CJ cherries

Recently a poll was posted on the MSNBC website asking: "Do you believe President Bush's actions justify impeachment?". The vast majority of the participants said "Yes".

Soon enough, Chuckles produced an ingenious statement:

"Never mind that there is absolutely no legal basis for even asking the question"

(http://littlegreenfootballs.com/article/30308_MSNBC_Brings_the_Crazy)

Right, because it's called freedom of thought and stating one's honest opinion. And apparently in LGF-land, it's not legal.

Four degrees of separation

Wow, that's citizen journalism: A book written by a former White House press secretary was published by a company that is owned by a company that is linked to one of the richest men in the world who happens to be a Bush critic!

Pulitzer!

Instead of saying something substantial about the book ("Bush-bashing" doesn't count), CJ establishes some tenuous conspiracy that is supposed to undermine anything McClellan might have written. That's the GOP message machine in action, make no mistake.

The everlasting hypocrisy of Charles Johnson

We have to hand Charles the credit for going even lower every single time we think he just can't:

BBC Lies About Bush 'Claiming Victory'

We’ve seen time and again that the major Western news media are not above staging news (Like the St. Louis Mosque episode, right? - ed.), faking photographs and documents, ignoring important stories that don’t fit their agenda (Says WHO? THAT guy?? - ed.), and filing “articles” that are so biased they shouldn’t be accepted as opinion pieces(Again, says WHO? - ed.) . But there’s at least one news service that has established a pattern of blatantly lying to its readers—the British Broadcasting Corporation: The BBC accuses Bush of ‘claiming victory’ in Iraq again. He didn’t.

(...)

It goes on about how the title implies something different than what Bush has said, but let us remind our readership that this isn't the first time the lizard king has grappled with such 'misquotes'. Only last time, he was fighting for the inaccuracy.

Another question from Chuckles

Charles asks the following question in the headline to one of his open threads.

Should America Have a President Who Associates with America-Haters?

I don't know Charles, what do you think?

....raises questions about U.S. policy, which has consistently supported the Saudi oil monarchy in spite of its refusal to cooperate with the United States in investigations of terrorist attacks against Americans.

Simple equations

In Charlie-land the world's so simple: Hezbollah militants raise their arms like Hitler youth? They must be Nazis, on par with a movement that murdered 6 million Jews and virtually destroyed Europe with its mighty war machine: Hezbollah = Nazis.
Meanwhile, LGF has found PROOF that GWB is the son of God:

People who live in glass houses..

The evidence of Charles "Mr. morally correct" Johnson's hypocrisy is growing by the minute, as shown here:

"Speaking of President Bush’s sword dance with the Saudis, here’s the Iranian reaction, from Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati, Chairman of the Iranian Guardian Council. (Courtesy of MEMRI TV.)

[Video]

Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati: Death to those who participated in the Annapolis Summit, and who got rewarded for this. Their mouths were stitched up, so that they could not speak out anymore. You really deserve death for being so despicable, and for wanting to please Bush, America, and Israel, rather than pleasing God, the Prophet, the Muslims, the oppressed, and the wretched.

[...]

That insignificant man [Bush] visits Islamic countries, while all these crimes are taking place. He travels from country to country, and you are handing him a sword – a sword with which you should be chopping off his head.

Religion of peace!

Alright then, the old reptile can complain about this as much as he likes. But say, what have his own faithful minions been saying about this incident when it happened?

And last but not least, a lizard's wet dream:























Charming bunch you're herding there, Charles, and now tell me your fans are advocates of peace, will you?

Is Charles Johnson wired...

..when he writes his blog? We're just asking cos he plays up the "Romney was wired" meme, conveniently forgetting that he pooh-pooed a similar rumor about Bush's little helper.

Time to lay off the drugs, Chuckie!

BDS at LGF

Two days after the fact, Senior Middle East Analyst Charles Johnson finally got around to mentioning Dubya's Sword Dance with his BFFs in Saudi Arabia.

A sampling of the lizards' reactions:

traitor ... Stop it, George. Just stop it. ... It's idiocy such as this that gave Ron Paul room to run. ... what did he say he wanted his legacy to be? Totally selling out Israel for his Saudi buds? ... Today I am embarrassed to be an American. ... Primitive tribal dance. This is a disgrace. ... Just keep on yukking it up, you filthy excuse for a President of the United States. ... God DAMN! What the fuck is WRONG WITH HIM? ... Does our President have NO shame? ... I just threw up a little in my mouth. ... what an ass, i personally cant think of anythingbad [sic] enough to call him or the ass who sells us hte [sic] oil ... Insanity all around. Laura Bush is numb too, with her hijab disgrace... What the hell was she thinking? And now her husband does even worse. ... He's sickening. I think every move Bush has made has been at the behest of his Saudi masters, including invading Iraq and getting rid of that troublemaking Saddam. ... I think Bush must be saying "Allahu Akbar" in between yuks. ... he looks drugged. so awkward and goofy. another propaganda coup for the enemy ...

and so on.

And the winner is:

You know I was a big I mean big supporter of Bush. I worked at a TV station and God knows I took my share of crap defending him. But now I think he is just a spoiled rich kid. he reminds me of the son of the guy that ran and owned a good portion of the place. Daddy gave him everything. He was a total dumbshit who thought he knew it all and daddy of course backed his every stupid move. God if Democrats where not such total wastes of breathable air they could have beat him in the last election lesser of to evils is getting old in the elections for sure

To us, the only surprise is that any lizard could possibly have been surprised by any of this.

LGF: blowing in the right direction

When it comes to blowing, Charles Johnson likes it one way, not the other.

When the NY Times "blew" (i.e. scooped) an investigation by his bloggyfriend Rusty, Charles went ballistic on their sorry MSM asses.

Yet when the Bush administration blew the cover of a private intelligence company which had infiltrated Al Qaeda-linked websites - not a peep from the mighty green reptile.

Caught out again, Charles!

Ahmadinejad Derangement Syndrome

Wow. Charles may be on the other side of the continent, but the whiff of Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's collar-less shirts in New York is enough to drive a lizard crazy!

CJ has so far put up 9 (NINE!) posts on Ahmadinejad's visit today, and counting. He's virtually frothing at the mouth that nobody has shot at Mr A yet. You have to wonder what Charles feels so threatened by. Doesn't he believe New Yorkers can make up their own mind about this guy?

As an aside, it's ironic how he describes a 55%-45% poll difference as "not much". Does he realize by how many votes Bush allegedly won the 2000 presidential election?

Green Footballs vs Greenspan

If anyone needs proof what a Republican Party dittohead Charles Johnson has become, take a look at his 19-word dissection of Alan Greenspan's 531-page memoir, The Age of Turbulence.

Johnson basically accuses Greenspan _ hardly the left's favorite uncle _ of pandering to "Moonbat" sentiments by saying that one of the main motivations for going to war with Iraq was because of the country's vast oil reserves.

Johnson provides no arguments for his insinuation that the 81-year-old Greenspan is making this claim in order to raise sales of his book. That, of course, would be difficult to prove. Greenspan has had a fairly lucratice career and still retains a number of very well-paid advisory positions from which he is likely to earn a lot more than from sales of his memoirs, which will only interest a tiny minority anyway.

But such considerations don't stop Johnson from parroting the Republican Party line, which is mainly aimed at drowning out another of Greenspan's key claims:

That it was Bill Clinton - above all presidents Greenspan worked with _ who maintain "a consistent, disciplined focus on long-term economic growth."

Ouch, that's gotta hurt the Bushies...

Sacrifices

Further to Charles' approval of Sgt. Eddie Jeffers' insulting suggestion that "the American people have not even been asked to sacrifice a single thing," the two might like to consider that at the very least, thanks to this war the American people have sacrificed schools, healthcare and housing to a questionable cause.

Yes, that's right: while Bush is making billion-dollar cutbacks to essential services that are particularly important to the poor (the constituency that most soldiers come from), he has so far spent half a trillion dollars getting even with daddy's nemesis and will ask Congress for half as much again next week.

If that's not a sacrifice, I don't know what is. It comes to several thousand dollars per taxpayer, and is likely to continue to increase as America deals with the fallout of this disaster. Keep that in mind the next time some blinkered wingnut drone says "I know how to spend my money better than the government does."
