this video soaking up all the praise and credit for the Dan Rather documents expose.
