Wait a cherry pickin' minute!

The next time Charles Johnson or any of his moronic followers claim that their madness is just being cherry-picked, that Charles is somehow being crucified for the popularity of his site and that comments on a website mean nothing point them to this post.

all blogs cherry pick to futher their agenda....that's pretty common practice. Their are news stories out there for every persuasion, what you select to present logically will follow your thesis.

...but few use the whining response of Chuckie when he's accused of running a hate site.

"awww your just cherry picking me....you're only doing it coz I'm popular....I can't moderate everthing although I do use filters and delete anti-Bush posts..."

Etc etc

it don't matter where you are in the political spectrum, you'll have idiots posting comments. What matters more is the initial post and what the owner posts.

In this LGF story - Charles points to Markos (which did say screw some Americans that died in Iraq) and some comments on Huffington Post. People are just as free to critique comments posted on LGF as Charles does. That would be more apt. What in the 100 comments do you find most offensive?

Nobody quite gets the whining Messiah complex like Chuckles though....it's ok for him to do it....but point out that his raving lunatic commenters are saying nasty things and it's all lies....lies he tells ya....

...really? Charles has denied that there are idiots that have posted comments on his site?

I've seen Charles deny he is a racist or that he wants to kill all Arabs and Muslims, but when confronted with a actualy idiot comment on one of his threads, I've never seen him deny that it was posted.

Look at the Kos situation, he points out comments regularly that he thinks are 'anti-Semitic' and labels the posts 'The Protocols of Elders of Kos' or what have you. He's claiming that he Daily Kos is anti-Semitic. Using the same tactics that he gets so precious about when others allegedly do it to him.

Charles never said that Markos is anti-semetic. He points out that some of the top diaries and posters have presented anti-semetic viewpoints.

Are there racists and anti-Arabs memebers of LGF? I wouldn't doubt it.

Remember, the thesis here is that Charles is racist. Not some poster on one of his threads. Do I believe that Markos is anti-semetic? No. The same way I don't believe Charles is a racist.

Do I believe that there are anti-semetic members of Daily Kos? Yes. The same way I believe there are racist members of LGF.

Nope, but the headline "The protocols of the elders of Kos" certainly slanders the Daily Kos site, which I believe was the statement above. Nobody claimed that Charles called Markos anti-Semitic. Reading must be so hard for Lizard eyes.

Oh the irony...

"Nobody claimed that Charles called Markos anti-Semitic."

I never said anybody claimed Charles called Markos anti-Semetic.

If you *read carefully* my posts - I stated that point as a fact, not as a correction.

This fact was to support the point that Charles regularly has to defend that *he* is not a racist (though he has racist comments on his site). Even this site regularly claims that Charles is a facist racist. - something that Charles does not claim of Markos.

Markos never is subjected to this racist accusation (even though he also has racist comments on his site, this case anti-semetic remarks)

Does this now make sense for you?

...the headline "The protocols of the elders of Kos" certainly slanders the Daily Kos site, which I believe was the statement above.

I never claimed it wasn't derogotary, in fact if you *read carefully* my very first post. I illustrates that every political site has an angle, and what you choose to say/present about your opponents will naturally reflect that bias. Do you not agree this site contains derogatory statements about LGF?

Reading must be so hard for Lizard eyes.

again...the irony.

No but he slanders the entire site as anti-Semitic....and then gets all whiny when people point out his posts can be construed as racist. I despair at other posters here trying to argue the point with an idiot like you.

He definitely raises the flag when Daily Kos has "recommended diaries" that are anti-semetic.

Reality check....what does this site characterize LGF as?

and then gets all whiny when people point out his posts can be construed as racist. I despair at other posters here trying to argue the point with an idiot like you.

Again, I have seen himself complain that he is painted as a racist - but if you can provide one instance where he denys a specific comment that a idiot posted in his comments section - then you may have something.
