It’s on baby…!
Cage match.
I think the guy is getting a little sensitive lately.
Since I’m being excommunicated from the ranks of the faithful anyway, I’ll come out and say it: this is absolutely disgusting. Where was Michael Steele? What the hell is wrong with the right?.
What the hell is wrong with the right….?
What the hell is wrong with that site. It’s like the daily Kos now.
I have never seen him get like this. He was practically flecking spittle all over the computer screen in his angry rant to demonize Rush Limbaugh.
He put up an audio of Rush Limbaugh talking about the white school kid who had the bejeezuz beat out of him on the school bus filled with black kids while they all laughed and cheered.
Johnson was angry.

Sun, Sep 20, 2009 11:14:26am replyquote 7downupreportThere’s much more to this ugly rant than the “segregated buses” line. It’s pure race baiting. If you don’t see that, well, there you go.
He got the audio btw from …drum roll please, Media matters. The same Media Matters that put out a severely altered video the other day to critcize Glen Beck.
Charles Johnson is now linking to Media Matters.
Pathetic.
He also linked to NewsOne for black America who had an article of Rush Limbaugh’s ten most racist quotes.

All out of context, and sarcasm. Right?
He also threatened people who disagreed with him and there were at least six deleted posts. Many tried to say that Rush was just being sarcastic. Charles would have none of it.

Sun, Sep 20, 2009 11:54:15am replyquote 1downupreportIf you want to disagree with my take, that’s fine. But if you can’t do it without being insulting, your account will be history.
He posted at least 14 comments on the diary about all of Limbaugh’s racism. That’s a lot for him.
The man was motivated.
Of course two of his loyal little soldiers, Kilgore Trout and Sharmuta were there to back him up.That would be the same Kilgore Trout who was planting comments on Hot Air the other night to embarrass them.

It’s also worth noting the the schoolbus fight ended up not being a racial incident. Rush, Drudge and Malkin were trying to turn it into one.
I will leave it you people to figure out how he came to that conclusion since there has been almost a media blackout on it.
Sharmuta
Sun, Sep 20, 2009 12:20:48pm replyquote 5downupreportI fail to see how Rush’s “sarcasm” is making things any better. I fail to see how it encourages understand, or sympathy for our fellow Americans. Rather this “sarcasm” seems more like another wedge to divide people than to bring us together. Hooray for furthering increased polarization, eh?
What the hell is he doing to that site. I think he sold it to someone else and just walked away.
This is not the Little Green Footballs that I used to know.
He is picking fights with everybody on the right.
Kilgore Trout was trying to set up Hot Air…?
Now he is calling out Limbaugh in a most incendiary fashion.
This is gonna’ get good.
I imagine that Rush will be addressing this tomorrow.
Stay tuned.

NeoKong...do you have your own blog?
Aaron Gardner (Diary) Sunday, September 20th at 5:52PM EST (link)The only reason I ask is because I don’t think you should involve RS in a flame war with Charles Johnson…no matter how despicable he may be.
I think Moe was trying to tell you that the other day.
Now I am not a moderator but if you have your own blog I would suggest you post this sort of stuff there instead of here.
No sense bringing Charles Johnson’s flame war to RS.
conform and celebrate diversity….or else!!!

I didn't really take it that way.
NeoKong (Diary) Sunday, September 20th at 6:36PM EST (link)But I will read his comment again and do my best not to sink into the gutter.
I do not consider this to be a flame war and I have not insulted him on this diary.
Charles Johnson is a well known internet icon and he is deliberately picking a fight with the King of talk radio,Rush Limbaugh.
He is most definitely and quite clearly calling him a racist and to prove it he is linking to far left sites that people on the right often laugh at for their silliness and outright deception.
When he calls Limbaugh a racist he is in effect calling his listeners racists as well as they tune in to hear his opinions. Many of which they agree.
That is news and I do not think it is inappropiate to talk about it.
His attacks on other right-wing sites and the purge of his own members who dare to disagree with him is certainly a topic to be considered political in nature.
I will have you know that LGF was probably one of the first sites I joined a few years ago. I was as loyal as anyone but anyone who knows that place would certainly have to admit that it is not the same .
To be quite honest if he changed the name of his site you would not be able to recognize it.

It's one of those situations where there are two Moe-opinions.
Moe Lane (Diary) Sunday, September 20th at 7:01PM EST (link)Moe Lane the RS site moderator doesn’t intend to put the hammer down on posts that reference this situation – unless of course they’re unacceptable in other ways.
Moe Lane the guy who’s been blogging since 2002 or 2003 thinks that this is… not really worth my time, or yours (generic), or RedState’s.

My (combined) wish list.
The guy is completely ripping on the GOP.
NeoKong (Diary) Sunday, September 20th at 7:19PM EST (link)Michael Steele and Ann Coulter too.
That seems pretty clear that he considers the racist Limbaugh to be running the GOP and that Steele is just a figure head with no real power.
He is saying some very provocative things over there and he ain’t joking.
I have seen from time to time that some here link to other political sites and criticize or analyze statements ,opinions or comments.
NYT’s, The Washington Post,Andrew Sullivan and the such are some examples.
That was my intent.
However…I can take a hint.
If you think I’m stinking up the joint I will quietly let this diary go softly into the night.
As a guest here I will be polite to my hosts.

As I said, that was Moe the blogger talking.

Aaron Gardner (Diary) Sunday, September 20th at 7:05PM EST (link)And heck I may have read Moe wrong. I would check with him just in case.
Oh and I didn’t mean you were flaming….I just know from what I have read over the last couple of weeks that this is Charles Johnson’s flame war and he has a tendency to send out his minions to fight for him….we definitely don’t need that here.

I listened to Rush that day and he was saying...
JadedByPolitics (Diary) Sunday, September 20th at 5:57PM EST (link)the white kid deserved it (mocking) because he was obviously RACIST from the time he was 6 months old as the Time or Newsweek magazine said all white babies are. LGF took me 3 years to get in to get to comment and 1 month to drop it from my links. That Johnson guy is so outside anything I would consider Conservative let alone a Republican that he isn’t worth the time I am now taking to talk about him. He is simply a simpleton.

Flagstaff (Diary) Monday, September 21st at 2:21AM EST (link)From wikipedia
yet
A friend of Israel, credited with doing the hard work in exposing the Dan Rather document fraud, exposer of photoshopped news pictures, a founder of Pajamas Media, and obviously concerned about race problems. There is much to admire about his work.
Maybe his center-left roots have started to cloud his reason. That can happen to someone who is passionate about anything. An ironic or sarcastic remark can be taken as serious, and seriously misunderstood.
Or, space aliens could have kidnapped him and replaced his brain with one made of anti-matter. Take your pick.
“The press is so powerful in its image-making role that it can make a criminal look like he’s the victim and make the victim look like he’s the criminal. If you aren’t careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”– Malcolm X, Audubon Ballroom, December 13, 1964
It's more than that.
NeoKong (Diary) Monday, September 21st at 9:22AM EST (link)He has annointed himself to be the judge of what is OK to say and goes after speech he doesn’t like.
Which is fine. This is America. He is entitled to his opinion.
The thing that is really funny however is how while he is ripping up Rush Limbaugh and portraying his comments as disgusting he is threatening his own members to speak to him politely or be banned and did in fact ban several memberes on that thread alone.
If you speak against Johnson on his own site you are gone. Plain and simple.
It’s hypocritical. He goes on a rant to criticize those he considers to be racist but then ignores the fact that Obama’s own people have been doling out that racist crap for over a year now and feed off of it.
Obama does not care about racism. He loves the perception of racism because it is a tool he can use to smear his critics.
For Johnson to get all high and mighty about snarky commentary is ridiculous.
He shreds people all the time but somehow his reasons are more pure.
Follow me on Twitter.
I don't follow his work.
Flagstaff (Diary) Tuesday, September 22nd at 1:06PM EST (link)But, maybe my space alien suggestion isn’t far from the mark. The behavior you describe might indicate an undiagnosed brain tumor.
