Was this person too dumb even for LGF?
LGFers are typical neocon leftists. I wouldn't expect them to engage in any kind of debate. To them moralistic name-calling is a tactic. Truth is of no interest to the Trotskyites at LGF, Pajamas, and the Weekly Standard. They are not interested in facts so why bother with them at all?Brussels Journal comment section moron 'Johnny Canuck'.
CJ is certainly well-known (almost notorious) for his achingly long articles that strike everything right to the point and sport a magical kind of honesty and informativity hardly seen elsewhere on the intertubes.
Take his last 18-word epos:
http://littlegreenfootballs.com/article/29907_Arab_League_Condemns_Hizballah
In this piece he was quoting an even more massive 25-word article from YNet News in its entirety, something almost never observed anywhere amongst quotes from the lizard king.
And now you can go ahead and search for any inconsistencies between the two pieces. In other words: Guess which statement Chuckles pulled out of his own derrière (which his little green sheep squad gladly swallowed):
The Arab League has condemned Hizballah for using weapons.
Because they weren’t using those weapons to kill Jews. (<- Could it be this one? Hm.. - ed.)"The Arab League condemned Hizbullah for using its weapons within Lebanese territory. The League’s foreign ministers who gathered in Cairo, called for an immediate ceasefire."

Not completely confirmed but looking good: Leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq Arrested in Mosul.
BAGHDAD — The leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq, Abu Ayyub al-Masri, was arrested in the northern city of Mosul, the Iraqi Defense Ministry spokesman said Thursday.
Spokesman Mohammed al-Askari said the arrest of al-Masri, also known as Abu Hamza al-Muhajir, was confirmed to him by the Iraqi commander of the province. There was no immediate confirmation or comment from U.S. forces on the arrest.
The U.S. military in Baghdad said “we are currently checking with Iraqi authorities to confirm the accuracy of this information.”
Interior Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Abdul-Karim Khalaf said that Mosul police “arrested one of Al Qaeda’s leaders at midnight and during the primary investigations he admitted that he is Abu Hamza Al-Muhajir.”
Iraq al-Qaeda chief not captured
The United States military in Iraq says a man detained in the northern city of Mosul is not in fact the leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq.
An earlier statement from the Iraqi defence ministry said that al-Masri had been captured.
But an American military spokeswoman, Peggy Kageleiry, said Abu Ayyub al-Masri had not been arrested.
She said confusion had arisen because a man with a similar name to the al-Qaeda in Iraq leader had been detained.
Al-Qaeda in Iraq has been blamed for or has claimed responsibility for some of the bloodiest insurgent attacks in Iraq since the US-led invasion in 2003.
Members of al-Qaeda are believed to have regrouped in the northern city since the beginning of the US troops "surge" last year.
Al-Masri is believed to have helped Abu Musab al-Zarqawi form the first al-Qaeda cell in Baghdad. Zarqawi was killed in June 2006.
In April 2007, he was named "minister of war" in the 10-man cabinet of the Islamic State of Iraq, an umbrella organisation of Sunni militant groups.
CJ asks: "Blue Collar Voters Bailing on Obama in IN and NC?"
Woops. Obama won NC and lost IN by a massive 2 points. Though you wouldn't know it from LGF cos Charles didn't think it worth updating his readers on the final results.
Charles Johnson is breathlessly reporting on former underground terrorist Bill Ayers desecrating an American flag by "proudly stepping" on in, smearing Barack Obama in the process, because.. You know..
"Ayers was tapped by Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley to shape that city's now nationally-renowned school reform program.[12] Since 1999 he has served on the board of directors of the Woods Fund of Chicago, an anti-poverty, philanthropic foundation established in 1941. This became controversial in the 2008 United States presidential election as Barack Obama had served on the board until 2002, with overlapping times of service with Ayers.[13] (Wikipedia)z0mG, Ayers is des3cr4ting t3h flAg f00, DON'T VOTE FOR OBAMA!!!11!1onefour!
Here's a nasty story of Wikipedia entry manipulation for political gain - something CJ himself has been a victim of in the past! How did Charles miss it? Could it be that he doesn't think it's worth mentioning because one of his arch-enemies is the victim, and his political allies the perpetrators?
Interesting to note that once again all reference to LGF Watch has disappeared from LGF's Wikipedia entry. We're not whining, just a little bit surprised at the tenacity with which the lizards try to airbrush us off the Web. Then again, what else have those pimply wingnuts got to do with their time....?
Q: Why is Charles suddenly discovering his anti-racist side and accusing film-maker Morgan Spurlock of stereotyping Muslims?
A: When Charles sees a storm brewing he likes to divert attention from the matter at hand (conveniently encapsulated in the title of Spurlock's movie: "Where in the world is Osama bin Laden?") by focusing on a spurious detail and blowing it totally out of proportion.
Fact: It requires quite a stretch of the imagination to see a picture of Spurlock in a dishdasha riding a camel as racist? Perhaps Charles is projecting here...
Charles Johnson has been displaying a weird obsession with counting how many visits he's getting from sites that criticize LGF.
Of course there's one site that regularly links to the lizard cesspool: LGF Watch. For five years we've been fearlessly linking to LGF, highlighting the lunacy that passes for 'political blogging' among the Californian wingnut fraternity. But Charles will never know how many visits he's getting from here. Why? Because the coward reroutes all traffic from LGF Watch to the website of the Israeli Defense Force. And people who use the de-refer tool for Firefox to foil his freaky forwarding fetish don't show up in the stats as having come from LGF Watch.
This, incidentally, might also be why the hit count that CJ is registering from other sites is so low: people have figured out his sneaky little trick and turned the tables...
