In Which Smear Merchant Chuck C. Johnson Threatens to Sue Me

Very scary

Chuck C. Johnson posing with his best friend

Any day right wing smear merchant Chuck C. Johnson (who is NOT ME) gets so tweezed that he threatens to sue me has to count as a good day. Today I noticed that he was spewing a whole lot of obviously made-up talking points about Ferguson on Twitter, repeating his thoroughly discredited charges that Michael Brown had a juvenile criminal record. So I tweeted this:

And that was all it took to bring out the threats from this dishonest clown:

And when a reporter for Fox 2 in St. Louis also called out Chuck’s obviously false claims…

So watch out, everyone. Chuck C. Johnson will jump out of the bushes and sue you if he doesn’t like what you say about him.

(Excuse me while I LMAO.)

I asked this earlier downstairs, but has Upchuck ever had a source with an actual real name for any of his Ferguson bullcrap?

re: #3 Backwoods_Sleuth

I asked this earlier downstairs, but has Upchuck ever had a source with an actual real name for any of his Ferguson bullcrap?

The answer would be no. All of his information has come from mysterious unnamed sources. Which, considering he is the ONLY one telling these stories, is a strong indicator (as I mentioned downstairs) that he is making it all up.

I liked it better when Pamela Geller was doing battle with Charles…there were pictures of her in a bikini with umbrella drinks in hotel swimming pools whenever she was getting mocked for being the shrieking harpy that she is. Then again, she takes the hatred to 11 every time, so it’s probably better that she’s gone back to her crypt.

So Chuck’s subject was rioting while riding a bicycle in a store with a gun that he hadn’t paid for? Talk about multi-tasking!

He’s so in love with his own cleverness that he has no idea how very stupid he sounds.

30 Targetpractice  Sep 24, 2014 6:09:57pm

Generally one the hallmarks of a bad “journalist” is when they respond to criticism and mockery with threats of legal action. It’s a pretty glaring indication that you’ve no confidence whatsoever in your work, that you feel the only way to defend it is to threaten to sue your critics.

It’s worse when you know and the target knows that you’ve no intention of going through with the threat. Unless I’m missing the time that Chucky successfully sued one of his critics for loads of cash.

Unfortunately, not quite buried yet: she got a cite on the local (NYC) news the other day as being the “purchaser” (i.e. front, I’m sure) for a new series of anti-Muslim hate-posters which will soon be defacing subway stations and buses in the Big Apple. They fortunately didn’t give Pam the free publicity of a pic, and devoted at least as much time to airing the Transit Authority’s fervent disclaimers and mentions of their being forced to post Pam’s garbage by court order (sadly true, btw). The news said the “ads” cost $100,000 - one wonders where Pammy raised the gelt? A bleg? bake sales??

They wear camouflaged uniforms, bearing military-style insignia. They ride helicopters over the forests of Mendocino County, Calif., on the state’s north coast, equipped with firearms…

“Law enforcement just doesn’t have the means to take care of it any longer,” Trouette told TPM…

he said that private citizens aren’t restricted by the Fourth Amendment, which covers illegal searches and seizures, in the same way that law enforcement officers are.

“It’s very clear in the penal code that citizens and private persons have an enormous amount of authority under the penal code and also sometimes even more authority where they’re not subject to the Fourth Amendment restrictions,” he continued…

In a phone interview with TPM, Mendocino County Sheriff Tom Allman seemed a little uncomfortable with having armed contractors operating in his jurisdiction… he described his greatest fear knowing that a firm like Trouette’s is working in the same area as his own officers: “Friendly fire.”

Who is paying those guys? It doesn’t sound like they’re part of any regular police force. A bunch of these interlopers in a helecopter sounds like it would be a prime target for the people that they’re trying to target. It sounds like a disaster waiting to happen, and I kind of feel like saying that I wouldn’t feel all that sorry if something happened to them while they were out on ‘patrol’.

Their own missions, hired by private land owners who own large acreage lots and have a problem with illicit grows being conducted on their property. The self comparison to the Pinkertons is pretty unfortunate and the whole thing does smack of a paramilitary private army, but so far at least they’re operating within the letter of the law. I do wonder who insures that kind of business however, because the liability exposure is enormous, the potential for things to spin out of control is always present.

Two weeks ago my car (2006 Saturn Ion, yes, under recall) failed to turn off when I turned the key in the ignition. In fact, I was able to remove the key from the ignition and the car kept running. To get the car to turn off, I had my brother remove the fuel pump relay and let the fuel pump run out of gas. (BTW, having a smartphone is great for finding stuff like “how to shut down your running Saturn Ion” on the fly. It was especially good for diagrams showing the location of the aforementioned fuel pump relay.)

Yesterday I had the car towed over to the dealership, as I think everyone would agree the thing was dangerous to drive in its current state. Today it was fixed, no charge to me. It’s weird to be driving my own car again, after swapping between my mother and brother’s cars for the last two weeks.

Lesson learned: if they say it’s under recall, get it fixed.

And right on cue, Egg rears her ugly head.

Democratic accusations that Republicans are engaged in a “War on Women” are “offensive” and “not gonna work,” Ann Romney said in a Fox News interview that aired Tuesday…

In addition to refuting the potential of the “War on Women” campaign, Romney also defended Walker in the interview with Fox’s Neil Cavuto.

“Scott Walker’s a good guy. He’s got a wonderful wife and he, you know, values women. And, you know, that just doesn’t fly.”

Wonkette’s take is (of course) more humorous.

On the plus side, the officer in question was fired from the South Carolina Highway Patrol and has now been charged with aggravated assault. But here’s the story (with video). White Highway Patrol officer stops a black man for a seat belt violation outside Columbia, SC. The state trooper Sean Groubert, 31, asks the driver for his license. The driver, Levar Jones, reaches into the car to retrieve his license - at which point Groubert screams “get out of the car” and proceeds to unload four or five rounds from his pistol into Jones at point blank range…

As you can see, the shooting is followed by a macabre and surreal dialog between Groubert and Jones in which Jones asks Groubert why he shot him…

I’m not saying the UAE is better than the United States when it comes to each’s respective treatment of women but:

As for being in competition with her male counterparts, the Major said this was never an issue, saying she “focused on competing with herself to improve her skills”.

“Competing with oneself,” she told the magazine, “is conducive to continued learning.”

There was also no difference between men and women with regards to training and assignments, she said.

“Everybody is required to have the same high level of combat competence,” she said. She also received no special treatment because of her gender.

[…]

Support came from her command, her trainers and her colleagues, whose cooperation encouraged her to last in the job and to enjoy it.

During her studies and career, Major Al Mansouri has met several notable figures, including Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak, the Mother of the Nation and widow of the founding President, Sheikh Zayed.

Other dignitaries she has been privileged to meet include the Vice President and Ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, and Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed, the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, who she met at the Dubai Airshow and the International Defence Exhibition.

I had gotten in the habit of carrying my wallet in my back pocket while driving over the past few years. As a black man, I had not ever placed my wallet anywhere but my dashboard from the time I started driving, well into my upper 20’s. I’ve gotten comfortable about possible police stops, and in light of the events of the past couple of months, I feel slightly ashamed. Almost as if I had forgotten that this could happen to me or to anyone in America. My wallet has moved back to the dash as I drive, but it seems that those measures assumed to de-escalate and protect(Hands Up don’t Shoot) don’t matter anymore.

ChuckC obviously either doesn’t know anything about legal standards of libel (calling bullshit on an unsubstantiated claim will not do it) or, far more likely, he doesn’t believe his audience does. He may in fact be right in the latter case.

A woo woo quack (an aura reader) once tried to file a slander suit against me and my radio station after I called her a quack on the air. It was thrown out on the grounds that she was a quack for prima facie failure to meet the standard for libel, specifically she did not even allege that I made the statement with reckless disregard for what I believed to be the truth.

So, these individuals openly admit to committing multiple criminal offenses - trespassing, vandalism (or destruction of private property), possible weapons brandishment, among other things. I really wonder how many times they’ve gone onto either public lands or onto property that they weren’t hired to “patrol”?

He also might want to re-read the 4th Amendment.

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

It doesn’t mention these actions as being by the government at all, but states these are basic rights. In fact, I would say that it is a protection against exactly the sort of thing he is trying to do.

In layman’s terms, a statement cannot constitute libel or slander unless it is provably false and the defendant either knew it was false or reasonably could have known.
The statement must be shown to have caused actual injury.
The statement must be shown to have been made with malicious intent.

145 Bulworth  Sep 25, 2014 6:25:40am

In today’s NYT are two stories about how shabbily the poor can be treated in the US of A.

First, apparently there is now a tracking device that auto lenders can have installed on cars they sell to “subprime” borrowers—i.e. poor people or people with insufficiently high credit scores (below 600).

The whole article is pretty jaw-dropping.

But here’s a section that rather stood out to me—

Some borrowers say their cars were disabled when they were only a few days behind on their payments, leaving them stranded in dangerous neighborhoods. Others said their cars were shut down while idling at stoplights. Some described how they could not take their children to school or to doctor’s appointments. One woman in Nevada said her car was shut down while she was driving on the freeway.

(snip)

“No middle-class person would ever be hounded for being a day late,” said Robert Swearingen, a lawyer with Legal Services of Eastern Missouri, in St. Louis. “But for poor people, there is a debt collector right there in the car with them.”

Ain’t that the truth. You’re poor in America, here’s another indignity for you.

But that wasn’t the worst of it. Later in the story is this—

At its extreme, consumer lawyers say, such surveillance can compromise borrowers’ safety. In Austin, Tex., a large subprime lender used a device to track down and repossess the car of a woman who had fled to a shelter to escape her abusive husband, said her lawyer, Amy Clark Kleinpeter.

The move to the shelter violated a clause in her auto loan contract that restricted her from driving outside a four-county radius, and that prompted the lender to send a tow truck to take back the vehicle. If the lender could so easily locate the client, Ms. Kleinpeter said, what was stopping her husband?

Are you effin kidding me? Auto lenders can insert clauses restricting the car’s usage to a four-county radius? When the f0ck did this shite start?

Oh well, I’m sure the mighty nation of teabaggers who won’t stand for anyone treading on them will rise up in protest against these kind of practices. //

The host Matt Jones is more than just a Sports Radio talk show host, although that is his primary thing. I know he is trained in Constitutional Law, and I think worked as a clerk in the KY State Supreme Court(?)

But anything involving KY sports, particularly KY Basketball is as important as the race for US Senate. Basketball is the #1 religion in our state.

Mitch McConnell had a commercial not long ago, in which he used some KY basketball players without getting permission from the University, and then also had a brief image of college basketball players wearing blue and white… but those players were from Duke University—- doing that was a Cardinal Sin in our state.

re: #137 Timothy Watson

I’m confused by the video and the story. The story says the guy was stopped for a seat belt violation. How the hell could the trooper know if the driver had a seat belt on or not? He was never behind the vehicle and had to backup his cruiser to get behind the driver’s SUV.

My guess is Groubert saw Jones pull into the gas station on his left (out of camera view) without his belt on. Groubert then backed up and parked with his patrol car facing toward Jones, who by then was out of his car. At 1:58 Jones can be heard telling Groubert he just took it off right before he pulled into the gas station.

I don’t hate Louisville as much as I hate Duke, but that’s probably because of the family connections. Plenty of the extended family attended either UK or Uof L. Plus we can claim one side of the (in)famous UK/UofL Septuagenarian fight in the Dialysis clinic as our own. The UofL fan is a cousin.

I want someone who will willfully make uncomfortable those who aren’t anti-racist, sexist, homophobic enough. The fight for Civil Rights is a not comfortable one, nor is it a fight that is complete. Holder said that when it comes to race we were a “…nation of cowards.” Holder has consistently challenged this country to be better, and continue the fight for a fulfillment in Civil Rights, in a strong quiet sort of way.

Really? I see nothing on CNN about this.

Also…you post the most absurd sources sometimes. Seemingly without checking them at all.

Here’s the source for that tweet.

Ora TV was founded by Larry King and Carlos Slim in 2012 as an outlet to produce a new show for Larry King after leaving CNN.

They also feature Jesse Ventura.

Thanks. He’s only 16.

Lighten up Francis. I saw it breaking on CNN on TV before seeing that tweet.

OK…will wait for more on that.

Just saw your post about your nephew. Hoping for all the best for all of you.
I may disagree with you often, but it is obvious to anyone who has been here for any amount of time how much you love your family.

So that group of 2 men and 1 woman who assaulted a gay couple in Philly? Here’s her twitter:

storify.com

I think she has a future as a Fox News host.

Wow. She’s a real sweetheart. I’m sure the right are embarrassing her and calling her a victim of political correctness.

That’s a very nice thing to say. I appreciate all the support here at LGF. Cancer doesn’t choose ideological sides. It just kills.

Mitt Romney is a fish out of water. In reality, he’s more of a blue dog dem or centrist republican that is trying pretend he’s mythical version of St. Ronny, i.e., a fiercely conservative small gummit repub.

He’s also a total weasel.

It’ll take a little bit getting used to the size. I do have big hands, but some things may require two hands. That’s fine by me. I know what I’m expecting getting a big phone like this. :)

Is it big enough that Flavor Flav is going to now hang one around his neck that is set to constantly display the time?

How are survival rates? Thinking they’re a whole lot better than years ago.

Her father is police chief of a town (township?) north of Philadelphia in Bucks County.

I was reading up on APML this morning. It looks like that one has a high survival rate. I just hope they caught it early enough.

Good. He’s 16, tell him to walk it off.

re: #178 NJDhockeyfan

Good morning lizards. My sister and nephew are going through a very rough time right now. Over the past week he wasn’t feeling very good…sleeping a lot. On Monday she brought him to see the doctor who then sent him to Vanderbilt for tests. Yesterday he was diagnosed with Acute Promyelocytic Leukaemia (APML). She is a single mom who works at the school. I don’t know how she’s going to handle this personally or financially. Please say a prayer for them.

So sorry to hear about this. St. Jude Children’s hospital says:

What is the survival rate for acute promyelocytic leukemia?
At least 85-90 percent of children treated for APL are considered cured.

stjude.org

Hopefully he’ll be in that 85-90% and live a long & productive life. It’s gonna be hell on him & your sis though. I’ll say a prayer for them.
