Good Morning, Lizardland

And we were just talking about Ed Mahmoud on the overnight thread.

good morning {erf....mrf... *yawn*}

OH DEAR....! WTF?!?!?! Charles is an asshat?

That's it - I am tired of waking up the parallel universe!

...must return to the vortex.....now, where was that?

Don't these assholes know the real meaning of "censorship"?

What is they say in Hollywood ( I know who really cares what they say ) any publicity is good publicity?

Yawn.

Ever notice how the people that accuse you of things like this are usually the ones that really practice it?

It's Charles' blog...if they don't like it, they can start their own. Which is much better than trying to institute some half-assed "Fairness" doctrine...

That is a bit unexpected. I asked Pastorius to be removed from IBA a few weeks ago because I thought they were way over-the-top anti-Muslim. We got into an email exchange, in which he basically revealed that he was worried over Spencer for coalescing toward fascist elements.

Again, ignorance is not a card to be played by these people.

I guess expediency trumps all, if Muslims are seen as monsters, which is the kind of characterization that prompted me to leave anyway.

Good morning Charles,
Last time I checked, this was YOUR blog... no one else.. you do what you want
if they don't like it start their own or read somewhere else. Easier choices as far as I can tell.

To ANGER a Conservative tell him a lie, To ANGER a liberal tell him the TRUTH.

Wonder how much they'd enjoy being trashed on their own site before their 'censorship' kicked in?

Hey Lizards, should we ronpaul the thing and give CJ a convincing, ummm, victory?

not enough coffee, yet -- WHO are these folks behind the awards...?

Well, Charles, I really haven't been following this schism very closely. From what I can tell, you have tried to maintain your integrity and keep away from extremism and fascism. I give you points and hope the others come to their senses.

Fork 'em. I think you're doing a great job, and I appreciate your efforts in this regard.

Cheers, later.

and what's a non-CHRC?

It's called projection.

By the way, did anyone ever see this?

"Robert, can you answer one simple question for me. This would help a lot in deciding what is really going on here. Which European political parties do you UNCONDITIONALLY condemn because of their proven ties to racist nationalism?" (Walter L. Newton email to Robert Spencer sent on Friday, November 07, 2008 1:16 PM)

And his answer...

"Actually, I am fighting jihad, and have no interest in or intention to investigate these groups. Insofar as they are fighting jihad, I applaud them. Insofar as they are doing anything else, my endorsement is not implied." (Robert Spencer email answer to Walter L. Newton sent on Sat 11/8/2008 10:39 AM)

Oops. Wrong answer, huh Robert.

Be thankfu for those who criticize, it shows who your real friends are. The blog still belongs to you, so you are still free to do what you want with it -- At least until the blog fairness doctrine kicks in.

Spencer is the run away winner for the "Best Infidel Blogger"

There you go.

Oh, brother.

So, on the way to work this morning, I saw a bumper sticker that said:

Stop Global Whining.

It was a trades truck, the sort that Joe the Plumber would drive. Made my whole morning.

As I have always said, Charles, it is your house and you have right to run it as you see fit.

I guess insolvable internet arguments are inevitable but absent racism, I am not sure I would ever bounce anyone. I am not sure I care if you patch up with Atlas but Spencer, who should now be chagrined at Vlaams true colors has been fighting the right fight. Sometimes a little tough love is better than breaking bridges.

Reaganite come home!

re: #3 hermit

good morning {erf....mrf... *yawn*}

OH DEAR....! WTF?!?!?! Charles is an asshat?

That's it - I am tired of waking up the parallel universe!

...must return to the vortex.....now, where was that?

Hold on, I'll shave off my goatee...

So now "censorship" is now the same as getting banned d/t bad behavior and angry because they got caught?
Charles, they can all go ....
*SPIT * ing to hell in the same handbasket.

I've always been very happy with the moderation here. It makes LGF a place where you can express views comfortably without feeling that you and your rep will be tarred and soiled by the presence of ugly remarks. Thanks Charles for your outstanding leadership and judgement. It's too bad there aren't more like you.

Just because people are online and sort of anonymous does not give them the right to spew forth every nasty thing that might cross their brains. Sad that that there is so little self- control left

Good on ya, Charles.

This place (the comments pages) was starting to get as foul as Lucianne. I've been called a traitor, an idiot, a liberal scumbag , you name it.....all because I'm willing to criticize the GOP and Bush's myopic policies. Some of the hard right in here are as bad as a any leftist in their blind commitment to failed ideology.

Since everyone is free to start their own blog, whining about being censored just shows that the whiners are too lazy to develop an audience.

Here's a hint: whining is boring. You can't bore people into reading your opinions.

Forget whether you agree with Charles or not over the fallout. It's irrelevant in this context.

Just how in the world could managing your private blog be spun as censoring ass-hatness? You thought only CAIR types subverted Western freedoms to further their agenda? These freaks whom many here thought of as allies, just conveniently rewrite the definitions of free speech, subvert the cornerstones of individual liberties, so that they may justify a self-proclaimed right to spew bullshit on everyone's doorstep and be able to screech "censorship!" whenever anyone gives them the stick.

Somehow individual rights are only noble and worthy of preservation when their crypto-fascist religious supremacist agendas are not threatened by them.

Georgies?

What are these people talking about? Is Charles just supposed to let idiots, racists, and various other low-lifes spew their venom on his website?

I haven't witnessed any censorship on here - and, hey! I down-dinged Charles and survived. (so far)

After the way Spencer has behaved (I really didn't expect him to be as malicious as he's been), and with the statements he's made recently, that's extremely unlikely.

Congratulations!

There's a weird blur out there with some people who feel that "Freed'm 'o Speech" means everywhere, anytime, all the time... even on private forums... and people like that aren't our deep thinkers.

re: #27 jaunte

Since everyone is free to start their own blog, whining about being censored just shows that the whiners are too lazy to develop an audience.

They're free to voice their opinions, but no one else is required to provide them with a forum.

I protested their decision there yesterday and I think it is ridiculous for them to call Charles a pro-censorship a^^hat when Charles was among the first to publicise Ezra Levant case in the US

Isn't that like getting dumped by a girlfriend and then talking constantly about her for years afterwards? Isn't that called stalking?

Charles must have been the best relationship some of them ever had!

Mornin'.
Need my espresso.
Can't think.

Apparently, speaking out against Eurofascists, and not letting the LGF comments pages turn into a racist cesspool makes me as bad as or worse than the Canadian Human Rights Commission and Mohammed Elmasry, in their strange little world of “anti-jihad” make believe.

This is censorship and it makes me sick

[Link: www.foxnews.com...]

IMHO Charles, considering the source of the award and the comments posted, I'd wear it as a Badge of Honor. Thanks for not caving in.

Kind of a badge of honor, isn't it?

Snow in Midwest Indiana and Janis Dean is as big as a house. Twins?

re: #19 mph

Spencer is the run away winner for the "Best Infidel Blogger"

There you go.

Which means that they havwe given fully into the ideology of the jihadists, that of fascism. These fools think that you can fight fascism with fascism. When one wins though, all one is left with is a variant of fascism, not the freedom we so richly desire. And by allying with these fascists, all they do is give the socialist enablers more ammunition to claim the anti-jihad is a racist endeavor.

Spencer, Dymphna, Bodissey, I'm looking directly at you. You fools. You think that allying with these fascists is the right thing to do? Don't you remember what these folks' ideological ancestors did in Europe? You fools.

Charles, keep on doing the right thing and oppose this craziness. Regardless of what they may think of your work, we lizardoids believe you are on the correct path. Thank you.

Not worth getting upset over... If they don't see their problem, let them rot in it...

Obviously they don't understand that it takes wasted energy and oxygen to deal with the kind that are banned here by Charles (thank you for having such standards). The pointlessness of arguing with someone who will not acknowledge fundamental rules of existence is painful, at best.

They are of the same ilk that exists with anyone unwilling to deal with 'A is A' and through twisted mentality thrive in that insanity that they can somehow change it without changing its definition.

Life is short, just like not tolerating a toddler in a tantrum. They learn fast if you don't tolerate it they can't do it. The problem is that all these folks seem to be toddlers who have been allowed tantrums and REWARDED for them so they think they have some valid justification.

Thanks Charles, I think deep down they are either indignant that you banished them forever (to the corner of the universe!) or totally delusional about being stuck in their obvious paradigm.

Stay the course Charles.

Indeed. What a mighty blow to jihad.

As I have always said, Charles, it is your house and you have right to run it as you see fit.

I second that. Here the discussion is active and engaging without the vile. Gives us semi-lurkers an opportunity to participate without feeling overwhelmed. It's a pleasure to come here and recommend this site to others, knowing the discourse is open and not disgusting. Keep up the great work Charles. and Thanks.

Morning all,

Gone a day and I see 200 more lizards have been hatched. From a beautiful northern California I say welcome all new hatchlings!

Oh and Charles, I like LGF just the way your are.

re: #46 Sharmuta

Heh.

Hatchlings be forewarned by this accusation of censorship:

You have every right to accept the invitation to Charles' living room.
You have a responsibility to be civil and respectful while here.
If you sh*t all over the carpets, scratch the couch and gobble up all the fruitcup... you will be grabbed by your scruff and put in the yard.
If you feel intellectually incontinent, stay on the porch until you're feeling better.

Thank you Charles for an amazing place to learn {and sometimes play}.

Please remember to tip your waiter... lots of little hamsters to feed.

re: #50 DeafDog

You beat me by 19 second!

GMTA

As a newbie (as of a couple weeks ago) I've found this forum to be the most fair and intelligent that I've been on.
From what I've seen, fair warning has been given to all with the exception of the overtly malicious.
Anyone can start a new forum.
I don't go into mill bars full of union workers and start talking about Republican principles for what I think are obvious reasons.
Same principle.
For what it's worth.

I'm glad Charles has standards. The only thing that bothers me is that he let me in? You know the old Groucho marx joke about any club that have him?

Being flamed by the likes of these people is a badge of honor to be proudly worn. You have hit their soft spot, Charles, and this is the only way they know how to react. Any sane and rational person knows what these creeps are all about and it comes down to one word: Hatred. We appreciate your diligence and hard work in exposing these bottom feeding racists.

"Censorship" is a term that has almost no useful meaning, IMHO. If I write a screenplay and Paramount Pictures declines to turn it into a movie, have I been censored? If I figure out your social security number and post it on the internet, only to have my site taken down, have I been censored? If I walk into a shoe store and start shouting "death to the Freemasons," and the owner asks me to leave, have I been censored? This is Charles' shoe store.

After a while, most whiners start to sound like this anyways.

Thanks for your hard work and dedication, Charles!

Oops. Wrong answer, huh Robert.

Ok, so I just posted the above on that blog that Charles linked to. I wonder what will happen?

I just love people who blather on endlessly about how they aren't allowed to speak.

re: #41 Honorary Yooper

Yeah, about that. Can someone please explain to me why these (thinly-veiled) national socialists should lay claim to the anti-jihad mantle in Europe?

Isn't that sort of like saying that Franco's allies weren't that bad, since they fought the Commies, and the Reds in Spain were all right, because at least they were fighting the fascists?

In an ideal world, both would lose out.

re: #53 jaunte

Antwerp or Bust.

Charles,

As long as new people are chomping at the bit to be a part of this site, you are doing something right. The registration windows and the number of people waiting to get in should make you feel pretty good. They are just JELLIS.

re: #62 ploome hineni

As much as I would love to rehash our disagreement regarding what we should most concentrate on regarding who our enemy really is. I was making a joke with you, as I had forgotten that disagreement.

If you are unable to move past that singular conversation, then that is something I will have to keep in mind.

I'd moved on.

re: #74 Nevergiveup

They decided that they need him after all. He might end up being their 60th vote.

Good Grief Charles - you've got 47% of the vote - what bungholes.
Thanks for keeping this place high and tight and not letting it turn into bottom sucking scum land.

The thing that always amuses me about people whining about being censored is that they never own their own website or blog. They mooch off of others to post their comments.

It's pretty simple. Charles owns Little Green Footballs. He bought the web space and the storage for the information. He has the right to censor or ban anyone he wants. We post here at his discretion. He could remove all posting privileges and could ban anyone here.

The thing to remember that this is not a free speech issue. The First Amendment says "Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech...." While "Congress" has been expanded to mean "government," last time I checked, Charles isn't a government representative.

He can do whatever the hell he wants on his website because it's private property. This is no different than someone putting a political sign on your property. You have the right to remove that sign because it's on your property.

re: #8 medaura18586

That is a bit unexpected. I asked Pastorius to be removed from IBA a few weeks ago because I thought they were way over-the-top anti-Muslim. We got into an email exchange, in which he basically revealed that he was worried over Spencer for coalescing toward fascist elements.

Again, ignorance is not a card to be played by these people.

I guess expediency trumps all, if Muslims are seen as monsters, which is the kind of characterization that prompted me to leave anyway.

Ooooops,

I thought this was Infidel Bloggers Alliance. Sorry about that. Pastorius has nothing to do with this.

Well, it is nice to come to a site without hazmat gear.

"These are people who believe in this stuff more than Barack himself does," said a Democrat close to Obama's campaign. "These guys didn't put together a campaign in order to turn the government over to the Clintons."

I will, I didn't even read anything there. I don't have to. My email exchange with Spencer is all the proof I need of where his intentions lay. They can try to dispute it all they want, they can't can't the simply stated facts as Spencer did.

re: #76 Killgore Trout

They are pretty sure you are VP at LGF too it seems. Or maybe you are just a sockpuppet for Charles.

The amount of ire those on LGF2 and LGFWatch hold for this one site is a bit funny. I can understand disagreement, but they are obsessive.

re: #74 Nevergiveup

My first reaction is that it would be good, because he'll be a lot more reasonable in letting things come to a vote and letting Republicans speak than some of the other Democrat Senators might be.

re: #90 hermit

thank you.

That is the first time I have posted that email exchange anywhere besides here at LGF. But this "poll" is so ludicrous that I finally decided to go "public" with it.

Ok Robert, here comes your 15 minutes of infamy.

People don't understand that "freedom of the press" refers to the guy who owns the press, not the guy who insists that you have to print his opinion on it. Nor does freedom of speech mean that anyone has the right to come into my home and stick a manifesto on my refrigerator. Your freedom to speak is not my obligation to print it.

Not that I'm really keeping up with this censorship awards thing, whatever it is, but did anyone nominate Obama for attempting to have law enforcement prevent Stanley Kurtz from discussing his anti-Obama book on various radio stations?

Well except for the WOT, Defence, and other issues vital to our survial, he usually has.

re: #96 Sharmuta

They should just get on with actually discussing something. Can't be good for their souls/lives.

re: #106 Ringo the Gringo

Heh.

Uh oh. Now you're tempting me.

Your house, your rules. I would think that would be obvious. I get tired of people screaming censorship on personal blogs. Like blogs are democracies. As far as I know, we don't get to vote on the content of blogs. They are the property of the owner. I should think that people would be thankful that a place is provided where people of different localities and backgrounds can get together and share discourse on topics that we have an interest in.

I would also think it's obvious that since you have been instrumental in uncovering several shady "doings" in the press that you'd be a fool if you allowed your blog to become a hatefilled cesspool (well it's called that already, but I mean for real) where you can be discredited by the content of a few nutcases.

So, I would like to thank you, Charles Johnson, for the gracious host you are in creating a wonderful and homey place where we all can gather and share our thoughts, experiences and philosophies in a non hostile environment.

We had a fraternity in college made up almost entirely of depledges from other fraternities.

Not sure if that's an adequate description of LGF2. I've never been there.

It is Charles's strict way to deal with racists and fascists that makes LGF reliable.
This lament about "censorship" is pathetic and should be seen as an award.

As soon as you take a principled stance on (fill in the blank) you will have detractors. It just comes with the turf.

Stand strong, Charles! we know you're fighting the good fight.

Too funny!

He who pays the piper calls the tune. I thank Charles for a consistent policy with regard to the content of posts since they reflect on him, disclaimers or not. I have no problem with his policy and think it is a large enough tent to allow most people with reasonable views to post them. If I have views that are at variance with what Charles allows to be posted, there are other places to post them.

It's still hurtful to be hated. I really can't feel comfortable with any of that.

re: #148 buzzsawmonkey

If you ban a Buddhist for his views can you be accused of Zensorship?

Yes, I think that would be the appropriate term.

I believe it's called "Mezcal" if there's a worm. I could be wrong.

Frankly, it's the consistent high level of moderation that keeps me coming back to this site. Keep it up. Too many other sites - on both sides of the political spectrum - bear a striking resemblance to a cage full of monkeys engaged in a flinging contest.

re: #150 notutopia

Love and Hate are only separated by an EMPATHY requirement.
They are both a matter of the HEART. Not the BRAIN !

The opposite of either is indifference.

re: #156 apachegunner

Mezcal, a great way to forget a weekend.

Want some Cheez-wiz to go along with that pathetic whine?

(Reminds me of the sad bastards that holler endlessly about how they are repressed and stifled and having their "free speech" rights trampled on but yet there they are, day after day, spouting off their nonsense, unharmed, unfettered. Just because that they are unlistened-to, have little if no influence and are proving themselves to be kooks doesn't mean that they are being censored...

...now, when it comes to the conservative message and the socialist lamestream press, that's ANOTHER story!)

Great pic of the little wee "crusader"! Hehe.

re: #148 buzzsawmonkey

Ah. But how does one censor that which is at once everything and nothing at all?

At least they leave it at one comment or so. Whoever runs those LGF2/LGFsucks sites is so soo sad it makes me cringe. Full-time obsession...

can we link to one of those site?

Fox is saying the "Grain" ship hyjacked is Iranian to go along with that Saudi oil tanker. Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of guys?

re: #161 MandyManners

The opposite of either is indifference.

And it's hard to cure. I tried to go to an Apathy Support Group once,....but nobody showed.....

Don't feel bad, Charles, it's obviously a Canadian website...(it's actually not a "good thing" to be recommended by this site -- better to be seen as Enemy Number One.)

re: #155 Nevergiveup

Actually it was probably true.

No doubt as the AFC had just been born. Giants are looking tough this year again. Where's that firman Jet dude lately? He's been pretty quiet.

There is a mentality loose in the world--I call them whiny liberal hippie cowards, there are other names--that thinks the 1st Amendment requires us to listen to them.

They're wrong. They have a right to speak, not a right to an audience.

They also think they are protected from being offended and outraged.

They're wrong there as well.

So, the sooner these folks get a fresh dose of Darwinism, shut up and prepare themselves to be offended and outraged, the better we'll all be.

Just received this picture from an anonymous sources.

It purportedly shows Charles back in grade school. Can you figure out which one is Charles?

See, the dude has always had a bad attitude. I'm not surprised.

BTW, comment #164 about whining was NOT directed at the Big Green Lizard, but his detractors, so don't hit me, boss!

(Do Big Green Lizards come from Big Green Eggs?)

Before I go...I thought this might be apt:

......, guard my tongue from evil and my lips from speaking deceitfully. To those who curse me, let my soul be silent; and let my soul be like dust to everyone.... As for all those who design evil against me, speedily nullify
their counsel and disrupt their design.

BOKER TOV!

re: #169 apachegunner

Charles asks that we not.

OT- Fox is wondering aloud whether John McCain would serve in an Obama cabinet. I for one hope that he does. Then maybe he'll be exposed for what he is politically and we'll be rid of him.

Probably be in charge of borders....

Charles has done more for the cause of freedom and Conservatism than any one else on the blogosphere. Again, I don't mind you having disagreements with him. It's your business not mine but putting his blog name next to those terrorists in that category is shameful and an insult to any one intelligence. Please review your decision. Thanks

/Waves at Winston.

They call this "censorship"?

Ask any former government office-holder from the Soviet Bloc about "censorship" and the people who were imprisoned and/or murdered on any pretense, just for trying to be heard.

If Charles were engaging in "censorship" nobody would be around to nominate him for this phony, hypocritical "award."

I stepped over the line once and paid the price, but after an apology, Charles was nice enough to let me back into LGF and I can honestly say he is fair Man and I enjoy this place.

re: #168 Killgore Trout

Heh. They have a "Biggest Suck Up" poll as well. Apparently they have a fixation on Killgore, Shamuta, Mandy, NY Nana, and Medura. It's the first time I looked at that place in months.

This is as much as a dose of Narcissistic Supply as they need.

Ploome and I know each other. I've disagreed with her on several occasions, she's yelled at me, I've let it drop, or objected, as the situation called for.

Does anyone else find all the "pirate attacks" in the news positively Randian? It sends chills up my spine.

I think we are going to see a serious reaction very soon. At least I damn well hope we do.

The problem is that the pirates have a nice cozy home in Somalia, where it's part of their frickin' economy. They have entire towns set up to service the pirates. No government to speak of means it's a lawless region. It's a failed state and that lawlessness means that terrorists can set up shop too.

The piracy aspect is just the tip of the iceberg, and the failure to deal with failed states in the past will continue to haunt the world for years to come.

Lieberman keeps committee chair

WASHINGTON – Sen. Joe Lieberman will keep his chairmanship of the Senate Homeland Security Committee despite hard feelings over his support for GOP nominee John McCain during the presidential campaign.

The Connecticut independent will lose a minor panel post as punishment for criticizing Obama this fall.

Lieberman's colleagues in the Democratic caucus voted 42-13 Tuesday on a resolution condemning statements made by Lieberman during the campaign but allowing him to keep the Homeland Security Committee gavel. He loses an Environment and Public Works panel subcommittee chairmanship, however.

re: #229 MandyManners

The irony also, of course, is that while this Canadian allows a "vote" for the most "censorious," (and derides Charles), they also list websites which I would not be (at all) surprised to find taken off the Internet under Canada's anti-hate speech laws. Thus, true government censorship these "geniuses" have no qualms about...but someone who owns a blog and exercises/enforces standards, these idiots classify as "censorship" -- again, the sheer irony/stupidity...they obviously haven't a clue about what constitutes actual "censorship" -- must be a product of the Canadian educational system or what?

re: #222 doppelganglander

If you knew anything about me you'd know what an ignorant statement that is. You are obviously nothing but a shit-stirrer. Go away.

And you are obviously a nativist xenophobic ignoramus. There are idiots who still think socialism is like, the greatest gift to humanity, and we ought to adopt it in this country. We tend to call them Leftist moonbats. Then there are others who think immigrants "steal American jobs" and are bad for the economy; they tend to favor protectionist tariffs too. We call them nativist dimwits. Both positions are actually very close to one-another and are equally economically preposterous.

He who pays the piper calls the tune. I thank Charles for a consistent policy with regard to the content of posts since they reflect on him, disclaimers or not.

If I have views that are at variance with what Charles allows to be posted, there are other places to post them.

My thoughts exactly.
