To bomb or not to bomb....

there was no “threat to bomb a mosque.”

Charles Johnson

Well done Charles, there was obviously no comment threatening to bomb the mosque. I mean, there are no threats here, if you think there are you're a fool and an Islamist!

On "Little Green Footballs," blogger Amer1can wrote, "Would be a shame if it were to be vandalized or destroyed. Just a shame I tell you....wink wink STL youth."

Blogger Arthur E. Hippler added: "I suppose dynamite would be considered an extreme response."

See, they said dynamite would be considered extreme! Vandalized or destroyed is completely different.

UPDATE: Still no apology from Charles for the post that incited the threats.

Why the quote marks Charles?

Sometimes he's bigoted, sometimes he's dishonest and sometimes he's just plain stupid. This however is just odd.

Armed Serbian “youths” in Belgrade have attacked the US and German embassies, and the US embassy is on fire.

Now we all know that Charles is very keen on the myth that the MSM use the term "youths" to disguise the fact that the dreaded Muslim hoardes are smashing up Europe. So much so that he uses the term in quote marks at every given opportunity. One wonders then why he would use it here. Why would Serbian yobs be given the dreaded quote marks? It doesn't help that the article you quoted doesn't actually use the term "youths", that just adds to the oddness of the post.

After all these "youths" attacked the US Embassy in protest against Kosovo declaring its independence and are therefore highly unlikely to be Muslims.

The very definition of hypocrisy

Charles apparently still hasn't got it and probably never will. Seems that he solves just about all his problems by spewing out one hypocritical statement after the other:

Here’s an email received from the Assistant Managing Editor of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, on their uncritical, irresponsible reporting of CAIR propaganda: (..)

Heh. What about this bunch of uncritical, irresponsible reporting of anti-Islamic propaganda you've been parroting lately and have proven to be wrong about?

We know you're reading this, either you or your own faithful fanbase. For once, grow a set of balls and admit that you were wrong. Either that, or we'll conclude that you intentionally rely on lies and false information to support your cause. Some fauxtography catcher you are indeed.

To quote the Nodrog (interestingly enough, similar circumstances):

This post exemplifies a classic Charles Johnson technique - put up an inflammatory story, but with no editorial comment (sometimes he can't help himself, but other times like this he shows "restraint"), let the illiterati run wild, and then, if anyone calls him on it, point back to the actual post and say "Who, Me?"

Bonus Chuckie Quote:

There was no apology for Townsend’s rude, childish, and insulting tone, of course

Chutzpah anyone? Where's your apology Charles? After all the post the incited these calls for violence was completely and utterly bogus. Where's your apology to the local Muslims who have now had internet threats made against them based on a lie spread by you?

Charles blames the 'Media' *Yawn*

This is just so easy. Charlie still refuses to get it.

Bottom line: the mainstream media are disgraceful once again, carrying water for a known radical Islamic organization and failing to do due diligence in covering the story.

No Charles.

Bottom line: Your site, through your carefully structured anti-Muslim bias attracts people who make open threats against Muslims and their property. Pointing that out and exposing you as someone who enables intolerance and threats of violence is not libel. Why should they contact you? The comments were on your site, made by your 'lizards', you've spent two posts and haven't once apologized for the statements that openly threatened Muslims and their property.

Neither have you apologised for your original post which incited the comments.
Why apologise?

Well it was complete and utter rubbish that's why. Which was either deliberate anti-Muslim propaganda or perfect example of what's wrong with 'citizen journalism'.

Gateway Pundit has the pictures of a huge tower being constructed in St. Louis City, complete with loudspeakers for blaring the adhan

And here's an interesting paragraph in the St Louis paper Charles links to today.

But Madina Masjid's spiritual leader, Imam Muhamed Hasic, said the minaret is symbolic, not practical. There is no sound system or speakers on the minaret, which is scheduled to be completed next week. He said the minaret will not be used to call Muslims to prayer.

As a bonus Gateway Pundits pictures have no loudspeakers.

So there you have it.

The comments which were reported to the FBI stemmed from an LGF post which was factually incorrect. So Charles, you're in no position to complain when it's pointed out your in the wrong. Be a man and admit it.

FBI to investigate LGF?

Mosque threatened, Muslim group says

Another blog, called "Little Green Footballs," linked to the "Gateway Pundit" post, and several comments on "Little Green Footballs," caused the Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations to contact the FBI, said Ibrahim Hooper, the council's spokesman.

"We ourselves get these kinds of hate messages and threats frequently," Hooper said. "But you never know who's just talking and who's going to carry out some these threats, so you have to check them out."

It wouldn't be the first time Chuckles has had to speak to the Feds.

UPDATE:

Wouldn't it be sensible to delete the comments (which he has done), ban the posters who made them and then posting a brief statement condemning the promotion of violence against Muslims and their property?

Not for Charles, he's reacted to the claims in his usual hysterical fashion, instead of dealing with the problem he's playing around with re-directs and throwing around accusations and posting multiple updates which really don't say very much.

Let's hope the Feds have a very serious chat with him and his moronic blogging buddies.

Prophetic comment of the day

All it takes is a predominately Muslim region in Europe to gain independence - never mind all the atrocities committed against it - for the lizard army to go "EEEEK!!" (Nothing to fear but fear itself, indeed..)





















Can you smell some genocidal tendencies here? And why, while I'm reading this, does the distant memory of a certain Flemish nationalist party keep coming up, along with other European neo-fascist parties? Could it possibly be that the apologists of such groups sound.. you know.. just like that?

Charles Johnson: Comedy genius

This is just classic Chuckles, from start to finish.

Remember when the Washington Post’s Howard Kurtz labeled LGF commenters as “vile,” suggesting that blog comments need better policing?

“Hypocrisy” doesn’t even begin to describe Kurtz’s article.

Somebody like Charles Johnson should really be careful about throwing the word "hypocrisy" around. For Johnson to even touch on the subject of policing blog comments is on shaky ground. I wonder how many other blogs have had phone calls from the Feds regarding death threats made on their site? I wonder how many blogs where bigotry and racism are so prevalent (as long as it's against Muslims and Arabs). I wonder how many blogs have had to change the blog comment search system so difficult to make it harder to shine a light on them?

Charles Johnson is a class 'A' hypocrite and blogging's most consistent clown.

American Hedonist

The spat between Charles Johnson and Paul Belien is just getting more surreal by the day. Quote of the day today has to go to Paul Belien.

...while Charles Johnson (PBUH) is an American hedonist??

All because Charles caught Brussels Journal linking to an anti-Semitic website. Bizarre.

Combating Islam...

....one Cheeto at a time.

re: #240 Ethelred

I have seen with my own eyes the results Charles Johnson and his minions have in combating the creeping tide of shari'a, so don't you tell me LGFers aren't doing anything to combat islam!

If only neo-Nutzies like Brussels Journal and Atlas Shrugs realised that 'combating' Islam consisted of sending swarms of swivel eyed loons over to various websites to spam, freep and troll! Perhaps they wouldn't have to make friends with the Nazis?

Life's a riot

...or if you're a lizard an 'intifada'.

Never one to miss an opportunity to dress up a riot in a European city as part of the International Muslim Conspiracy, Charles Johnson is becoming a laughing stock. You'd think that anyone with a smidgen of self-awareness would question their worldview wouldn't you. Not Charles Johnson.

Via Sadly, No! (With added LGF comments)

Quote du jour

One cannot be a torturer unless one identifies oneself as a torturer. In other words, a regular person can commit thousands of acts of torture and still not be a torturer if he doesn't embrace the accompanying lifestyle (wearing dark shades and fascistic looking uniforms, reading Little Green Footballs and Michelle Malkin, etc.).

Pope Benedict XVI at Jesus' General

Quote du jour

Take, for instance, Chuckles of the Little Green American Bund. The most rabid of the New Right’s pretend philo-Semites, a consistent Chuckie would have called for Coulter to be “glassified.” Which, of course, didn’t happen. But then since anti-Semitic ventilations such as Coulter’s do not give Charles Johnson an excuse to wish for the genocide of Muslims (his real interest in politics, in blogging, and, no doubt, in life), his reaction was confined to equivocating on Coulter and bashing Media Matters for reporting the story.
